I'm going to try for TWO journal updates this year. Ambitious, I know.

As you may have noticed if you follow what I post here, I have been on a Avania: Frontier Garrison kick (since when am I not?), but more specifically an actual plot developing! I've been working on two fighter squadrons, their interactions with the frontier garrison, and the exploits of these heroes in the ever looming Avania-Demonuss war.

Sketchy comic detailing how the Black Lanner squadron was assigned to Hans' outpost anyway.
P1:[link] P2:[link]

Hans and Co. assembled on the outpost grounds awaiting the arrival of the squadron: [link]

Who are the Black Lanners? They're all Hippogryph nationals for one, and they don't have a country anymore so they turned mercenary for revenge, or at least a bit of money: [link]

But wait! There's also the snotty, elitist, ace pilot squadron. Don't jeer for them though, their skill is unmatched and they are tasked not only with fighting the war, but training the rowdy mercs to fly alongside the ARN: [link]

See? It's official. Got an 'animated' intro and everything: [link]

I feel a really cool dogfight 3d animation coming on...But for now just have the animation test: [link]


And lastly, gotta have some pinups: [link] and [link]

Until I find a full time position, I'm going to try to crank as much of this out as I can! Don't know when I might get this kind of time again.
