Another high detail Mankey commission.

The last of three.

I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE BOY

Hazel
The Wise Mankey Commission: Part the Twenty Third

Also, I wanted to mention this during that last COLD update, but I was retarded. Did you all know that in less than a month will be the year anniversary of Samurai Pizza Cats: COLD? Boy, does time fly. I still remember doing the first ten pages that comprised of the opening theme song and that didn't seem like so long ago. Will I do anything special? Aside from the colored page every 100th page or otherwise special occassion, probably not.

My point is that having done icons for various different Fireball20XL series-es, I find myself asking...WHERE THE HELL ARE MY COLD ICONS, DAMMIT?

XD I kid, I kid, I kid. I couldn't resist. If anyone feels up to it, by all means, but really, I'm just kidding around.

Right, here's the COLD update that woulda happened last week if I hadn't been, yanno...at Wrestlemania. Which kicked ass, by the way, thanks again, Mankey.

I also made this random Renner fanart while I was over there. I wanted to wait until I had more artwork page stuff to post it with, buuuuuuuut egh.

Moot point at this juncture, but all the same, merry 100th, Teekster.

OKAY here's another wonderful Wise Mankey commission for you all! May just be his last, too, because if he ever orders anything like this and the last one ever again, I will KEEL HEEM SOH HOARD! THAT THE NEXT MANKEY WANNABE. EES GUNNA FEEL EET.

Yeah, I'm still trying to tinker around with what Renner has given me, so a great load of the site might be out of whack until then. Just a heads up. Not a lot has changed otherwise.

In the meantime, check this out. I made the original art for the banner for the TRG page, but I liked it so much that I made it into a wallpaper.

Yeah, uh...sorry for the lack of existance on my part during the past week or so. But you'll be happy to know that my little vacation is over! Never taking one of THOSE again. And you might know what that means. In a week or so's time, the return of the Samurai Pizza Cats!

I know someone's gotta be hyped for that.

But while we wait and to give this update some meat, here are some art pieces I've done over the dead period that you haven't seen at my defunct art pages.

"How dare you open a Space Ranger's helmet on an uncharted planet?! My eyeballs could've been sucked from their sockets!"
Buzz Lightyear

AH HA. DID IT. I said that I was going to be able to make the next two TRG episodes before the end of the year and so I have.

Right. Now that that's finally over with, I can get on with the announcement I planned to make. I know that video I was in a few days ago did it absolutely no justice, so I shall repeat it all here as first intended.

Now then. I don't think I need to explain that times are tough. I've made all the empty promises, the hopes for a more constant influx of comics for each of my serieses, but once and for all, I seriously think it's time to do what I should have done a long time ago and start pulling some plugs. It's pretty bad when you can only do, like...TEN comics a year, and that's putting it ever so nicely. So here's what I shall be doing.

Author Space. All Plots Aside. 4-KOMA. The Fallout Shelter. Dead. These four serieses were never meant to really go anywhere, more like filler to have something on the site while the main comics were being worked on, but when you can't even do THOSE anymore, you know it's gotten pretty bad.

Sweet Revenge. Cancelled. I apologize, but I can't say I'm as proud and hopeful of the overall story as I once was. Thinking over it, it just isn't going anywhere at all. You'll soon see what I mean as, like Kirbopher did with his final season of TTA, I intend to construct a "What Would Have Been" as my final act for SR, detailing what would have happened and accompanied with respective art for some of the more important scenarios.

Obviously, I'll still work on Samurai Pizza Cats: COLD. And The Rouge's Gallery, I fully intend on finishing this goddamn story arc AND TRG 300. And once those are over, I intend to return it back to what it once was intended to be: my own little random comic hub. Basically, I'm taking what I made into APA and returning it to it's original home.

I know there are a lot of people who might be saddened or upset by this turn of events, both old Rogueamaniacs and the new ones that have been popping up lately. I appreciate that even after five years of irregular updates, you all still support me and my work to no end. However, this decision has been one I have wrestled with for months on end and it's high time to make a decision. Any and all ideas I had back during the comics' prosperous times, I dislike now to want to do them, and there's nothing worse for an artist than forcing yourself to put your ideas down on paper...well, there may be worse, but that's just one scenario appropriate to this situation.

And it's not only that. Working on such things as COLD, the commissions, and various other things have made me realize that I like using what artistic talent I have for others more than I do for myself (which isn't to say that I WON'T be drawing for myself anymore. PUH). Getting rid of the burden of five comics that need updates and never will see them will give me the time and focus I need to do such things. And if I have a comic idea, I can just make it, slap it here in TRG, and be done with it.

