VoSS chapter 2 begins!

queer YA science fiction webcomic Valley of the Silk Sky Daraz Harcos

Chapter 2 of Valley of the Silk Sky begins! These creatures are Daraz (species) Harcos (warrior/hunter caste). Harcos are non-reproducing members of the species. Read the new page here:

I’ve already got a couple of appendix posts up about the Daraz, if you’re in a world-building mood:

Infrared Vision

Social structure and grooming

In other news, the Queers & Comics Conference in NYC is fast approaching! May 7-8 you’ll be able to sit in on jillions of panels about QUEER COMICS.

I’ll be on three panels (Queer Memoir, and Trans/GQ Character Design on May 7, Queer Male Identity on May 8). Check out the full schedule for all the awesomeness.

In other other news, I have a page and a half left to ink on VoSS chapter 3, and then it’s on to painting. EXCITE.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS world-building week

Valley of the Silk Sky LGBTQIA science fiction webcomic

As mentioned previously, in between Valley of the Silk Sky chapters I post world-building info for your nerding-out pleasure over on the VoSS website. I don’t post them here on Studio NDR, as this site is already a cluttered nightmare. It is not necessary to read these to follow the story. But, let me assure you, they are VERY INTERESTING INDEED.

If you are The Sort of Person Who is Into That Kind of Thing, click the link to learn more about the most dangerous living thing in all of Pocalo.

Chapter 2 starts next Wednesday, April 29! (Or Monday, April 27 if you’re a Patron on Patreon.)

Cheers,

Dylan

Yes, indeed. The final page of chapter 1 of The Long Run is here:

Now might be a good time to read the whole thing through in one sitting, yeah? If you want pagination, here’s page 1 on the Tumbs, and on Studio NDR. If you prefer endless scrolling, head over to Tapastic.

Next week is going to consist of a series of informational world-building posts, which I’ll be adding to the VoSS website and indexing there. I won’t be posting them here because there’s enough chaos in these parts already, but I will put up a reminder.

Chapter 2 will start on April 29, 2015.

In other VoSS news, I finished penciling page 28 last night. Gotta keep that buffer shored up!

Oh, and don’t forget to back the Beyond Anthology Kickstarter! JUST OVER A DAY LEFT. Let’s get this thing to 2,345 backers.

Cheers,

Dylan

Taxonomically Unbound pun webcomic

I completely forgot to upload this here until just now, because I’m a terrible person I guess. (I’m sure jillions of people noticed but were too polite to say anything.)

ANYWAY.

Here is a new Taxonomically Unbound.

I’m late in posting this because I’ve been too busy penciling chapter 3 of Valley of the Silk Sky. I just finished pencils on page 27. I’m VERY SERIOUS about trying to stay ahead on this so there are no unplanned interruptions.

So. There you have it. My solid gold excuse.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 13 has groggily stumbled out of bed and is now available for your viewing pleasure:

Many of the merchants setting up shop in the markets here are from one of the upper provinces, bringing down goods (especially food items) that are not otherwise easily available in Muru.

I used to do a lot of outdoor art fairs myself, getting up at zero o’clock to set up the EZ-Up tent and all the wares, so I feel for those merchants having to be up so early.

In other VoSS news, you still have just over a week to back the Beyond Anthology Kickstarter! So much queer comic goodness contained within. How can you resist?

Finally, check back on Friday for a new Taxonomically Unbound. The comics, they just keep a-comin’.

Cheers,

Dylan

Got two Taxonomically Unbound comics up today, since I apparently didn’t manage to get one posted last week (travel + convention madness are to blame). But they’re up now and you can read them here and here.

They’re also on Tapastic here and here, if that’s your preferred delivery method.

Finally, don’t forget that I’ll be at HavenCon in Austin, TX this weekend! That’s April 4-5 at the Holiday Inn Midtown. Come for queer comics and other LGBTQIA geekery!

Cheers,

Dylan

Page 12 of Valley of the Silk Sky: The Long Run is up, and it features a poor attempt at lying. Observe:

Coming up this weekend, April 4-5, is HavenCon, and LGBTQIA geek and gaming convention in Austin, TX. I’ll be there with all of my sweet, delicious comics, and will also have a bunch of Northwest Press books at the booth.

You should definitely come check it out!

Cheers,

Dylan
