As some of you know, I have created my own fantasy world (in the same vein as Tolkien’s Middle Earth). It has it’s own history, mythology, cultures, flora & fauna and a plethora of stories to go with it.
So I thought I’d share the map of my fantasy world that I am painting. It is 4′ x 3′ Oil on canvas. I finished laying in the geographical land masses, and next week I will start the water/oceans.
Here it is so far….
Ancient Kingdoms Map – Oil on Canvas (phase 1)
Back in Feb I went to the zoo and saw an amazing aquarium which was dubbed “Darwin’s Dreampond” and took a picture. Today I went back and painted it in watercolour… here is the result.

Thanks to my man, Steve, we are finally working… expect the comic to start THIS WEEKEND (March 26-28)!!! I’m soooo excited now, especially with a new toy to play with – Wacon Intuos 3 – thanks to some good friends! 
Just to let anyone know that is still actually following me here. That I’m having some issues with the Comicpress Permissions. I’m thinking that I will “reboot” the whole shibang and start from scratch… maybe that will help… but first I have to get together with my SysOp….
hang tight.. the Webcomic WILL become a reality. I’ve been doing a LOT of cartooning the past week and coming up with some great story ideas with my wife…. I’m very excited to get this up and running…
As you can see there haven’t been any updates since last Friday… there is going to be a change.. not just in layout but in purpose as well…. I have found that I can not do this challenge everyday, it is affecting too many other aspects of my life and I’m looking at what is more important to me.
I have decided to actually go for my dream of a Webcomic and that is exactly what I’m going to do…. I’m not sure on the schedule as of yet, for now just once a week, but maybe twice. I’ve already switched the blog over to COMICPRESS to help showcase this better, but until I figure out all the tweaks in it, it may be a few days before I get the blog sorted out.
I want to thank everyone for visiting the site and commenting. I especially want to say that I have a SUPERTERRIFIC wife who let me “play” everyday. But I realize that I need to do more QUALITY work, not just quantity. So here’s the next phase of my journey as an artist…
