Four of the Greatest Songs in the Cosmos

Around 6-8 months ago, my good friend Tony told me about someone named, Carl Sagan.


I'm not going to go into how the late Mr. Sagan changed my life, but I wanted to post four of the greatest songs ever made. These songs are remixed, and synthesized through many audio rips from Carl's TV shows and many others. Hope you enjoy them!






Symphony of Science -
'A Glorious Dawn' (ft. Carl Sagan & Stephen Hawking)


Symphony of Science - 'We Are All Connected' (ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson & Bill Nye)


Symphony of Science - 'Our Place in the Cosmos' (ft. Sagan, Dawkins, Kaku, Jastrow)



Symphony of Science - 'The Unbroken Thread' (ft. Attenborough, Goodall, Sagan)

Concepts

Tossing up three concepts that I just finished up for a client. I'm going to be inking them in Photoshop, so perhaps I will post those up later.

I was at the library last Saturday, and I picked up a handful of Manga titles. I'll get around to tossing up some reviews for those real soon as well.

Until next time, talk to you guys soon!

30 Characters in 30 Days - Day 1 and 2

So, the idea is simple. Create 30 characters, in 30 days! I am clearly starting late (as this should all be finished in November), but I'm going to participate!

Since I have some catching up to do, if I do 2 a day, by this Sunday I'll be squared away!

So, I thought I would take a POKEMON approach! So, the small version in the top left is the little creature you catch! Then with love, water, food and pretend I said all that, they EVOLVE into fighting HEROES! I'll be doing insects from A-Z. After Z, I have no idea what I'll do :)

This is Warant! A highly destructive and angry Hero.

This is Reaperfly. She has the ability to drain her target's energy to restore her teammates.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

First, before we get into the BIG REVEAL! John Lees & I would personally like to thank everyone who submitted an entry for the Standard Comic Contest! It really meant a lot, and we can't say thank you enough. So, one last time, thanks for your awesome support!

Now onto the winners!

FIRST PLACE WINNER is Eddie Crosby!
Here is the hero he submitted, with some background information as well!
Itch: A small town hairdresser is caught in a nuclear test explosion in Los Alamos, New Mexico and transformed with super human powers.

Name: Hairpin
Real name: Betty D'Angelo (hairdresser and proprietress of D'Angelo Beauty Salon)

Superpowers: 
When Betty transforms into Hairpin her hair becomes a deadly weapon.
Her modest ponytail grows over 12 feet to become a lethal cat-o'-nine tails lash alive with an electric charge. All her senses are heightened. She gains strength, agility, and acrobatic prowess.

She compliments her superpowers with weaponry that she designs herself. Her favourites are a pair of modified hairdryers that can fire heavy ammo. She is also known to use a curling tong that can slice through metal.

Traits:
Betty D'Angelo she is cool, professional, bright, ambitious business woman. She prides herself on being a great hairdresser with a loyal clientele.

As Hairpin she is sassy, head strong, arrogant, impulsive and sometimes over confident. She is more likely to fight first and ask questions later. She is also very sensitive about her hair or lack of it. Any comments about her baldness evokes her wrath.
