Back in black metal mania. This one goes to 11.

Journal Entry: Mon Jan 3, 2011, 4:43 PM



Welcome to 2011, my Beloved Minions.  The year that will finally bring us flying cars, robot servants, and cosmetic gene-splicing.  I for one, am excited to the point my nipples have carved holes in my ratty-comfy Spinal Tap shirt.  It will be such a good year.



I hope your holiday bounty was as spectacular as mine.  The only thing missing from my finely wrapped pit of tribute, was a paradox-free time machine.  And since those can be difficult to build without sundering time and space, I can easily overlook this one tiny flaw in an otherwise perfect festival of excess.



I'm not kidding in the title of this week's post.  It is metal mania for the new year, and we'll start things off with a surprise preview for the upcoming Magic the Gathering Mirrodin Besieged set:  Glissa, the Traitor.






And as a bonus, what should technically be labeled a study, but went pretty much to the point of a finished painting:  Notglissa, the zBrush 4 Studyxperiment.






Now then, more metal from the land of Rokugan: the Mempo of Jigoku.  This is what you wear when nothing but the uncontrollable soiling of your enemies armor will do.






And finally, what truly metal post would be complete without someone sporting copious spikes and chainmail?  I present Dragoon Zytl from the Legends of Norrath.






Next week:  Jedi and Sith!  Rachi Sitra gives us a lightsaber lesson that will end in an emergency room visit, Namaan Cha practices his "menacing face," and Vader is finally back home in the gallery.  Also, we'll catch up on the card alters and sketches I've been up to.




There is still room on the mailing list for you to squeeze in, provided you are amply buttered first.  (Email me from the Contact Page to join.)



May your New Years Resolutions be fulfilled with speed and tenacity.



Until we meet again, my Beloved Minions.

I've applied to be on your mailing list before, and nothing has happened :< So saddening. Should I try again? I would like to be privy to more of your wisdom, oh awesome one.

I really do. And it's awesome. It's like the old-school 80's tour shirts, with the venues and dates on the back. Only, all but two or three read "cancelled."

haha, great, never though those existed. And the cancelled dates are a very good detail.
