Hey, listen! Did you know? CU has an artwork RSS Feed. It gives you tips for every new update here, and that means you don't have to get them from me!

Up close and personal with our moon
Posted by David on May 9, 2012
I hope you had a clear line of sight for the perigee moon (or supermoon) over the weekend, it really had its high-beams turned up. If you missed it like I usually do, I offer you a second chance via this photo I took just before midnight on Saturday.
130 illustrations for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited
Posted by David on April 19, 2012
A friend brought this to my attention and it's well worth sharing. A fan at NeoGAF has amassed a near-complete collection of artwork for every Tekken Tag Tournament 2 character illustrated by artists Tomio Fujisawa, JUNNY, and Shunya Yamashita for the Unlimited arcade version. The art comes from a lottery game featured on the Japanese Tekken-NET website that allows you to win the pieces and enter them into the character select screen.
Most of the images are pretty small, but worth the look. You can see them via the original thread. Or, CrunchyRoll has posted them all on one page.
A note of thanks

Another round of thanks goes to Oregu of website Front Mission Zaftra for providing the scans for today's Front Mission 2 gallery update. Most of the scans come from the Front Mission 2 Guide Book and the Front Mission 2 Official Players Guide.
Google Friend Connect disconnects

Google Friend Connect is being retired for all non-Blogger sites today as it did not live up to Google's expectations. In the future, visitor comments that would have normally been posted on our home page can be posted on our Facebook page instead. Thanks
Introducing CU's wild sibling
Posted by David on February 7, 2012
Today I am launching a new website that I've been working on for some months now. Since it will inevitably result is less updates to CU over time, it's best I explain where my time is going. Wild Retina is the result of a new direction I took a couple years ago. In May of 2010 I bought a DSLR and began selling stock photography a few months later. Maybe it's all the RPG's I've played, but I have always had a desire to explore more of the world. Photography is the perfect occupational compliment to that pursuit, and it allows me to use things I've already learned as an artist.
Through Wild Retina I will be sharing my developments in photography as I work towards a goal of traveling more in the not-so-distant future. Just like CU, all my pictures will be free to share and void of watermarks. I've also written some guides to help others learn how to sell stock photos the same way I do. They are written from a photography perspective, but the process is largely the same for selling digital art or vectors. If you have patience, time, and skill, it can be a realistic ticket to self-employment in a world where being discovered as an artist can be difficult. If you have questions, I'm happy to answer. Thanks for reading!
