I am in a biology class this semester, and we are required to do a final project. After much discussion with the instructor, and some preliminary research, I have decided to do a small website devoted to conceptual bioforms on Europa, which is the sixth moon of Jupiter, for those who are not aware.
I will be using real biology and will be attempting to create plausible life forms given some criteria.
My criteria: First, Europa has a warm-water ocean below the ice-surface. Second, Europa has a solid planetary core with geothermic activity. Third, life forms will be carbon-based. Lastly, these life forms must make sense, and must work within the environment in which they are placed.
I am not aware yet how complex Europan life will be, but I know that I will not be creating humanoid creatures. These are wild animals, as beautiful and diverse as those on Earth.
A panel I’ve been working on today. Mara looks so tough. 
Comics are coming along well, hoping to post the next story in the coming months.
Working on the new version of the website till the wee hours of the morn’, I decided to take a screenshot of the current working version of the main page.
Please remember that pages for the episodes will be custom-fit to the content of that episode. Think of the main page as more of a DVD-menu.
Opinions and suggestions are always welcome. Is it a little plain, or is less more in this case?
Coming together finally. So here is a panel.
That’s it, Dash. You tell them.
Random bit of fiction I started. Read it below the cut, as it has swear words. O:
Pro-Tip: Swear words make you a good writer.

I need to use this thing more frequently. So, here we go.
In the realm of my comics, there is progress, I’ve penciled a few pages and am heavily into the inks on one of them. That page having been revised once. No pressure to finish it right away affords me chances to really play with the style, format, and shots. I think the results will be pleasing. Before I release the story however, I’ll have to overhaul the website a bit, but that’ll be a blast.
Educationally, my finals are next week. It’s the standard song and dance, the major advantage here is that the next semester does not start until late January, so that gives me a lot of time to work.
In other news, I’ve been using Google Wave. It’s very fun. If anyone is looking for an invite, just drop me a line, and I’ll see what I can do. 
I FINALLY GOT MY TUNDRA MAMMOTH.
That very same night, I finally assembled Jeeves for Staedtler. I have no shots of that though.
I love that Mammoth.
Also, here is a random screencap of Blarac’s first steps into the Borean Tundra.
Just a test run with a couple in the next pack. I am thinking these should be fairly useful.
