You get a good shot of Dash’s shell-less back on this one. The clothing he wears has a hole right in the back so the nerves can connect to the shell. Mara has the same sort of holes in the back of her clothing as well.

Anyway, I will be announcing something next week, so keep your eyes peeled for the author’s notes next week. Exciting things are afoot.

Once again, Bandit’s Quest will update this Saturday. I promise that Diablo 3 hasn’t swallowed me up entirely. That being said, if you ever want to join up with me on an adventure, just connect with me via my Battletag: CosmicDash#1446

This week, we’ll be looking at Within a Mile of Home. Enjoy!

This week we get introduced to Dash’s grandfather, Razaal Aruzen Kameku, and we see a bit of one of Dash’s daily activities as a wee little terrekin.

My semester here at the JC is rapidly approaching its end, and by fall of this year I should be starting up at UCR. Huzzah! Exciting times! I’ll have a little bit of time between this semester and my first quarter there, so I am expecting to increase my buffer significantly.

Anyway, Bandit’s Quest will update on Saturday. I am likely to make it BQ’s normal update day from here on out.

And there has been an update at the Executor tumblr. The project is progressing nicely. I am expecting that we’ll have the pitch sent out by the end of next month.

Meanwhile, I am planning to expand the Dash universe a bit through short stories and prose. I have a little something waiting in the wing from a good friend of mine. I am debating how to deliver the content, but I’ll figure something out. Either special pages on here, or make it something for the tumblr.

If I were to write a short story featuring one of the members of the Lucky Strike crew, which character would you be interested in seeing first, and what would you be interested in seeing a story deal with?

This week I direct you to one of my favorite webcomics, Piled Higher& Deeper.

We begin by looking at the past.

Bandit’s Quest will update either later today or early tomorrow.

Also, GO SEE THE AVENGERS.

Today you should check out Rob and Elliot. It’s one of my all-time favorites.

The code word this week is “swamped.”

In case you don’t remember, a while back I went through and added pages similar to this one for the other stories.

Today you should check out Lakewood.

Here I am at near 2 AM, having pried myself away from the Mists of Pandaria beta, to deliver the cover to the third episode, Paranoia.

Priorities and all that.

Anyway, it’s high time we had a Dash-centric story that dives a bit into his background. I know you guys are going to like this one quite a bit.

Now, as always, Bandit’s Quest updates later today. Don’t forget to check out the bonus comic that went up on Wednesday, either!

Oh, did you know I do other sorts of drawings from time to time? You should check out some Avatar fanart I recent posted at the sketchblog.

Anyway, we know what time it is now…
