Chapter 2 Pg 33

And so you have it folks, the end of issue 2! And, yes, I know I’m evil for leaving it here.

>:)

BUT the fact that we’ve made it beyond chapter 2 is amazing! Now, onward to chapter 3 and uncharted territory.. well sort of anyway.

So here’s what’s going to happen here between chapters. We’re going to take a one week break from comic, although we’ve got some fun filler/trivia stuff we’ll be posting next week instead of a comic, but we’ll be back the week after. You guys have been SO amazing that we now have FIVE bonus pages in the hopper. As per how the bonus pages work, we’ll be working to get those bonus pages in the works for May. Although because of of a con in may (Vancouver Comic Festival May 26-27, which I will be exhibiting at…) we may not get the full 5, so it may spill over to June, but there will be at least a full month of two updates a week. We’ve been trying to stick to the Wed/Fri schedule, so that’s what’s planned for now.

But for now, I want to thank each and every one of you for hanging around and supporting  Shifters, even if you do so silently in the shadows of lurkdom or loud and proud in the comments or forums.

ONWARD TO CHAPTER 3!!

Happy Good Friday everyone.

This would be the final bonus page in the hopper. There was virtually no donations for March so if you want more, a reminder that for every 50$ in donations we get nets a bonus page. I am working on getting a better donation meter working that will replace the lame static graphic, so you guys will be able to see what’s been donated, and get a few goodies for donating aside from the bonus pages obviously.

Also, it seems I lied. I will do one more page after this in the chapter to kind of transition this chapter to the next one, otherwise it feels.. off. I didn’t intend it to be like this, but sometimes art happens as it happens, and it doesn’t always match the writing.

Mysti did a really spiffy job on that energy vortex/explosion, I have to say. :3 If you are curious as to why the fireworks, try to remember back when Kat shifted in the first chapter. 😉

Here’s the usual reminder that we are on facebook, G+, inkoutbreak, 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. :P Also, please tell your friends about Shifters if you like it! Word of mouth is the best way to show your love of the comic.

And so, it begins.

Interesting factoid, in the Shifters universe, vampires are NOT undead. They are never at any point dead. They are infected. They carry a virus that changes them and others into vampires. The almost universal first symptom of being infected by the LTV B variant virus is barfing up whatever happens to be in your stomach. Blood to blood contact is much swifter than going with saliva alone, so that’s why Karma bit his tongue.

Also, the transformation is neither pleasant nor painless, as you can see. That part is not unique to Ferrah. She’s experiencing all the turning suck anyone else would. The claws are a little off though….

Bonus update from the donations in Feb! The 30th page on the 30th day of March. How’s them apples for coincidences?

Yes, we all saw this coming. Badassery ahoy! And that’s all I’m going to say about that.

I had a wonderfully witty post. And then wordpress ate it.  *fist shakes*

Enjoy the update anyway.

Chapter 2 Pg 28

The tension, she keeps building! Also, Karma is a pervert.

So this is page 28 of 32, and there are still 2 bonus pages in the hopper, we just haven’t quite been able to finish them in time yet to post them (Vancoufur and then Mysti had a planned engagement for this week), so hopefully you’ll see them next week and it will get us to the END OF THE CHAPTER. OMG OMG. XD Yes, I know its been a little slower this time around, but trust me, I’ve actually foreshadowed SO MUCH MORE of the plot than I ever did before. Probably helps I know more of what I’m doing this time around, but there won’t be five meandering chapters before we get to the point. I’m weaving plot with world and character building this time so they happen together. After the end of this chapter, and Ferrah’s big bang, there will be a pretty significant divergence from the old story. Mostly because we are actually going to be focusing on the main plot, which we never really got to in the old story. So it will be new, but old, but new in a sense… if that makes any.

So advance warning. After the chapter, there will be a short break between chapters. Che and I want to build a bit of buffer going into the next chapter since we’ve got at least THREE conventions over the summer (VanCAF, Cos & Effect, and Vcon) and we don’t want to miss any updates. We’ll try to throw up some splash art, caption contest, etc. If you have a request for break filler, do post a comment!

In a totally unrelated note, I’ve been doing a bit of a stint on the Webcomic Beacon Newscast. Reading and discussing comic news. If you want to hear my sexy voice over there (hah hah), feel free to check it out. I’ll be on again this week as well.

I would probably have something witty to say if I wasn’t still feeling like ass. I picked up some Con crud it seems, been a little zonked. But Vancoufur was otherwise a lot of fun, disease non-withstanding.

Setting up the dominos… ticking down the pages. Its a very odd sort of countdown, but I do feel there is some anticipation building here at this point. 🙂

So here’s your regular update for the week. A reminder that the regular update is Wed now, because there has been some confusion. Bonus pages will come on Fridays, when bonus pages occur.

Speaking of bonus pages, there was supposed to be one this week but because of con prep hell, we just didn’t have the time to finish the second page, so the bonus updates will occur next week and the week after next. There’s still two in the hopper in addition to the one last week.

Bonus page! one of three, although it might end up being a little spaced out because of Vancoufur. Ferrah is strong minded, but she’s still affected by vampiric power at this point. I mean, she’s only human. A bit of a weird human, but still human.

So, in the Shifters Universe, there’s two kinds of vampires. You’ve only seen the one type, which is the kind Karma and crew are. Those who are familiar with the mythos know they are called New Generation Vampires (New Gens for short), or ‘type-Bs’. New Gens are pretty easily distinguished from the “Old Gens” physically by their red eyes, and their wide set, somewhat beast-like fangs.

In the Shifters universe, not all vampires have the same powers, particularly New Gens. While their are ‘common’ powers, in that, many if not most new gens have them, there are some vampires that have peculiar power sets. These unfortunate (or fortunate) vampires often lack powers that are common, such as the ‘mez’ ability that X possesses. She’s particularly good at it though, its kind of like being a specialist, although she does have other abilities. Karma however, is a special case. His ability isn’t quite as strait forward as X’s. Fortunately he’s quite good with his ability, even if X doesn’t understand what he’s up to.

Ferrah is unfortunately on the receiving end of of a vampire hypnosis attack, but the question of course is will it work?

Assuming things go well, there will be another page on Friday. Things are heating up!

Don’t forget, if you happen to be going to Vancoufur  Mysti and I will be there in the dealer’s room!
