Details from DS #164
I went a little bonkers with this page, but I regret nothing.
Textless details from DS #164
These "movers" sure are a brutal, merciless pack of animals, huh.
Wiz Hard in person
I think the shirts turned out pretty good!

That Enoch looks like he's in quite the pickle! What was he thinking?
New Kickstarter Tier: The Professional Dissident
A new tier has arrived: The Professional Dissident, which includes the true essentials:A digital copy of The City of GiantsThe Platinum Edition of The City of GiantsWe may have sold out of bookplates and signed prints, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to get your hands on a Platinum Edition book. The Professional Dissident is an elegant, streamlined option for the reader on the go... assuming they have a very large bag to carry this coffee table book in.We're nearing the final week of the campaign, who knows what will hap...

God forbid a woman have hobbies.
Every Friend Group
Don't worry, this isn't canon. No one is friends with Balthazar.
Omega Gay sketch
We reached $170k before the end of the day, so here's Kim and Ling being Omega Gay.Am I too good for a Utena reference? The real question is if I'm good enoughto make a Utena reference.

Gotta love a waterfall
Pencil Teaser for DS #164
I'm very excited to depict this part of Naglfar: an alternate entrance to the district that's hidden behind the waterfall at the base of the "ship of the dead." The architecture jutting out of the island rock of Mim there is in the Art Nouveau style of the oldest parts of Nephilopolis, the Parade of Progress, before it became an actual full city.

Time to sleep

Concept Sketches: the "Goons"
Gotta have quality goons, otherwise what's the point?
New Kickstarter book and tiers!
Because I'm insane, you can now get a NEW BOOK as an add-on over on my Kickstarter, the Dark Science Companion! Over 50 pages of concept art, character bios, and a timeline of the backstory of the City of Giants!Also if you missed out on the Giantslayer and Northstar tiers, we just added the Junior Giantslayer and Junior Northstar tiers, which have all the same rewards as their big sisters, minus the sold out Tomorrow Girl copies!
Sneak Peek for tomorrow: The Dark Science Companion
I'll also share this tomorrow morning for Kickstarter backers, but I thought I'd give you kids a sneak peek because I love you so much: introducing The Official Dark Science Companion! Same dimensions as the old Dresden Codak Primer, but with all kinds of new stuff. If you're backing the Kickstarter, getting a copy is as simple as adding it as an add-on once it goes live!Official description: "An exciting guide to the world of Dark Science, with over 50 pages of concept art, character bios, and a timeline of the backstory of the...
So... Stretch Goal question
So because I'm irrationally skeptical of my own success, I sorta didn't plan out any real stretch goals for the Dark Science Kickstarter.For those who are backing or are interested in backing, what kind of stuff would you like to see? Examples include (at the lower end) new sticker sheets included in every order, new patches, reprints of older books (The Tomorrow Girl is basically sold out!), or even printing new companion books for every order, like a new Dark Science primer/art book.Honestly though, throw anything at the wall, the sky...
Legally obligated Extra Gay drawing
We went past $120k, and a promise is a promise!
Legally Obligated Gay Drawing
Here's the drawing I promised for hitting 1,000 backers today. As a reminder, I will be obligated to draw something Much Gayer if we hit $120k today!
More Kickstarter Madness and a silly goal
As I continue to be overwhelmed by the incredible support for the Kickstarter, we're close to doubling the original goal in just over a day. So as a fun thing, I've set a little goal: if we can get over 1,000 backers today, I'll draw something gay for everyone. But also if we can get exceed $120k today, I'll draw something Extra Gay, if you know what I mean

A concerning turn of events!
Military Cyborgs
Despite looking entirely mechanical, even these military cyborgs still retain at least 51% of their human bodies to be legally classified as living humans. It's just that they're permanently grafted to what's basically power armor. One of the "commander" cyborg models is this big hulking design: a canine head with a snake tail. We've seen two so far: Nahum (who was actually a drone remotely controlled by Amon Harthrow) and Sirius. Military cyborgs are dangerous business and should not be taken lightly. Unlike most other ...
