Okay, I have over half of my new comic finished, so I may as well comment a bit on it.

"Meeting Vlad" is the title of my latest comic project: a 17-page story regarding Vladimir Milcheckzehn (center), Boris Van Helsing (right) and inkeeper and barmaid Gretchen (left).

The story revolves around Boris looking for Vlad in order to claim a family debt. Of course Boris Van Helsing is a shout-out to the monster hunting Van Helsing fiction family. Gretchen is a perpetually-annoyed woman from whom you better don't get in the way, or she will kick your rear good-bye, as Vlad knows quite well.

As for Vlad... well, if you've seen my previous pics of him then you'll have a pretty accurate idea of what to expect from him in this comic.

I have to finish this comic by next December 15th, the deadline for the comic contest I'm wanting to participate. So far I'm staying on schedule. Let's see how it turns out, eh?
