Thank you to the $10 level backers who made the choice- the votes are in! This month is the returning request, one that has been close to making the cut multiple times:
Bandit Mace, Whip, and Paige if nothing had interrupted their plans to run away.
I'll get this penciled up in the next few days. Thanks to everyone for keeping us working, looking forward to sharing a lot of fun this month!

Round 2! The last time we tried to share this file, it was having difficulties downloading for everyone. It may have simply been too huge-
I've resized it to be more manageable, so hopefully this link works!

Hey everyone, it's that time again- what would you like to see for the monthly sketch? Fire up those suggestions in the comments! 8 D
Also while I'm here, just letting you know I plan to do some streaming later this afternoon, getting caught up on the commission que. https://picarto.tv/Dreamkeepers

The latest Prelude- negotiations between Muliebral and Woods. Full-res layered file attached for the PSD-level backers, thank you for the support!

Sorry for the delay- but these turnarounds involve a lot more art than the average sketch, and it just seems like they need color!
The unclothed version is in the attachment for those who want it- NSFW, etc etc.
You may notice that, of all the characters in that file, only Grunn is censored- this is just minor Plot Vault due to the next Prelude arc. Afterwards, we'll release the full monty.
The Full PSD file will be released to the PSD-backers...

The first prototype has arrived! He's pictured here with the Prelude hardcover book for scale. (It's an 8 1/2 by 11 book.)
We're getting a quote from the manufacturer now, and if we can reach the minimum benchmark, I believe we can sell him for less than $45.00
The Whip Plush Kickstarter is coming this July! Because the world needs all the hugs it can get.

Hours of fun- drawing nonstop art requests, while we had guests on chatting about everything from art, publishing, kickstarter fulfillment, philosophy, dicks- boundaries were broken.
Joining Dave & Liz were:

The Wayward Astronomer illustrations are on number 18 / 25- we're getting there!
Even so, some video game progress is inching forward on the backburner. Here are some of the preliminary trees for testing in the starfall environment.
Flammable leaves, bouncy branches, battle damage- I'm not sure what kinds of features will be incorporated into the terrain, but we'll be finding out as progress continues!

I'll get the lineart in the works this week, and share updates with you as they're ready to show.
Although, I must confess- that Paige-Mace idea is brilliant, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that it wins next month. E )

It's big, it's heavy, it's wood!
An early sample of the color flats for some video game stuff. I am looking forward immensely to running around in the Starfall mountains!
Of course, you can run through or on top of the logs, as one is so inclined. I want to create some 'spring' for those branches on the right, so you can launch higher if you time the jump right- and possibly make that bark ledge on the left brittle and breakable, depending on chara...

Volume 5, Chapter 13, page 006. This is the thumbnail layout for the first page of the story! V5 is starting off with a bang.
Preceding it will be the usual title page, publisher page, foreword, recap page, and a chapter title page.
Even with all the details so rough, a thumbnail like this is critical for guiding my efforts on the art. Thumbnails often require more thought than the actual drawing process- how many panels are needed to convey the ...
