Thanks everyone and BLOOD FOR THE BARON

Man, I've been waiting to post Anthony Nixon's stuff for ages now, he totally rocks.

Personally I'm not fond of splitting an issue between artists, but I'm probably just biased cos I want Anthony to do the whole strip.

Nixon for President! Er...

LOL Ya he is awesome for sure , hes getting praise over on the TNI forums right now too. I am actually not up for splitting the issues up either but this was one of the first stories I started and I didnt think we would get the response that we did, I thought we would be luck to get 5 people to help us out and they would only do like 2 or 3 pages at the most, but then I got 30 colorist to help out and most of them are willing to do more than just one page so as things progressed I was able to give whole issues out to colorist.

We were very lucky and fortunate to get Anthony Nixons to help us out on this!

if your reading this man WE LOVE YOUR WORK

[Shogi]

Awesome! Yeah I think I like the idea of one colorist per book. as much as I like my own work, it really doesn't meld well with Andrew's (his looks too good....I'm so jealous )

LOL

Let me tell everyone something here: When we started this project I asked around and posted what we were trying to do, pretty much everywhere LOL and the first person to respond and not only respond but respond with an actual page was SHOGI ! his page was what got Everyone on board, his page is what made people realize how cool this project could be and so you page shogi is what started all of this, While your style is different, its still very good too and I cant thank Shogi Enough because he was the first and I wont ever forget when that first page came in!

Anthony Nixon rocks but I still love Shogis , Snake eyes and BA Shipps work on this stuff too!

oh and if anyone hasnt realized it/ seen it the colorist on page 5 " Snake eyes" at the DDP said he put 2 easter eggs on that page and I just found one! can you find it ! LOL

[Shogi]

*Blushes* Thanx man! I'm just happy to be on board, this project is fun and it's teaching me photoshop so it's win-win for me
