Just wanted to point out, virtually without warning, that our first dicktastic attempt at a podcast will be recorded tomorrow night.

Some of you may remember that we were attempting some pretty bold art direction with our physical shop. We finally got a new artist who didn’t have his legalized pot and could thus do more than five minutes of work before complaining of his arthritis and using our bathroom to smoke something bought from an asshole who calls himself Chef Wolfie.

Here’s what we did today. First up, the floor, glowing under the blacklight fixtures.

Hard to see with the PSP camera seemingly deteriorating in quality. We’ll get a friend with a better camera and too much spare time to take some better pictures.

But also… the wall!

Pencils, then inked outlines, acrylic base, and finally some fluorescent paint to make the details glow. That’s the plan, at least.

This is all the acrylic we cared to apply because some jerk named Vance forgot to buy the fine brushes. Also note that the original plan was to have Ken aiming more toward the background for a 3D effect, which didn’t happen. We need to fix his hair so it looks like Mai isn’t fighting a really buff Shaggy.

I appreciate the fact that Zekie’s art style looks more like Don Bluth than animu clone #5,103,749,026. I shouldn’t want to be able to fuck my own wall.

Oh yeah. We started getting arcade cabinets. Still waiting on Marvel vs Capcom 2.

The cabinet on the left contains a pretty bootleg 100 SNK titles, inclusing some “plus” variant repeats, and the Third Strike machine on the right gives two credits per quarter on the left slot… to be fixed next week, but right now we’re calling it a promotion.
