Shifters Chapter 3 Pg 40

Been sitting on this a while, trying to work a page ahead or so in my patreon. Been trying to sort out a bunch of things. For those who don’t know, here’s why I’ve been so quiet.

In March of this year, my mother ended up in the hospital with very serious medical problems. She almost died of toxic shock from a bowel perforation. We also found out while she was in the hospital that she’s got Alzheimer’s, and it got really bad while she was in the hospital. She was very sick, and very out of it for some time. We are still dealing with the ramifications of her medical needs, now and ongoing as well as my family adjusting to a woman who’s really becoming quite different from the woman we all knew as my mother.

I’m doing my best to move forward. I want to, I have to. But it has been understandably hard. Che has also graduated and found herself gainfully employed in the animation industry doing posing for a major animation studio. As a result, she’s been working a lot and her time is very limited to do anything outside of her work. So we’re going to have to have a discussion about what’s going on going forward. Right now she’s colouring pages as she gets the chance, and I’m releasing them to the Patreon in black and white. When the colours are done, I’m posting them here. That’s kind of what’s going on for now until I can find something better. I’m trying to ease myself back into comics.

Che and I will be attending Rainfurrest this september. Che and I managed to score a table in the dealers area, so if you are in the Seattle area, or plan to come to Rainfurrest, please come and say hi.

Well its a new year, and thanks to our Patreon peeps, a new page! As promised, work was done over Xmas. Working on another page for next month already, should be done very soon, and of course trying to finish the rest of the chapter. Patreon peoples have had this page for a bit longer, and will get the next page earlier, but either way, its good news for all of you! Enjoy.

Still sorting out a lot of stuff, but we’ve made a promise to get at least a page a month (goal on patreon was met), so that’s what we’re going to do. It might be a bit mucky at first, especially after this chapter is finished as Che and I have to work out a style we can both color in, so if one can’t do it, the other can. Bear with us if styles change or are inconsistent for a little while.

In other news, Che and I applied and were accepted for a table at Rainfurrest 2015. This will be our first US con as a pair, my first US con since 2006. So if you happen to be attending that, come visit us! It is in Seattle WA, Sept 24-27.

Our convention schedule this year so far is as follows:

So, hello everyone. Its been a while, and what a ride its been.

As you can see, we are attempting to get back to the comic after the crazy year its been. A lot of things have been going on.

Firstly, Che, our estemed colorist and my partner in crime for this site has successfully completed her first year of  her University Commercial Animation Program. Because of the intensity of her program, she wasn’t able to do anything outside school work for the year. We are going to try to find a way to work around this for the upcoming year so there can be updates, but they may be slow. We’re playing it by ear, but neither of us wants to give up on Shifters!

As for myself, there was, and still continues to be a lot of drama around my family, although its taken a back seat to the craziness that is helping run a convention. I’m not entirely sure how I got so deep into this whole thing, but stuff happened and snowballed and I got a lot more responsibility that I had originally signed up for. That is all going to come to a head at the end of June, when the Convention will be occurring, and hopefully, I can extract myself after that point to a more reasonable level of crazy. It does give me a lot more respect for people who plan these events though.

IF you happen to be in the Vancouver area this June 27-29th, check out Northwestfanfest.com. Its the one big summer con! Three cons in one ticket! Che and I will be there in the artist alley.

Oopsie. I ment to have this up for last night, but I totally narked on the couch and forgot all about it. I was _very_ tired. But here it is! At long last.

A few things. As Bonu$ commented on the last page, now is a PERFECT time to vote for Shifters on TWC (Topwebcomics.com for those who don’t know) the little blue link button is up there on the top right, just click it and vote, and see if we can’t get a little more exposure. We’ve been hovering round the 250 mark for a while, lets see if we can’t at least push into the 100s. I’d love if we could get to the top 100. I know that usually requires incentive, and I’m thinking on that, but for now, it would be nice to see us get some higher ranking.

Couple of new threads in the forums. Che has started a shipping thread here, and I know there are a least a couple shippers out there reading the comic so go and give her thread some love.

Also got a thread up for some feedback in the RP section. If you are an RPer and are interested in RPing in the Shifters Universe, do check it out and offer your perspective.

Run little vampires! Run!

