You didn't even say good bye. Jerk. Also, Last Night on Earth is a very cool game, even though you turned it into 28 Minutes Later.

1. CRUSH MY ENEMIES!
2. SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE ME!
3. HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THEIR WOMEN!
4. and eat some pizza without getting heartburn.

Oh yeah, and that Mumah cat, too.

There's no love for Michael Wilson? He's one of my favorites as well.

Brian Manning

Just real quick...and then I'll let you all get back to your discussion... Nice work Elf In fact I'd say you should submit a portfolio to PB as a possible artist for future Robotech books or covers. I agree, you should definitely send some stuff to Palladium. You're already using the cel shading col...

Brian Manning

When does your flight land? Allen and I are arriving at DTW at 5pm on that Thursday, and if you're there around the same time we can give you a lift. We would be heading right to the hotel and then to the VIP night.

Brian Manning

Its probably not a bad idea to send it directly to Kevin. Is that the sketchbook that we drew fairies (aka Atens) in? I'll scribble a little something in there when it makes the rounds. I'll also get my no good, lazy twin to do the same.

Brian Manning

MADMANMIKE,

yes, for several reasons.

Shinitenshi, Yes! I'm dieting the whole month leading up to the Open House, so I can do some serious damage while I'm there.

Brian Manning

Jorel,
Yeah man, I'm always down to talk about some hip hop and RPGs!

mumah wrote:So you'll be there quite early then.

LOL! He is a party animal.

Brian Manning

At the last Open House they put me between the Manning brothers and Nick Bradshaw. I made a comment that I didn't deserve to be there and got THIS response from Nick. btw, by the time we all get there I'll probably have two more covers under my belt. LOL, Bradshaw's response was great. That's how I...

Brian Manning

Holy crap, that's wicked! I thought it was sculpted out of clay when I saw the first image. Also, that Skeletor is sick!

Brian Manning

Even with those large areas that you had to fill in? You have some serious patience. Like Freddie Williams II when he was still using Microns with such black-heavy detailed pieces. Was this tough to do, because it looks like a huge task to commit to.

Brian Manning

Not sure how many Open House attendees got to meet Chuck, but his skill level and humility are way out of wack. He's far too humble to be as good as he is. Allen, Mumah and I are just trying to bring his ego closer to his skill level, so he can finally nail down the amount of work to put in on conve...

Brian Manning

I only have phone camera photos, but man this game looked so awesome. I really wish I could have played in more games this time around.

Brian Manning

I look way too normal in photos. My awesome personality doesn't come through in photographs, I guess.

Brian Manning

Here's my inks on Chuck's first piece. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3862547&id=325723414311 Man you and Allen are crazy for taking that challenge on. What did you use to ink this? Also, I can't believe I forgot to mention all of Shinitenshi's baked goods. Considering I ate a ton of the...

Brian Manning

...Worst pun of the weekend by me unfortunately: In Carmens late nightrune weapon game Amy was a rune hammer who couldnt get to her weilder through a force field. Shes a Hammer- and "She cant touch it!" It was followed by groans and some **** taking that in england weve only just heard of...

Brian Manning

Jorel, Yes, I must teach my boys the "Riddle of Steel"! Dark Elf, LOL, nice use of Baseball. Thanks, we had a lot of fun, and it was great meeting everyone. I'm just glad that you guys didn't see our actual stuck-up pseudo-celebrity personalities. Elly_G, I'm glad that you loved it. I had ...

Brian Manning

LOL, it was more of a Salacious Crumb type laughter.

Brian Manning

Awesome, thanks! It was fun talking to you guys, now I'm contemplating letting my kids watch Total Recall on SyFy.

Actually they watched Terminator 2 and Predator on AMC. Not to mention, Goonies...wow that was much different than I remembered as a kid.

Brian Manning

Memorable moments: I got to do a very memorable character commission. It was a D-Bee that bleeds off extra PPE into boxes that generate random items, and she tells morality tales to kids using a C'thulu hand puppet as the hero of the tales. It was a blast to do. Bradsquatch is teh awesomest. As alw...

Brian Manning

Saturday: More sketches, more trash talking with the other artists, more talking with fans, and more autograph signing. I made Allen ink a couple of commissions before tackling the "Walton", but sometime after lunch, he did a couple of laps around the warehouse as a warmup, and started on...

Brian Manning

Now that I got your attention, you have to read all this boring crap to see what I'm talking about... Thursday: We arrived at the Palladium warehouse after a failed attempt at napping, so I had only been able to grab a couple of hours of sleep, but they were fitful hours of interrupted sleep on the ...

Brian Manning

You were there in spirit. And I brought a piece of the Open House spirit back for you. -Lonnie Yes he was pulling vials of our blood when we weren't looking. I've got a nasty bloodstain on the back of my shirt because apparently he was using a rusty pocket knife and a bendy straw on the back of our...

What?! A Ninjas and Superspies/Dead Reign game?! AWESOME!!

too many jokes here. Move along.

