I know I screwed up Alice's right arm in the bottom panel. Made it too long… :(

And also, from now on, I would like to put the word out to everyone who reads this comic to please put constructive criticism in your comments whenever you can.

That is the ONLY way I can improve. I want to improve because as of this point, there are some big fish circling around this comic… and therefore I feel the pressure on my shoulders and the need to take my skills to the next level.

@jerrie, Genejoke, ghostrunner, mmm bacon0, Jonko, Asbin - thanks for commenting.

@Sugarless - hey! Welcome aboard new reader!!! Hope you stick around.

@UncleRice - interesting. So you know Greek? I wonder though what are the Greek words (and context) for:
- God
- Son
- Father
- Energy
- Consciousness
- Spirit

I am at a loss when it comes to Greek. So… I tend to rely on the KJV for Bible-related things.

@maycroft - Re: Combatron, see response to Sariling Mundo.

Anyway, every top economist (the likes of Bob Chapman, Webster Tarpley, Max Keiser, Gerald Celente, etc.) thinks that the American economy will have a very hard time to recover if ever. Because:
1) Lack of industrial base. Most factories are off to China
2) Devaluation of the US Dollar. More and more nations are dumping the US Dollar.
3) Lack of family farms that used to be plentiful during the great depression. Remember: "An army marches on its stomach" - Napoleon Bonaparte

@Sariling Mundo - I see. I kinda threw that project over at the wayside (Re: Combatron [Space Warrior]). I hardly have time for that these days unless I'll put MAG-ISA on hiatus. If I put this comic on hiatus, the other fans aren't gonna like that.

I've privately discussed with someone else that I might put MAG-ISA on hiatus so I can do BK[Classics]. He/she (you know who you are and youre probably reading this) was like "NO!!! OMG!!! DONT DO THAT!!!"

I'm watching the "Project Combatron" website. When it gets completed, I might start up a translation of it here at drunkduck.

@SoniaCBU - cant wait to see your fanart. No matter how "crappy" it is, just send it. Btw if you havent read BK[Classics], read it. I put up that comic online during the geocities days. It originally had 50+ chapters. Improvement sort of came naturally the more I drew. I didnt take art classes or take any theory or EVEN THOUGHT about drawing from life.

I only took art seriously and had some formal schooling (1 year) around 2003-2004 period. In 2002 I took some 5-day figure drawing class and my training pushed up my skill ALOT that I won "most improved" award in 2004 for BK[Shattered Hate].

Then things reached a plateau for me as far as art is concerned (notice the measley 20-40% or so skill improvement between BK[shadow nemesis] and MAG-ISA… that only sorta came in naturally the more I cranked out pages).

I originally wanted to improve so much so as to be able to get into the animation industry. However I got disheartened after hearing so many stories of animators working 15 hour shifts and sleeping at their desks and getting paid a measley sum ($40k a year give or take) in return. That and countless more reasons that would take me another 5 page high school term paper to write up and explain in detail. :)