It’s a little late, but at least its up. Still working at getting back into the groove here after all that holiday season. Might notice some tinkering going on around on the site over the next while. I’ve been kind of itching to do a redesign for a while, but I haven’t quite exactly figured out what I want to do.. yet. I know I want to clean things up, but at the same time I have ideas for other things I’d like to have up. Decisions, decisions.

In other news, we’ve firmed up a bit more of our convention schedule for 2013! Che and I will be at the following conventions for sure:

Vancoufur 2013
Dealer’s Room and Artshow
March 1-3, Burnaby, BC
www.vancoufur.ca

Vancouver Comic Festival (VanCAF)
May 25-26, Vancouver, BC
www.vancaf.com

Vcon 38
Artist Alley
October 4-6, 2013, Vancouver, BC
www.vcon.ca

There’s a few others we are looking at/attempting for, and one that actually is down in the US, although that one would be just Che. We will announce them as we have confirmation that we’ve got space/are going.  Eventually we do hope to do conventions in other places than up here in Vancouver, but we’re still working out the costs of being able to travel and still make enough money to be worthwhile. The last thing I want to do is come back in debt. 😛

We are approaching the end of the chapter. Typically chapters are 30-32 pages, so we’re only about 4-6 pages from being done Chapter 3. We’re also getting close to 100 pages of Shifters Redux! I think its exciting, I know other people probably don’t find it quite as much of a milestone as I do.

At the end of Chapter 3, we’re going to be collecting the pages, adding some bonus pages, adding exclusive print only bonus content and fixing everything up for the first Graphic Novel. I’m hoping for about 110 pages, possibly 120, depending on how much bonus stuff we come up with. Its exciting to finally see this stuff happening.

Anyway, enjoy your page, and have a good Friday.

Sorry this is a bit late guys, still working around Che’s schedule and I’ve been sick, so things kinda got a little out of sorts. Next week could see an interruption in schedule as well as it is a con week, and I’m still sick so I’m not sure if we can get the panel done and colored on time for next week. We’ll see. Just be warned.

Ferrah has returned on the scene and noticed our unlikely allies plotting pain upon her. This can’t end well.

X is still freaking.

So summer comes to a close and its back to school for many of you I’m sure. I work in one, so I never really left. But work is substantially different than being a student. Sometimes I miss being a student, I had more free time.

Going to do what I can to try and get the bonus pages done for this month, but I’ve still got one more Con to do this year, and that’s Vcon! Happening in Burnaby BC from September 28-30. Sci-fi and and post-apocalyptic goodness!

Otherwise, I’ll just let you guys enjoy the page.

Aaaand we’re back. Cos & Effect was FREAKING AMAZING. As usual IRL Events knows how to put on quite the show. I’ll do a full con report later on Evilspacecat.com, but right now I’m still in recovery mode.

I’ve also finished Bloodbath. I know a lot of you were waiting to see this. If you are new, this is a re-do of an old artwork that I did in 2002. Check out the comparison. Amazing, no? It will be available as a wallpaper later, but as a premium one. I just gotta get it sized and packaged for downloading.

I’m taking pre-orders for 11×17 prints of this poster on the EvilSpaceCat store.

A little hint of things to come on this page. Who is the mysterious Duchess? Why does she want the necklace so badly? X is quite right to be shitting her pants right about now. She’s got some good instincts that one. Next page, we’ll see what Mack is screaming about.

You can probably guess its not particularly good for him. We’re almost 2/3s through the issue! Most ‘chapters’ in shifters are around 30-32 pages. Page 19, we’re chugging away here.

We’re still working on schedule, trying to get ahead, but we have to work around Che/Mysti’s shifting work schedule, please be patient if updates are erratic. We are trying very hard to get ahead for regular updates and the bonus pages owed out. Unfortunately combat scenes are a little more challenging, and therefore take a bit longer to draw.

You may have noticed the poll on the right side of the page. If you haven’t made some selections, please do. The graphic novel was a bit of a no-brainer, but I have to say I was a little surprised with the T-shirts coming up so high. Is there anything in particular you guys want on shirts? Toss some suggestions at me in the comments section below!

There is an existing T-shirt I did featuring a stylized kinsmir face for sale here.
