I run the show.

Valley of the Silk Sky chapter 3 concludes!

August 26, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

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 page 30, and NecronomiCon Providence

August 19, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

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

Valley of the Silk Sky page 29 has a heaping dose of WAIT, WHAT

August 12, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

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

Valley of the Silk Sky page 28 – the thought plickens

August 5, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

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

Steven Universe AU fan art: Centipeetle Lion

July 31, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

It’s pretty rare for me to feel motivated to do fan art, but after shotgunning all of Steven Universe while I was sick, I was unable to shake from my mind the image of a mashup between Centipeetle and Lion.

It’s also on Tumblr, if you’re into that sort of thing.

I want a little Centipeetle plushie more than I can say. With eyeball acid squirting action, fun for the whole family, etc etc.

ANYWAY.

Cheers,

Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky page 27, SDCC trans panel on CBR, Northwest Press sale

July 29, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

VoSS page 27 features lots of people being surprised about various things. What are they surprised about? Find out here:

So THAT’S probably fine, right? I’m sure everything will be fine.

And yes, more coverage of the SDCC Writing Transgender Characters panel trickles in, this time with an article on Comic Book Resources. Props for not going with a Caitlyn Jenner headline (srsly, trans people existed before Cait, cis media).

Finally, my publisher, Northwest Press, is having a summer sale! Observe these deets:

Use the coupon code STILLSUMMER to get 30% off anything in the store. That includes Transposes, Politically InQueerect, QU33R, and lots of other titles!

Stock up and get yerself a pile of queer comics for your summer reading pleasure.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 26, SDCC trans panel roundup

July 22, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Valley of the Silk Sky page 26 has arrived, and it features curious goings on. Read:

Did I mention Chapter 1 was going to be on the test? Well, Chapter 1 is on the test. BUT, I guess if you need to, you can refresh your memory of how repellents work by rereading page 10.

Also, if you’re curious to know more of the Writing Transgender Characters panel that happened at SDCC a couple of weeks ago, I did a round-up post on Tumblr with some additional commentary to fill out some details relevant to the posted article.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 25, reading in Denver this weekend

July 15, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

New page of Valley of the Silk Sky is up for your reading pleasure:

Since you were paying close attention to the minor background minutiae on page 8, and were no doubt taking notes, you already have some clue as to who Cobb might be.

Gosh, I wonder what other details from chapter 1 are about to become relevant.

Also, assuming I have fended off the con crud by then, I will be part of the lineup this Saturday, July 18, at Mutiny Information Cafe in Denver. A bunch of us will be reading from our comics, selling our books, and then checking out the band that’s playing after. Should be a fun time!

SDCC2015 was also a fun time for sure. The Writing Trans Characters panel went really well, and it was great to see a bunch of folks I really only see this one time of the year. Thanks to everyone who came by and bought books, or just stopped to chat. I unfortunately took home with me a light cold, so I’m going to go back to bed, I think.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 24 and SDCC goings on

July 7, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Valley of the Silk Sky page 24 is up a day early due to Comic Con shenans. Read it here, why don’t you:

Gosh, who are these folks, I wonder?

Speaking of wondering things, if you’re wondering where to find me at SDCC, here’s the breakdown:

My books will be available for sale at the Northwest Press table in the Prism Comics booth (#2144). There will also be a bajillionty other amazing queer comics for sale in that booth, so obviously you will want to go there immediately upon arrival. I’ll be hanging around the booth here and there, should you desire to get yer stuff signed.

I will be on a panel with several other trans artists on Thursday, July 9 at 5:00 PM in room 28DE. Writing Transgender Characters it’s called. Can you afford to miss this? I put it to you that you cannot.

EXCITEMENT. THRILLS.

Cheers,

Dylan

VoSS page 23 is here now, SDCC is here soon

July 1, 2015 Dylan Edwards No Comments

Valley of the Silk Sky page 23 finds Razi in a spot of bother. Read all about it here:

Meanwhile, San Diego Comic Con is even more nigh than it was last week when I proclaimed it to be nigh. And next week it shall be the nighest of all. You will mostly be able to find me at the Northwest Press table in the Prism Comics megabooth (#2144, or just look for the gayness).

Also. ALSO! You should absolutely, definitely come to the panel I’ll be on, Writing Transgender Characters, on Thursday July 9, 5:00 PM, in room 28DE.

What else. I just wrapped up a short piece for an anthology that I believe will be coming out this fall, or possibly winter. More deets on that as I have them.

Now it’s back to working on VoSS. The thumbnails of Chapter 4 are all set, so it is time to pencil, gosh darnit.

Cheers,

Dylan
