It’s the day between Tuesday and Thursday also known as Mash-up Day. The day when worshippers of the god Woden party like there’s no Thor coming.

The Power Ranger theme is winding down. Just this week’s and next week’s installments left to go.

I had a little size disparity going on with Barnaby and Cyran playing the Black and Blue Rangers. I wanted to keep the sizes the same for the girls so I chose Deema and Nektara over Sass and/or Zoë. Here’s Nektara in pink, a colour she wears regularly (just as Deema wears yellow regularly). The Pink Ranger is the only one given a little skirt-thing, I guess to sell that she’s a girl.

That’s all for this week. Can you guess who’s going to be the final Ranger? If you know the Power Rangers at all, you should know what colour he (or she) will be. Find out for sure next Wednesday!

Greetings and salutations loyal blog readers! Thanks for coming back!

I was reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally lazy this weekend. By Sunday at 5pm, I had completed: 1 mash-up. I also had started work on: 1 flashback. So not even 50% of my workload was done. I was able to draw one strip and I only have the colouring to do on the flashback, so now I’m at 66% done. I should be able to either finish the flashback or draw the second strip tonight leaving the other for tomorrow. I can live with that.

What did I do all weekend? Well, there was a dinner party at Fab’s on Saturday. I started getting ready for that at around 2pm and I got home around 2am (we had a great time). Sunday I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy for the third time (did I mention that movie is awesome?) I was going to watch Summerslam on Sunday night, but I got so frustrated trying just to place the order for the pay-per-view, that I decided to forget it. At least I got some of that late work done.

I have 8 strips left to write in Year 3 of the Funnies. Mouser had Red Rich, Tomaw and Skitter in his sights in Thursday’s strip. This begins the biggest hurdle I had left to jump to be able to start the end game of the current storyline. I can say with some assurance that it will end sometime during Year 4. I’d say I was aiming for before Christmas, but we all know how well that went LAST year. It’ll end when it ends.

I thought I had more to write, but my mind’s gone blank. I guess that concludes this week’s blog. Have a good week folks!

It’s a little later than usual for a flashback, but I slept in late today. It’s just that lazy kind of Friday y’know? I’ve been awake for a while now and ready to flash it back!

It’s Star Trek time again.

Here’s Cyran in his Admiral’s uniform from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I don’t know that Cyran would ever rise to the rank of admiral, but it was the colour scheme I liked best out of the ST:TMP uniforms.

Cyran-TMP

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. Back then, I gave Cyran the pad just so that his pose would be a little different from everyone else’s. I couldn’t get it to work the way I wanted it to in the new piece, so I dropped it.

Trek-Cyran-TaN

That’s all for this week. Nektara’s back next week. Field your guesses on who she’s going to be in the comments below. Have a great weekend folks!
