Antithesis sent along a bunch of pics of new models he’s been making – we’ve added them to his gallery here. Some are a month or so old, but the last few are brand-spankin-new. Start here, and step through to the end. The man’s amazing. (And… with t…

Two comic updates showed up in my RSS feed. Hawty McBloggy’s got DeepCee’s latest episode of the Chronicles of ODS Steve (#83, Trouble in Space) – the crew gets out of trouble in a safe way (and the strip finds itself a new home). And over at Halo Act…
