i love it. love the wings on the girl. very cool.

Wow....quick responses. Concerning the shirt...it's a convention....they're pating for it so...they probably get it at cost or something. Concerning the font.....the type face is "American Uncial" that's like the Mekura Logo more or less....so that must stay. Mekura is like Majik and Angels and fantasy so on and so forth.

Arik how do I get one there very cool! Personaly I think you have previously drawn artwork that will fit better and be a more poular shirt..you also need a catchy frase to go along with it!! Hmm but that would certainly work. You know you are going to have one of the more popular web comics when you get the comic books going. You should sign up with www.bigpanda.net when you get something online. Also it might not hurt to mirror the comic at www.keenspace.com ...So what are you showing off at A-Kon anyways>??

Hey do you know Newton Ewell??/ He is usually at A-Kon very good anime artist he did a bunch of work for paladium while back. Good luck there!

Hey thanks for all the replies...they are really helpful....concerning the colors...once again....I have done many shirts and they are aware that the image will look like this.......they're cool. It's ok. All of the shrts I design are mainly like this and I prepare people for this before starting on the design. Most people are excited to see what happens as well they will be selling them for probably much more than cost. Sooooo... I do understand the concern for colors but...I warned them and it's cool.

As far as getting one...well they have to pick my submission first and if they do then I would think you could maybe order one from them...I don't know really but if I win then I will post here and ask and if they agree then I will post any purchasing info. I don't get any money...just the con.

Newton Ewell....nope sorry..don't know him. As far as what I'll be showing....graphic design, how to draw, after effects, 3d, as well writing, character design and some of my latest movies and storyboards. Loads of stuff. As well I'll be selling some posters and wall scrolls and badges and dementia7.com stuff. It's gonna be cool.

Really I just love the fact that I can watch anime 24 hours a day for like 4 days straight. And the character designers from Fatal Fury are supposed to be there and the Bubblegum Crisis people and some others....too cool..

I'll be there as well. Actually, I'm really looking forward to it this year. Stop by the Radio Comix booth and say hey!

dementia7 · Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2001 1:35 pm

Sure thing Pat...I'll try and make it over if I am capable of walking....trying to finish up these storyboards is kickin my ass....I'm hoping to have at least an animatic by the time A-Kon rolls around. Not to mention all of the print stuff I need to do. Arrgghh......

d7 is exhausted

Well I believe we'll both be doing panels so we should be hard to miss. And I'm really loud so I stand out

Wow Dementia7! All your stuff is over my head. Your site is Sexalentia Buttocks! (thats a good thing) All your characters are really unique. I've seen a handfull of anime, but your style is different than the rest. I hate all those rip offs that just look the same over and over again. Yours has more of an aeon flux feel to it.
Keep up the awesome work.

Mind if I ask what the song is called that you used in the intro of Dementia7?
