A Distant Soil by Colleen Doran

Hackers couldn’t stop the march of Rei Rei the Super Idol, in this tale I illustrated for Warren Ellis. Artbomb.net has been down for some time. No word on whether or not the site will return to fully active status, but at least you can go and read several nifty webcomics by several nifty webcomics people.

This was, I believe, my first webcomic and it is nearly 9 years old. This realization makes my brain hurt. Click this direct link for the complete tale.

Nine years back, I was so computer illiterate I could barely scan my art, let alone do digital paintings. So, all the panels are done by hand, including the lettering. What a lovely mash of 19th and 21st century.

Alas, the client had a hard drive loss, so attempts to reprint this story in book form have been a no-go. We do not have high res scans to do the job. If you have any of these panels and would like to help us out, drop me a line at my Contact button above.

And yes, as always, Stealth Tribes is not dead.

But those very late nights of work leave you feeling dead after about a week. Must keep a diary to determine if 7 days of no sleep to get lots of work done are worth the three days of zombie living after.

BTW, I have some ebay art auctions ending later today. And a few random pieces for sale here, too. Check ‘em out!
