I have a new design up on PatchTogether! Behold:


Go here to vote for the mal coyote figure to be made!

No rush on this one since the crazy coyote toy prototype hasn't even made yet (and it WILL be made, because it got the required 20 preorders -- hooray), but please vote when you can.

deviantartists may be interested to know that while "crazy coyote" is a representation of myself, "mal coyote" is a representation of my good friend *maladies, better known as *pu-sama. We often joke that we are "twins" who are similar in many ways yet complete opposite in others -- one opposite being that I draw in an angular, bright, happy style while she does curly, dark, macabre art. It is also a running joke that crazy coyote is terrified of non-angular things, so mal coyote is like a nightmare to her.

Remember that you can still preorder the crazy coyote for the reduced price of $14.95. Once the prototype has been made, the price will go up to $19.95.

Someone asked me how much profit I make from these toys; I'm not entirely sure. The site says I get 40% of total profits made, but I don't know how much profit is made from each figure. Honestly, I'm not doing this for the money. I just wanted toys designed by me to be nicely made and easily available to anyone else who wants one!

"crazy coyote" resin figure available for preorder! Production of the toy will NOT begin until 20 PREORDERS have been met. Your credit card will NOT be charged until the toy has been made.

The price is $14.95 for preorders; after production, it's $19.95. Currently it's the most affordable toy at PatchTogether! I've seen one of their resin toys in person before (Miss Monster's Foo Dog) and I can vouch for their quality.

Thanks to EVERYONE who voted and commented to make another dream of mine come true. Now I'm just one step away -- I need those preorders so get orderin'!

UPDATE: It hasn't even been 24 hours and 20 preorders have been made. The toy will go into production. Yay! But you can still buy it for the preorder price. I'll ask them when that price goes away...

My appearance at the Vancouver Comicon was a success! For my first table at a con ever, I think I did well. Thanks to deviantART folks for stopping by. I sold quite a few of the Super Smash Brothers Brush Art cards; I redrew some on the spot, but they got sold, too (note to self: Mario characters are where it's at). I'm not sure what to do with the unsold ones...I'll either save them for another convention or sell them online. I'm leaning towards saving them.

For all you Ace Attorney fans out there, I finally uploaded these:

As stated in the descriptions, I did them close to a year ago for the Court Records Sprite Cup ([link]). I didn't mention my submission anywhere because I didn't want to influence the votes, but I won first place anyway with 52% of the votes! [link]

And then I forgot about them and just now realized I never made mention of them anywhere...but now you know! Thought it would be cool to put up something other than illustrations by me. Please read the full description!

LAST AIRBENDER UPDATE! The movie prequel manga I'm drawing and *yaytime and *AliWildgoose are writing is already up for preorder on Amazon. That page count is wrong, though -- it's 100 pages, not 176. Yesterday I finished penciling the first 30 pages.

I'm a featured guest at the September 13th Vancouver Comicon! 11 AM to 5 PM at Heritage Hall; admission is no more than 4 bucks. This is my first time ever having a table at a convention. If you're a fellow Vancouverite, do drop by.

Lots of journal entries this month...well, a lot of things have been going on.

A couple of months ago, I was contacted by Patch Together, a site where anyone can submit a toy design. If it gets enough high votes, they make it into a toy available for purchase. I've been wanting to submit something for a while, but had no ideas. The only cute, simple character I could think of was...me. Or rather, "crazy coyote," the sketchy doodled coyote I always draw myself as.

And so:

I've always wanted a toy made of one of my designs! The crazy coyote is so flat and graphic, it really doesn't translate well to 3D but I tried my best. I've seen one of their toys in person, and they're pretty amazing at what they do.

Go register and vote if you want to take home a coyote! There's no chance of it being made if it doesn't receive enough votes.

While you're at it, vote on Jazaaboo's Frog Goosona and Miss Monster's Werewolf too.

Also: Donate to my AIDS charity walk -- if I reach $1000 by Sept 20, I'll draw Family Guy!
