An update for Volume 3 with character concept art- I haven't seen Diligence that aloof in the longest time!

An update for Volume 2 using the Tendril swatch- oh wait, we scrapped this character design. He appears in the mini comic Tendril's Demise. In the main story, Tendril was going to pick up some serious bone armor and come back with a vengeance. Unfortunately for him, story's got stuff to do.

It's no secret that all of Michigan (can I say 'dreamworld', is that too corny?) is in temporary lock-down. What that really means is that we can't get our prints for a while.
So until we're free to fly, if you would like any two of the five prints above, please send us a private message with your address, and we'll ship you your print (or prints) as soon as we can. (mid-April? I think?)
We plan on signing each of the prints in metallic sharpie, but if you would ...

Update from Volume 2, introducing Indigo as a character. And yes, there is a cameo in Volume 1, but her nose has evolved to be longer in the drawing style.

Rare to get a comic so deliciously sequential in title.
The daily disconnect leaves Vanth to her own devices, for now.

A Volume 2 sketch update from way back when, showing Tinsel and the Indigos. Fun fact: the picture of Tinsel had clothing added to the artwork to keep it age appropriate.
The classy burnt texture is Dave's hand burnt papers from the stove. We have so many paper textures now, we can grab one from a folder, no more putting hands at risk.

Wisp is shocked.
Volume 5 updates will resume next week, March 25th, right here for backers.
We plan to continue with weekly updates after that point.
2020 is coming into focus.
Especially with current events so chaotic, we don't want to spring any big surprises on you- so here are the major Vivid Publishing events to plan for in 2020.

A customized ryuu-neko commission for a client who wanted a mix of dark and fire, with red stripe down the back. The 2-3 foot beast has a spine running through the body, is fully pose-able, quite fluffy, and capable of being cuddly, or just plain evil.

Partially finished to finished art of Mace ready for the website.

Mace's video game animation for the jump, in full bouncy color.
The cel shading remains on a separate layer in the game's render engine, so we can play with adjustments based on environmental cues.
Busting out all these animations is a formidable workload- but seeing the result is encouraging, I can hardly wait to be able to run around with this in-game.
