First and foremost his name is Ethen not Ethan, pronounced 'eh-thin, not 'E-thin (no long E)

What's up people, haven't seen you in a while. Yeah, I should update more often, but life's kinda taken a hold of me recently. Entire site was overhauled. Plenty new images added to 2DCG, small update in Junk, and a Let's Play page added. I'll try to update more often, but I just don't have the time/passion to shade many images anymore, so it'll probably just be colored.

Update: 8/24/08
Three new pictures up on the 2DCG page, and two new images on the FFXI other page. I've been really busy lately, and have been drawing a lot, but not coloring, so didn't want to put it up. I've been coloring a lot more recently, so with luck more pictures should be up soon.

Update: 3/18/08
