Sort of an odd angle, but it'll work out in the end.  Color and finished work in the upcoming days.

A note about "Today's Art-ifacts"

I know the daily drawings can move pretty fast- we've posted over 799 of them, and with few repeats, you've probably missed a few on the timeline.

Well.  I've been compiling the concept art for Dreamkeepers, Realm, and Redemption, (the two unreleased predecessors that built Dreamkeepers) and Dave and I are planning on including this concept art book (in color) somewhere in the Volume 5 Kickstarter.


Things can change, but I'd really like to make it happen.  It ...

Couchcon Saves the World

Egads.

Take a gander!  Early and disorganized announcement for you insiders.

 http://couchcon.org/ 

Artist / Vendor signups are live and open to all, if you know anyone that wants to hop into the liferaft.


We mentioned Couchcon in a facebook artist's alley group, and were absolutely slammed with desperate artists who wanted to know more.  Turns out Vivid is in a good position to...

Prelude 455

The latest Prelude update- early for you glorious and merit-loaded folks who actually make it possible.  Thank you!

Vanth was racking up the tun-points until she hit a bit of a snag.

Today's Art-ifact: Liz Style

I wanted to get back in the drawing groove myself, so why not warm up with an old character: Minew.  She has a cameo in one of the DK volumes.  

My process is traditional pencil to ink, then digital clean up and color.  

Backgrounds are choppy.

Today's Art-ifact: Temporary Fine Artist

Back in 2005, Dave created this piece digitally, printed it out, framed it, and was accepted as part of a gallery show.  He tried the fine art scene, but it didn't sell, and he decided not to make that his thing.

General production update here for those curious about what's happening under the hood.  I'm gonna post a big fun mess of images after the text.

Poseable Plush Commission: Evzen's little sister Abree

Our local art room Vi hangs out with an unusual commissioned Dreamkeeper character, Abree, who is seen in Volume 5 just briefly as Evzen's sister.  Abree is  a bit over a foot tall and brings Puddles, her spark ryuu-neko who is also poseable.  I imagine that she's based off of a goldfish, with her fan-tail.   She's capable of standing on her own, and is fully poseable too.  In one photo I believe Vi is making sure the situation is safe for children.  In the ...

Mace run colored

Cel-shading will be tied into the game's render engine in a unique way- can get stronger or fainter based on environmental cues.

I'm starting to get more excited about this.
