The Vancouver Comic Arts Festival is only a scant week or so away, happening May 26-27 at the Roundhouse in Vancouver, BC. I will be there at table 44. I shall post an image of this exact placement next week. Sadly I didn’t get my Shifters books printed in time, but I will have some copies of Brymstone books, and prints, as well as oodles of buttons, artcards, and t-shirts.

Its been an up and down sort of week and has left be a bit out of sorts I’m afraid. Thus I haven’t really gotten to do everything I wanted to and I’m still mulling over the Circle contest details, so sadly I don’t have any further details on that.

You should be able to figure out by the invisible groping where abouts time has been rewound to in Ferrah’s head.

If you haven’t been checking out the forum, Sterling’s just wrapped up the ‘Wrath of World War 1′ story he’s been writing, its pretty epic. Do check it out, along with several other short stories featuring John Sterling. If you don’t know who Sterling is, or forgotten, he’s the last Kinsmir prior to Ferrah.

So, just so no one get confused, we’ve actually backtracked JUST a little in time to experience What was going on in Ferrah’s head while she was all under X’s hypnosis. I promise it won’t take too long, but I also promise it’s important. Especially for people who want to know more about how Shifters awaken. So pay attention.

We’re going to start the bonus updates next week, trying to get a lot of things done at the same time here. The Vancouver Comic Arts Festival is rapidly approaching for May 26-27 in downtown Vancouver, BC, and I’m going to be there with a table. So if you do happen to be planning to be in Vancouver on that weekend, do come and stop by.

I’m still working on the ideal contest for the selection of circle members. I don’t want it to be skill based (like say for fan art or fan writing per se), but I do want there to be some challenge involved. Last time I had people write about when they found shifters and why they were a hardcore fan and what they brought to the table in the Circle. I’d like to do something a little more current now, since a lot of people here I’m sure are reasonably new. I’m working on it anyway, haven’t forgotten, still hammering out details.

And here we go.
Kind of an artsy cover for this one. Something I learned to do in my day job. XD

So, last year around this time we had put together the first Circle. The Circle is a special group of dedicated fans who help me out in various ways, and in return get some exclusive previews and livestreams and various other tidbits.

Since last year we’ve come up with 6 vacancies which we are going to have to fill. Like last year, we’re going to have a competition for people who want to be a part of the Circle, and take one of the vacant seats. If you are interested, I’d suggest registering for the forums, because you’ll probably need to make a post. ^^ I’ll be posting details next week.

Also, David Hitchcock, part of Cyrios, the band that did the Shifters Theme song, would like your opinion! I said I’d help him out and post it here as he wants to pick your brains a little about music/concert stuff. If you would be so inclined to answer his questions, that would be great.

Just a little something to show a contrast between then and now for this week. Will probably do a few more as this goes along, just to glow about how much the art has improved.

Carry on. New Updates start next week.

Before & After: The Vampire Bite is a post from: Shifters Online

And so you have it folks, the end of issue 2! And, yes, I know I’m evil for leaving it here.

>:)

BUT the fact that we’ve made it beyond chapter 2 is amazing! Now, onward to chapter 3 and uncharted territory.. well sort of anyway.

So here’s what’s going to happen here between chapters. We’re going to take a one week break from comic, although we’ve got some fun filler/trivia stuff we’ll be posting next week instead of a comic, but we’ll be back the week after. You guys have been SO amazing that we now have FIVE bonus pages in the hopper. As per how the bonus pages work, we’ll be working to get those bonus pages in the works for May. Although because of of a con in may (Vancouver Comic Festival May 26-27, which I will be exhibiting at…) we may not get the full 5, so it may spill over to June, but there will be at least a full month of two updates a week. We’ve been trying to stick to the Wed/Fri schedule, so that’s what’s planned for now.

But for now, I want to thank each and every one of you for hanging around and supporting  Shifters, even if you do so silently in the shadows of lurkdom or loud and proud in the comments or forums.

ONWARD TO CHAPTER 3!!

Chapter 2 Pg 33 is a post from: Shifters Online

Happy Good Friday everyone.

This would be the final bonus page in the hopper. There was virtually no donations for March so if you want more, a reminder that for every 50$ in donations we get nets a bonus page. I am working on getting a better donation meter working that will replace the lame static graphic, so you guys will be able to see what’s been donated, and get a few goodies for donating aside from the bonus pages obviously.

Also, it seems I lied. I will do one more page after this in the chapter to kind of transition this chapter to the next one, otherwise it feels.. off. I didn’t intend it to be like this, but sometimes art happens as it happens, and it doesn’t always match the writing.

Mysti did a really spiffy job on that energy vortex/explosion, I have to say. :3 If you are curious as to why the fireworks, try to remember back when Kat shifted in the first chapter.

And so, it begins.

Interesting factoid, in the Shifters universe, vampires are NOT undead. They are never at any point dead. They are infected. They carry a virus that changes them and others into vampires. The almost universal first symptom of being infected by the LTV B variant virus is barfing up whatever happens to be in your stomach. Blood to blood contact is much swifter than going with saliva alone, so that’s why Karma bit his tongue.

Also, the transformation is neither pleasant nor painless, as you can see. That part is not unique to Ferrah. She’s experiencing all the turning suck anyone else would. The claws are a little off though….
