Oooh it feels good to be back. I’ve missed this.
Kickstarter Update: We’re at almost 20%. We’ve gotten off to a slow start but we’ve actually been gaining pledges.
If you haven’t yet please consider giving us a pledge even if it’s only a dollar. Every pledge helps get the invisible gremlins at Kickstarter working in our favor. If you can’t/don’t want to pledge, consider sharing the project on social media. See ya next week!

Building an Interdimensional Library: Part 2
Memory is Discord’s history section, all fact checked and verified. It also contains most of what would be considered government secrets, as the tomes feature de-propagandized accounts.
Really proud of the Design of Kashi’s desk. It sinks into the floor and reappears on demand, and there’s a spot in each section for it.
It was important to me, in order to capture the feel of Smithsonian Museums, to have “artifacts scattered throughout Discord. The “Stargate” is one that s...
Building an Interdimensional Library: Part 1
Update: Most of the Kickstarter work has been completed. I’ll be wrapping up everything as soon as possible and launching it within a month. HOPEFULLY BY THE END OF OCTOBER. The rewards are done (and awesome,) so all that’s left is to finish the video and edit the comic… that itself is a massive task. Can’t wait. Hopefully you’ll understand why everything’s taken so long once it launches. The graphic novel proof looks AMAZING, and the final will be even higher quality.

It had to be D.C.
Crisis Update: He’s sick. Really sick. That’s all I can say. He’s my partner and we’ve made over 170 pages of comic together, so he has my loyalty. If worst comes to worst I’ll find a new artist for Volume 2 after the Kickstarter, but lets hope it doesn’t come to that.
I considered a couple of real world locations for Discord. The first was New York, which was an obvious choice, but overdone. How many Urban Fantasy settings take place in NY? How much of every genre is set...
Designing the Characters
Since Michal and I are in the midst of the GREAT KICKSTARTER CRISIS OF 2017, and our communication has been at an all time low, I figured I should start doing some weekly blog posts.
For this post I’m going to transport us back in time to the magical year of Fall 2015. Fall 2015 was a pretty great time in my life, but I was burnt out. I needed something creatively different to keep my mind occupied. Discord had been a project kicking around in my mind for a LONG time, but...

Retiring Amernia Fallen. Temporary?
Blows dust off this old thing.
First off I’d like to pat myself on the back depicting a country whose complex socio-economic problems manifest themselves as racial tension, forcing the country to choose between a blond narcissistic chauvinist and an unlikeable, uncharismatic, humorless ice queen all the way back in 2014. Fucking called it.
What a journey it’s been. For the most part, the journey has felt like fighting in the trenches of World War One, cleaving giant rats with my shovel and slo...

Michal deserves an award for this page.
From the City Gate to Memory
From Mainstreet to The Reading Room
From the Market to Logic
From the Palace to Wonder
They feel Planet Silurmore, and run into the arms of Discord.
Can you find all the characters?

I’ve been quiet for a little while.
Life’s been crazy. If you haven’t been checking for Discord Updates, here’s a teaser of what you’ve missed. Discord allows me to push my imagination further than ever before. The first graphic novel will be completed sometime this winter/early spring. There might be a Kickstarter in my future, but who knows.
