One of the advantages to doing digital artwork is that when I draw big set pieces like the Fun ‘n’ Fantasy / Age of Animus crossover promo piece, I can “cheat” by breaking things down into smaller segments that I then cut and paste together. This makes everything much more manageable. Here then are the individual drawings that made up the whole:

Fab and Red Rich (I ended up going with Blue Rich over Red Rich because the black parts of Red Rich’s costume blended in with Fab’s hair)

I mentioned earlier this week that I used to draw a comic called Fun ‘n’ Fantasy (FnF). It was about a roleplaying group and their wacky misadventures in the world of Rengag. I posted several issues of the comic online back in 1999 (on geocities or some other defunct free website so you can’t find them anymore). I had fun drawing it but once I started working full-time I found I didn’t have the drive to continue the time-consuming process. Of course that was when I’d have to draw the panels, then scan them, then edit them, colour them, and finally add the text. With my drawing pad the process is a lot easier.

Fab told me not too long ago that he’d have liked to see more FnF. Nowadays I’m pretty busy with Age of Animus so a full return of Fun ‘n’ Fantasy doesn’t seem likely. The compromise was a crossover between FnF and AoA, and so the idea has been percolating in my brain. I drew this picture as a teaser for it, even though the actual crossover won’t happen until mid-to-late 2012. I’d been hanging on to it, waiting for the ideal time to announce the crossover and well, that time is NOW! I may look into putting a comic book compilation of the crossover story for sale on in the Age of Animus Cafepress store when it’s done, but that won’t be for some time obviously.
