Volume 5 page 53

The first page of Chapter 14- Exodus.   Back in the heart of inner-city Anduruna, amidst a roiling fogstorm.

This page also reflects a format change for the book- I had to go with a standard-size comic format when we started Volume 1.   But I always wanted the art to have more room to breathe.   

Volume 4 was the conclusion of the first 'act' of the story, so with Volume 5, we've decided to go for a full size 8.5 x 11 book.

There will be a small...

Tinsel Vote Incentive & Milestone update

Last week's TWC vote incentive- Tinsel lounging.   This week, I believe it's Vi art:  http://topwebcomics.com/vote/25545 

Thank you to the folks who voted last month- we went from nowhere, to hitting the top 50!   I'll probably put together some more vote incentives to keep the ball rolling this month, they're pretty fun to make.   

And thank you to our March backers!...

Monthly Vivid Poll

Time for some new Vivid content.  Should we illustrate some world-building lore?  A new character illustration?  An animation, a new shirt design, something else?   (Item details-  https://www.patreon.com/posts/patreon-upgrade-25555443 )

Mastermind backers have given us their ideas, and now the choice is yours.

SKOM- Painful Reunion

This month's Sketch of the Month winning idea was:  What if Mace had a heart-to-heart with Vi and Bobby after V4, but before V5?  

Tangling with Tendril didn't leave everyone in tip-top shape for a tea party- with or without painkillers.   But given time, wounds can heal up.   

Commanding Vote backers, get ready for tomorrow- SKOM is upgrading to the Monthly Vivid Poll, and we'll need your help to guide it!

Today's Art-ifact: The Original Plush Whip

Back in college, I made a plush Whip for Dave over the summer.  This one had wire in the ears and tail, beans in the toes, and joints to move the limbs, and fabric pen rims, since I couldn't find the right blue.  He was also much fluffier.  2004ish

New to Vivid: Garage Band

We’re amped to announce the latest comic to sign with Vivid Publishing-   

Turn up Garage Band.

http://garageband.thecomicseries.com/

When I reviewed this submission, I immediately had flashbacks to Scott Pilgrim.   Not identical, but it has the same punky vibe and graphic feel.  Garage Band takes a gritty look at growing up in middle America, and at the core of the color...

Skirmish: The High Ground

Sage standing tall on a card in Igrath's deck- the mechanic behind this one is fantastic, giving the Igrath unassailable dominion in one of the lanes of play.   https://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/skirmish.html 

A crate of Skirmish will be unlocked for sale during our test for Couchcon, running April 12-15!   Details coming soon.
