I've been posting more on my capsulezone site since I find myself not wanting to talk about much online these days and just posting artworks is good enough for me.But what prompted me to post is a book that I really, really enjoyed and like to recommend to everyone.

Antonella Caputo and Reno Maniquis's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is everything you could want for an adaptation of the classic story.

It's been a while since I've updated this blog, no? But anyway, I'd like to share the initial costume redesigns I did for the recent version of Captain Barbell. Here we go...
Among the four costumes shown here, this is my favorite. I went back to the colors most associated with Cap, but made the blue darker.

It got me wondering... Why do all shows about ancient Rome (and even the new series The Borgias, set in Italy) utilize British accents? It's kind of silly, right? Shouldn't they be speaking with Italian accents? :)Renohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13706715472542842560noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580376.post-57013079729305634162011-05-05T08:11:00.002+08:002011-05-05T08:21:32.784+08:00Metro Comic Con 2011 starts this Saturday, May 7 at the Megatrade Hall 2 at SM Megamall.

I'm still a bit nervous, truth be told. The first day wasn't a complete disaster, I just had a hard time having the kids open up and tell me about the stuff they like.
