Oooooh dear. I seem to have finished the Year7 Celebratory Pic far, FAR sooner than I expected...I mean it was going to be done sooner than the actual anniversary anyway considering that said date is the day after Christmas, BUT! 'EY

So, another year of my presence has gone by. But most of my attention is now based on Fetch Quest these days. What do I have to celebrate besides my existence? Well, I wouldn't so much call this a celebration of days gone by, but the new beginning of years to come.

Take this pic for instance. Rocking the new designs they've been saddled with for a few years now, we have the Rogues Gallery (Yeah, Rogues. Turns out, just like my misspelling of the word, I've been doing it wrong all these years. You're not supposed to have the apostrophe, but I digress). Nala, Kitty, Big Nasty, Destiny, Fayte, Jorge...but who's that other girl with them, we've never seen her before, right? And what's with the logo slightly visible in the background?

Well, lemme spin you a yarn, my friends. See, back around mid 2005, I've been silently working on coming up with a story that the Rogues can call their own. You may have heard me go on about it under the public term of a 'new canon'. It was something I had been doing in the hopes of perhaps getting it published once I've honed my craft to an acceptable level that would warrant such. These days, I've made so much regarding this new canon that I had even begun creating concept and completed art for it, only showing it to a few choice friends of mine. Not a LOT of it, but still, it's something. But while I was doing this, I was pretty much leaving you all with nothing but my work on Fetch Quest and the occasional commission.

I didn't intend to post anything related to the new canon publicly because I wanted to keep the ideas fresh for whenever it did get published. But over time, I realized that I was thinking too highly of myself. Who's to say this work of mine would even be worth a label's time of day? And really, I don't feel doing something isn't worth it if I can't show anyone. So I decided that from now on, I would share whatever I deemed appropriate regarding this new canon. And what better time to make that decision that the seven year anniversary of my online existence, eh?

I just want to get one thing clear, though. I am NOT...NOT...NOT making this into a webcomic. Sharing concepts, introducing some new faces created for the project, getting reacquainted with the ones you know, that's my game here. That being said, I hope you all like what you see and welcome you to the age...of Rogue Neo.

Looks interesting, I'll admit that for a few years I've been out of sync with the web comic/web art going ons (WoW, college and work are to blame) so this is the first I've heard of a new canon. I take it it'll be just the Rogues and not have any anime characters turn up (like InuYasha, The Oh My Goddess girls, etc)?
