OOO!  Profanity!  Hope you aren’t scandalized.  But I do call this PG-13, so…

Anyhow, this week is your first glimpse of CONASUR military hardware, which I’m sure it won’t surprise you to know is every bit as effective as that possessed by the UNA and FSR, and is actually in some respects superior.  They also have camouflage, which I can tell right now is going to get to be a total pain to draw later, but it looked so good I couldn’t help it.

And speaking of things that are a pain to draw, let me tell you that chain-link fence, though it makes for fantastic set pieces, is a ROYAL hassle to draw, especially in perspective – it’s one of the things that I’ve never been able to make into a convincing pattern, and therefore simply find myself drawing raw every time I have to use it.  Or want to use it, like here.  It livens up an otherwise “lonely” scene.

ANNNNyway, this week was super-spectacular for me, because I got some really positive responses to my request for guest artwork for the post-Chapter 3 lull, and every one of them was from an artist who is so intimidatingly excellent that I can hardly contain my excitement.  To all of you, my heartfelt thanks, and know that I’ll be contacting you very soon.  And to everyone else, this hiatus is going to promise some work from some of the hottest artists and writers I’ve ever met.  It is going to be really cool.  And so hopefully it will cushion the blow of 6-Commando’s “summer vacation.”

But we aren’t there yet, so don’t get to panicking right away.  In the meantime, there’s this week’s page, and now I better get some sleep.  I’m sure there was something else I wanted to tell you, but I can’t remember it now, so…

Have a good week everyone.  See you next time!
