"Thrunk" test render
(testing out the glow effect -I could maybe have been a little less subtle in animating the variations of it. There's stretching at the neck...could maybe reanimate the head portion or frame it so we don't see above his upper waist which is how the panel is framed in the comic.)

T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #2 cover by Cerebus creator Dave Sim. In stores today

Dave Sim "Dr Who" Heritage Art Auction: Bidding Ends: Sunday, 22 September 2013
http://momentofcerebus.blogspot.com/2013/09/auction-dr-who-prisoners-of-time-6.html

Dave Sim's kickstarter before kickstarter! Jeff Smith, creator of "Bone": "One thing I remember doing was sort of like a primitive Kickstarter. Dave Sim said, “You should do a print, a really nice print, just 100 of them, and sell them for $100 each, and it’d be a way to get a little seed money.” And I did that, and I sold them fairly quickly! That was like $10,000 right there, and was incredibly helpful and useful."
http://www.newsarama.com/18952-spx-spotlight-bone-creator-jeff-smith-talks-about-his-life-in-independent-comics.html

Article about genres/labels/definitions. "Dave Sim, a well-known comic creator, wrote a story in prose, but sold it in comics shops, so it was treated as a comic."

What Music! What Medallions Simulation!

From Georgina Leahy:
I had sooooo much fun recording this for upcoming Cerebus Movie :)
I love Werewolf Heart Records and you will see why :) The coolest studio ever :)
Chris Mullings aka TerribleFolly wrote and recorded and produced this track!!!!! He is a genius :)
Cant wait for the film to come out :) I am a new Comic book geek :)
Suddenly become obsessed and Cerebus is amazing, so witty, so dirty, so dark and comedic :)
The film is still in production but you can keep up with its progress.
Buy my latest track 'Kicks' on itunes now: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/kicks-single/id679382102

Here's the song still need to put a more polished video together:)

John Layman, creator of the comic Chew (also being made into an animated film): "Cerebus #158, page 4. I stalked Dave on 3 Tour ‘92 stops for many pages, even slept on the side of a road because I could not afford both motel and a page." http://themightylayman.tumblr.com/image/56611142503

Medallions/Vest SetUp script/code progress by Nick Wolensky
nicholas.wolensky@gmail.com
The SetUp (Or the jewel in the crown, one could say:)) by Nick easily automates simulations of both the Medallions (hanging around Cerebus' neck) and the Vest he is wearing and their interaction with one another. In most cases no matter if the Cerebus rig is imported or referenced, wether it's an older version of the rig or a newer one -and wether the rig has been scaled up or down.
