Actually, you don't know how close I came to a Padmé Tetsuko.  I think you'll be seeing one very soon.

The other two are also great suggestions.  (Every time I see a reference to Ivanova, I think of her great line: "No boom today.  Boom tomorrow.  There's always a boom tomorrow.")

I don't know if I should post this in its own thread, but...

I've done a second TCC for September:


TCC September 2009 - 2

An interesting idea.  Makes me wonder if I could (or should) try to emulate Dan DeCarlo's style...

Last week of July I came down with some sort of minor bug.  It went away after a week or so (with the help of some antibiotics), but it was right during the week I'd usually be working on the August desktop.  And it took me awhile to get back into drawing after that.

An ill-timed bout with some sort of creeping crud derailed the TCC (Tetsuko Cosplay Calendar) desktop for August; and I'll admit I'd given consideration to the thought of discontinuing them althogether.

But I'm glad I didn't, because I have two cool ideas for September TCCs.  The first one is posted already at my deviantART account:


TCC September 2009 - 1

The second one I'll try to finish and post by Sept. 1.  But if I don't... well, there's October... and November... and...

Okay, this is what I get for not visiting here often enough - I miss the debut of a hot new talent!

Well, anyway... a belated welcome to Amaz0ns, Melissa.  From the fact that this post has already generated four pages of replies, you've already collected quite a few fans!  (And I'll count myself among them.)

As soon as I find your deviantART page, I'll put you on my watch list.

My guess is that Baird is being considered for the role of the goddess Sif, Thor's other great love aside from Jane Foster.

As much as I'd like to see Marja, Amanda or Marika in a role in Thor, I think the muscularity of these women would probably overwhelm the physique of whoever plays Thor himself! 

(And if Baird is the producers' idea of "sturdy with muscle", I'd hate to see what their idea of non-buffed is!)

All kidding aside, I've never understood why adding a comment to a long-inactive thread is so evil.  "But - *splutter* - but - it's just not done!" is all the "explanation" I ever get.  (Like wearing white shoes after Labor Day.)
