Poseable Plush- Enter The Evzen

Just finished a new character in our line of poseable Dreamkeeper plush: introducing Evzen!  His tail is over three feet long and fully bendable to help him balance.  The table samples, Lilith and Vi, lounged during his photo shoot before he was prepped to be shipped to his new owner.

2019: Looking into 3D keychains, here are some Namah hanging poses that we were experimenting with.  The third one has a nice dynamic shape.

Volume 5 page 86

This glimpse into the past was fueled by listening to Great War from Sabaton:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggsf7yHbuZI&list=PL1JrZKcpOQRSPrsxCwNV1D_wR2QfSobgn  

I've been excited to share this glimpse of Igrath's past for a long time.  Tried to think through the consequences of a grinding incursion- far from home, and it's laws. &nb...

When Vi wears her pj's in Prelude, this is the swatch that is duplicated to make the pattern work.  We just lucked out that there is a similar quilting fabric for plush Vi.

Mace Run-Stop

Another video-game test, Mace coming to a stop from a run.

I plan to redo this one for a bit more pop.   Aiming for a playable sample environment in 2020, among other things.

Calendar Loot

Merch has arrived!  The contoured acrylic keychains have impressed me- Vi and Namah sold out, but Vanth is still running around seeking a home.

I feel goofy, but I've never been excited about a calendar before.

V5 shading teaser

Wanted to share photos of the Calendar loot that came in tonight, but this page is takin' me longer than I thought.   Quick gif showing shading stages of a little corner of my current Volume 5 page.  Thank you backers and calendar-buyers for keeping me drawing.

Lilith Animation isolated

Breaking ground on some new animation ventures, which means I need to re-organize our folder structure to remain organized going forward.

In the process, found a trove of older animations and progress work.  May share tidbits as time allows- here's an isolated sample of Lilith reacting, from the 2012 DK commercial animation.

Thanks everyone for reading.  I wish I had more time to talk with you online, but it seems I'm always jumping on the next drawing.   I appreciate the understanding- and I am trying to get caught up on e-mails this weeke...

Volume 5 Chapter 14 page 85

Mace lookin' out for his friends, and Namah doing the same.  Yet somehow it puts them at cross-purposes- this week's Volume 5 page.

On an aside, I'm quite enjoying the cool palette of Northhavenville.  Just seems pleasant for a little harbor town.

Indigo Stripping animation

Another new animation- I absolutely love creating these, and it is entirely made possible by you, the backers.  

Thank you for giving us the ability to have this much fun.

Animation baby-steps.  As the series grows, more support will allow us to pull in additional talent, animating more and faster.  A traditionally animated video game is one of our next major objectives.

Floating Island Exploration

More magic from our Big Commission Queue- a pair of vixens discovering flourescent fruits.  If it glows in the dark it's either delicious, or a sinister being compiling reports for its overlord.

Namah Character Pack Mousepad

You can put those star stickers anywhere you want- but you're SUPPOSED to stick them in the Dreamkeepers 2020 Calendar.  That's why they are included, silly.  One Namah Character Pack remaining, last I checked.  https://vivid-publishing.mybigcommerce.com/dreamkeepers/merchandise/
