New Patreon reward: Q&A

In the quest to reduce our e-mail workload and provide more content for everyone, we're going to try something new- a monthly public Q&A.

It'll work similar to the Sketch of the Month voting, but with a little variation.

We'll start with three categories for questions:

Business, Lore, and Character.

  • Business questions can include how-to stuff about art, writing, marketing, printing and publishing, crowdfunding- stuf...

Prelude Lineart

That feeling you just got?

...That's what it feels like to see the future.

To test your prophetic powers, tune in Friday and see what the next Prelude update looks like.

Say what you will about Tendril- he learned from his mistake in Volume 3.   Anyone willing to learn can't be all bad!

Lilith, on the other hand, might have benefited from Piccolo's most infamous combat dictum.

DK Game video snippet

Just a quick peek at the current state of the Dreamkeepers video game.

Apologies for the jerky video- the game played smooth on my end, but Picarto was chopping things up a bit.  

At this point in development Mace's range of motion (thanks to concept sketches) is increasing nicely.    The Hive Bats aren't doing much yet- and they can't even attack.

Perfect difficulty level for David.

I'm beginning to appreciate the different lighting engines even more, now...

Prelude 376

This week's Prelude update- Bobby gets a cold splash of... Let's call it reality.

Stay tuned here- next I'm posting a brief video sample of how the DK video game is looking so far.

With a Vengeance

The Dreamkeepers forum is back!  http://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/forum/

A glitch put it down for a stretch, but now it's up and working fine.    Good time to pimp the features- make an account for yourself, with a side profile for your OC.   Automatic die roller in the RP section, and more.   

Enjoy, and thanks to our secret genius for fixing everything up!

Video Game concept- Sand Golem

You didn't think they only came in one size?

We haven't seen 'em in the graphic novels yet, but we will.   Sandmen can be constructed in a variety of ways, and the Sand Golem is considerably larger and more formidable than your standard Sandman.

Our video game buddy was over this week, so we splurged again and sketched up a range of enemies we've been planning for the game.   Spike Pukers, Hive Bats, Sand Golems, and more- samples to come.

We also drafted the ra...

Sketch of the Month- Maternal Vi

This month's sketch- Vi taking care of a baby Mace.

At this point, Vi would have been maybe 6 years old- I don't think she had a terribly maternal personality as a kid, she had other things on her mind.   

But when there's nobody else to rely on, somebody's gotta shelter the Soft Things from the Loud Idiots.
