Yesterday's color blocked scene has lines, shading, and effects now. And he changed the colors on my clouds. Fantastic. This is from production of Volume 2.

This is an old sample of Volume 2 production. Lines and shading have been removed, so this is the pure colors, which I did.

A shading guide Dave put together for Volume 2. Not too much has changed.

A widescreen look at an old animation we did, featuring Vi and Scinter. Scinter is in mid motion with his gun, which is called a 'smear frame' when it looks distorted like that.
Animation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SXkC4vyTao

I took a few pics of our current art setup and sent them around, so figured 'why not here?'
First photo: The sample table Vi and Lilith plush who have endeared numerous revisions, Abree who is a commissioned character that is waiting to ship, the Vi-neko, and the best use for a tv stand I've seen in a while.
Second photo:
The curio is from Ikea and couldn't be more pleased by it. You can see mock cels from Dave's animations, two Gregori unused ...

Every little detail of Narin's Superform being snipped apart, for your enjoyment.
Remember when Earthdiving to extract fully from the substrate before deactivating your power, or you may get stuck.

Titans clash as smaller players scramble to set up their line of action.
...Not entirely on topic, but we have been considering which characters to feature in the next expansion deck of Skirmish. We'll be looking at that after Volume 5 releases.
But in the meanwhile, especially with quarantine keepin' everyone separate, we're bringing Skirmish online to TTS. Stay tuned for announcements.
Decorative map of Anduruna. It was made to be printed, cut out in 3d, and hung on a wall.

The only way to keep Indigo colors accurate is to have a swatch with multiple color layers and changing patterns. The pink bar at the bottom was for the dance animation, it was a quick way to grab some color.

Couchcon is coming, and the Dreamkeepers table will include commission slots. Prices and options are displayed above.
A new option: Vivid will be fundraising for our creators by offering wallscrolls of their work. If you have ever commissioned a participating Vivid author, you can get that art on a beautiful custom wallscroll. Details coming soon.

Commission for Anthrocon 2014. Some characters just aren't complete without an oversized hat. That's how things work sometimes.

A group of friends commission, from Anthrocon 2014. Gotta have a dragon-guy in your party, or it ain't a party.

Beast attacks, crowd scatters, powers erupt. This adorable little town just became ground-zero of a RUMBLE.
Powering through more V5 pages next couple days- but will announce commission slots for Couchcon and wallscroll specials once we take a breather.
Plus, Skirmish news in the works...

Rough commission at Anthrocon 2014, serious knee-kick there. Sort of looks like he made a diamond pop out of that rock he hit. Or it's just me.

Ms. M's color swatch sheet. It is amazing how many colors are needed for a supporting character. Getting ambitious there.

As the defective product of a megalithic AI, Nadia must fight for control of her life and, ultimately, the fate of reality itself.
A very old color swatch of a palace guard. The character is just a random, and we didn't end up using the eye patch data scroll thingy. When Dave drew this, he thought it would only be in Volume 1 ch. 3 with Namah, so he added a bunch of detail on the armor. Now he is doomed to draw it every time Namah has a Prelude arc. As a result, for the time being, the guards have ditched their armor. Partially because it's story related and in character, but also to draw qu...

Shock trooper color swatch sheet. Because coloring gray with gray with black with dark blue is not a good time.
