It's been a while...

Wow. I forgotten about a lot of the images I'd posted on here. There's some pretty neat stuff here.

See, probably around the time of my last post, I suffered a terrifically bad hard drive crash. I lost all of my files, years of work all gone. The backups were of course incomplete. I was really emotionally devastated. I'd put so much care and hard work into all of these creations, and I had high hopes to start creating my own comics with many of these characters.

It's taken me a couple of years, but I've started to emotionally recover a bit. I'm creating characters again, and experimenting with a new look in my renders that's a bit more in line with my loves of both comics and cartoons.

Maybe it's time to start again?

Not dead yet...

...just in critical condition.

A bit more than a year ago, my computer had a major hard drive crash. I was able to retrieve most of my data, except for the data which allowed me to create many of the cool characters I showcased here. It wwas kind of a double-whammy because around that time I was also questioning what I was doing here. I wasn't happy with the renders at the time, so when my hard drive crashed I used it as a time to step back and reevaluate.

Just looking through all my old posts, I realize how many of these characters I lost when my drive blew up. All that time creating all these characters, literally hours at a time for each of them and for all the dozens of others I never posted here, and now they're all just gone.

Here I am, some time later and I find I still love creating my own characters.I've been practicing quietly, not really posting anywhere, but still experimenting and trying things out. I'll be sharing some of my experiments soon. I just wanted to try this Blogger thing out again and see if it was as easy as I remembered...

Open for business!!

Inspired by Everett Downing's blog, 365 Supers, I'm going to take the plunge and show off my characters as well. There's plenty of characters I've created over the years that have never appeared in my other galleries, and this is where I want to show them off. If I ever get around to showcasing them in my planned online comic, you'll know that they appeared here first!

...and so, on with the show!
