CyberAnt is back!
Remember this guy? (http://www.cybernetikhomicide.com/#) Just got a email from a client I did a prototype sculpt for a few years back that he posted it up on PatchTogether - http://www.patchtogether.com/designs/cyberant-2808.html


I'll post the full color shots of him later (the full color paint was by master painter Rick Cantu of http://dragonstoothminiatures.net/ - or just go check them out on the PatchTogether link above.

The Keylon Jakes 15 pieces bust sale starts now!!! 15 pieces on sale at $30 each plus shipping in the online store - http://goldmaneentertainment.bigcartel.com/ Three faux bronze versions are available -

...and 12 full color versions are available. See even more images in the earlier post below.

All come with a signed Certificate of Authenticity by writer/ creator - Robert Garrett (http://www.xmoorstudios.com/) and sculptor / producer - Eric Nocella Diaz (http://www.goldmane.net/). Sale ends Feb 28th.

Next week in the GoldMane Ent. online store (http://goldmaneentertainment.bigcartel.com/) I'll have a major sale on some bust sculpts I did for Xmoor Studios (http://www.xmoorstudios.com/) now in the form of pre-paint statues. The factory gave us a case of extra's so - guess what? That's your gain because I'm letting these go for half the normal price we usually sell them for AND to spice things up I threw in some all new faux bronze versions. This big sale will only last until the end of February 2010 - so if you ever wanted a Keylon Jakes Galtow Warrior bust at a great price - now's your chance! There will be 15 pieces on sale and up for grabs - starting Monday Jan. 25th.

GALTOW is now on iTunes!!! Book 1 Directors Cut from Xmoor Studios is now available.

I just got this press release from Rob G. -

"We are smiling as we make the leap to digital seeing as how the market and Diamond have made it harder for an independent publisher to survive in this industry, we knew that the download applications would be the only way to keep our goals viable. It’s with a sigh of relief and a accumulation of several months but we are now moving forward.
So here’s the link to GALTOW Book 1 Director’s Cut:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=331975802&mt=8


For those of you who have our black and white original first book we offer you a full color version along with new dialogue and some rearrangement of sequences... it reads slightly different and may reveal a few things to those who have read the original book. To those who have never read GALTOW… welcome aboard and enjoy the adventures of our heroes Jiya, Keylon and Wu as they navigate a gladiatorial world where only the strongest will survive. We hope you like our comic and look forward to GALTOW Director’s Cut Book 2."
Welcome to the Age of GALTOW!
