It has been a long time since we saw this guy, so I'll refresh memories on his story. Toyo is an old friend of Kaida and Fudo. The three of them were recruited into the syndicate together. Toyo served time in prison and was released. Later, while Kaida and the others were out of town and Toyo was cat-sitting, he was attacked by Pepper and has been comatose. (Yeah, a coma. Wanna make something of it? :P ) Anyway, I figured it was long enough to result in muscle atrophy. Luckily, Toyo wasn't an Olympic gymnast to begin with. ~_^

FAN ART CONTEST

I just ordered a number of copies of my book, and I figured I would have to do something fun and give a copy away. So, I thought a fan art contest would be fun.

GUIDELINES:
~Let's go with a "friendship" theme.
~Entries must contain at least two Used Books characters. (They don't have to be central characters or good guys.)
~Keep it plausibly canonical. (It's okay to be hypothetical with relationships and what-ifs and set any time in the timeline.)
~Bonus points for recognizable UB settings!
~The rating must be UB appropriate. T+ please! (Basically anything that would pass in a PG13 movie or primetime network TV.)

DEADLINE:
November 6th
FIRST PLACE:
A copy of Used Books: Execution ($15 value)
SEND ENTRIES TO:
Either upload somewhere and PQ me with the link or email usedbooks@comic.com

All entries will be posted on my main comic with a link to the entrant's own project(s) and will later be moved to my fan art archive. I'll have my sister and my good friends Gael and Bethany help pick a winner.

DAJB: Mmmm… I like your idea better!

Anubis: We invited him, but he was stuck in a dogfight with the Red Baron.

Tantz: I figure Conrad is having dinner or something with Violet – since it's her birthday too, and she actually knows he's her father. ;)

Peipei: Sounds fun. ^_^

patrickdevine: My writing isn't THAT sappy. Close, though.

amanda: You know he always has a diamond ring on standby. You gotta take those opportunities when they come up! (And the sausages are so the dog will play with him. ;-) )
