Ah, Agent X emerges. Is there more to share about her? I think I'd like to have her on MY side and not as an adversary, she looks lethal.
Will we see some excerpts of your comic? If you release your story, of course, you'll have to make Agent X's chest MUCH larger to be accepted by the mainstream, haha. (Don't do it!)

Heh, thanks! Well, I briefly explained some of her background in Da but I can tell more if you´re interested. She works for the -still unnamed too- Secret service of the Western League (a coalition formed by what remains of Europe and USA after a long war) in year 3566. Hundred of years ago most religions were banned and persecuted under the ruling of some human created AI who raised themselves to the status of gods through deception, but some of those organizations keep fighting the new order with terrorist attacks. Plus, there´s the Venusians, another human society which plainly reject any kind of gods, practices the space piracy and smuggling an often give support to such terrorists -although not all of them support this-. However, its not a good vs bad guys story, every faction have their shades of grey. All this might sound crazy but I even created a chronology with all the events that occured from XXI century, to make this stuff fit and seem somewhat credible. She´s 5,5 feet tall, natural ginger, expert with short ranged guns and moderately good in martial arts. Not married but I wouldn´t get close to her as she have quite a character....  Theres 4 major characters more and my intention is illustrate them all, but I´m afraid this lady would be the most visually compelling ... Its not a comic though! it began like a short tale and its slowly becoming a "novel" (I´m close to one hundred pages). I wish I had the skill and patience to do a comic version...there´s a lot of things I need to get better with to even consider start one, at least by myself. I might be able to convince some friend of mine which is a real good comic artist for some sort of collaboration....but that would be in the long term. |

This is a sketch from a series I´m doing about the daily life (fighting, preening...mating, etc) of dinosaur couples. So far I made this one and two fighting Achillobator, which needs a bit more work.. Provisionally called: "Love" in the time of Chasmosaurus (Hope Marc/Horridus can appreciate it  )  Uploaded with ImageShack.us |

I guess lemon curd just doesn't sell as well as sex, huh. Looking forward to seeing it finished, Josep! |

Well I really appreciate that sir! Not like its going to look remotely as good as Himmapan stuff... And yes, I can´t figure out how to visually express love between dinosaurs other than...this. ;D Its about 70% done, just need a couple of hours to finish the coloring, details....:  |

I was being silly, Josep, please pay no attention. ;D
But your work can rival anybody's any day and most certainly mine! And this piece is truly gorgeous. I love their colour. There's something highly appealing about blue ceratopsian frills, isn't there?

Indeed! We need more blue horned faces. Here it worked surprisingly well -or better than I expected-, although initially I was going for something red/white/yellow for the frills, but then I remembered how well blue and green looked on that poor Stegoceras. And there´s too many black/red ones out there. By the way...its finished!  |

This is the next sketch I´m working on, an Achillobator couple having an arguement (Mr. Achi is sleeping on the couch tonight)  |

Yeah, I like how the male came out. I feel like Mrs. Achi need a bit more work around the snout though.
Oh, I´ll take my time with this one....

Just to show you the colors, this is what I´ve done so far. Maybe tomorrow I´ll manage to finish it....  And this morning I sketched this (I´ll let you figure it out ;D):  |

I don't know which to sympathize with..the male for having a mate with mutton chops or the female for being paired with Sasquatch.. lol
Gotta love hairy pterosaurs ! ;D

Well, both genres have beards (like in dwarfs..  )! you just can´t see the male one behind the females head. This initially was going to be a Tupandactylus couple, but I like Thalassodromeus head shape more. I will probably make a Tupan solo picture eventually. How should I call this? I´m between "hot fuzz" and "fuzzy love". |
