I just got word of Miyazaki's new film Gedo Senki: Tales of Earthsea. Well, it's more his son's film since it will be his directorial debut. The link is here.
They've gone with adapting another writer's (Ursula K. Le Guin) work again which I'm a bit hesitant about but the trailer looks beautiful and lush. Classic Ghibli style so I am more excited than bummed. It mentions it will be playing in theatre's in Japan this summer. I suppose a North American showing will follow later this year with Torrents available well in advance. Looking forward to it.
I realize I haven't posted much art on here in a while. Here is the new cover to the next installment of BFX which I'm finishing up right now.

In other news, I've finished the MJ issue and I'm currently attacking my new book. Had a short chat with Felipe Smith last night on MSN regarding how he set up a schedule and organized himself. Im attempting to complete a 150+ page book in 2 months so organization is key for me right now. Damn, that reminds me. I still need to pick up a calendar for this year. Something with big squares to write in. My last calendar sucked ass for that!
Anyway, I'll start posting some development art as I finish them.
TAK

Reemo - I wasn't aware that there was a previous incarnation. Live action or animation? Either way, I'm sure this new version will deliver. It's Ghibli afterall.
Ming - Yo! You may have told me and I forgot or something. I'm like that... But, hell yeah, we should def hang when you come down here. It'll be cool to see the Lancinator as well. Sweeeeet!! My CA con is in July so still far faaaar away.
