Hey guys! Just a heads up. I'm headed to Glasgow for Worldcon a week from today, and trips are ALWAYS horrible for my writing for various reasons. Because of that, there is a decent chance that I won't be able to get Chapter 22 to you till I'm back from the con after the 16th, meaning it might be one of those rarer 3-week gaps.
If that's the case, you have my apologies in advance, and as always I'll try to catch up and make it up to you once I'm back. I do have a cool idea for somethin...

Going with #4, though I'm not sold on the lions. They are cool, but I'm worried it will become and expectation for the designs, which won't all have motifs like that.

No "THE STORY SO FAR" just yet, because I'm 95% sure I'm doing major revisions on both 19 and 20 before moving on to 21 (which will probably drop in 2 weeks, just a heads up).
So that will come with the next drop!

Hey guys! Sorry, I wanted to have 18 out today, but scrapping the 2k I wrote in the first half of the week threw me way off schedule, so hopefully that WIP on Tuesday counts for something haha.
In the meantime, here's the final fantasy alt of the Iron Bishop! Again, we are NOT going to be exploring this past these initial concepts, but I wanted them for me, so we're going to wrap the Prologue characters at least like this haha.
Baby Rei and Kast next, then we're starting over with...

We know it might not be for everyone, but THE VENEZIAD has been a HUGE success on Kickstarter this month! It's a #10 Most-Backed ever in Fiction, and the #1 Most-Backed campaign ever in our hometown of Rochester, NY.
If you have any interest in historical fiction, are a fan of OSP, or just like pretty books, please do consider checking it out! Thanks!
Oh, and it's also $10 off on the Kickstarter ONLY!
I got a like 2k words into this chapter before I remembered that Temporal Step is a charged Ability (which means I also have to modify the training session earlier).
On the plus side, hopefully this helps some of you hopeful writers realize that not even the pros keep track of everything well hahaha.
Also it was going to be such a fun exchange, so I want Patrons at least to enjoy it.
Maybe we know what Temporal Step II or III does now 😉

I didn't do a secondary poll cause so many people liked the horns BUT there was enough criticism about them that I decided the perfect combo was (like feedback dictated) just recoloring the horns!
I LOVE this, and I hope you guys do too!
We're looking into options to personalize the back! User name, Squad name, CAD-Type, etc.

Colors all corrected and cleaned up! YAM took some liberties with her wings and faceplate (she has the two eyes instead of a solid plate in the book) but it looked so cool I couldn't say no!
Given Book 1's cover, hopefully you guys aren't surprised I'm not married to making my covers totally lore-accurate 🤣
Enjoy!

Hey yall! So unfortunately Patreon does not seem to have a function in place for displaying images IN polls, so I'm doing this seperate art post (cause the designs are cool) and will follow up with a poll VERY shortly!
In the meantime, tell me what you guys think! Horns or no horns on the griffin? I know what I prefer, but since they're both cool I thought i'd see what general consensus is!
Thanks, and will attach a link to the poll here as soon as it's live:

Surprise! Didn't expect this didya! This chapter wrapped a little earlier in the story than I expected (might change with a reread), so I thought I'd get it out while US readers hopefully have the day of for Juneteenth!
Enjoy, and I'm gonna try to have 18 out for you guys next Friday!

A FEW RULES & REMINDERS:
Quick peek into the art process! Sometimes are artist sends something back that's awesome, but doesn't quite fit what you're going for, so you have to toss it back to them with change requests. You can see my change request here, which a made using Photoshop, applying and adding solid white plus an Outer Glow to achieve a glowing vysetrium look!
YAM's final will be even better, though, I'm sure!
New chapter Friday!

Not to worry guys, again I DID hear you about the fantasy style not being what you want to see from a comic adaptation! At this point I'm just doing the Book 1 Prologue characters for myself as kind of a warmup for the sci-fi versions coming later!
So with that in mind, I hope you like this alt version of Alex Rhytor!
And new chapter coming Friday or Saturday, along with a 15 v2!

Hey all! So first off, regarding yesterday's Alex Rightor concept art, your feedback is heard loud a clear! We're temporarily moving ahead with the fantasy side just cause 1) I want to see it and 2) it will make really cool "extra" material for a future project, but if feedback continues to be "meh" on it then we'll be reworking everything to fit more of the canon aesthetic! So just more stuff for you guys!
Speaking of aesthetics, the final rough design for our first ever shirt...
