Halloween Prelude 2012 PSD

One of our backers requested the PSD for an older illustration- so here it is!

Note on the PSD file- the top layer is a levels adjustment that was plonked on to compensate for a lame printer we ha...

Track 24 & Nimble Mace

I need to remember to keep posting the free music- Track 24 of Nikolas Albrecht's brilliant score, attached here for free.   

(Album available in our store- http://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/Store.html )

I figured I'd post a little teaser from some of our upcoming Prelude here while I'm at it. &nbs...

Vi's Helper

 Another commission from a 2014 convention.   Vi assembling a custom wardrobe, with a little help from Whip.   He's such a sport.  

It'll be exciting shipping these two together when our Plush comes in from production. 

V5 development- REDACTED swatch sheet

More progress art to share.

Whenever a relevant character appears, who will be making multiple showings, we need to put together a swatch sheet & reference guide.  

 Some scenes take quite a deal of concept development, before we can even begin drawing the pages.

Busy week!   Hit my Prelude quota, and five pages of pencils for Volume 5: https://www.patreon.com/posts/volu...

Flight Plan

 A commission from Midwest Furfest, 2015.  Because if a butterfly can do it, failure is not an option. 

Character Deployed: TENDRIL

The next character entering the fray in the upcoming DK card game- Tendril.

A rhyming bloodthirsty slimeball, whose sadistic resolve is matched only by his delusions of poetic grandeur.  

Which pose should we finalize for the card artwork?  Vote for your favorite:

Insult Contest

 The guys at SlackJaw Punks are giving away a Dreamkeepers Volume 1 book- but there's a catch:

You've gotta insult them.

http://slackjawpunks.com/contest-an.....vol-1-contest/

If only they had selected something the internet was good at. ...

Volume 5: New horizons

Just a quick update from V5 production- with all of Chapter 13 thumbnailed, we're moving into official pencil art.   

Sneak peeks here will be geared towards teasing, rather than spoiling, the story.

That said- 

This is a landscape heretofore unseen.

After years of scarcity, stickers are back.

Mailing merch was cutting into my drawing time, which is why they were pulled from the store for so long-

But then along came a Ferrous.

He's tackling the Sticker B...

Each week we reveal the identity of the next warrior- today's revelation, the first into the fray:

Costume Scandal

The illustration from our first Halloween Pollmasters game.    Readers launched competing polls to select the featured characters, and then the overall readership voted on the theme- "Sexy" won, followed by "Funny."   

And voila!    Lilith and Namah having some scandals relating to their Harvest Festival costumes...  It's not easy being a mummy.

Sketch of the Month- Situation Switch

Patrons voted, and we drew!    Extra thanks to Liz, for taking the time to color this in.  

The idea this month- what if Mace was the son of the Viscount, and Lilith was the orphan? 

I loved the idea, and it was fun to draw- especially thinking about how the respective characters might mix with their revised surrounding cast.   

Thank you for the fun ide...
