Dreamband - Fiona #011

What do you mean that in a multiplayer game you have to hang out with other people!?

Bits and pieces

Okay, so instead of the Dreamband Character Creation panels I had meant to post this week, here are a series of sketches from before I made Idealized.

A few of the images a from a comic that went nowhere about a guy who finds himself accidentally altered due to his roommates' badly worded wish. Another is a fragment from another abandoned comic where the main character would be given an in development demo of an immersive VR Tomb Raider like game.

The final images are some test im...

Re: Dreamband - Character Creation - Missed Post

So I'm currently traveling for two weeks and just realized that I forgot to pre-upload the panels for this week and next week for Dreamband - Character Creation. Dreamband Fiona and Idealized are good to go, I just messed up the Character Creation comic.

I'm going to try posting some replacement content in its place (I'm kind of glad I posted that beach photo shoot just before I left for my trip), I have an extra Dreamband Fiona I can probably post, and some character test sketches as w...

Bonus Images - Beach Photoshoot

For some bonus content, I've put together a series of images of each on the characters in girl form at the beach (and Mary as herself).

I've also added some images of Cassie and her partner from Book 2, and used these images as an opportunity to refine their look. But I'm still not sure if I've gotten Cassie's partner's face exactly how I want it, so she might look slightly different in the actual comic.

Finally, I've also included some images of a mystery girl who came out perfec...

Idealized Part 8 - Panels 103-119

Debbie and Evelynn clash

Dreamband - Fiona #010

Felix has more important things to do than to listen to some NPC describe their quest.

Dreamband - Character Creation - Panels 91-94

Things slightly improve for our hero... slightly.

Idealized Part 8 - Panels 78-53

Oh Evelynn, we are totally going to do that...

Also, I've been meaning to mention, but keep on forgetting to... I've set up a yearly membership in case anyone is interested. My main reason for mentioning it, is that it comes with a 10% discount, so for those of you planning on sticking around for a full year, that would save you some money.

Book 2 Work in Progress Preview

Originally I was going to wait a bit before posting these, but since I announced today that I've started work on Book 2, now would be as good as ever, particularly with how excited I am with how well Robin's new look turned out.

Book 2 has the tentative title of "Heart Guardians," co-staring Cassie, Robin's older sister, and Cassie's boyfriend! Cassie and her boyfriend have been keeping a huge secret from Robin, one that Robin is about to discover!

By the start of Book 2, Robin is...

Whoops

Whoops! I knew I was going to accidentally press "Publish Now" instead of "Schedule later"! Behind the scenes, I've just finished Book 1 of Robin Harper, Idealized, and I've started on Book 2! However I've set things up so that I have a comfortable buffer, so the final post for Idealized won't appear here until July or August. So while the bad news is while you can't read all of it now, the good news is that in the odd chance that I get struck by a bolt of lightning, you are guaranteed to get...

Dreamband - Fiona #009

In the character creator, nobody can see you check yourself out.

Dreamband - Character Creation - Panels 86-90

Our hero experiences an unfamiliar hunger.

Idealized Part 8 - Panels 54-77

The berry's enchantment gives Evan a new appreciation for something he never had much interest in before!

Dreamband - Fiona #008

Fiona complains about the lack of options during character creation.

I've also included a version of the strip from before I changed the art style. This was the last strip I drew before I went back and redrew everything. 

Dreamband - Character Creation - Panels 81-85

Our hero grows some curves

Idealized Part 8 - Panels 39-53

And here she is, the our final girl!

I've posted a bit fewer panels this week, panel 53 just seemed like a good place to end for this week.

Dreamband - Fiona #007

Felix shows off what else his character can do with her magic.

Also, since I had already drawn a version of this strip before switching to the new art style, I've uploaded a copy of that old version as well in case anyone is curious.

Dreamband - Character Creation - Panels 77-80

Our hero regains her height.

Dreamband - Fiona #001-006 - Restylized + Bonus Sketches

So after drawing the first half-dozen strips, the original art style started to feel like it wasn't working for me. It felt kind of muddled, messy and flat. So after some sketching, re-sketching, and even more re-sketching, I think I've worked out a more improved style that I'd like to carry forward with this comic. In the process, I've simplified Craig and Felix's in game costumes, adjusted Felix's avatar's appearance and hopefully made her a bit sexier.

I've left the panels with Felix...

Idealized Part 8 - Panels 19-38

I feel kind of mean cutting off this week's post here...

Edit: Fixed a type in the 17th panel

Dreamband - Fiona #006

Felix demonstrates why he chose the Elementalist class

Dreamband - Character Creation - Panels 73-76

Our hero shrinks a bit more.

Idealized Part 8 - Panels 1-18

So in my original script, the story essentially finished at the end of Part 7 and was capped with a brief montage of the rest of the day.

Instead, as I refined the script, that montage turned into what will likely be 300-400 panels  of fun and fan service.

Dreamband - Fiona #005

Felix has complaints.

Dreamband - Character Creation - Panels 69-72

Our hero loses some height but gains a nice set of abs.

Idealized Part 7 - Panels 99-125 End + PDF

We finish Part 7 with Robin back with her friends and Mira seeking some answers.

Part 8 begins next week with a repeat of an old transformation and a brand new transformation to follow two weeks after that!

Dreamband - Fiona #004

Craig is at a loss for words.

Dreamband - Character Creation - Panels 64-68

Our hero cleans up and after 68 panels finally gets to the part that this whole comic was supposed to be about in the first place!

Idealized Part 7 - Panels 74-98

Robin is given some homework

Dreamband - Fiona #003

[I accidentally posted strip number 4 right now instead of posting it as a scheduled post for next week. So as an apology for everyone who got the email notification about it, here's strip #3 a few hours early. I've deleted the Strip 4 post, it'll show up again next week like when it was supposed to]

And now our two main characters have names!

I hope all of you are enjoying this comic as much as I've been having fun writing it! I've spent the last week developing the ou...
