Progress of the artwork.  We switched the card's color to make them easier to spot.  We might change that.

We're looking forward to more Chat n Sketches- but first, it's about time for the next Sketch of the Month!

Oh these two are quite a pair.  Rosa has a card in her dress, and Xyk has one in his hand.  I see Rosa is still winning everything.

Not the next art step, but Oh!  So Fun! (C)   This is a shaping look with some lighting on it.  How fun.

Line art of these two back at the original canteena.  And pay attention to the lines on Rosa's dress, she's cheating.  I think Xyk is too.  Let's watch.

High resolution version of the pic- I feel like this one is a good example of our overall style, with cel shading & some soft shading and an overlay combined.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1evV-4wynDDVUNnkf7SUCQanugtdpPYU0/view?usp=sharing

10K Thank you

Shaded on our Twitch stream earlier today- hit a milestone on Twitter, and wanted to make a thank-you pic!  Feels great to see Dreamkeepers meeting new readers, and leveling up our production capabilities as we go.

If anyone wants to participate, we'll select a random retweeter on this twitter post ( https://twitter.com/Dreamkeepers/status/1658566725783244801 ) to win an Omnibus.

Finished!  You know, most people would have put a photo of fireworks in the background and called this good.  But you know what?  That's not Dave.  Apparently he is a part time pyrotechnic.  I never knew.


Chapter 9- Showdown

Glimmering fireballs boomed around the summit of the Tenshu, fizzing flowers of ruby, sapphire, and emerald, casting the tower as a celestial island in the night sea.  Rockets shrieked up from the courtyard; Junior's ...

Getting closer!  I need to find out where to get some of that dragon sculpture for myself.  And watch that sky, there's a big change happening tomorrow.

My contribution to the process.  Rosa clearly knows what she wants.  So does Xyk.

Rosa is out for blood tonight!  Xyk is appreciating his new knife.  And thanks Mr. Fox Man, one more time for having boxers today.

Blues ending a final fight.  A bit of a spoiler here for the story, but we've come so far!

Another nice thing about thumbnails (boy do we like thumbnails) is besides planning a scene, you can map out previous motion and poses as if there was animation.  This is great for all kinds of artwork.

Final fight piece!  Mr. Fox Man gives me Anton from Sonic the Hedgehog (SATAM) vibes.


Chapter 8- Battle of the Bedroom

"If any of you knew about it, tell me."  Junior paced his bedroom floor in a velvet night robe, kicking aside crumpled gift wrapping.  "Tell me now and I'll show mercy."

The three Crimsons remained kneeling amidst the curtains and cabinets.

Junior grasped his engraved sword, the one with the gold filigree, and pointed it lik...

Color blocking complete.  Special thanks to you, Mr. Fox Man for wearing boxers today.  I don't think Xyk's chopsticks were going to help you today.

The reason thumbnails are so important, is because you aren't just doing it for yourself, you might be explaining to others what you're going to do.  And in this case, Xyk wasn't really feeling yesterday's thumbnails, so Dave tried a different version of the scene focusing more on the fight in a dramatic way.  Also we love the katana with the pistol handle soooo much.

SKOM: What-If Wisp

The winning April Sketch of the Month idea:  What if Wisp had grown up normal.

It was a blast exploring the happy-world Wisp life.  From cute little pets as a kid, to logistical school challenges, and up to a nice rebellious teenage stage.

Note her pendant, sporting the symbol from the primary Anduruna religious system.   The graphic-novel version has this aspect of her backstory leading to a subterranean  life under a temple, until Mace & Ravat visit ...
