Testing out the Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5 on a little section of an image from Heathen City 3 by Alectorfencer.
AMAZING.
See how many differences you can discern!
Also, testing out a new blogging app for iPad, so pardon any awkward formatting or obnoxiousness

Sex, Guns and Storytelling
by Alex F. Vance on 16. Mar, 2010 in Articles, Blog, Heathen City, Writing
Sex and violence, like romance and suspense, are just ingredients. Not every meal requires every ingredient you enjoy, and some are actually damaged quite severely by the introduction of ingredients that have no place there.

Today’s the day, vainglorious bastards.
Hundreds of copies of Heathen City Vol. 2 “Paved With Bad Intentions” are on their way to Pittsburgh for release at Anthrocon via treacherous and circuitous routes. The brave boys of FurPlanet charge through the wilderness of the Mexican/Canadian Neutral Zone toward the Pit of Burghs or whatever.
Since the Powers […]

Folks,
Krahnos, Vahn, Blue_Panther and I got together with Fuzzwolf from Knotcast over Skype to record an open-heart roundtable about the production of Heathen City #2. Artistic insights, puerile joking, and some serious philosophizing ensued for an hour and a half. Check it out here:

I’m surprisingly proud to announce that Heathen City has been nominated for the Ursa Major Awards, in the category Best Comic Book. While the Ursa Majors aren’t in the same league as the Huga or Nebula in sci-fi or the Eisners and Angoulêmes for comics — it’s still pretty fucking cool.
Not […]

So, you know how international distribution is this complex process of haggling and negotiation?
Apparently not when you’re swinging a big juicy book like Heathen City around. I contacted United Publications in the UK to ask whether they’d be interested in distributing Heathen City on their isles, and what I expected to be a long-drawn-out period […]

Fan Art!
by Alex F. Vance on 16. Oct, 2007 in Heathen City
Time to boast, time to gloat!
Heathen City has proven to be quite popular, despite, you know, not actually being available yet.
The sublime ArtDecade has decided to show his enthusiasm for the project by setting his ink brush on fire and producing this:
I dig his stuff immensely. He has two comics available at FurPlanet, two […]
