Whenever I start running out of names for extra unimportant characters my mind jumps to the weirdest places. Here, it goes to “Pride and Prejudice,” (Collins and Darcy) Charles Dickens, (Twist) and the Warning tag on the hairdryer (W/arnin/g… get it? XD)

Aaarrrggh… I was hoping I could color and post a page of 1Q before I left for college, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. :(
Yes, that's right, kiddies! Cheeko's getting a new laptop! And not just ANY laptop, but a Tablet PC! You know, those cool computers which allow you to draw directly onto the screen? I'm hoping it will be a nice switch from a tablet: I'll actually be looking at my hand again while computer coloring (something that is literally impossible with the WACOM).

But I digress! You're probably wondering how this week's page is in full color when I can't color myself! It is a good thing to wonder, because that shows you are attentive and astute in you logic and skills of observation.
Therefore, I extend an immense gush of gratitute to the wonderfully talented Soronuume of the new online comic “Codename Duskfire” (http://www.drunkduck.com/Codename_Duskfire/) for aiding me in a time of need! (Wazaga was WAAAAY too busy cleaning out her house and putting down new, nice-looking tiling to be bothered with my lowly requests…) And what a great job she did! Isn't it simply marvelous? ^^
I have to admit, I was really surprised with her color choices for the captain there. In my mind he was just going to be another human (you know… brown hair and brown eyes), but she made him yet another creature of fantasy. Thinking about it, it makes much more sense, and now I've got a few ideas in regard to his species and some cool things it can add to the upcoming scene. *evil grin*
Thanks, Nuume! You rock muchly! Be sure to check out her site and tell her so too, guys. I'm sure she would appreciate it. Check out more of her gorgeous coloring there. She has some really great characters… especially Duskfire. She's got a great color scheme.

On another note, this will be my last update before I move to college. Rather bittersweet, yes? I'm picking up all my things and moving out of the house. People keep telling me I'm going to have an absolute blast, but I'm still trying to grasp the concept of actually leaving home.
Meh. Anyhoo. Hopefully my computer will come soon and get my mind off it, what with transferring files and reuploading Photoshop and junk.

See y'all later.

Cheeko out.
