Hey you all

Hey guys,

It's been a while, I know :/

Also, crazily, my Ratchet facebook account has been suspended because I guess they found out an actual robot named Ratchet is not the real person that owns it or something and I have no idea how to get it back and no idea how to contact you guys without it as my personal account is not connected to even the facebook group apparently. Hilarious for someone that both posts comics online and builds websites but there we have it.

So I haven't been drawing a lot of comics, (family stuff, work... lots and lots of work which isn't a bad thing because it helps pay the bills) but I have been doing a lot of writing. Not just transformer/CiD stuff but a lot of writing in general. So I've been trying to keep sharp. I don't know if anyone would be interested in me posting one of my short stories here but that's all I've got for the past 3 months as I find it's easier to write at 10pm at night then to try and draw at the moment.

I haven't given up on the comic though, I've actually written a bunch of stuff for it, just need to start drawing again. I have a comic that's about halfway there. Everytime I think I can work on it something comes up though but I think come spring (legit spring, not "march" spring) then maybe my work will slow down like it did last year and I'll have more time to punch out some comics again.

Sorry for disappearing. I think I just needed some time away for a while.

What started as a simple joke page comic quickly turned into a double page comic with a much darker overtone.
So as it's a double update I probably won't have it coloured tonight, but will probably post it tomorrow night after I finish.

IS MY SUNSTREAKER HANDSOME ENOUGH!? You'll have to let me know... lol.
I don't know why that even matters to m-GET OUT OF MY HEAD SUNSTREAKER

One more week to get my final pictures done and off to the printers for Comic Con, then it's back to comic drawing, I promise.

Thanks to everyone for their patience!

*Updates*
Finally we're back in action. Comic Con will be over with this weekend, then it'll be back to drawing the comic regularly. I've also been spending some of my time practicing drawing the human characters I had, as we'll be seeing them again.

As I madly try and finish everything for Comic Con, some paying work came my way this week too. (Which I naturally jumped on and consumed like a starved wolverine)

I feel bad for not updating this week, but I have to finish this artwork as I've worked too hard on it to not get it printed. (I have a Megaman X Zero with his ultimate armor that I did a couple months that I can post tomorrow maybe... when all is said and done I will have them both in the same image)

Thanks for your patience. Once these final images are all finished and happily printed then I don't need to scramble anymore and can go back to happily updating the comic per normal.

P.S - a little known fact, when I was first starting this comic I debated on whether or not I wanted to do a Transformers comic or a Megaman one. Ultimately I chose TF as I liked them more at the time, but my love swings back and forth.

Thursday at the latest. I was working on it tonight but I couldn't finish it. Actually I'll probably have it done tomorrow night but just in case...

As I've mentioned earlier, now is crunch time to get all my stuff finished and printed for Comic Con. I'm actually further along than I thought I would be but there's a few more images I want to complete and I only have about a month left to do it. Updates will still come, just a little bit slower. (As you're seeing this week)

**Update**

All posted! Man, drawing Rumble again (even just face Rumble) was a blast, and drawing Dr.Arkeville after a brief cameo like 3-4 years ago was interesting too. I've been trying to practice some of the other human characters before I bring anyone back... the robots are ok but the people are a real challenge.
