We made a comic! Filler

Hey guys.

Sorry to do this, but its just been crazy and I couldn’t get a page done between my ‘super secret project of doom’, and the first SHIFTERS COMIC getting it to the printer to have it on the table at VANCAF. Although don’t get too excited, its NOT the graphic novel, but I couldn’t do the whole GN in the time I had, so an issue had to do.

Although on the plus side, the inside cover has room for an original sketch. Probably will end up being a limited run, leading up to the GN of the first three chapters. BUT if you are interested, they will be up in the shop eventually.

So Che was awesome and put together a little filler to celebrate getting it off to the printer.

However, the bad news is that I don’t think that I’ll have time to do an update until June because of deadlines around this super secret project, thow in a con, and trying to manage my health, and its just not going to happen. So I’m just going to put things on hold until June 7th so I don’t kill myself.

I might post some tidbit stuff, but don’t hold your breath.

Chapter 3 Pg 33

Well X, that looks like it hurt.

It’s a new month! Don’t forget to vote at TWC and help Shifters get back to the front page!

This chapter is going to be a little longer than I intended. I’m kind of figuring its going to go over what I had intended by about 4 pages or 6 pages just to get the pacing right, but I’d rather go a bit long and tell the story well than cut it short for an arbitrary page count in my head.

Next week there won’t be a page however, as Che is going to be on vacation out of town. But I do intend to still draw the page, and maybe we can get some of these bonus updates out of the way. I know updates have been spotty a bit. A lot of it has to do with me working on a really big super-secret project that I can’t talk about yet. Its a paying gig, so I’ve had to put a lot of my free time towards that and frankly its been like working two full time jobs, because I have a day job too and I’m still trying to get con stuff done in between.

There will be a break at the end of this chapter, because frankly I really need it.

Che and I will be both at the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival (VANCAF) on May 25-26 in Vancouver at the end of the month, hopefully with a nice surprise. If you happen to be able to come out, that would be extremely cool! Please drop by our table(s)!  Its free admission and there’s lots of great guests and workshops.

 

Chapter 3 Pg 31

Here’s the page, a little late due to technical difficulties. If you haven’t heard there’s a huge attack on wordpress sites going on right now. So my host locked access to the login of all wordpress sites on their servers and just this afternoon supplied a work around so we could get into our sites. If you or someone you know runs a wordpress site, you should point them at this plugin. I’ve installed it now on this WP blog, and will be installing it on others. So if you are a member of the site and forget your password, do a password recovery before trying to log in too many times. 😛

In other news, congratulations are in order for the marvelous Che! She finally was accepted to her school of choice (after three years of trying very very hard to get in) and will soon be a magnificent and awesome animator of things. This is potentially very exciting. For all sorts of reasons. Yes.

Enjoy the page.

 

Comic will resume April 5

Hey guys. Sorry this isn’t a comic page, but some stuff has come up for both Che and myself. I’m being sent off to a conference by my day job for a week, and so I’ll be out of the country for a week and obviously that’s going to put a crimp on any sort of artistic endeavors. Che is also trying to apply for school again this year, and her portfolio is due in less than two weeks. So both of us have some serious business that needs taking care of so the comic is going to have to wait just a little bit longer before it resumes.

We are hoping to resume regular updates April 5th. For now, enjoy this amazing picture of Ferrah and Kat that Che did. This will be here until the comic resumes.

Con Crunch Time Filler

Sorry guys, as it says in the title, I’ve run into Con Crunch time, where I’m trying to get everything done for Vancoufur, plus freelance design work, plus my day job and social/family stuff and I’m just getting overwhelmed and unfortunately this is one of the few things I can just put aside for a bit until I can get other things sorted out.

I have been working on the next page, but it wasn’t inked in time to go to Che for coloring. I was hoping to avoid 3 weeks of filler, but unless something happens between here and next week that might well be the case. Both Che and I are in full production mode with our Art for the show and con merch, so its like AHHHHHHHHH *flail flail flail*

However, I am doing a very cool Shifter related artwork for the Vancoufur artshow. Preview is above, and I’ll be livestreaming it probably over the week. If you want notifications, please watch me on DA or FA, or follow me on twitter.

It’s going to be a big ass framed canvas print ( 12″ x 20″) that will be on sale at the show. I’ve also got a bunch of other work to sling out before then so.. off I go to make arts. There will be more Shifters once I get this terrible crunch behind me. Wish me luck.

Valentines Day Special

We at Shifters just want to say WE LOVE YOU. Complete with cheesy Valentine’s day cards provided by the ever talented Che. And as a special gift, we’ve turned these awesome Valentines into FREE WALLPAPERS you can download from the goodies section. Just log in to the website, and download the Zip file which has a full range of wallpaper resolutions for each design. If you haven’t registered for the site, you can do so here. Don’t worry, its free.

If you have an older monitor, and just want a 800×600 version, there are versions in the Gallery you can DL without logging in. But the high rez are nicer. 🙂

Okay, now we’re done with being mushy, onto the serious business as it were.

Its almost time for Vancoufur and I’m like.. freaking out because I’ve got a LOT of work to do and not a lot of time to get it done. Con prep is a bastard and a bunch of other things came up that are sucking up my time. I’ve got a business trip coming up for my work place where I am actually getting to fly to the East Coast of the USA for a week, and I’ve got a bunch of freelance work I’m trying to fit in between making con merch and trying to prep some work for the Artshow.

So the comic is kinda getting squeezed out. I’m completing one more page, but that being said, Che is also prepping with me, and she may not have time to color it for next week, we’ll see. Otherwise, it might be filler for the next 2 weeks. We’re gonna TRY to get a page done for next week, but the week after, for sure, will be filler of some kind.

Just an FYI for the most part, but we’ll be back after we’re done freaking out and flailing like mad women.

 

Chapter 3 Pg 29

As was said in the streaming chat while things were being colored, “It’s a Bentervention.”

You guys did great last week, voting us up into the top 100 for a while, but it looks like we’re getting a bit beat out again, but we can still make it back I think if everyone remembers to click the vote button for the TWC up there. It really does help new people find us! The numbers of people coming in from TWC since we hit the top 100 were definitely up! Lets keep it that way.

Here’s the usual reminder that we are on facebook, G+, inkoutbreak, Tumblr, Twitter, and even Livejournal if you are going oldschool for your comic updates. I also post updates on Deviantart and Furaffinity. If you want updates, subscribe to one of the above, I try to get them all when I update.. at least most of the time.

Please tell your friends about Shifters. If you like it, share it! You can even use the new spiffy bar below!
