Sorry it was late but drawing that crowd scene and the whole gym thing-you-can-hardly-see, was brutal. Plus the perspective on the band was a tough nut to crack. The band performing is a cameo of a real band, named Cyrios. David Hitchcock, one of the members of the band composed and recorded the Shifters theme song “New Moon” and the Vampire theme ‘tainted. You can listen to them both here. I keep meaning to ask David if I could offer New Moon as a digital download, but I keep forgetting. Hey Dave, can I? XD Email me and we can talk.
If we compare and contrast with the original Shifters, we are about here. I know, I know, its going a bit slower, but I’m laying foundations here. You have to admit, ya’ll know a hell of a lot more about the world and the characters and such now than you did at that same point in the old version.

The forum RP has seen a bit of a revival as of late, thanks to Bubbanator505′s persistance. Kudos to you dude. If you are interested, you can check out the threads here.

There’s also some additional Shifters related discussion taking place as well as more of Sterling’s writings.

I’m probably forgetting something I was going to say but its 1am and I need to sleep now.

A new character appears! Well sort of. Another teacher, this time the pink haired ‘Miss Penny”. She’s keeping watch on the door to make sure no one is sneaking in… or out as they please. How did the vampires get past her? Well its a good question, ponder if you will.

Sorry the page is late, but at least its up, right?

Yes, for those of you who remembered and guessed it was Holly Tate, congrats! You were absolutely right. She’s back, twice as bitchy as ever. In the original the antagonistic school prat was a girl named Serena, but it makes more sense (and shaves off some unneeded fat storywise) to have Holly as the antagonistic prissy bitch. She’s rich, her family is influential, and you probably didn’t know that the school that they all attend is one that’s generally for the more socially upwardly mobile kids. Not quite like private tutors, but it’s still pretty expensive. Ferrah used to live in the Undercity, until her mom got promoted at the corp she works at.  Which is why Holly picks on her. Her family is also pretty poor comparatively, Ferrah actually working after school to help with the cashflow for things she wants. You’ll see Ferrah’s work place later.

Annnd we have another character from the old comic (actually technically, three old characters with a bit of a facelift). And I’m sure you alllll know who this redhaired bitch is (if you knew the old comic.)

Just confirmed the table at Vancoufur for March, so I will be there.

Okay, here’s the *real* update for you all. Sorry it took so long, technical difficulties and all that jazz. Humans have a crummy sense of smell.

Edit: I know the reward store is having issues regarding downloading the new wallpaper. I’ve informed the plugin maker about the issue, and it should be resolved shortly. I will let you all know when its fixed.

Edit again: okay it should be fixed.

And if you missed it yesterday, don’t forget to check out Sterling’s ongoing story about the 15th Kinsmir on the forums if you haven’t. Go and have a read

Hello all.

Sorry for the delay, Mysti’s power and internet was out most of today, so the coloring didn’t get finished. So here is a bit of filler to keep you entertained while she colors tomorrow. The page should be up on Thursday. If you want to download the wallpaper, there is the lower rez version in the goodies section, but if you want to login, you can download the high rez version from the Rewards store for free.

If you are interested, there is also some nice fiction being posted in the forums by Sterling, you might want to go and have a read.

I also have a quick question to the more-tech-savvy-than-I, if you will indulge me. My main monitor has developed a bit of a strange problem. Its a flatscreen LCD, Viewsonic. It looks like everything is sort of.. well smeared. Its still clear enough but everything looks like the color is being smeared to the right. I can also clearly see a roll going on. Does this mean I need a new monitor? Or is there a way to fix this? I’ve tried new drivers, but that didn’t seem to do anything. I have a secondary display (much smaller) which seems to have no problems, suggesting to me its a hardware issue with the monitor, would the geeks concur? And if so, is it repairable or do I need a new one?

Annnnd here is your bonus page, and the last page of 2011! I think you will agree that 2011 has been a good year for Shifters, and we’ve managed to keep a pretty good schedule going from June! This is in no small part thanks to Mysti, the awesome fantastic amazing colorist who’s been keeping me on my toes and working ahead of schedule. You should go check out her stuff and maybe leave her a tip. She honestly deserves love from all Shifters fans.

Its been an… interesting year. Stressful, crazy, and the next year promises to be just as amazing, and crazy although I hope to kind of limit the stress. I’ve got a few “new years resolutions’, one of which is to do yoga at least three times a week, but, for resolutions you might care about, is getting the first chapter recolored/relettered/touched up and printed for the convention season, which for me looks like it will start in March possibly. Mysti and I have got a tentative spot at Vancoufur atm, and will be at the Vancouver Comic Festival for sure. I’m going to apply again for Cos & Effect, Minicomi and I’m already booked for Vcon.  Also on my list is getting the store on EvilSpaceCat.com up to date with all the nifty stuff I’ve got, prints, comics, buttons, zipperpulls, etc, so if you can’t make it to a convention, you can still get something, although I may have to find some more tech savvy people than me to get that one done. I also want to get the new coin system running on here, ( I got it sitting waiting to be installed) So I can reward people who comment with nifty icons. Its also got some other nice features too I will hopefully be taking advantage of. I know this is also a year where I’m going to have to get my ass into gear for new art. Although I’ve already signed a contract to teach again, I’m hoping that being on a different day it will be a little easier to manage than in the fall. I think all my RL friends are going to get annoyed since I’m going to be reclusive trying to get all this artwork done. XD

Anyway, here’s hoping your new years is awesome, and all the best to each and every one of you awesome people in 2012.

Yeah, so it was Ben who used his spirit wake to clock the vampire hard enough that his natural regeneration wouldn’t be able to compensate immediately, pretty much broke his face right up. But its healing pretty quick, so Ben has to act quickly. TO THE BATHROOM! Because its the natural place for an interrogation. Ayup. The second page will be coming on Friday.

En-thrall – Verb

• 1 -Capture the fascinated attention of.
• 2-Enslave.

Betcha you didn’t see that coming from a butterfly. And the full extent of this Dream god’s power is still yet to be seen. Yes, Butterfly is a dream god.What is a dream god you may ask? well its a good question, which is actually answered in the forums if you care to dig, but otherwise you’ll have to wait for an explanation a bit later for the specifics, but Dream gods are the source of power for the Shifters. All Shifters have a connection one that allows for them to shift into a shape in that Gods’ portfolio, but some, like Ben, have the ability to form pacts with more than one. These Shifters are known as Shaman, and because their magic can directly affect vampires, they are pretty highly valued and sought after for the side of order.

If you’ve been reading for a long time, you probably know some of the stuff that happened for “The Beast Within”, and be at least a little familiar with a few of the Dream Gods, but there will be much more of them shown in this version, a stronger connection of them with the Shifters and how they figure into things.

Also, punch to the face. Betcha didn’t expect that either. Ben punches hard.

Oh and the extra page will update for next week after xmas.

So back to Ben… (had you forgotten?) We also finally learn the last name of the last vampire, who may not really be around that much longer, and I get to show Ben’s nifty shaman powers. XD This was one of those things I revised, as I felt the fetish he used to use (the weird sticky thing if you remember) looked kinda.. well not very cool. The tattoos on the other hand, much cooler.. and makes more sense in the scope of things since Shaman are channeling the dream gods’ power and the tattoos are a manifestation of the pact between the shaman and a dream god. So when the shaman is actively drawing on their power they come to life in a way. It also serves as a very good reference as to if they have the favor of the god or not, because if they don’t, the tattoo would vanish. So, any guesses as to how many tattoos Ben has?
