A new year, a new artist.

The new year has begun with a bang!

Though no, there's no new artist on the RPD bandwagon. There is, however, a flipping sweet guest page! Done by a wonderful friend of mine, Nancy, it is the official cover page for Episode Two of Robo Pope Digital: Hero ConCarnage! She's one half of the creative force behind O31: October Thirty-First, one of my favorite webcomics. It is currently on hiatus, but I've been assured it will come back, bigger and better than ever in the future.

Now, I realize this guest page looks tremendously better than anything I've ever put out... And that probably won't change. Nancy is a life-long artist who is infinitely better than I currently am. Proud I may be of my artwork and the progress I've made in illustrating Robo Pope over the years, she's proved time and time again that she knows exactly what she's doing when she has a pen in her hand. She's been generous enough to give me tips, advice, and other help when it comes to my artwork, so I've always appreciated her friendship and opinion.

I also appreciate this amazing cover page she pulled together in her spare time, which is a pretty amazing work of comic book fantasy. I bet a lot of you readers wish she would do this whole comic and relieve you of my artwork, but I'm afraid she has a comic of her own to develop. So you're all stuck with me! Ha!

There's a lot more to talk about on the way, but I'll leave it for another update as we dig deeper into Episode Two. Look forward to it, everyone, and be here next Friday!

EDIT: Nearly forgot the vote pages. Buzzcomix has a bit of character art inspired by the radical FPS game Team Fortress 2 while Topwebcomics shows the clean-up effort after Robo Pope toppled that monstrous monster. Check them out, people.
