UYD Members,

Just a quick note to let you all know that the UY Softcover is now available! I got a forward via Diana Schutz from Bud Plant regarding the softcover as well as the UY Sketchbooks available. Check out the following page to order:

Yes, they are. And they also come with a little head sketch of Usagi.

I only have a couple of hundred of the first sketchbook left. I picked up the third one from the printer this week, just in time for Anthrocon.

As I wrote in another posting, the sketchbooks are mainly intended for those that are interested in the behind-the scenes type of stuff. They contain sketches, character designs, thumbnailed pages, and other steps leading up the the published story.

The main attraction of the third sketchbooks is a new 10 page story, along with its preliminary work--the initial idea source, outline, and thumbnails. The actual story will probably be reprinted in a trade somewhere down the line, with a disclaimer that it is not part of the UY continuity. There is also an unfinished 4 page "Redwall-style" story started about 10 years ago.

Okay-- sorry if you already put this up somewhere else, but will the third sketchbook be available at the convention?

I picked them up from the printer last week. I'll even have some at this week's Anthrocon.

Yes!! IF you are setting things aside like last year, set aside two for me! IF not, then I guess I'd better be SURE to show up on Thursday!

I'll start a "What should I bring to SD" thread once I return from this weekend's Anthrocon.
