To anyone who might have seen the most recent submission to my gallery, you'll know the story of the origin of that picture. For the rest of you, I'll recap it here a bit:

Over on the ultimate Dragonball fansite, Daizenshuu EX [link] , they have a podcast that they record every week. On last weeks episode, # 152, they were talking about the name puns in Dragonball and eventually came up with the silly idea of what it would look like if two VERY different characters, Appule and Paragus, were to fuse together. So, seeing this as the perfect challenge, I threw together a little picture of what that end result might look like. Enter: Appuragas!

Once the picture was finished, I sent it over to the fine folks at the site. I was hoping that they would get a kick out of it...and they did! Needless to say, I was completely shocked to go to their site the other day only to see MY ARTWORK ON THEIR FRONT PAGE! And, to top it all off, they were nice enough to link the picture there to my DeviantArt page. Do they rock or what?!?

So, I would just like to thank Mike, Meri, Julian, and especially Jeff (since it was his idea), for being my muses and for enjoying my artwork enough to grace their front page with it. You guys (and gal) are awesome. I would also like to thank all the people who have fav'd the picture due to its appearance on Daizenshuu EX's site. I will be sure to update my page more frequently in order to keep all of you entertained.

UPDATE: So, I've listened to Daizenshuu EX's most recent podcast now; episode # 153 [link] , be exact. I am SO tickled pink right now. The gang on the podcast were so amazingly complimentary of my piece it has had me giggling all day. Definitely give them a listen, even if it's just to hear the beginning part of them talking about my artwork. Of course, I recommend listening to the entire thing...and all transmissions they make from here on out.

Thanks SO much to Mike, Meri, Herms, and Hujio for all of your wonderful compliments. You're all just too nice.

Until next time!
