OMG - Just love all your 'briefing' images dear Rod - Top Work hon!

this Snpwzen dude is all over it.again very much pleasure viewing.PS.Ute won a copy of manga Studio maybe we can get into illustrating a bit our storylines,maybe a new line of work .

Marvelous scenes and fantatic compositions... Outstandingly done my friend !!!

The first image is the best! Placement of characters must have been rough. You are one great graphic artist!!

Keep the episodes coming :)

MAN! That da*ned Snowzem reminds me of a few creeps at the Univ. of Lund who wrecked my career after getting me to Lund from the Univ. of California. Then, when they had seized power at the faculty of medicine, they shut down the anatomy dept. (1995), then terminated all anatomy teaching (1998), then harassed professors I was in research with (pressure tactics to steal their assets if they didn't get rid of me). I was finally fired 2008 due to 1/4 billion crown budget deficit. Punishment? NO - this is Sweden! Promotions! The worst bastard even got a nice position at a US(!) university!

So, I'll be VERY glad to see Snowzem get the shaft!

Oh, just wait. You may be closer than you think.... wink

fun stuff !!! flush the hair ball :)

kudos for you! I noticed the name play for a certain individual. superb writing and illustration

I actually used a picture of a certain "individual" as my model for the morphs - my first feeble attempt with Blacksmith! LOL

This is really something to be admired, Rod. The quality of the rendering just improved 200% from past episodes. You really putting those 64 rams to work buddy. Fantastic work. I am amazed at your talent. Cheers!

Awesome work here! Great morph on the Snowzem character even if he is a piece of excrement. The young Ranpha is really cute and you did a really good job on her expressions. Its good to see the Girls again.

Sweet work on the images; the posing, placement are spot on. but what makes this pag really rock are the expressions - Bloody spot-on!

Excellent work

I applaud the amount of work you are putting in here, Rod (applaud, applaud). I have always loved tongue-in-cheek humor and yours is no exception. Glad to hear your life is getting back to some kind of order with better hours (LOL). I await the next chapter with much anticipation!!!

happy that the gals are back at work, them and Tina had that huge terminator project they finished up. and just a jawdropping page my friend. i so wish i could get all these pages together on a c/d and take it to a print shop and produce a book from it. as always each segement show details and mega hard ork. yep. a great honor for ute, hope too see you on it next year. Rod. crap if i had all the props you have for this great series and talent, i still could not come close to your craftsmenship on this series my friend.i enjoyed this page mega lots and need to find or make great computer screen textures like you have for the gov labs. just don't have the resorces. also love the story on this, so much to mention about this page and series bro. and three words "AWESOME, TALENTED and AMAZING"

Wow - I'm gonna have trouble getting my head through the door, now! LOL

Thanks for the sentiment, buddy, but I doubt it will ever happen (AOY, I mean..) I've rattled too many cages in the forums, and I'm pretty sure the PTB won't let that happen.... But as long as everyone enjoys what I do, I'm happy. :-)

Apply the business end of a drone to Snowzem's butt. Ranpha profits.

Okay maybe not that easily, but the sentiment remains. Great work, Rod.

I don't Know how you find time to do your stories between work and dinner and sleeping, You should try to eliminate one or two of them! But keep the stories coming!

Love the parallels you've made here, and the render as well!!!

COOL!!!!..

Just love this!... now I got to find some way to incorporate this in to my stories... I knew this wouldn't hold Ranpha down for long.. I can't wait to see more of this in the next page. What will happen next? you got me on the edge of my seat imagining all kinds of scenarios of what could happen now. I know one thing, Ranpha would love to get her hands on him, and make him pay... in one of the many ways she knows how!!!

Love the cup Ranpha has there... you need to make it a freebie! I know I'd want it!

Have a good one!

