Thanks to Che for this wonderful picture of Ferrah and Kat in post-apocalyptic garb searching for the convention. Fortunately for Che, I’ve got a slightly better direction sense to find the hotel. Slightly.

The con we are referring to of course is V-con! BC’s premier and oldest sci-fi and fantasy convention happening this weekend (Sept 28-30) at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel (in Surrey, B.C.)! This is very much more along the lines of an old school hard sci-fi type event. Last year they had a very nifty selection of stuff in their dealers room. Do come check it out, and see how well YOU would fare in the apocalypse! So if you are going to be up towards Vancouver, consider checking this event out!

If you are coming over the Port Mann bridge though, or considering it, you might want to check out this page and find an alternate route.

But yes, sorry that there’s been a lot of filler this chapter, but con season will be over soon! The only hump after this is that I’ve been selected for Jury Duty, and I don’t know what’s going on there until I get there, and that’s next week. I’m going to try to get a page or two inked up for Che, but I may not be able to post them depending on where I am and what I’m permitted to do. We’ll see.

As a complete side note is there anyone here who’s on Secondlife and happens to enjoy Japanese horror? I’ve been working on an RP there, called the House of the Crimson Wings, and I’d like to do a halloween event, but I need peeps! If you are on SL, and enjoy horror RPGs (Maybe you like stuff like Silent Hill and Fatal frame/Project Zero), please check it out and join the group. I’m Myst Panther on Secondlife.

Yeahhhh, sorry guys, between some work fail and convention prep, the comic won’t be updating this week, but I did do a nifty little sketch of Che and I. Really, Che is short like that. In case you didn’t know (which most of you probably don’t, and wont even after this post) I do all my con stuff under my business name which is “Evil Space Cat Productions“. There’s many reasons for this, but lets just say it just streamlines things because I don’t do a single comic and I make and sell other stuff besides just regular art.

So we’ll be at Cos & Effect this weekend, which is an amazing con, and we’ve got a nice corner table there. We’ll be selling buttons, prints, keychains, zipperpulls, jewelry (necklaces & bracelets), ears, t-shirts, comics, bookmarks, and fans. I’m hopefully going to get all this stuff up into the store, and make it more publicly visible on this site.

FOR FUN STUFF TO DO IN THE MEANWHILE…

Well, maybe not fun, but stuff. First thing, PLEASE ANSWER THE POLL TO THE RIGHT OF THIS POST IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY.

Some people have been apparently missing the fact there is a poll there. The more people who answer it the more I know where to put my efforts as far as creation goes.

Second thing is, I would like some feedback on your poll answers, PARTICULARLY if you answered T-shirt, artbook or roleplaying book.

FOR T-SHIRT ANSWERS:

Please state what kind of shirts you like to buy. Stuff with witty sayings? cool art? Character art? Logos? General themed art (like say werewolf is a general subject). Would you want shifters specific stuff? Or more generic. Would you like to see a t-shirt vote thing like threadless? where you could vote on several different designs and then preorder the winner? Or would you just prefer they be up for sale somewhere? There is also a thread in the forums if you prefer to give your feedback there.

FOR THE ARTBOOK ANSWERS:

Honestly, I’ve never made an artbook. What would you want to see in an artbook? Sketches? Finished art? How to draws for different characters? Profiles? World information? What’s important to you in this sort of book? Any preference on poses? do you just want to see drawings or do you want the author to blab?

FOR THE ROLEPLAYING BOOK:

What system would you want to see the book for? Its own, unique system? Or something more generic like 3.5 or GURPS?

FOR EVERYONE THAT ANSWERED THEY WANT THE GRAPHIC NOVEL:

What kind of extras do you want to see in a GN? Most standard manga ones don’t have much, maybe an author’s note, some omake strips, maybe some character profiles and title break pages. Is there something you want to see more of? What makes the book more worth buying? Extra story pages? Omake? Drawings? Character profiles? How would you expect this to differ from the artbook? I want to know what extras YOU find valuble in a comic graphic novel.

I really really appreciate patience with me for the con stuff and thanks in advance for all your feedback. (assuming you actually read the post. I know, it was long. )
