If you were planning on acquiring signed copies of Dreamkeepers in the near future, be sure to read on.
The good news: I'm booking on Volume 4, shading a page a day. "Descent to the Archives" is half done, and rolling towards completion.
The bad news: Hitting that quota is kneecapping my online upkeep. E-mails and art account notes tend to languish. Apologies to anyone awaiting reply- I will get on top of things, eventually. But for now- colors.
The fact is, there's increasingly more to do as Dreamkeepers and Vivid grow. To stay on task with creating content, I've got to start delegating.
First on the list: Order fulfillment.
When people buy Dreamkeepers books I log their info, package the book, and jog off to the post office to mail it. I do customer service relating to orders, tackling any stray delivery snafu that may arise.
Over the years we have hand-packaged literally thousands of books, to dozens of nations around the globe, working individually with hundreds of customers.
That's fulfilling on a deep level- seeing my work through from pencil, to print, to the post office, where I personally mail it to another excited reader.
But as we grow, packaging is eating more and more of my time.
So Vivid will begin selling its books through Amazon. More time for me to create, faster delivery to readers- what's not to like?
Well, the downside is we'll no longer be offering personalized orders. The option to buy a sharpie-signed and doodled graphic novel will vanish.
Signed copies are currently for sale in our store here: www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/stor…
If you have your heart set on one, the time to snag it is now. The Paypal buttons are scheduled to expire in February, when we finalize the switch to Amazon.
We'll still offer signed editions during pre-orders / Kickstarters for new book releases- possibly including earlier titles. But between Kickstarter releases, conventions will be the only other place to acquire signed books.
Ye have been warned! Now I must return to my sparkles- I'll break to make a new V4 Sneak Peek once I finish another scene...

Loona Valentine
1/4 from Operation Valentine: Loona! POV you just asked if you could be her little pog champ.🫠 (Linked here, DA doesn't let us upload mp4s for whatever reason.) EVERYONE at the Art Attack level (February only!) will get a version of this art as a physical signed print in the mail. (NSFW variant will be posted in the Dreamkord.) The next Valentine is being voted on right now! Cast your vote within 24 hours. HUGE thank you to everyone helping Operation Valentine fly- it is working! The SECRET SCHEME of make more cool art, to attract fresh backers to fund more animation / game / comic production, is actually working! THANK YOU for the support, welcome to the new faces, share the valentines around with some friends, and let's make some more fun.😎
Operation Valentine
The FIRST RULE of 💘Operation Valentine💘 is, you DO NOT TALK about 💘Operation Valentine.💘 (💬Talkin' about it here https://dreamkeeperscomic.com/blog/C/2024/01/31/OPERATION-VALENTINE-3088 )
Skirmish Development: Update
Skirmish development- quick update for backers: The Skirmish early-access demo is getting closer! In fact, it works now- but it will really benefit from a few more weeks of bug-hunting. Meanwhile where am I at on the art side? Sharpie sketch Add-Ons are all done and delivered- if you haven’t gotten yours yet, hit us up! (Vivid@vividpub.com) There’s a few folks who never told me what to draw, we’re ready when you are. Meanwhile the Gloria Aeterna, Anduruna Immortal, and Golden Memento backers are in the queue for commissions and animations. I’m tackling core game assets first- animation is rolling steady on Vi, Bast, Ravat, and Wisp decks. If you’re in the Dreamkord, you’re seeing progress updates and samples almost daily. These sequences are coming out SHARP. Once we get the demo characters ready for showtime, I’ll work on Igrath, Scinter, Lilith, Tendril, Scuttles, and Tinsel. I want to make sure I get the animation squared away for the developers, so they can

Welp, I decided to finally order all 3 signed volumes. You've long earned it. Besides, I'll consider it part of my........research. Also, the "problems" you're running into are GOOD problems. Congrats!
