Average British Fantasy Author of the 20th Century: Born in Hong Kong, raised in Singapore, Kingston and Oxford, he kissed his first girl at the tender age of 38. He spent 23 years obsessively writing notes for his epic masterwork, the Sword of Gormenlia series, with elements drawn from Indian mysticism, Arthurian mythos, Surrealist poetry, Victorian racism and Radical beliefs[?]. He died in Cyprus where he owned the world's most beautiful houseboat.

Average American Fantasy Author of the 20th Century: Born on the border between Ohio and Montana, Wizjeremiah VanderMcDercken, better known by his pseudonym John "Wizard" Whiteman, was raised in a ghost town and was the only citizen of his county who could read. At the age of 14, he stole a car and drove 30 hours straight to New York City to send his first story "The Alien was Really a Man" to Astounding Stories, for which he was paid a whopping 12$. A string of successes followed, including "The Man was Really a Robot" "The Alien was Really a Wizard" and "The Wizard is Really a Man When You Think About It". He harassed Samuel R. Delany for twelve years over a mild criticism of one of his now out-of-print novels. Died in Yonkers where he had a condo.

Average French Fantasy Author of the 20th Century: Despite publishing over 170 novels over a period of fifty years, no one outside of France, or indeed within France, knows who Jean Messac is.

He lived in a shoebox gifted to him as a joke from André Breton. He was a high school teacher and wrote for a variety of magazines and publishers, was institutionalized three times and was a Majdanek survivor. His books have all been translated in Russia and Japan following a popular JRPG adapting his saga "Pox-Children of the Kamchadals". He died in the same city where he spent his entire life at the age of 64.

Comic of otacon and snake from metal gear solid. 

First panel shows otacon and snake facing eachother in front of the elevator before the helicopter fight. Their bodies only silhouettes.

Otacon: do you think love can bloom, even on a battlefield?

Snake: yeah, I do

Next panel shows Snake with one of his dogs beside him, months after Shadow Moses events. He’s holding his door looking confused at Otacon, who appears in the next panel wearing snow clothes, greeting Snake sheepishly from the other side of the door

“I wanna ask you…”

Heres my 8 page love letter to the otasune dialogue ever that made me crazy over this series, please enjoy!

The next page has Otacon trying to convince Snake to join him to stop Metal Gears, the ex soldier smiling softly while hesring the engineers speech.   Already conviced, they shake hands on the next panel, a newspaper on the following panel showing the name “Philanthropy” as the headline.  Snake appears on a sneaking mission hiding from a guard, while Otacon guides him thru the place with his computers.  Time passes, next panel shows Snake grabbing a beer can from the fridge, looking at a sleeping Otacon on the couch, the light from his laptop illuminating his face.   The last one shows Snakes hands covering the engineer, an email signed E.E can be seen on the screen.  Snake (offscreen): Any place
Page 3 starts with Snakes and Otacons feet walking, the walkaway over the Hudson bridge visible on the next panel.   The next three panels shows them chatting cheerfully, the next with Snake talking, Otacon looking at him with fondness while not paying attention at the words being said. Snake turns around to stare at Otacon, making a “…?” at the lack of response from his partner. Otacon swiftly turns away before the soldier csn catch his expression  “People can fall in love with eachother.”  Time passes. The final panel shows a dark sky with rain falling, small embers floating at the bottom
Snake(offscreen): But…

Otacon is on top of a boat, his face contorted in shock and fear while rain falls on him, the tanker exploding on the distance in the middle of the Hudson river

The first panel has Otacon finding Snake with a flashlight, whos barely floating on top of a teel pipe from the wreckage.

The following ones show Otacon pulling Snake from the water, who appears unconscious with blue lips and cuts on various places.

Otacon worriedly starts doing CPR on the soldier, the last panel showing him beating Snake on his chest with his fist.

Snake (offscreen): If you love someone,
Snake regains consciousness, coughing water out of his lungs, but quickly starts losing it again. 

The second panel shows Otacon from Snakes blurry POV, looking down on him with a terrified expression, yelling “SNAKE! STAY WITH ME! DAVE!” hoping that will keep Snake from going under.

The final panel is completely black.

Snake(offscreen): You have to be able to protect them
The page starts with a blurry picture, which clears up on the next panel, showing a ceiling fan from someones POV. The sunrise sun turning the colors bright and pink.

Snake appears on the following panel waking up on a bed, covered in bandages and with a black eye, looking at the ceiling confused. A click sounds offscreen, making him turn his face to the place the noise came from, making a “?” Speech bubble.

Otacon appears entering the bedroom. Hes looking haggard, his eyes downcast making him not notice Snake yet. A cup of coffee is on his hand.

The next panel shows Otacon raising his eyes with a tired and sad expression, expecting to find Snake still unresponsive. 

His face turns from sadness to surprise on the final panel, noticing Snake is finally awake
The final page starts with Otacons mug shattering on the floor with his only legs shown running being followed up by Otacon trapping a very surprised Snake going ❗️on a tight hug.

The second panel has a closeup of Snake looking at Otacon who’s still hugging him in silence, his hand shyly hovering close to the engineers back

The final panel shows Snake finally returning the embrace with the same love for Otacon, the colors of the drawing turning brighter and warmer.

Otacon (offscreen): I think so too

being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five

I'm in my local bakery, and one of the policemen is there talking with a colleague. I overhear him say, 'Now I know you're not very excited about this, but how do you feel about cardboard boxes?'

Took A Couple Of Evenings To Get This CQC Combo Animation Done.  I Felt Pretty Bad For The Guard The

Took a couple of evenings to get this CQC combo animation done.  I felt pretty bad for the guard the entire time I was drawing this.  Can’t say I really enjoyed making this animation, even though Snake was looking pretty fierce.  But one of the things that I liked about PW and especially TPP is that the enemy soldiers are just human beings who get scared and show concern for each other, unlike faceless enemies in other games.  It’s definitely a quality we’ll have in Peace Day as well.

I made this cutscene for Unstable Scientific! It's a bit sketchy in some places, but mostly finished!

This is a WIP opening cutscene for Unstable Scientific!  I got a bit too ambitious and made FMV animation for some of it, but other parts are still just in sketch mode.  But you can see the characters and the backstory exposition dump! Original music by the Supermarcato Brothers! Funny story, I needed to make the wireframe physics diagrams but for the life of me couldn’t figure out Blender.  I ended up just screenshotting the wireframe model view and sticking that back into Photoshop!

Peace Day - A Retro Peace Walker FanFic Game

My husband and I were working on a retro-style platform Peace Walker fangame.  But even non-commercial fangames can get one into trouble so we decided to stop.  Sorry.  I don't have the heart to take down this blog.  If you'd like the sprites for your own non-commercial stuff, let me know!
