September 6, 2024: Book 3, Chapter 8

The Final Pages of Issue 3 — 22-24, Updated

Hello and hello, dear readers!

This is it! The last pages of Chapter 3 are upon us. As you know, things weren’t looking too great for our heroes when last we checked in with them… and as of this update, the situation might have gone from bad to worse! But is there perhaps hope on the horizon for an unexpected ally? Read on to find out in the conclusion to Varulv #3!

With book three of the Varulv saga now put away, it’s time to start thinking about the epic finale to our little story, here. As you might recall from previous updates, Varulv #4 will be the last issue of the first volume, and your friendly neighborhood indie publisher has been preparing not only to bring you a conclusion, but a print edition of the series thus far, as well!

As you know, we’ve done two very successful pre-order runs for our various Varulv printing projects, and for this last one, I’d like to run a slightly bigger campaign. I’m currently pricing things out, but come November, I not only want to wrap up Varulv #4, but do some crowdfunding to get a Varulv trade paperback in the hands of my readers and potentially, wider distribution as well. Stay tuned, because as it stands, it’s not going to take much, and as always, I plan to have some very cool incentives for you guys if you want one!

For those of you who ordered Varulv Art books — After a challenging time navigating a driveway overhaul, I finally got them in the mail this past week! Look for them soon, and expect a few little bonus thank-you gifts alongside your comics! I hope you enjoy!

Issue #4 will begin in October — until then, keep joining me here on Fridays for more updates, art, and behind-the-scenes looks at our final issue! Groovy!

All my best,

Dawn Best

August 30, 2024: Book 3, Chapter 7

Pages 19-21 Updated!

Hey all!

Remember Ragna? Gee, I hope so — because she’s finally back in this update. Also, are things finally looking up for the rest of the pack, or could it be they’re not out of the woods yet? One more update to go after this one, gang!

Of utmost importance to those of you who ordered artbooks — there are still some of you out there who have yet to respond to the survey and what you want drawn on the cover! If that’s you, please check your email! I would love to get them out to you as soon as possible!

That’s it for now, loves! See you guys one week from now as we, unbelievably, conclude this third issue!

Get hype!

August 23, 2024: Book 3, Chapter 6

Pages 16-18 Updated!

Hey hey, pals!

Think you have everyone pegged as a good guy or a bad guy, yet? Don’t be so sure! This week’s update just might throw you for a loop!

Hard to believe we’ve only got two more updates to go before this book concludes! It’s crazy to think that summer is now winding down and we’ll soon be chronicling the very last issue of this volume! And with that in mind…

If you’re a member of my Patreon, you might have seen the announcement I made earlier today. With Varulv wrapping up its first story arc by the end of the year, I have been coming up with new ways to keep my very kind supporters involved in my creative process, and to that end, will soon be offering original art, prints, stickers, sketches and more to my Patrons at select tiers! Check out all the details, right here.

And on the subject of stuff coming in the mail — I’m nearly done with the sketch covers to all the Artbooks, and will be sending them to their homes, shortly! Had a little hiccup with our friends at Furaffinity getting their domain confiscated, but since the dust has now settled there, the production line is once again going strong! If you ordered one of these editions, be sure to check your mail next week!

That’s it for now, gang! Enjoy the update and I’ll see you all next week!

All my best,

Dawn

August 16, 2024: Book 3, Chapter 5

Pages 13-15 Updated!

Hey all!

I have a doozy of an update for you today! The battle for Blaidfästt comes to a bit of a halt in this installment, and some interesting things are about to be revealed. How will our heroes get out of this one? Stay tuned to find out!

Big news on the Artbook front as well! The books have arrived and I’m ready to start drawing all over them! For those of you who ordered, my goal is to complete the sketches and have them all in the mail, next week! I’ll keep you posted!

Also, hot off the presses – Varulv Issue #2 proofs came in the mail and they looked awesome! Those of you collecting the individual floppies of each issue can look forward to getting your very own, soon. These puppies will be available for purchase on our IndyPlanet store in the coming weeks!

That’s all for now, gang! See you next week as the drama continues!

Awoo,

August 9, 2024: A Look at Next Week’s Update and Exciting News

Hey gang!

No new pages this week as I’ve decided to give myself a break after what became an intense and busy month! Awesome news on the horizon, however!

I was just notified that the Artbooks have been shipped and are on their way to me! That means I should be spending next week doing the art for them, and getting them out to you all! Cool! I can’t wait for you to see them!

