Description Happy New Year!!!  Sorry I haven't posted much lately--the holidays and deadlines really kicked my butt, but issue 8 of The Revival is nearly done!  Here's a page from it to give you an idea of what awaits!  The forest Red is running through is a reference to an 80's commercial, and I'll give you a million robo-bucks if you can figure it out.  I'm not giving you much to go on here, but old 80's nerds like me might remember a certain fun forest.

Here's to 2017!  More to come!

Looks awesome! I love your sense of colour as well.

Thanks, Cat! ^___^ Yeah, I really like using this drab palette for the post-Apocalyptic stuff!  It seems to drive the point home.

Gah! I just love your style! How do you combat procrastination? I feel like all I want to do is draw, but then I get, I don't know, scared maybe? And I just stop for a few weeks. It's driving me bonkers! However, seeing new work from you and other Deviants always gets me motivated again!

Thank you so much!  I really appreciate it!

Yeah, that can be tough for me, too--the thing that keeps me most motivated is just my love of the story, and wanting to move it forward, but there are times when I just get so sick of drawing the same thing over and over.  Watching a movie or seeing some art online that inspires me usually does the trick, and makes me want to get back to it!  Sometimes it's good to take a break, too, and maybe draw something totally different, just to cleanse the palate, and then I feel more open to draw the stuff I felt bored with before.  Fear can be an issue, too, but I guess the best way to beat that is to just face it down!  Good luck! ^____^

You got it, sir!  Well done!  There are scenes in other parts of this issue that make the reference a little clearer, but I don't want to give anything away.

Your 1 million robo-bucks are in the mail.  I swear.

Sweet!!!! I'd rather have the privilege of working together again, actually.

Actually, the bottom fell out of the robot economy long ago, so robo-bucks are only worth pennies on the dollar now.

Aw shucks!  Thanks, man!  I know, right?  It's really bumming me out how much time just seems to zip by--there are so many things I want to do, but just no time to do them!

OOOH!! Thank you for the showing!
I don't know what the commercial is, but I'm going to try and figure it out.

Thank you!  Good luck!  It's a pretty obscure reference, but I bet it'd show up in 80's commercial compilations.
