Hello all!
So, the hunt for a job continues, as AI and some other factors have all but paralyzed the animation industry I am, still, unemployed. The economy and other factors have made finding OTHER work just as difficult. Add to that the fact that as someone with 30+years experience doing storyboards and character design, I’m not really qualified for a lot of would-be jobs anyway.
So in an attempt to rectify my inability to contribute financially to the family, I’m attempting to convert the YAFGC books to a print-on-demand model. It turns out that I wasn’t actually getting any notifications from the store as its currently set up, so hopefully I’ll be able to fix that as well. I just thought nobody was buying stuff. So once that’s settled I’ll probably have a blow-out sale to try to unload some of my stock of printed books here in favour of the new model, which will include all the books (including vol 4 which I sold out of a while ago) and new books. Ideally, more YAFGC (Volume 6 is actually just about ready to go and has been for years) and hopefully new and other things. (More “House of Paulus”, maybe some “Space YAFGC”, and we’ll see what else my brain can come up with).
Also, in a more immediate action, I’m open for Commissions! Please feel free to comment or contact me and we can discuss them. I’ll try to put together a commission info page on this website here, but I’ve got to make some cash, and I’ve got to draw.
Thanks for sticking around and understanding!
Love you all;
Rich “Beholder King” Morris
Glonda: Follow that boat!
Captain Fang: My goodness, the taffeta suits you! (spoken to a mast)
Good heavens, I can see that, as if it was already posted here! xD
Question: is Glonda alone or did she bring a couple siblings along? I need to estimate the snacks budget.
Nope just her!
Better double the budget since we will not be arguing about which kid will be doing what awesome thing.
I pity those kidnappers. Giving any Bloodhand a reason to let loose is a bad idea.
Well, and orc will be blooded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9gZEesvkeE&pp=ygURYnJpZ2h0IGlzIGJsb29kZWQ%3D
Ok, it's great to see Glonda again but is she & Charles a couple? If so, isn't Charles too young for her?
She and Charles are /not/ a romantic couple. They're just good friends. Also, Charles is older than her.
Charles and Louise are about 21 yo, while Glonda is 13. Glonda is also the 2nd oldest of the Bloodhand kids, but only by a few months.
Aren't they kinda family?
Well… they were close family friends, and visited each other a lot. Depends on how you define 'family'.
Glon and Lucas are (adoptive) brothers.
Glonda is Glon's daughter.
Charles is Lucas' brother in law and adoptive son.
Thus, they're family.
More importantly, try to tell them they aren't. We'll send flowers.
…. A series of excellent points.
Prairie Son speaks hardly. And trustly.
Woe for the bastard which tonge doubted the profound and truly that their bonds are.
Hey Rich, a couple thoughts on the news post.
The FORUMS link in the header is dead anyway, so replace it with a link to the COMMISSIONS page. That should be the simplest to set up.
Maybe find a place for those commissions people agree to let you post, plus things like the family trees, maps, the Pride images you did for T-Chall and other stuff like the list of elven gods. Just so we can point people at one place for the info.
I have an idea for a commission, but I have to figure out how to make what's in my head intelligible enough to explain.
A great thought. I've been thinking about making a Commissions Info page too. I didn't think about taking the old Forum link. Good thinking.

oh, those poor poor pirates…
Well, they are lucky.
