It’s a multiplayer free-to-play open world shooter, kind of like GTA. The game’s character customization is so powerful, you can create your own clothing with your own custom designs and logos.  You can also customize cars and compose your own music in the game as well.</p> <p>I drew and painted this in Paint Tool Sai, and it took me pretty much half of the day to do!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/22630973525http://alacritystudios.com/post/22630973525Mon, 07 May 2012 22:37:00 -0400APBIllustrationMagMondayRyvaliaartdrawingAPB Reloaded<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gtqpwp7z1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Bonus Update - Odo</strong></p> <p>Here’s another Star Trek: DS9 related art I made. Like I said in my <a href="http://alacritystudios.com/post/18554465697/bonus-update-dapper-dax-for-all-the-star-trek">last DS9 related post</a>, Odo is my favorite character from the series.</p> <p>I finished watching all of DS9 several weeks ago. It’s right up there with the goodness of TNG. My only criticism, is the last season of DS9 was poorer than the other ones, but having six good seasons out of seven isn’t bad.</p> <p>More updates to come!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/22339221191http://alacritystudios.com/post/22339221191Thu, 03 May 2012 17:16:00 -0400OdoDS9deep space nineartIllustrationFanartstar trek<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3eyf98mfL1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Happy Maglorificent <strike>Monday</strike> Wednesday!</strong></p> <p>Hello all, sorry for the recent infrequent string of updates. I got a bit burned out by Boston Comic Con weekend. The picture above is a quick art piece I drew.</p> <p>I’ve been busy working the art for a six page anthology piece called “The Greatest Sneakers of All Time”, which is written by Lindsay Moore. It will be part of the <a href="http://www.ninthartpress.com/new-anthology-call-for-proposals-and-submissions/">“Greatest of All Time Comics Anthology”</a>, coming out later in the year.</p> <p>Work on Maglorificent has been put aside for the time being, since the deadline for this other project is more immediate, but will resume shortly when I have the time.</p> <p>More (and frequent) updates to come!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/22273748808http://alacritystudios.com/post/22273748808Wed, 02 May 2012 17:01:00 -0400MagMondayartcomicsmaglorificentwebcomicsIllustration<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2oudgYZcZ1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Happy Maglorificent <strike>Monday</strike> Wednesday!</strong></p> <p>Sorry for the lack of updates last week! I was exhausted after PAX East weekend. The above is a character design sketch of a character from an upcoming story I’m working on (non-Maglorifcent related). I’ll be telling more about that soon. Since I didn’t update last week, there will be another update later this week!</p> <p>I’ll be at Boston Comic Con this weekend, mainly as a visitor, but feel free to stop by the Boston Comic Roundtable’s table and perhaps you will see me there!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/21333267222http://alacritystudios.com/post/21333267222Wed, 18 Apr 2012 14:36:00 -0400maglorificentMagMondaydrawingwebcomicscharacter designThe Greatest Sneakers of All Time<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m212mllgUL1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Happy Maglorificent <strike>Monday</strike> Thursday!</strong></p> <p>This week’s update is a comic I created for <a href="http://danceraday.tumblr.com/">Jesse Lonergan</a>’s robot minicomic appearing at Boston Comic Con!

While Maglorificent is primarily a slice-of-life story, there are some dark fantasy undertones that are explored every so often. Chapter 2 visits these themes a bit heavier than chapter 1.</p> <p>I’ve been influenced a bit by my recent gaming and reading habits, playing Skyrim and Dark Souls, while reading the “Game of Thrones” series of books.</p> <p>Stay tuned for more updates!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/19961096953http://alacritystudios.com/post/19961096953Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:20:12 -0400webcomicsdrawingmaglorificentMagMondayconceptart<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1ay3vlIy41qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Happy Maglorificent <strike>Monday</strike> Thursday!</strong></p> <p>Today’s update is a continuation of the space western theme.

Some of you might have spotted this on my Twitter feed earlier. Since I’ve been watching a lot of Deep Space Nine, I decided to make a Captain Sisko-related response to this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oPkcl9sDNc">Magical Pony-related video</a>.</p> <p>It took a lot more work than I thought it would: finding a bit over thirty images of the captain, and cutting out the backgrounds by hand in Photoshop.</p> <p>Since I did not have a drawing update for you today, there will be a <strong>larger art/comic related update later this week!</strong></p> <p>Stay tuned!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/18811253714http://alacritystudios.com/post/18811253714Mon, 05 Mar 2012 17:46:00 -0500videoyoutube poopyoutubeBenjamin SiskoDeep Space NineDS9Star Trek<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m07ssmcAqj1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Bonus Update - Dapper Dax</strong></p> <p>For all the Star Trek: DS9 fans out there. While Jadzia Dax isn’t my most favorite DS9 character (that award goes to Odo), I was interested in drawing her hair and clothing design she wore in “Past Tense”. It was such an odd future take on Victorian design that I dubbed the style “Dapper Dax”.</p> <p>This image was drawn in Paint Tool Sai. I’ve been experimenting with the program and liking it a lot, mainly for the dry brush features.</p> <p>See you next update!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/18554465697http://alacritystudios.com/post/18554465697Thu, 01 Mar 2012 11:36:00 -0500Dapper DaxJadzia DaxPaint Tool Saiartdrawingds9fanartstar trekIllustration<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m035qdzNmE1qbfouwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Maglorifcent Monday - Bonus Update</strong></p> <p>Here’s a closer look at panel three from my last post.

I was redrawing this over the weekend, due to two reasons: The main character had a character redesign, and I started using a different brush technique quarter-way through drawing chapter one.</p> <p>I included a sample of the original inking I did two months ago. What a difference two months makes!

It took a little longer than expected, but here’s a three page comic for you. Click the pictures above for a larger version.</p> <p>In my graphic novel, “This Maglorificent World”, one of the main characters (Anna) is an artist who draws comics. The one above is non-canon and can happen anywhere in the timeline of the main story. You’ll be seeing a lot of non-canon pieces from future Mag Monday updates.</p> <p>Chapters 1 and 2 of the graphic novel will debut late March 2012 (so I can aptly name it “Maglorificent March”)!</p> <p>More updates to come soon, and I hope you await next Monday’s update!</p>http://alacritystudios.com/post/16800071996http://alacritystudios.com/post/16800071996Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:20:00 -0500MagMondaycomicsmaglorificentwebcomics
