Page 58 tonite!!!!

Things have been going well with the poster. I can say that putting more time into something produces better results. Actually, perhaps it's best expressed as:

(effort * time) + skill updgrades^2 = improvement :D

Well, the proof will be in the pudding, so to speak. One thing I do know for sure is that it's been a lot of fun, so far. Kinda soothing, like painting is. For those of you who are familiar with the late artistic genious Bob Ross, he shows us just how relaxing and enjoyable art can be when you just sit back, take your time, and have fun with being creative. That's kind of the exploration of this poster project.

In other news, LynxofCP is a programming genious. Why? Because Binary Vibrance is a feature-rich system that includes a ton of handy stuff for 2214 reader participation. If you haven't had a chance yet, it's that "BV" link at the top of the page. There's real time chat, community news postings, and Lynx is getting close to the public release of an all-new message board system. There are even plans of a community art / music / fiction gallery in the works.

2004 is getting off to a strong start so far.

I'd like to take some time to thank Piro and Seraphim at Megatokyo for providing such a great way to get the word out about this site. Without them, our traffic wouldn't be anywhere as near what it is today.

Oh, and Angel Moxie is back online! Dan got a new dedicated server and is offering hosting for other artists as well! If you're an artist and you need somewhere to post your art that doesn't have the restrictions that many of these "free" sites have, check it out. He's got details on his site.

Ok, so I'm going to get back to drawing. You want updates, eh? No worries, page 58 will be done tonight and the new 2214 Poster is due to be available by February 20.

That's all for now!
