Sorry, not other parts. Previous stories and I enjoyed both immensely.

Dude! Thanks for the link! My compy got smacked with a virus recently and I lost a lot of stuff from My Documents, including the last few images of the story! Now I don't have to go searching through all the forum posts to find 'em!

Its been a year since the last installment, how scary is that.

No pressure, just shocked at how fast the year went!!!

**gbagok** · January 15, 2009, 07:51pm

A year?!?!?! Oh man, this one is my greatest shame! I have to finish it! Here's some more teasers though!

**Neo** · January 15, 2009, 07:53pm

These look awesome. I would love to see this animated.

**super-munkyboy** · January 15, 2009, 08:48pm

LOL sorry GBAGOK, like I said no pressure. Life comes first!!!

Having said, they all look awesome and Hisss looks cool in his original garb!!!

Green Goddess sketch though... WOW!! I wanna print for my house... if the wife lets me

**j-bird** · January 16, 2009, 03:09am

**2-bad** · January 16, 2009, 03:26am

**Cheshire Moon** · January 16, 2009, 04:54am

Holy Cowbag! My brain is exploding; awesome teaser - How can it be that so much coolness is yet to come?

Oh there is soooooo much more to come! BOE boasts the most amount of images ever!

**Cheshire Moon** · January 16, 2009, 06:48am

I've decided it's just plain cruel to tease us after a year.

I can't wait to see what is coming.

That Teela/Green Goddess drawing is amazing! And He-Ro and and andandand...

**Baena** · January 16, 2009, 11:12am

Oh yeah, I'm lovin' that GG teaser there! I can see somebody's been looking at Mark Taylor's concept art for the Goddess...

*thumbs up!*

First off, I love these projects. I think they're just fantastic and I love how you guys are putting in bits and pieces from other MOTU canons into it.

Secondly, if I can give you one critism, it's that there's almost too much going on. A few too many characters, a few too many concepts, and I'm concerned that this next part might be a little bit of overload. Adding King Hsss, He-Ro, the Green Goddess and more (?) into this story and exploring those concepts could lead to a story that's too weighed down. You run the risk of it being a story about all this Eternian backstory with crazy people running about, creating chaos.

But that's just me.

**Optimus Prime** · January 16, 2009, 02:24pm

By Primus, could it be? More BOE? (DROOL)

**BURTDAWG** · January 16, 2009, 02:43pm

So far I like this story alot.I've only gotten to page 4.Cant wait to read on.

**He-Breuly** · January 16, 2009, 02:48pm

Oh my, oh my, oh my, Gbagok!!!

Just can't wait to see the pictures you're just teasing here!!! Battle Armor Skeletor, He-Ro, Classic King Hsss and Mallek??? Oh, I'm so impressed to see what comes next!!! Please, Gbagok, hurry!!!

Thank you! It's not just you, that was a frequent crit for Return to Anwat Gar. I think the pacing of the story will resolve this (or so is the intent, but I'm sure it won't please everyone). Not all the featured characters are star players though, and this is the case in many TV shows such as Justice League Unlimited, where a lot of big names with unique back stories appeared in small supporting or cameo roles. The teasers are for artwork too, don't mistake them for all being major players in the story. He-Ro for example already made appearances in the MVC comics, and he may not appear in any greater capacity in Book of Evil.

The chapters will be longer too, more like stand alone episodes in a mini-series story arc. Remember how House of Shokoti was in two parts, each kind of its own adventure but still connected? That's what we're going after. Another model might be those GI Joe 5-part mini-series (another series with many characters that pass in and out of the narrative without being fully explored).

Have just finished reading this thread...
GREAT PROJECT !!!

**BURTDAWG** · January 18, 2009, 07:20am

Iv'e read RtAG,and it was awsome.I even made a custom of Prince Leon http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...G/fe2b410c.jpg

I havent read Slave City yet which I will do,but this story,and the artwork are better the the MYP series IMO.I can't wait to read more.I may even do a Classic custom figure from this artwork to using 80's Motu figures.Which kinda brings me to this,What ever happened to the GCC's(group custom challenge's)I'd love for those to comeback.Great work guys.

EDIT:Well I guess I did read Slave City,and just forgot I did.Well I re-read it,w/o knowing I read it,and it's still a great story.

**DrPAYNE** · January 23, 2009, 01:12am

Oh man, I can't wait for the next chapter! You guys' artwork is amazing. I can't wait to see your Spikor and battle armor Skeletor designs.
