Valley of the Silk Sky chapter 3 concludes!

Page 31 is done, and it’s a wrap for chapter 3. Observe:

So, what of Chapter 4? I’ve got 13 pages penciled, a couple inked, but nothing painted. Things have been enormously busy this summer with travel and conventions and whatnot, and I have a short-turnaround comics project I need to crank out in the next couple of weeks.

I don’t want to start posting pages of Chapter 4 until I have enough done to ensure an unbroken run, so I’m going to take a short break to build up the buffer again.

My goal is to start posting Chapter 4 right around the time the Beyond Anthology has its official release at the end of September. (I have a 16-page VoSS story in there, exclusive to the anthology, so keep an eye out for it.)

In the meantime, I’ll be doing another series of between-chapters world-building posts on the VoSS tumblr, which you can find indexed here.

Folks who pledge $1 or more on my Patreon will get a bunch of concept art and character design posts over the next few weeks. If that’s your bag, you can find said Patreon here.

See you in September!

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky: The Long Run page 30 is up! This is the penultimate page of chapter 3, so really, things can’t get any worse, right? Read it here:

Tune in next week to find out if, in fact, things CAN get any worse.

Meanwhile, if you’re in or around Providence, RI, I’ll be vending at NecronomiCon Providence August 20-23.

I’ll mostly be selling Feeping Creatures stuff, but I will have a few comics on hand if that’s your desire. The vendor stuff is happening at the Convention Center, and you don’t need a convention badge to get in (though I understand there’s a small door fee if you don’t have a badge).

So! Come get some monster-themed stuff, won’t ya.

Cheers,

Dylan

Things are turning a bit upside down (possibly literally) in this week’s installment of VoSS. Discover the deets here:

I can only imagine what next week will bring. (Well, okay, not ONLY imagine. Also write, draw, ink, color, and publish.)

What else? SPX is a little over a month away, and they’ve just published the exhibitor list. You may notice a certain name on there, hem hem. What, no, I meant MY name, dammit. Sigh.

ANYWAY. Yes. Gonna be at SPX. And, while the official date hasn’t been announced just yet, a certain Beyond Anthology is also about to drop. More on that as it is revealed!

Still penciling VoSS chapter 4 (in the midst of page 44 even now), still working on Comic For a Certain Website, about which more later. And next week I’ll be in Providence for NecronomiCon. Mostly that’s going to be about Feeping Creatures stuff, but I’ll bring a handful of comics as well.

In other words, BUSY BUSY.

Cheers,

Dylan

The latest installment features some curious goings on, curious indeed:

“The Swamp” is the colloquial name for Eradu Province, the one directly beneath Muru. Many areas in Eradu are partially submerged, and sewage runoff from the upper provinces often collects there, sometimes fermenting and creating pockets of explosive gas. Fun!

Needless to say, it’s not particularly habitable, and being thrown down a hole to get there does nothing to enhance the experience.

Also, let this be your periodic reminder that eVeRyOnE in this world takes gender-neutral pronouns.

In other VoSS news, I’ve been penciling away on Chapter 4, and am just over halfway through. I’d ideally like to finish penciling by the end of the month, but it may not happen because of Other Projects and Things. Point is, I’m working on it, but the going is slow on account of needing to actually make money?

I guess this is as good a time as any to remind folks that I have a Patreon, and by pledging to it you can help cut down on the amount of Other Projects and Things I have to take on. Just sayin’!

Cheers,

Dylan
