The last quarter of the year 2013 really put me through the wringer. Not only have my long term personal plans been derailed (including a sadly aborted engagement), but my creative and professional development have also suffered. Not least of which is Servant, as my hard drive crashed and even my backups went the way of the dodo. No amount of preparation will work if life really wants to kick you in the gonads.

Anyway, after some period of depression, I'm getting back up. The pace is slow, and there's still challenges ahead, but at least I'm out of the personal pit dug for me. Starting from scratch, I redesigned my characters. It's the first step in moving forward with the comic. Here's a sneak peek of the new Servant:



On that note, I've contributed pinups to a special anthology created by indie artists and writers that aims to provide aid to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. You can find the indiegogo page here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/hai…

If you can contribute, great! If not, help us spread the word. Proceeds will go to the Red Cross to aid the people hit the hardest from one of history's most powerful typhoons.

Servant #3 is still delayed due to certain circumstances (some under control, some not) thus, I'm unable to provide even a tentative date. That said, progress is happening, albeit slowly. Here's a preview image that might be either the front or back cover:


In the meantime, you can still download the first issue for free (in .pdf, .cbz., or .epub formats) at Drivethrucomics: adf.ly/D4bLy


I've also started uploading pages at pmangahub.com, which you can find here: pmangahub.com/manga/index/189

To celebrate Servant's 16 years (created 1997) and as my belated birthday gift to everyone, the first issue of the digital comic is available now for FREE Download (in PDF, CBZ, and EPUB formats)! Check the link here: adf.ly/D4bLy
 
Thank you to all the fans and supporters through the years! ^_^

========================================================
I accept Character Commissions for CGI renders! I can generally do Superhero commissions, but Contemporary, Fantasy, or Sci-Fi commissions are welcome. A simple breakdown of my rates:

- $10 for a single character commission posed scene with simple costumes (i.e. unitard/spandex, domino masks, cape, simple weapons like clubs, etc.). Examples:


- $25 for a single character commission with complicated costumes (i.e. hi-tech or medieval armor, big weapons like guns or rockets, bulky utility belts, and other paraphernalia.) If your request is for specific likenesses, whether with simple costumes or not, it will also fall under this category (as it takes much longer to sculpt specific features of faces.) Examples:
 

- Additional $5 for action scene with simple backgrounds and special effects.

- Additional $5 per character in scene ($10 if complicated costumes/effects, as noted above)

- Additional $10 for complex action (i.e. big battles), backgrounds (cityscape, forest, scifi ship, medieval castle, etc.) and special effects

Samples of complicated scenes/images:


- For comic covers and sequential pages, these are subject to negotiations.

*I would appreciate providing me with as much detail as possible (descriptions, references, visual aids, etc.). Any changes made in the middle of production will incur an additional 20% fee from what was agreed upon.
** All images will be in 300 dpi.
*** I don't do commissions with full nudity, explicit sexual actions, "vore", or disrespect of any established creeds, cultures, or lifestyles. I have the right to decline any subject matter that may not immediately fall under these categories, but that I find offensive.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

PAYMENT:
- I will only take PAYPAL unless otherwise noted.
- I will start only after receiving full payment.
- Note: please set payment to "personal -> gift" so PAYPAL doesn't charge a fee!

PRODUCTION:
- Once agreement has been made, production will start. Time of production is dependent on the complexity of the commission, which may vary as I also have a day job.
- Communication is encouraged. However, any changes may incur additional fees as noted above.
- A low resolution image of the current progress may be provided if I find there is a need for it (clarification, additional input, etc.)

COPYRIGHTS:
- For personal use only. If the piece is going to be used for commercial purposes, please inform me ahead of time and we will discuss the terms.
- You retain copyrights for your characters. However, I retain all copyrights for the commission (depiction) itself, as stated by law. I may use it for my portfolios, websites, etc. Credit will be included if used in such manner.
- Please give credit by linking back to my DA page if the image is used for whatever reason.

- Once payment is received and the project is started, it is understood that these terms and conditions apply, and that I have the right to enforce and veto any and all conditions.
