DRIFTER THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!


Well, Drifter is officially three years old! The first page was posted on this blog, three years ago today. That first sucky page was soon followed by many more sucky pages, but I wouldn't change them at all. Drifter has been a big chunk of my life, and it's been so much freaking fun to do it for so long. I'm glad that those sucky pages slowly began to get better, and I began to grow as an artist. It really has been a giant blessing in my life, even if the blessing includes weird monster people beating the crap out of each other. I owe so much to all of you guys for reading this thing, even if you stopped sometime. I also owe my art teacher, Mr. Ochsner for getting me started on this, and God for helping me through it.

Enough of that though, here's some art I've accumulated from others featuring some Drifters! Thanks for everyone who made something in here!


Zyzeji by awesome SW artist, Grant Gould
(This character hasn't been in the comic yet, but he will be.)

Az Cactuz by Grant Gould
(Another character yet to come show up.)

Zyzeji by another well known artist, Andrew Dickman

Klura by Tim Fisher

A collage of me and my characters by Shawn Courtney

Godon by Aaron Kapper

Eisle by Tom Travers

Nothing by Geoff Maxfield

Thanks all you guys who drew these, whether it was for fun or because I commissioned you, it really means a lot to me.

Thanks a whole bunch to everyone who encouraged me or read my comic and left comments. It was immensely important to Drifter's continuation. There'll be much more in store for this comic on the horizon too, just you wait!

That's awesome! Nice to have all of the different artistic renderings of your characters together. Although my contribution looks quite pathetic.

It's been a good 3 years, and I expect another 3 more! (Or I want my money back.)
