The tree is up!

I put my tree up a couple of days ago. I don't have much space, so it got stuck in the area between some shelves against one wall. Here it is, for your viewing pleasure.

Lots of Simpsons ornaments, as usual. A couple of Batman-related ones as well; those Brave and the Bold mini-figures convert to tree ornaments nicely. The bag of ornaments that included my Masters of the Universe ornaments has gone mysteriously missing, so no Skeletor or Mer-Man this year. Some lanterns representing the various factions in the Green Lantern universe were added once I realized their little handles made them perfect for hanging on the tree. Since Macho Man Randy Savage served as the tree topper last year, I gave the Nature Boy himself top billing this time around.

Here's a side shot in which a few more ornaments can be seen, including a Terminator endoskeleton peeking out.
Thanks to Cindy, I also have a nifty extension cord for the lights with a built-in floor switch. Sadly, my blue lights are in the bag with the missing ornaments, so I only have clear ones this year.
As usual, right click on the pics to embiggen them.

Today is Creator-Owned Day!

As detailed here, March 1 is creator-owned day. I only just found out today, so I took a half hour to whip up some art of one of my favorite characters I've created, Penumbra. Here's the original black & white drawing, and a red-tinted version. You can open each one in a new tab to see the full-size versions.

Penumbra is wielding his sword Golgothar, which assembles around his hand from components housed in his gauntlet. Everyone be sure to check #CreatorOwnedDay on Twitter to see what everyone has posted!
