--Damn. I dunno, man. I think I lost count. Quite a few, though.
And no, they're not all published. Gotta have something for the
Skunkworks Graphic Novel, right? ;)

--I could post some, but my rough drafts are next to impossible to
understand. I usually just ink the final directly on paper without
any pencil underdrawing.

--It might sound funny, but the "How to draw Onyx" cartoon was almost
the truth. After I draw the characters nose position and eyes,
everything else just falls right in. I can post an example, but I
doubt it'll be very educational. O_o

--Yes and no. The technology is much more advanced. There are
orbiting space stations around the Earth (and a few other planets),
as well as a very large "country" on Mars (mostly used as a vacation
spot by tourists). Most weapons are laser, as the old bullet weapons
are a bit more difficult to come by. Most countries have either
Presidents or a Royal Family of sorts. There never was a World War
2, either. Both sentient and non-sentient species exist
simultaneously. (An example: Tamara, a feline anthro from Caterwaul
Inc. has a pet cat named Jinx, who is just like a pet cat you or I
would have). Certain four-legged animals never evolved to two-legged
sentient status. Cows, for example, or pigs, fit this scenario.

--I name every one of the characters, and provide each one with a
history. The squirrel's name is Christine, and the cat with
different colored eyes is named Mindi.

--I dunno, man. Those early pics are pretty pathetic. The anatomy
is so off it's not even funny. But I think I can find some to post...

--Yeah, you better send another one. I didn't find one in my inbox.
It might be floating out in cyberspace somewhere.

about those bodies in the back yard...
