Part drawing jam, part fast-paced game show! Volunteers from the audience are paired off with (or against) professional cartoonists in a series of fun-filled drawing challenges! Featuring Dave Roman (Astronaut Academy),Raina Telgemeier (SMILE), John Green (Teen Boat) and Bob Flynn (Heeby Jeeby Comix).TCAF is one of my favourite events of the year, it’s such a great time and always worth coming out for! So come on out to Toronto this weekend for some comics and art!
Meet Ewa G. Chess club champion, 4 time top math-lete, newly crowned Prom queen, and Axe wielding warrior.
Ewa has been having a tough day. It started out great, the guy she liked asked her to the prom, she was crowned prom queen. She thought for a brief moment that those jerks actually liked her. Turns out it was all just a plot by the Necromancer Cheer Team to trap Ewa in a gym full of undead.
To anyone else this would be odd. But at RavenScar High for Wizards and Warriors. This is just a regular day at school.
(Just having fun with a story idea I had at work. Nothing may come of it, or I might run with it depending on reception)
Tumblr Streams
Anyone else think tumblr needs viewing streams? Make a stream for certain tags or certain people you follow and click on the different streams to see only things that pertain to that stream. That way you could have your fandom streams, your friend streams, your news streams, your photo/art stream, and only look at the things you want when you want them?
Or does some addon/extension already do this?
I just turned 30
It’s my birthday today!
we should all hang out in argyle sweaters and talk about local sports and taxes while yelling at younger people who are on our lawn.
Welcome to our sixth installment of Meet the Alphabeasts! Bonus preview this week is Mary the Mermaid!
Now hold on a second, I can hear you saying “but this isn’t a mermaid! Where is her red hair and giant double D clam shells?”. Let me just explain, no sailor would ever follow a siren song if they though some slimy green lady with sharp teeth was waiting for them. So the Mermaids commissioned Disney to put out a propaganda film to make them look great. That’s why you have sea lumberjack King Triton and his 800 perfect daughters. Also I bet you didn’t know that Mary speaks 5 different languages, writes the best fanfic you’ve ever read, and is unbeaten in her fantasy football league. So who says sexy doesn’t come in many different forms.

Rose and I got Skyrim
So Rose and I have been playing Skyrim. The game is fantastic, just a huge open DnD inspired world. It's basically the fantasy game everyone has always wanted. GTA style openness with dragons and trolls. Here is the top 3 fun things my character has discovered.
1. Horses are part spiderman: The world is huge and you can literally take hours to get from place to place if you haven't been there before. OR you can steal a horse and run horses up nearly vertical mountain walls. If you're pushing your horse against a wall it can get up almost any cliff
2. People are nice and will teach you things: Lots of NPCs will teach you how to level up skills. They ask for gold... which you can steal back and ask them to teach you more. You can do this as much as you want at early levels just so long as you don't get caught.
3. BIg things are hard to kill: Trolls, frost giants, dragons, they are REALLY HARD TO KILL. But if you can piss one off and get it to follow you into a bandit camp the Bandits and Dragon/Troll/Giant will fight each other and you can come back and pick off the winner.
Expect some skyrim art once I'm done with Alphabeast. This game is fun. Got any fun skyrim stories?
Welcome to our fifth installment of Meet the Alphabeasts! Bonus preview this week is Jin the Jiang Shi!
Jin is a hopping vampire. Now you may ask yourself “what is a hopping vampire?” and the answer is “a vampire that hops, you idiot”. Now this might lead to more questions like “Well why does it hop?” And the truth is that every reason to hop is different for each Jiang-Shi. In Jin’s case Jin knows that late night hops are one of the best forms of cardio workout you can have. And who doesn’t want to work up a good appetite while chasing after your meal.
Want to know more about Jin and what he’s hoping after/from? see the full sized art of Jiang Shi? find out more in May in Alphabeasts. http://alphabeast.tumblr.com/
Next preview will be tomorrow, L!
Just a work in progress of a poster of MLP
I’m gonna play around with the backround and try to cook up something nice. I always loved MLP as a kid, haven’t gotten into the new one as much but nostalgia just makes it impossible to not draw them (I had an applejack toy I loved!).
let me know what you think!
Giveaway ideas!
I’m going to be starting up a giveaway for alphabeast and the alphabeast tumblr soon. I have a few ideas for prizes but I was curious if anyone had any suggestions (especially since someone following this blog is most likely to be one of the winners).
Toss me a reply or tell me your idea in an ask!