Thanks, Dan! Glad you enjoyed it, bro! I think Snowzem has sealed his own fate... If anyone knows what Ranpha can do it's you, buddy - I don't know how you stay out of the Emergency Room.... LOL

I think that mug is actually in the freebies... I'll see about making some mat poses for it.. :-D

Wonderful work, Great comp and renders!

Another fabulous chapter that really draws me into the story, can't wait for the next chapter. . Fabulous work with all the posing and backgrounds of all these characters too. Such outstanding work and thank you for sharing.

I'm very happy to finally see the girls and hear the rest of Ranpha's story. I'm following the plot closely and am waiting for the next installment. I have to admit, I'm really curious as to the part the stooge aliens are playing in this. Keep the twists and turns coming, love'em. I'm sure everyone is on board with seeing Snowz'em get his comeuppance. No one likes an weasel, let alone and evil weasel. As always, exceptional work on the panels. I'm glad I can open them up to full size to read and take in the little details and, dare I say, some possible Easter eggs? Excellent work.

Hehe... Easter eggs? ME? Naaaaahhhhh.... LOL

I saw and read this this morning, and I gotta tell you, your professionalism in these strips is stunning. Of course everyone first looks at your women, who are done consummately from tip to toe. But it's also the style you get, the flare in their design, their clothes, hair, etc. I mean stylistic flare, not "light flare" (ie, sun flare). And then, it's the difficult art of layout, with so many characters who have to be individual while also being part of a group. Then the layout of the scenes themselves: You manage to get a feeling of space while still getting the cloister of all these people seated around a table, closing in to hear each other. Then the details, which I know you're famous for: The details on the monintor screens, the red keyboard, the red trim on the table and the red lampshade (harmonizing, not to mention with Ranpha's red, etc). Or the cup with "keep calm fly a drone," or the detail on the outfits, jackets, blouses. The nail polish. The highly worked out patterns on Snowzem's computer, or the fascinating design of the entire third frame---it would make a terrific photo of an interior, for its angles, contrasting hues, contrasting shapes, open floor vs all the clutter on the desks, etc. And the way you meld the 4th and 5th frames together (with the classic cameo), or ending on a closeup of Snowzem, as a coda to the whole. Even the textures on the walls and floors, or the lighting variations throughout. As for the tale, you've managed, in 5 frames, to take us through another complete line of action, to a conclusion which leaves us ready for the next installment. (Basic installment story-telling.) And your colors are wholly vivid and as arresting as the women are; and your text---your physical text---doesn't interfere at all, using a semi transparent backing for all the words, with greens for "voice overs". Expertly done; and though I don't know the story from the beginning, I am totally able to follow the impact of this installment, without hitch. I can see why these take you time: Your attention to everything, down to the helixes and boots and clothes patterns, is total; and the overall experience is one of delight. Terrific, Rod. I second Steve's comment---not that I could do what he does (I'm a neanderthal in 3D), but that if I had all the tools at my fingertips, I couldn't produce the easeful work you do in this highly complex, difficult medium. Terrific.

No files? Zombie army? .... NO FILES!? Lol. Cool work, buddy. :)

OMG this is SO AWESOME!!!!! Amazing Work!!!

Always amazed at how you build such incredible detail in your office scenes. They look like totally lived in space. Good job on the young Ranpha, you can tell she is same person but younger.. Great to get the backfill on Ranpha and the start of TNA. It'll be interesting to see how the space aliens, the senator and Snowzem are all tied together.

Outstanding, as usual. :) I love pouring over each frame, looking at the details, trying to figure out what you've hidden in plain sight. And of course the story! It's the perfect mix. :D

Awesome images and story lines!! LUV it!! Nice job Rod!

wow spy vs spy stuff here. cool work

A great new episode! But take care if Rene enters your story. Then "everything" can happen! ;-)

Fabulous story and amazing detail in the render

Great panels and story to o with the scenes. I really understand the fear of losing ones work on PC. Scary:...Love your stile!

Love the whole look and feel of the comic RodS! The TnA gals are terrific too! McG.
