Even if the Chairman of the Board was still alive, I doubt Frank Sinatra would have called 2011 a very good year when it came to the Plightsite. Over the course of twelve months there was a whopping total of eight updates. Eight. Two of those didn't even feature artwork from me! Sure, we had our share of bad years but well... this one certainly took the cake. However none of it was anyone's fault when all was said and done.
True, there were no updates since August but it didn't mean I wasn't drawing in one form or another. If I wasn't offering my coloring services to help out some friends, I was sketching little pieces here and there. Over the course of the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of those sketches I drew during my "break" in these ramblings; sketches that ranged from the Fairly Oddparents which you see above to "Game of Thrones", McDonalds, "Creepshow 2", and an obsure Masters of the Universe villain. The second half of last year's Summer Blockbuster Gallery will also be starting up again shortly with "Green Lantern" as well the debut of a 6-page comic entitled "Reverie" which takes place in the Plight universe yet doesn't feature any of the characters.
Perhaps the biggest thing you'll be seeing in the next few months though is change. Change in the frequency of updates, change in the material itself from character designs to 'revisions' of a story I've taken almost two decades to get off my lazy ass to draw. There's even going to be change in the format and look of this very website that I guarantee by the time May comes around everything will be different. Basically nothing is safe. Nothing. So believe it when I said Erik's boxers getting destroyed was just the beginning.
But enough hyperbole - today's update is the first of three "Guest Artists" entries I still have yet to debut. This time around it's a new name to the ever-growing list, "Rantz", whose work has graced the pages of Top Cow Comics and Bluewater to name a few. It was a thrill to see him do up a sketch of Kari and I hope you all like it.
Next time we finally, finally, FINALLY see our take on Ryan Reynold as DC Comic's Emerald Knight. So until then, have a safe and happy new year. See you all in 2012! - Jake

To everyone here to all of you out there, we hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday season. We'll see you back here in 7 days when we start 2012 off right (and if the above picture doesn't give you a hint, things are going to be stirring up.) - Jake
