Just finished coloring the first page of chapter two. Here's the top half of it for your viewing pleasure. Just wait till you see what she's saying. As I posted a while back, Molly here was based on Katee Sackhoff's Starbuck and my wife. Once I drew this picture of her though, she took a life of her own, and Facebook discussions ensued regarding wether or not my wife actually has freckles. I still might tweek this picture a little. I don't want to fall behind schedule trying to perfect it. I just wish I had a professional colorist to do her justice, and for that matter a professional artist and writer to fill in for me until I then fired them for not sticking to my original vision.

On Friday, I picked up a book of his drawings, and brought it by his booth on Sunday for an autograph. He offered to personalize it and was very cool about it. In return, I gave him a couple of stickers for DRC. He liked it. In particular he liked the dinosaur spaceship design, "If a dinosaur would ever fly its own spacehip, that's what it would look like" he said. He also thought the girl I drew dangling from the T-Rex mouth was "lovely". After that, anything else that happened at Comic con would just be icing on the cake. I met some other comic creators and tried to push my comic on them: I met Bobby Rubio, formerly from Pixar, and picked up a autographed copy of his super cool Alcatraz High (bobbyrubio.com, alcatrazhigh.com) He agreed that Dinosaurs Robots and Cheerleaders were three things he liked. I spoke with Dan Mendoza (toxic candie.com) creator of Zombie Tramp. I met the creators of Archaia's Werewolf comic, Feeding Ground (archaia.com), and the creators of the web comic carpechaos.com, and the creators of Scarlett Huntress (smcomics.com) I also met with the cool dudes at Red 5 Comics and picked up a couple issues of Atomic Robo (my favorite) to complete my collection. The only down side to the whole event was I never found a Starbuck series two action figure, or got to see Katee Sackhoff, who I knew was there this year, but I couldn't justify staying past 10 at night to get a glimpse of her at the Batman Year One screening, not to myself, or more importantly, my wife. 
I saw the final Harry Potter movie this weekend with my kids in IMAX 3D. One word: epic. The problem with Harry Potter movies is if you read the book, you either know whats going to happen, or will be disappointed they changed something. But they played it just right: changed a few things to make a better movie. Not a moment was wasted. After over a decade of movies to set this one up, they jumped right into things. Before I knew it, they were breaking into Gringott's. I think someone who is not familiar with Harry's world will still enjoy it because its one long spectacle of magical battles. The one pause in the action was my favorite part: revealing Snape's secret. It was beautifully done. This was the best HP movie, (as it should be since its the best of the books), and the perfect finale.