So. There it is. I still need to work on redoing the site somehow to match these changes, which will be tough since I know very, VERY little site coding, but that is the state of TRG Productions and what the future holds as far as what I bring to the table. Naturally, the five dead comics will still be available for your reminiscing pleasure, both now and whenever this site gets overhauled. Nevertheless, I thank you all for being there during my initial run and will still be here for whatever art I cough up. It was a blast and I will miss doing these strips, but you know the old saying about all good things.

Well...no...but it's just as well since it kinda coincides with a major announcement I'm going to make soon regarding the state and future of TRG Productions. Stay tuned.

Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the business, but I think this is a good spot to invoke a cap.

Note that I am NOT closing down the shop again. Once I clear the list of what I have a bit (and I have been rocking with commissions as of late), then feel free to order again, I'll still be here. If you are still negotiating orders with me at the moment, I will still take your orders, but any newcomers, I'm sorry, but I am beyond full...again. XD;;

Moe Haggany

Finally! A full colored picture of the COLD exclusive character, Moe Haggany. I took some liberties with the color scheme, taking into account some of what Psy did in old design sheets and bits and pieces of how the Pizza Cats are colored. As far as the looser clothes he wears on his arms and legs, while working on the COLD pages, I just more figured them to be colored more as I have them here rather than the dark blue and grey colors Psy tried out in the past. I prolly should have made the initial green color a bit more darker, though.

In doing this, however, I realized that since page 26 on (basically, when I picked up ever since moving to Ame's), I have not been shading in Moe's nose. SHAME ON ME.

I'm not going to lie to you all, 'maniacs. I'm not going to meaninglessly apologize, I'm not going to make excuses. I AM going to be straight up with you all. I do NOT have the time I used to to be pumping out comic after comic, artwork after artwork like back in the good old days. Working five full-time days for the majority of my waking hours and having tons of different projects to do all the while, while trying to actually have a LIFE outside all of this, I'm just not the machine I used to be.

BUT. Would you like to know the difference between people who often find themselves in my shoes and myself?

A great load of them put down their pencils and quit. I have every intention of continuing.

With the exception of Samurai Pizza Cats: COLD, it being a scheduled work which I have to, unless otherwise stated, supply Psy every two weeks as agreed, my comics, the commissions I owe, TRG 300, and all things in between, they will take time. They will take A LOT of time. This can't be helped. I apologize for this, but I'm a man of the working world. I appreciate those who understand this, especially since this isn't a song I haven't already sung in the past. I just feel compelled to let everyone know that I am still doing my thing and have no intention of hanging it up any time soon.

With the grateful assistance of Jen Irwin, we are concocting a plan to turn this site into something a little more befitting of my current living situation. A place where it won't just be my comics, so it will look a lot more up to date than it is. When will it be finished? I don't know, but it's a plan in progress. Stick around.

If anyone here is a fan of wrestling, you may know or be shocked to find out that "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, his wife Nancy, otherwise known as Woman, and their son Daniel, were all found dead in their Atlanta home.

I'd rather not devulge back into the horrible details as you may have all heard by now, but I want to give my condolences to the remaining members of the Benoit family.

"This is my life.... I have battled and lost, Struggled and won... I have had victory in defeat and defeat in victory... I will never be overmatched or unprepared... This is who I am and who I will always be... I am Chris Benoit."

BigNasty4Life: Jenni doesn't admit it now, but she was claiming Mihoshi
maikerenna: That is sort of funny. :-)
BigNasty4Life: Jen, technically smart and all, bieng Washu, and Maria a little psycho Sasami XD
maikerenna: So, if we were to throw in Maggie in the equation, who'd she be?
BigNasty4Life: Something tells me Ryoko

----------------------------------------

Over two years ago, I had that conversation with Mike Renner about something that was true enough. Various females (be it real or character) were coming after me for my affection at the time. And I've always thought of myself to be a lot like Tenchi Masaki of Tenchi Muyo!, one of my first and personal favorite anime series-es of all time. It was originally going to start off as a small little joke of a pic, but then various others started to pop out of the woodwork asking to be various characters from around the Tenchiverse as well. So I just went and sort of held an audition for who wanted to be who.

This project took way, way, WAY too long, mostly because at first, I was going to draw the pics and have someone else color them. Three times I tried hiring a colorist, first being Jenni, second being Sephi Kitsune, and finally Deathly, and each time it didn't work out, mostly because I suspect each one didn't have time to do this and I wasn't going to pester them to get the work. So I just caved and decided that I was just going to do this myself. I still thank all three ladies for agreeing to help.

And here we have not only a funny little thought that grew into something larger, but also my tribute to the series which inspired me to do better with my art (My drawing style is heavily inspired by Hitoshi Okuda, the artist of the Tenchi Muyo! manga).

Finally, the lineart of this piece is OLD. I don't think I need to remind everyone that this took two years to complete. So please lay off the critique. ESPECIALLY the "Oh, I know you said not to critique BUT" crap.

ROLL CALL!
