New Font: Sci-fi Stencil

I designed this font for the titles in my webcomic "Absent Horizon". I'm now one step closer to getting the first chapter finished!

Robyn Initial Artwork

This is the initial concept for the Robyn character from my upcoming Webcomic "Absent Horizon". She is a young woman that comes into contact with the Warlord's army and through her wits survives the ordeal. I'm not saying any more than that ;)

Hansel and Gretel Trailer

This movie looks so awesome! It's been done for months, why do we have to wait until January to see it? Well, to tithe all of us fangirls over for the next four months or so I'm going to review all of the rare movies Renner did before he did The Hurt Locker. Also, an awesome trailer with Renner doing the narration! Yay!

Let's Talk Baseball!

So, if you've read my header, you have probably noticed that I am a big fan of Major League Baseball. Most notably of the St. Louis Cardinals. I know, I know, I'm not from St. Louis, I'm not even American, why are they my favorite team? To be honest, they're my favorite team because they're my Grandpa's favorite team. He and my Dad are the reason why I love baseball. But that's beside the point. My point is, I love baseball, and St. Louis is my favorite team, so I plan to talk about stuff that turns my gears in the world of baseball.

This year is really weird when it comes to the best and worst teams. The one that throws me off the most is that not only that Boston is at the bottom of their division, that being the American League East, but Seattle is not the worst in baseball right now! I follow how badly Seattle does because, well, it's the only city within driving distance of where I live. And it sucks for me because it's an American League team, therefore St. Louis, being a National League team, never plays there. Anyways, as it stands now, Seattle may be the bottom of American League West at 69 wins and 74 losses, but overall, in the entirety of MLB they're in the middle. No, really. Yeah, Texas has over 80 wins, but they're a bit of a monster this year. Probably because of their loss at last year's World Series (Go Redbirds!). Here is a list of teams who are lower than Seattle (in order from highest to lowest) in the standings:

19. Seattle Mariners (American)      W 69 L 74
20. San Diego Padres (National)      W 69 L 75
21. Kansas City Royals (American)  W 65 L 77
22. New York Mets (National)         W 65 L 78
23. Toronto Blue Jays (American)   W 64 L 77  (funny how the Canadian team is in the American League)
24. Boston Red Sox (American)      W 64 L 79
25. Miami Marlins (National)           W 63 L 81
26. Cleveland Indians (American)    W 59 L 84
27. Minnesota Twins (American)     W 59 L 84
28. Colorado Rockies (National)      W 57 L 85
29. Chicago Cubs (National)            W 56 L 87
30. Houston Astros (National)          W 45 L 98

Okay, Seattle may not be right in the middle, but they're close.  As for my St. Louis Cardinals, they're contenders for the National League Wild Card.  This year there will be two Wild Card teams from each league, which will be interesting to watch.  My redbirds won their last couple World Series coming off of Wild Card wins, thereby being the team that embodies "It's not over 'til the fat lady sings."

There's only one month, if that, until the Post Season, but there can be pretty big upsets in such a short amount of time.  I'm looking forward to St. Louis battling it out for the Wild Card yet again, as well as very curious about whether the Baltimore Orioles can keep their lead.  How cool would that be if Baltimore was in the Post Season?

ALL of this information was taken and recompiled from MLB.com.  Check it out, it's a great site!

Captain Sam Initial Artwork

This is Sam. She is one of the five main characters of my webcomic "Absent Horizon". Initially she was meant to be the captain of a ship, but now I've changed the story so she meets Stewart, the main protagonist, on a long distance transportation vessel.


In this shot she has pointed ears, which only appear when she's using magic. Yes, this is a sci-fi, but it also has magic.