Brian Manning

Just curious as to how personal a feeling it will be. If you want more personal, you can hang out at the freelancers tables, and I can make fun of your mom. As Warwolf mentioned, the fact that everyone there loves Palladium games you've always got something in common with everyone there, so it's re...

Brian Manning

I changed characters like socks. I had a grip of 'em I used to play. But Allen had a Cyberknight that he would play for years (but he hasn't played much, so it's not like he's high level or anything).

Brian Manning

Mine are one from Apollo, and one from a Manning (I'd have to check the sig to know which! D'oh!). This coming year, I hope to pick up one from everybody who's offering them! If it's an inked Manning piece, it's most likely from both of us. But I do remember doing a penciled Wolfen piece for you fo...

Dude awesome idea! I'm sketching that up!

Brian Manning

Crap they're on to us! The only artist capable of creating a comic in the time we post here is Jack "the King" Kirby (and possibly Kevin, but he's busy with other stuff obviously). In the meantime I just sit and stare at possible scripts and think "that would rock."

Brian Manning

I can relate to the first publish deal. They were the first company to publish me too way back in 95. LOL. Great stuff and great to meet you. Mark Dudley Yeah Palladium has a way of giving new talent a shot, and really mentoring us. Most companies just send the assignment/contract, ask for changes,...

Brian Manning

I wanted to walk around and take a good peak at everything first, but by the time I was moving about, I knew I had to set up and get to work on commissions. I wanted to take peak on Brandon’s game, but thought better of it as I didn’t want o distract the GM at his work, but I could see they were ha...

Brian Manning

As always, I had a blast hanging out and talking with you. I always find a lot of motivation to try new things, as well as basic stuff I should have always been doing (like using photo reference), so I was glad to see you when you arrived mid-Friday. Can't wait to come back next year (by then I'm su...

I am really starting to wonder what I got myself into.

Can I be a fan of myself?

Sure you can. I'm my own biggest fan, and so far I have everyone at my work convinced that I got skillz.

dig...I've been waiting for those blueprints for the giant robot. I mean you never know when kaiju are going to show up and cause some serious property damage. We need Tranzor Z (or Mazinger Z to you purists) ASAP.

Brian Manning

Brian Manning

Yeah, but no reference was inlcuded. Unless you sent an email as well. I haven't been able to check it in a couple of days, because I've been running to work early and leaving late.

Brian Manning

You and your buttons... Something tells me if Allen and I brought buttons next year, we'd still struggle against your horde of groupies. Seriously, though from what little I saw of your stuff in the new Nightbane book (on top of all the Dead Reign stuff, obviously), it's no surprise the fans loved y...

Brian Manning

I was stressing because I didn't have my trusty computer to draw an ellipse for me. I just drew a really scratchy wheel in there and Allen fixed it. Thanks for posting this, though. I'm definitely going to bring straight edges and circle/ellipse templates next year. You've taught us all a valuable l...

Brian Manning

Yeah man our table gets less love, because everyone is too busy gaming. It's almost like that's why they're there. It was a lot of fun hanging out and chatting with fans, supporters, freelancers and imaginary friends alike. BTW, Allen and I had to develop our goofy personality because we're so slow ...

Brian Manning

Both Paul (Zembahk pic) and my Wife (Lisa Hayes/the wheelchair heroine pic) are moderators on my PBP site so I'll see about pushing your agenda. Sweet, thanks! The funny thing is, right when I started the sketch for your wife I was about to look up some wheel chair reference and then Lee Carrol (th...

Brian Manning

I woke up (early, because I was still on Eastern Time) yesterday morning in my own bed, and I realized I didn't have to get up to get to the warehouse, and I was a little sad. I've got a few commissions to finish up, and I know it's going to remind me of the people that requested them and I'll proba...

Brian Manning

You did the evil GM one for me; it's already scanned and I'll get it e-mailed today. Everyone I showed it to loved it, and the wife admits it creeps her out, so WIN! It was really nice getting to meet you both. You guys do great work. But I'm curious - what did Kevin say to you on Sunday when he to...

Brian Manning

The Game Master, Benjamins? Everyone was throwing Washingtons. After a while I was getting coin shaped bruising and had to run to the back to cry the pain away. Seriously, though I'm glad you guys liked the artwork. Allen has this OCD-lite issue when it comes to sketching. He doesn't like stopping u...

Brian Manning

Wow, I can't believe you are the only one I've read so far not to mention the snappily-costumed and incredibly sexy (did I also mention brilliant and talented?) woman dressed as Lisa Hayes of Robotech fame! LOL, I didn't want her to get a big head or anything... Like I said, I knew I would forget s...

Brian Manning

Other notes: I had this guy ( CS Soldier Munny ) keeping me company at the table, and many people asked how much I wanted for it, but I felt bad because I brought it to give to Kevin, but I had him at the table to compete with Ashbaugh's setup (matted art AND buttons?). I ended up giving it to Kevin...

Brian Manning

This is going to be as short as I can possibly keep it and still hit all the major points. But seriously...It's going to be too long to read for most, I imagine. But this Open House was a blast, and it was awesome showing up again after not having it last year. VIP Thursday: We show up, walked aroun...
