There's a Harry Potter exhibit at the museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and it's absolutely AMAZING. All these props from the movies! The only bad thing is that you weren't allowed to take pictures inside the exhibit, so the only thing I got pictures of was the Weasleys' car, which is located outside the main exhibit, so pictures could be taken of it.

There was a small sorting that took place before you entered the exhibit, but I didn't do it because I already know which House I'm in. I think it was controlled, though, because the only person who didn't get the House they said was their favorite was a girl who didn't have a favorite House. (There ended up being a Hufflepuff, two Gryffindors, a Ravenclaw, and a Slytherin).

The props and costumes were really cool! We got to see Hogwarts Express, the Gryffindor common room, ingredients and cauldrons from Snape's classroom, Professor Umbridge's kitten plates, and the Divination Crystal balls, to name a few. We got to see some of the magical creatures, too-Mandrakes, Buckbeak, a young Threstral, two centuars, the Hungarian Horntail, Fawkes, and a Dementor. There were also two copies of the Monster Book of Monsters.

In Hagrid's Hut, we could sit in his chair. I didn't notice much of a difference between that in a real chair since I'm so short .

And I was FINALLY able to get my hands on some Ravenclaw merchandise. It's so hard to find stuff for my House-everything's either Gryffindor or Slytherin. But I was able to snag a Ravenclaw keychain.

Oh, and the Wizard's Chess pieces are HUGE.

In the meantime, Photoshop's not happening, but I've got GIMP, which is almost as good. So I plan on churning out some completed art soon. Like some of my PMD2 doujin, for instance.

Cheers.

Art Usage Rules Are Here: [link]

My location map project for DOT is coming along swimmingly...Two maps are nearing completion; check out their WIP status in my Scraps gallery.

The remaining LOP Promo Card Sets have been scrapped. I've begun work on the normal set instead. The set is pretty big, consisting of 328 cards-69 rare holos, 12 rares (PKMN), 94 uncommons (PKMN), 103 commons (PKMN), 13 rare trainers, 22 uncommon trainers, and 15 common trainers. Yep, it's a big set. I was going to split it into smaller sets but decided against it. How will the cards be used? Are there special rules? You'll have to wait and find out!

The layouts of the next nine pages of my Mystery Dungeon comic are finished. I'll start working on the finals soon, but first I want to work on the first few pages of the first chapter of my Dungeon 2 comic adaptation. The cover,pages one and two for Time-layouts in progress.

I am working on the layouts for my DP Pokemon Comic. It will be done in a similar style to the Pokemon Special (Adventures here in the US) manga. It's coming, but not for a while. My Mystery Dungeon Comics (Blue and Time) have priority. I'm going to do a short Platinum storyline as well, based on Cyrus's speech about the "evils" of spirit.

I'm also working on a short comic about the escapades of some of my Pokemon characters. The first one-Buizel's Girlfriend, is coming soon.

More Posters are on the way-The DOT poster v2 in my scraps has been scrapped. A new poster design that is 100x more epic is coming instead. I'm working on the layout now.

The Hand-Drawn map of the Termina Region is being revamped to match the DP Termina In-Game map. It is also being broken down into five individual maps, so more detail in each location of the region (cities, mountains, etc.) can be drawn. Keep an eye out for the first map-Tropican Town through Mt. Ashfire-the scrap is up; the colored one will come eventually.

Some more Fakemon are coming soon, including Attipom's official Dex page, and two new ones!

Also, due to "technical difficulties" (namely the loss of the flash drive that contains the chapter outlines) Digimon: Freedom Fighters has been delayed indefinitely. The first few chapters might be posted, but don't expect new ones until the flash drive is found. In the meantime, I'll be scrapping together some more DigiDex entries. For full info on my Digidex Project, go here: [link]

I'm working hard on the second chapter of DOT, the first chapter of LOP, and a new TP Link/Midna oneshot called Ice and Fire. Watch for them!

I'm toying around with the possibility of creating an A Bug's Life sequel comic. There's a lot of ideas I have for what could happen in the year following the end of the movie, and I'd like to combine them together for a detailed storyline. I'm not sure about this yet, but I really want to do it; even if I don't make it a full-fledged comic, I'll at least do character bios and a story synopsis, so keep watch for it.
