   Not sure if I ever introduced myself here, so here it is.
   
   I'm an illustrator from North Carolina looking to get into comics or creature/effects design. My major genre interests are fantasy and horror, but a good sci-fi story never hurts. I guess a little about my tastes...
   
   Favorite RPG system:
   GURPS
   
   Books:
   "Perdido Street Station" and "The Scar" - China Mieville
   "Conan" - Robert E Howard
   "Drawing Blood" and "Lost Souls" - Poppy Z Brite
   "The Damnation Game" and "Everville" - Clive Barker
   The "Dune" cycle - Frank Herbert
   Asimov's Robot stories.
   
   Comics:
   "Poison Elves" - Drew Hayes
   "Hellboy" - Mike Mignola
   "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" - Alan Moore
   "Transmetropolitan" - Warren Ellis
   "Kabuki" - David Mack
   "Sandman" - Neil Gaiman
   
   TV:
   Anything by Joss Wheadon, especially Firefly.
   Babylon 5
   Discovery, TLC, Animal Planet and the History Channel
   
   Film:
   The Howling, Altered States, Labrynth, The Dark Crystal, Fight Club, Dark City, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Dragonslayer, Romero's Dead Trilogy.
   
   Okay...I guess that's enough crap about me. :twisted:

   "D'ARR!"
   
   From above, a loud whistling sounds, and a massive reinforced barrel crashes down into the lawn. The reinforcement bands hold for a few seconds until buckling, and the entire set-up explodes, unleashing a tidal wave of foaming green liquid. A small figure rides the tidal wave outward and tosses Gottgen a frosty mug of foamy, salty, bubbly, green grog, filled from this very wave of the stuff.
   The figure is a penguin in a ridiculous pirate outfit, complete with tattered jacket, floppy wide-brimmed hat, massive feather plume, rose-lensed goggles, and a wooden toy sword painted gold.
   "Yarr! The reinforcement bands didn't work! Curses!" he says, and turning to Gottgen, "Yer' a man after me own heart, yeh' are! Welcome teh' th' Citadel!"

   Ah, Dune!!!! Have you read his others, like the Santaroga Barrier, the Dosadi Experiment? I would DEEPLY advise this if you haven’t. Frank was a genius. I’m new here, but hi.

   Bah! The Dune books beat any of Herbert's other books, hands down.
   I'm reading the Conan books right now. Fun, aren't they?
