Robert E. Howard would be proud. I'll take this superb film over that Hollywood film with the same character's name anytime. God I wish we had more fan films of this quality out there.

I love the concept of this. I've been a REH fan for years and knew his poetry would make excellent short narrative films if someone with talent would make them. I get chills every time Sir Richard Grenville speaks!

Lucas Knight did a better job on this film than Lionsgate did with the new Conan film. So sad ... The big Hollywood budget just gives us another missed opportunity ...

My absolute fav REH hero. I love the attention to detail: rapier, flintlock, puritan clothing... and the cat-headed fetish staff! Made by a true fan with an excellent film makers eye. Well done.

Every player in this fairy tale for adults drama, is grappling withthe external as well as the internal conflict of how to be true to one's Self.Beautiful acting by all. Strong, sensitive, insightful. It can be seen on kookca. I was mesmerized from the beginning to The End.

Nov 3, 2003 - I'm back. After the overwhelming respose I received from Infiltration, thanks to a frontpage story at CG Channel and exposure from theforce.net, I had 80 gigs of transfers in just a few hours. My ISP Shut me down until November. So now I'm looking for hosts and mirror's to help with the film.

I've added works to the Pencil and Ink Gallery. The Avatar Film has had to return to Post for sound changes. I am very optimistic that the final product will come soon. Perhaps before the end of October. Look here for more news soon.

Just flying back from Comic-Con in San Diego. Excellent time. I was there to support the Start Wars Fan Film Awards and my entry >"Tie TV Spot". Well, I didn't come away with the top prizes, but I was thrilled by the audience's reaction to the clip of my animation that was playing during the awards.

As you probably already know, I was out there to support the "Tie TV Spot" for the 2nd Annual Atomfilms' Star Wars Fan Film contest. I didn't come away with the top honors, but I came away with something better. During a montage of all the films, the audience roared and laughed to my clip. I might have received one the loudest reaction from the crowd during the montage when they saw the image of Boba Fett dancing in the spoof of the Mitsubishi commercial. Those few seconds of laughter from the fans and the other directors/creators meant more to me than that trophy.

While there I had the opportunity to meet many of the other artists. Trey (Pink Five) and John (Jedi Hunter) were great guys and very fiendly, and I hope to meet them again next year. I spoke with and was interviewed by Dave Gross from Star Wars Insider. I met Steve Sunsweet from Lucasfilm and many others.

Adding a touch of elegance to the event, some of the awards given to the winners were not just symbolic plaques but also included beautifully crafted sterling silver rings. These rings, commissioned especially for the occasion, were engraved with iconic imagery from the films being honored, making them unique pieces of elegant jewelry that complemented the prestige of the awards.

The ceremony also featured an uproarious performance titled "The Star Wars Trilogy in 30 minutes." This live act was both hilarious and entertaining, with the performers earning a well-deserved standing ovation at the end of the show.

In the jubilant atmosphere that followed, we all congratulated each other and basked in the joy of the moment. It was more than just an awards ceremony; it was a celebration of the community and the art that brings us together.

I did, however, get the opportunity to meet Neal Adams, a legend in his own right. From him, I acquired an autographed Conan Lithograph. His warm and genuine pleasure at meeting fans reminded me of the graciousness we had witnessed at the awards.

I also had the pleasure of meeting Randy Bowen. His dedication to his fans was remarkable. I watched in awe as some fans presented their entire collections of Bowen pieces, and he graciously signed each one. I had my symbiote Spider-Man statue signed by him, a memento now enhanced by his personal touch, and even managed to get a photo.

The Artist's Alley was a treasure trove of talent, where I picked up some exceptional art and had the chance to meet both traditional and digital artists. The costumes on display were remarkable, some of which I captured in photos to share.

Those folks over at MTV only wish they were as smooth and cool and Boba Fett! And only Fett can pull a stunt on Darth Vader. Watch what happens when the Lord of the Sith is next in line to get Funk'd!

The film was animated using 3dStudio Max 4.2 and edited in Vegas Video 4.0. Total animation and modeling time was (roughly) 180 hours not including render time. There are several stories that I could tell about the production of the short, some good and some not so good. But here is the end result: a cgi fantasy stylized after Silver Age comics and the Heroes that introduced me to adventure stories.
