Here's two more pages from the comic: Chapter 1 is wrapping up, though on a bit of a sad note.

I know; they are so annoying.

This is actually one of only three art commissions I've bought.

I wish I could draw that well. Those are the pages of the comic I've commissioned from her. I agree that they look great, though.

The next page; chapter 1's almost done.

That's going to look positively gorgeous when it's painted.

Thanks. Well, if the polyester wasn't bad enough, that bulky armor was made of plaster, and covered in at least two layers of spraypaint. I'm glad you like the painting; I do, too.

Ooh, I want that.

Thank you very much, Mirabilis. I hope you enjoy SanJapan.

Some pages from the comic I commissioned.

Yes, it was extremely hot in that costume. The armor was heavy, and the bodysuit and cape were both made of polyester.

Ryuki, I'm wearing a wig.

And here, at last, is the painting I commissioned:

And here are the separate components of my costume:

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.
