Very nice! (faves)

Thank you. Could you show it to the man himself?

Done and did!

What do they think?

No idea. Just sent the link on his comic two minutes ago.

Ok. Let me know when they respond.

Nice!

Thank you.

Not too shabby!

Thank you. I will have to commission you to draw this character next month.

‘Aces and Eights’... He fancy himself a modern day Wild Bill Hickok?

Perhaps.

Hey, that's great! I'm pleasantly surprised to find that the "Empires" story still resonates with a lot of folks even after all these years! I'm glad you not only enjoy it, but are motivated to add some great art to the world too!

You are welcome. Are you by chance the creator of Empires?

Yeah, it's me-- the account above, "SGT_Shaddock" is me also but I decided to just make an account with my name.
I'm glad you like the comic! How on Earth did you find "Empires" after all these years? I thought it was largely forgotten.

I found it via this. https://store.jarlidium.com/collect...../complete-yarf

I cannot wait for Jarlidium Press to start printing Volume Five so I can read more of the story as Volumes 1 through 4 only cover Issues 0 through 20 of YARF!. Sadly it will be some years before I am able to read the entire story. But, another military comic series from the 1990s that I love is the collective Families of Altered Wars comics by Ted Nomura (Luftwaffe 1946, Tigers of Terra, etc...).

FYI, I was able to purchase Volume 1 and Volume 2 of Iriesii Manifest this month via eBay.

Is there any chance of you loading any of your "Empires" art to Fur Affinity?

Hey, what up?
Glad to hear folks out there are still interested. I'm actually planning on reprinting my trade paperback collections sometime soon, with some commentary pages added and new color covers and the like. Otherwise it'll be faithful to the original.

I might start posting some stuff here, gods know I have tons and tons of art from that era. A lot of developmental art from a project that never materialized and some other ideas I toyed with. But the truth is, right now my original "Empires" chapters are all being used at Patreon for subscribers. I'm hoping to generate some income for current projects, the book reprints, and some more future projects (including an Empires reboot).

I've also got stuff from the failed "Empitres: Thunderhead" that ran once in Furrlough, as well as the "Empires: Borderline" that went from Mythagoras to Huzzah before I finally threw in the towel.

Here's the Patreon if you're interested: https://www.patreon.com/Coyote
And here's my current project, a comedy interp of my deployment to Iraq: https://www.bohicablues.com/ (non-furry).
I have a lot of stuff coming, I started doing comics again just a few years ago and am now hoping to ramp up a bunch of new projects.

I am excited to see what you post and I will buy the reprinted trade paperbacks for sure. Also, other stories of the Golden Age of the furry fandom are making a comeback. For example, there is now a miniature game being made for Erma Felna EDF/Albedo.

Also, I will join your Patreon.

And I just joined at the Platoon Sergeant level.