Also, the second issue of Varulv has been submitted and accepted to our partners at IndyPlanet, so expect print editions of Issue #2 to be up in our store, very soon!

Other than that, I wanted to thank you guys for giving me a week off to “breathe” — check out the attached image for a look at what’s coming, next week!

All my Best until then!

August 6, 2024: Werewolf Wednesday on a Tuesday!

A new bit of content appears on our Tumblr page!

So, a small update for you guys, tonight! Still trying to assemble the next update but I do have something exciting to announce… Artbooks will be shipped to me very soon! Those of you who have bought these can look forward to me drawing on them and dropping them in the mail a little sooner than expected (thus far)!

Whether or not I have an update for you this weekend, I’ll see you all on Friday! And there’s going to be art, either way.

Take care until then!

July 19, 2024: Book 3, Chapter 2

Hello again, friends!

Our update today brings us up to the edge of the conflict brewing at Blaidfästt. The Trolls and Iele have come, Wyn explains the Fae involvement, and Ragna makes a daring move. Come check it out as we bring you three new pages for your reading pleasure!

As some of you were made aware yesterday – our plans for Artbooks have hit a bit of a snag in production, but it seems there will only be a small delay in shipping! I’ve placed the order with a different printer as of last night, and we’re back on track to get the books in your hands by mid-August! If you purchased a printed Artbook, make sure you sign in to your Gumroad account so you can enjoy the digital copy in the meantime, and also so you can read up on all the details!

In other news, I’m heading to a small convention at the James V. Brown Library in Williamsport, tomorrow! Come say hi if you’re in the area — I’ll have coloring pages, will be doing sketches, and more! This will be a family-friendly event, so bring the little ones, too!

That’s everything for now, folks! See you next week with the next update!

All my Best,

Dawn

July 5, 2024: Gearing up for Issue 3!

Updates begin next Friday!

Hey gang!

Some exciting things on the horizon as we look ahead to issue #3’s premiere next week! First off, I wanted to say that a most excellent time was had by all at Hershey Comicon, and I adored meeting everyone who came out to say hello! My next convention will be a small, mini-comicon, here in Williamsport, Pennsylvania at the James V. Brown Library. Check out the details, here.

Second, I’m planning a second run of sketch covers for those of you who missed out on getting the Varulv #1 Art Book. These will be reprints of Varulv issue 1, available for puchase as blanks, perpetually, as well as from me (including a sketch or signature). More on that, soon!

Finally, Issues #2 and The Varulv Art Book are ready for printing, and I’m just waiting on an ETA on their shipment to me at this point! Issue #2 will be available for purchase through our online store at IndyPlanet, in the coming weeks!

And that’s about it for now, everyone! Really looking forward to next week and the beginning of our third issue! Take care until then!

Awooo,

Dawn

June 28, 2024: Heading to Hershey Comicon!

See you there!

Hey guys!

If you’re on the East Coast, USA and looking for something to do this weekend – why not come visit the Sweetest Place on Earth for their annual comicon? I’ll be there, doing sketches, selling books, selling merch, and just plain hanging out. Should be a great time, and if you’re going, I very much look forward to seeing you!

The Artbooks are again getting a pre-production pass before going to print, so any formatting issues I’ve had are hopefully fixed. Too, Varulv #2 is heading to print as well! Awesome!

That’s all I have for you guys this week! Next week, I hope to bring together a few sneak-peeks of things to come as we near the premiere of Book #3! See you then!

June 21, 2024: Issue #3 Update Schedule

And so much more!

Hey gang!

Exciting times — I’ve finished the cover art for issue #3! Check it out to your right, here. Too, I wanted to officially announce that Varulv will commence with the third issue in our series, “Alliances”, on July 12, 2024!

Next, I’ve uploaded Issue #2 to Amazon, so expect it to be available for Kindle as soon as it clears the review process! The book is also ready to go to print and should be available in physical media in the coming month or so.

Now, onto some bad news — I didn’t quite hit the mark when formatting the Varulv artbooks for the printer, and have to resubmit my files after I make a few formatting changes this weekend. No big deal, but it’s a bit of a setback, and you all can absoutely blame me for that one.

Regardless, things should still ship, as promised, before the end of the July, so if you pre-ordered one, we’re so far still on schedule to get them out to you!

That’s all for now, gang! One more reminder that I’ll be at Hershey Comicon next weekend, June 29th and 30th, 2024. Hope to see you there!

All my best,

Dawn
