HELLO~!!I'm alive!
Firstly I'd like to apologize for dropping off the face of the earth for the last uhh..how many years T_T
I'm starting with a clean slate so I apologize in advance if I never replied to a question or email you might have sent.  
I usually don't like to delve into my personal life but I feel I owe some explanations to my disappearance.
My father was always a huge supporter of my artwork and I miss him dearly.  I just can't mourn anymore.
I've done a lot of soul searching and I think art was always a double edged sword for me.  It provided a lot of things for me but in some ways it always was a blanket that kept me from examining myself as a whole person.  I still have a lot of empty holes to fill but I became somewhat more at peace with myself.  In doing so I lost most of my artistic ambitions.  It's a strange relationship I have with my artwork.  It actually is linked pretty deeply with my insecurities and
Future of OffBeat lies in 2012Firstly I hope that I didn't scare anyone with all the drawings of my other story I was posted in last week.  Off*beat is NOT being put on the back burner.  The other project is second to finishing Off*beat.  I will still be posting pics of Tory and friends so no worries!
Okay so here's the good news and the bad news I promised regarding the future of Off*beat as far as I know it.
Good News
It will be finished and the last book will be more easily accessible then previous installments.
This is slated to happen in 2012 regardless if my publishing plan follows through.
I will of course keep people updated regularly on deviantart as soon as i am certain of anything.
I will be planning on doodling plenty of Off*beat things in the meantime and posting them here while we wait.
Bad News
There will still be more waiting >_

Check marks on the list indicate completed commissions. I will be busy over the weekend, so I probably won't finish the rest until Monday at earliest. Sorry in advance!
Anyways, good night. /2:30am

MangaNext 2012 Review and about creating comicsHi all,
Lots of unedited rambling!!!
So I have been procrastinating on writing up my experience of MangaNext.  The task seemed a bit daunting because I have so much to say about a great experience!  I have been shut up in my own little world and pretty isolated from fandom and industry for awhile now.  I think I used to use the whole publishing debacle with Tokyopop as an excuse to give up on making comics.  Why else would I go from being a creator to working retail?  Well i think there was a whole other subconscious level that I simply wasn't ready to put myself out there.
I have been getting back to my roots when I first was drawing comics.  I had no scanner or internet to speak of, and only one other friend that drew.  Yet I was still drawing hundreds of pages of comics in my spare time.  Like, you know, for the FUN of it.  When did the comics go from being pure joy to angst?  I think
Facebook QuotesJust pulling some amusing quotes I keep on my facebook page for the hell of it. And for reference, D is always me.
During a field trip where a building was somehow super affected by gravity! And only in the stairwell. I blamed a friend for the inconvenience.
D- "It's your fault! You invented gravity to piss me off!"
This is in reference to the original sketch of this picture which I think friends were questioning the gender of... for... some... reason. Okay, I know I've drawn some really effeminate guys, but there's something about a nude female, regardless of fur, that I don't think you'd miss.
D- "Are the boobs not obvious somehow? Because seriously... they're boobs. Not manly tumors."
E- "They are certainly boobs."
D- "Thank you."
E- "If anyone can recognize boobs, it's me. And those are boobs."
Conversation I overheard once. It was on the Day of Silence when people were signing up.
1- "Hey, let's be gay lovers!"
2- "What?!"

:bulletwhite: Claude dressed in winter clothes walking down the streets of PokeCity.
:bulletred: Claude playing his violin as the snowflakes fall around him. (Yeah, it sounds complicated, but it really isn't. XD)

So...yeah, these are all the suggestions I have for the event. So,

Off*beat reprinting of 1+2 Extras??

:iconwulfmune:

So this month I will be working on new covers for books 1+2 of Off*beat.  They will be reprinted with my new publishing company and match the layout, logo ect of the eventual book 3.  I would like to add some extra content, and my publishers have agreed to possibly adding a limited copy insert as well.

I'd like to know what the patient, patient, (bless your souls ;_;) patient readers of Off*beat would be interested in seeing as added content and a possible limited insert.

I was thinking for added content perhaps more little funny strips, kind of omake? style. Or sharing some of my photography and talking a bit more of actual locations in NYC that heavily inspired the setting.

For limited inserts, I was thinking of perhaps a post card, bookmark, or stickers.

If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know.  Thanks!

And I will have more updates in the months to come :)

I've been watin 6 years for the third volume! I'm so happy- this year will be a big year for all of us Off*beat fans! As for the inserts, I'd go with bookmarks, maybe a coloring page of Collin and Tory and (if you can) the Collin and Tory ID tags you made a while back! I would love those!

Hello!! Wandering around Devianart I found some pictures about Off Beat and then I found that it was a real comic. GREAT! The character look very appelaing.

Please, I want all the issues of the comic, so you must announce it with big letters!! HAHAHAHA

Kind regards!!

I have a suggestion from the fb page I made for Off*beat here: [link]

Chris Redfield: Hi,Thanks for reponding.I bought volumes 1 and 2 last year from Amazon.I would be willing to rebuy either just the third volume or possibly all 3 of them again.I'd be especially willing to rebuy them if they are possibly republished as either stand alone volumes or an omnibus edition with extra content if at all possible.Lastly a discount to loyal readers would be cool too.Thanks."
