Happy New Year 2015

This portrait was completed back in September, but I've been saving it for a special occasion. The impending new year is as good at time as any, perhaps, so here it is: a half-year calendar from Smashed-Rat-on-Press (*).

Those three of you who have read the Embargoed Earth series of books put out by University Press of Brnzklug Bafnerpolg will recognize the cast members instantly, but for those who aren't so familiar (as well as the clueless masses), allow me to introduce them. In the back row, from left to right, we have Ishmael (carrying that heavy blaster), Snohunz-Guck (the huge dude with the big eyes who is too tall to stand up and still remain in the frame), a random visiting G’hoinknoiy with its Ploznerhonxic interpreter. And in the front row we have, left to right: Mellie Sprockette, Martini Max, Primrose Sprockette, John Jones (obviously an alias), Inspector Wakishita, KJ Broadwick, Rachel de Grenville, Jennifer G, and (holding that thing which looks like a lollipop but is far more dangerous) everyone's pal Vrshkoglobwisnotz. Reference photo by "Bob" (who now regrets not being in the photograph). The colored group portait was rendered by Lon Ryden erosarts.

Happy New Year, and may the Peace of the Rodent be with you...

(*) It's only a six-month calendar because at SROP we know that being cheap is the American way.
