Good luck with that. I wanted the same, but what I ended up doing was commissioning a comic for my story. Most artists aren't willing to work for free, so I think your best bet would be either a commission or an art trade.

All right; the pictures are here. Now, I might have to make a couple post to show them all; they're pretty big, and there are a lot of them, so bear with me.

I know I certainly haven't had any good ideas about where to take things next...

Yes, yes. You guys will have your pictures soon. They haven't been uploaded to the computer yet, but they will be soon.

Well, I had a fairly interesting day yesterday. It was the first time that I had ever participated in an Anime Costume Contest. Unfortunately, that day as also the start of what I later found out was a record-breaking heatwave. So, there I was, in a heavy, black cape and armor, not to mention the fact that the costume I was wearing was made of polyester. It was sheer, unmitigated torture. I look forward to doing it again next year; with some choice improvements to the costume, of course. Pictures will, of course, be forthcoming.

That was fun. I'm still looking forward to seeing Valkyria come out of her armor, and Deadpool getting slapped for making... comments.

Finished reading; review forthcoming.

It'd be interesting to have Hyperblade seeing the end of the Judge and the Devil's argument over Kenji.

Well, I suppose it all comes down to the way you look at things. If you look on that kind of thing as making you stronger, than I guess it will.

Well, that sounds unpleasant. I wish you guys all the best.

Well, I hope you can stay closer to the former half than you do the latter. Besides, bloodlines don't make a family, they just make someone related to you. That's something I've learned over the time I've lived with my family. Me, my mom and my sister all live together, but we haven't had much contact with any of the other relatives. By our own choice; they were a bunch of no good jerks.

Yeah, the link itself is pretty obvious. At least no one has an excuse to go asking questions that have been answered.

Ah, that makes more sense. I guess not all families are as close as mine. It'd be nice if they were... Still, I hope you had a good Easter, regardless.

You haven't had this kind of thing with your family, Ryuki?

I just had the most wonderful Easter feast; roast beef, with potatoes and carrots. My mom's a great cook; I love it when she makes these special meals.

My sister's just been a bit too busy for me to ask to use her digital camera. I'll try to get her to let me use it for a little extra time next week.

Go ahead; I don't mind.

Just finished; you'll have my review in a bit.

Turning his attention to the little Zoalord for a moment, the Devil saw that he had again managed to wake up. Zoalord recovery-times were truly impressive. Firing a dart that contained a powerful, slow-release tranquilizer into the boy's neck, the Devil turned his attention back to the insolent Judge.

That's good, I don't want you to lose data, either.

Yeah, I heard about that. I didn't even know it was possible to save files to the Desktop. I just save them in folders, myself.

The clock-thing had all blown up in a really big explosion; he'd made a shield, just like Dad had taught him to, but he was still really scared. Charlie looked like he was okay, though he still hadn't let go of his waist, and his eyes were closed. "Hey, Mr. Charlie, are you-" Just then, something came right through his shield. He didn't know how that had happened, since Dad had told him that nothing could get through a Zoalord's forcefield, but the shield was still up. The thing that had gotten through was long and skinny, and it was spinning really fast. Then it stopped; then it made a big poofing noise... and then everything started to get blurry and dark... (the Devil's POV) Imakarum's son; now there was a prize worth a fair bit. The others would be pleased to see this one; Death in particular, he knew. Grabbing the boy-Zoalord's long hair, he pulled him up from the floor and stripped the child of his ceremonial silver-and-blue armor. Doubtless the whelp had called for his father's aid during this battle, and dealing with an overprotective Chronos Lord was not something he was in the mood to do. Still, it would be rude not to leave some sign of the boy behind, the Devil thought with a chuckle, as he left the building with the jumpsuited form of little Ingriam Mirabilis.

I think Apollyon's power is mimicry, for the most part. Though he does seem to have the basic suite of Zoalord powers, too. Still, there's clearly a lot we don't know about him.

That's good to know. I eagerly await the finished product; I'm sure it'll look great.
