Page Transcript:

Panel 1

A view of the Victorian house at night. Vangel reacts with disbelief from off-panel.

Vangel: Are you kidding me?

Vangel: I really gotta do this?

Panel 2

Vabgel and Jason are in the kitchen with Owain and Lukas. Vangel and Jason are visibly frustrated while Lukas prepares food and Owain pores himself coffee.

Lukas: ’Fraid so.

Lukas: This is why you don’t accept anything from magical beings.

Lukas: Especially challenges.

Lukas: They are extremely binding.

Owain: And the knight was right.

Owain: It’s vital that Paladin maintain good relations in the magical world.

Panel 3

Vangel gestures angrily while Jason stands beside her, trying to explain the situation.

Vangel: This is bullshit!!

Vangel: He’s going to cut my head off!

Jason: You can’t be serious!

Jason: You guys are really just gonna let Vangel get de-headed?

Panel 4

Owain calmly drinks from his mug, offering a stark choice.

Owain: Oh no... You have a choice.

Owain: You can meet the knight, or go home and forget about being a Paladin.

Owain: Walk away and be normal.

Owain: Safe and uninvolved.

Panel 5

Vangel looks away, not liking her options, as Owain explains that there is still a way out of the magical bargain if she chooses an ordinary life.

Owain: If you’re a mundane civilian we can get you out of a magical bargain.

Owain: The mythic world will leave you alone to protect the veil. We’ll make sure of that.

Owain: But if you want to be a Paladin you have to keep your word.

Owain: Your call.

Feels like going home.

I  returned to the hallowed halls of my alma matter (The Minneapolis College of Art and Design) this week to give a talk about crowdfunding, art entrepreneurship, and most importantly, How (not) To Make Webcomics. Some interested faces and some interesting questions. Hope I got my message across.

Of course, $24/month Patrons can already access that talk in the tutorial vault 😉 …

Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday was the name of a Shadowrun character concept I had for a while. She was a moody 14 year old girl that had been in an accident, had most of her body replaced by cyberware, and became a Runner to pay off the debt. Think Wednesday Adams by way of Ghost in the Shell.

Canon of Vangel Its #1 books are in!

That’s right! The books are in and now it’s time to start sending them out! I’m aiming to get them all shipped this weekend, so keep an eye on the mail! With a little luck, you’ll have a convenient distraction from any awkward Thanksgiving conversations you may wish to dodge.

Thanks again for making The Canon of Vangel #1 possible! Issue 2 is already underway, and I’m hoping to bring that to Kickstarter in April 2023!

One more big thank you !! It is Thanksgiving, after all!

Till next time, be thankful!

But not too thankful 🦃

(does that even make sense?)

Giveaway Time!

It’s official! Kickstarter looooovvves Concrete Arcanum! ♥️♥️♥️

And to celebrate, I’m giving away

I’ve got four of these slick pouches from Creating Meraki studios (also available as an add-on) that I’m going to give away this week!

  

Each one is handmade featuring the Concrete Arcanum cover art, reinforced for durability and lined. Perfect for keeping your spell components safe and dry! 8 inches wide, 5.5 inches tall, and 1.75 inches deep along the bottom edge (which allows this bag to stand on its own).

All you have to do to be eligible is to back (or adjust your pledge to) a tier that includes a physical book, and to answer the question of the day!

And today that question is:

Who or what is your favorite monster?


Just CLICK HERE to leave your answer in the comments below the post and I’ll select a winner at random!

Or, if you want to make absolutely certain you get a zipper pouch, they are also available as an add-on.


Good luck! I can’t wait to see what everyone is watching!

And remember to be spooky!

But not too spooky! 🎃

That will get you kicked out of places.
