Ok, getting Cyantian.net upgraded, then I’m going to hit Aliendice.com and get them all done. I did get news on my tablet. HP has it and it’s in repair status.

Someone emailed me about this … and that email was taken out by the laptop so here are the current cameos I have listed to be done. If your name is NOT on the list, please respond here or email me, preferably respond here.

The above will be seen at some point in the future.
And while my tablet is down, I’m going to go right now and backup all the sites and prepare for site upgrade. I might as well since I’m not sure how quickly I’m going to be back to work. I’m hoping to pick up new software soon – preferably Painter 11 in full ($320) – but if not, I’ll settle with Painter Essentials ($75). (Painter Essentials is the program I was using for inking and shading hair and fur – photoshop is incapable of mimicing that method. I tried repeatedly. :/ It came free with my tablet pc – which means I ca’t install it on the desktop. (I should’ve written down its serial number – d’uh – nice time to think of that NOW. )) I make that descision on Tuesday. If you missed it, the Store has been opened and I may put books back in it if you want them. The war also ends in 4 days!
I’m making sure this is plastered everywhere so I don’t get the usual questions of what’s going on … even though it’s on the pages repeatedly.
No story updates next week – due to the following that occurred over the weekend. I am GOING to try to get artwork up that is already inked.
I was a bit caught up in the whole, What is wrong with my computer, it won’t turn on! panic. A lot of time was spent on that, getting HP to connect my account to my replacement plan (I had a two year one just in case of such a situation.) I got the tablet sent off yesterday afternoon and it’ll be in their hands tomorrow, which means on Monday they SHOULD start working on it and sometime during the following week it should come back to me … and with luck.. three Mondays from now I’ll have my tablet back.. with luck.
Now, the big issue is that the software I ink on is ON the tablet. It came with it so I can’t install it on my desktop. I have, btw, gone through trying to ink in Photoshop – slooow, unnatural, Flash – smooth, but clunky and Manga Studio EX 3 – not sensitive enough to ink properly, which is apparently a common problem. (I use Painter Essentials to ink… not even an expensive program, can get it for $40, but I intend to get the full Painter 11 at some point and nowhere around here has it for that.) Sooo, I opted to upgrade to Manga Studio EX 4 – which has improved to the ‘right’ feel for inking. Sadly, their order form is annoying. I wanted a physical copy AND a digital download so I could get it and use it immediately. I ordered the physical upgrade and EXPECTED that there would be a link to a digital copy, because anytime I’ve ordered software from anywhere else, you go in and order and you get that option.
Apparently I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right. 9.9 I chose the wrong selection and have had a lovely runaround from their so called ’support’ which ended in: Most people who order a physical copy don’t want a digital copy.
I am not pleased.
I hope they ship it in time for my next round of inking. I tried to ink pages by hand, but I do not have the proper supplies after inking on the computer for so long. It’s going to show in next week’s Alien Dice.
Just realized that this page was missing. We have a new war this month! When you donate, be sure to note your favorite characters and costumes you’d like to see them wear. These are two separate things. 
The costume will not necessarily end up on the character you want it to. The top requested character and costume will be matched up together at the end of the month into a wallpaper if $500 is reached!
