Chapter 3 Pg 41

Well, its not really an April fool’s joke, since this is a legit page, but its probably more of a tease than I’d like it to be as I’m not sure when the other pages will get colored. The good news is that there is a backlog and I’m almost done lineart for this issue. The bad news is Che is super busy and hasn’t had time to color them. Starting with the next chapter, we’re going to talk about a shared coloring technique so that we can both color when needed.

The comic does update once a month however with the black and white lineart at my patreon, and color comics when they become available and whatever other goodies I feel like throwing at it. (which hasn’t been much often, I’ll be frank.)

Anyway, if you feel like tossing a few bucks my way and see the lineart updates, you can subscribe. I also post the color pages there first, then everywhere else.

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. :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.

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.

New page. Of course Patreon patrons got to see it first at the beginning of February, which you too can get for less than a cup of designer coffee. *cough* Just saying. Patreon subscribers have been making it possible for me to afford to get these done and pay Che for her time. Although its a bit of a learning curve for me, in terms of how Patreon works, fees, etc, so there might be a bit of adjustment on the horizon as the pledged amount does not reflect the actual payout after fees and such, so that may be happening for March. It won’t affect this month however.

I will be at Vancoufur at the beginning of March. I’m trying to get the second Chapter of Shifters collected and printed, reordering some chapter 1 prints too.

Still plodding along. There will be a patreon stream Q&A this Tuesday, but there may be another public stream later in the week. I tend to stream between 8pm-12am PST, so if you are in that timezone or awake in that time frame, keep an eye out for the stream on social media or patreon.

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.

Eh. Still working on that schedule thing. Che had a migraine, I had the busy. But its here now.

Have a comic.

Enjoy.

Edit:

Forgot to post this last night, but a friend of mine from the Webcomic Beacon Newscast, Eric Kimball, is doing a kickstarter for his children’s book project. I said I’d pass the word around. Its quite nicely done, and would make a nice addition to the library of any child.

If you know a kid, or have one yourself, consider supporting his book.

Edit 2:

Okay, maybe its not as clear as I would have liked (seriously, I struggled with this page as far as its composition is concerned), but karma is basically bouncing off ferrah’s face with epic force, thereby slamming it into the pavement. He doesn’t shoot maces out of his feet (which is silly). Originally I wanted to draw him landing on her nose and her kind of flicking him off, but do you know how hard it is to draw a slight nose flick? So I settled for this, I thought it was clearer.  Oh well.

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.

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.

A bit late, but I’ve been a bit under the weather lately, but at least it got done. Can you guess Karma’s power yet? Also, I personally love the big middle panel. X’s expression and ferrah’s fall turned out SO WELL. Don’t you guys think? Feels like she really hit the dirt there.

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.
