In the months since Juda joined the Brotherhood, we have learned many things about him. For one, he is an extraordinarily talented writer, capable of besting most of the Brotherhood within weeks of joining in the RoS. He is also an ACC fiend, having fought over nine simultaneous battles at one point. He is a great guy to be around, seemingly always content and friendly, and a true team player as he has shown in two runons, always considering the other members.<BR><BR>
But today, it is his graphics talents I want to focus your attentions on. Since his arrival, Juda has written character posters almost nonstop, at an incredible speed, seemingly tiredless in an effort to capture literally every single person to ask for a character description. It has led to his meteoric rise within the Clan, propelling him to promotion after promotion as an award for both his talents and his efforts. <BR><BR>
Now, however, we are at a fulcrum where Juda has performed several feats great enough in magnitude that they cannot be but taken separately. I am talking, among other things, about the #arcona comics. Juda came to me with the original idea, and his work for it has continued to be exemplary, consistently witty, and most important of all, excellently drawn to the point where even the Grand Master has requested his services for projects. Despite his already excellent activity in the rest of the Brotherhood, Juda has continued to submit these on a weekly basis, and has even managed to find the time to write a bonus comic when the occasion (read, funny incident) presented itself. <BR><BR>
Another cool thing Juda drew was a poster of the current Consul/Proconsul pair, a pretty amazing poster in and of itself, and for which he has not yet been rewarded. <BR><BR>
And finally, the biggest effort of them all, a poster of the new Erinos family, of which Juda is a founding member. He has undertaken the truly monumental effort of drawing all nine members in a single, large poster, an effort that took no less than thirty hours in total. <BR><BR>
The total amount of work performed, in the end, is staggering. Between two hours and a half for each comic, three hours for the poster, and the aforementioned Erinos Family poster, we are speaking of no less than <I>four full days</I> of work, all accomplished without even flagging in his numerous other activities. This is work that, over a period of time, has been truly outstanding. <BR><BR>
Juda, for your efforts, I am happy to congratulate you on the Steel Cross. <BR><BR>
