Chapter 8 Page 6 – Who Was that Unmasked Kid?
You and I both know, but that’s one question that’s been driving Joltoh up a wall for this chapter so far. Where do you think he remembers seeing Denki? Pray it isn’t some weird Star Wars moment!

Chapter 8 Page 5 – Joltoh’s Got Some Splaining to Do
In a classic case of foot in mouth, Joltoh now has to deal with the thought of facing Strato and mostly Lord Hurrican! How’s he going to get out of this one?
Just in case you’re wondering, Joltoh is actually third highest rank WotS after Blizzana who is after Strato. He doesn’t act it of course, but then, Joltoh isn’t one for authority as you may have noticed in Chapter 6.

Chapter 8 Page 4 – Joltoh’s Reflection Averted
Say hello to Fraydeline, Joltoh’s head maid. Seems that Warriors of the Storm have at least one maid or butler on hand. You caught Blizzana’s maid Meullia back in Chapter 6. Safe bet you will meet more as we meet more Warriors. Meanwhile, Joltoh can’t seem to catch a break right now.
Oh and before I forget, I’d like to wish two friends Happy Birthday this weekend: Cornelius R, and Rihsa!

Fanart Friday: An Early Valentine
Hey hey hey! It’s time for another awesome piece of fanart folks!
Strato and Blizzana – by Selena Loong (Malaysia)
This is another piece from Ms. Selena featuring two of the first Warriors of the Storm in the story, Strato and Blizzana. Just in time for Valentines Day! If you know anything from Chapter 3, Blizzy has a bit of a crush on Strato as you can see here. Thanks Selena!
Starting next Friday, I will be doing something a bit different in place of Fanart Friday. But it’s hardly the end of it. It’ll just be a change of pace for a bit. Mostly to give me time to work on getting Volume 2 out by the mid year as well as a few surprises as we get into February 2012. But rest assured you can still be a part of Fanart Fridays in the future. So you can still send in art to thunderkid001@gmail.com with the subject “Fanart” or by mail to:

Keep cool readers!

Chapter 8 Page 3 – Don’t Let it Go to Your Head
It’s the first page of the the new story and take a look at this!
It’s sunset right after Joltoh’s retreat and he’s taking a bit of a lie down on his airship. As if he didn’t have a big enough head already, get a load of the design of his ship! See you next weekend!

Dream Diary
“Dream diary” you ask? Well when I was in middle school, there was this amazing book on animation that I would read over and over and over. I got a lot out of it which has been a part of where I am as an artist today. And part of what I got was something called a dream diary. That’s something of a special sketchbook that artists use to draw what they dream. It was an interesting idea so I adopted it and practice it every now and then.
Here’s a set of sketches that I had a dream about the other night. I decided to go for more realism for these sketches and I really love how they turned out!
A little girl sitting and,
a little girl running.
The girl I drew here was actually part of a dream of an old sitcom from the 80s that doesn’t exist. I can still see the dream in my mind’s eye. Someday I plan do a color version of this set either digitally or naturally or both.
Have you ever tried drawing what you dream? You should give it a try one day. It’s fun!
