Next on the agenda, I’d just like to post a reminder that Varulv Artbooks are still available for preorder! As usual, I’ve been blown away by the popularity of these books, and can’t wait to get them in your hands! Thank you to everyone who’s already reserved a copy. If you want one too, there’s still plenty of time! Head on over to our Gumroad store and grab them before May 31st. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

Finally, comic season is on the horizon! In a little more than two weeks’ time, you guys can catch me at Pittsburgh’s premier comic event — 3 Rivers Comicon! I’ll have a table in Artists Alley and a few copies of Varulv issue #1 floppies to sell! Additionally, I’ll have stickers, keychains, and will be doing sketch commissions! Come on by and say hello, June 1-2 in Pittsburgh at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center!

That’s it for this update, gang! Expect new sketch artwork on Tuesday, May 14th and the next update on Friday, May 17th!

See you soon, pals! And all my best,

Dawn

April 12, 2024: Book 2, Chapter 2

Posted on April 12, 2024 by VARULV

Pages 4-6 are uploaded!

Hey everyone!

Three new pages have been added this morning. As most of you have guessed by now, hungry Trolls and closed-minded humans won’t be the only opposition faced by our valiant team of were-beasts throughout this story arc… read on to meet our big-bad villains!

Click here to read this update!

Today, I’m doing some work on an exciting project I’ve hinted at in blog entries past: A Varulv Art Book! Before the end of the month, I’ll start taking pre-orders on a limited run of these books, which will not only feature a special collection of concept art and my thoughts on world-building, but also, the whole of Varulv #1 without lettering, word balloons, or sound effects — just the art! Plus, as promised, I’ll be doing sketch-covers for these… which means you not only get the chance to have a limited-edition collectible book, but a one-of-a-kind sketch drawn by yours truly, as well! I’m very excited to get these in your hands!

That’s all I have for now! Hope you’re having a great Friday and as always, we’ll catch you next week with three more pages as the story continues!

Pages 1-3 are here!

Hey gang!

Book #2 is here at last and I’m so excited to be kicking off this new chapter in the series! We’ve got three new pages this morning, and we’ve got a lot of questions to answer. What’s going on with these magic-using troll guys? Will the Iele and Trolls actually form an alliance? And will the people of Blaidfästt finally get over their lycanophobia? It all remains to be seen in the next 24 pages and it all starts now!

Click here to read this update!

In other news, I’m going to be doing a little work on the Wiki this weekend, so you can expect new, expanded character profiles and more as I go through all that needs updating on that side of things. I’m also planning on making a limited run of Varulv Art Books which includes the whole of the first issue without text, and more cool stuff! Stay tuned for that.

Lots of other groovy things are just on the horizon for the series too, so if you haven’t done so already, why not join our pack and sign up for our newsletter? You’ll also get access to our Discord server where you’ll have the opportunity to chat with me and other readers! I’m usually running my mouth about this book over there, and we’re always happy to see new faces.

That’s it for now, pals! See you next week with three more pages!

March 30, 2024: Issue #2 Begins Next Week!

Posted on March 30, 2024 by VARULV

Varulv is moving into a weekly update schedule!

Hey hey! A couple of announcements this week!

Next Friday, April 5th, I’ll be posting the first three pages of Varulv #2 and kicking off weekly updates for the series. Every week for the next 8 weeks, I’ll be bringing you guys three new pages every Friday as we make our way through our second story: “Deceptions.” Don’t miss an update! Unless… you know… you can’t make it for some reason. In that case, feel free to miss an update because it’ll still be waiting for you here when you can read it!

Of course, if you were one of our pre-order backers, by now you should have received your limited foil edition in the mail! I’m getting notices from people on the daily, letting me know they’ve arrived! If, however, you were one of our supporters and haven’t gotten yours yet, please get in touch and I’ll be happy to have my team look into what’s going on.

Finally, I’m in the process of working out logistics for an art book that also features sketch covers! I should have more information on that before the end of April. Too, I’ve begun compiling various texts for the Wiki. Failing to find a suitable replacement that I like which would also play nice with our current website layout, I’m just going to re-launch the Varulv Wiki over on Fandom. And of course, that means you guys can contribute as well, if you want to. Look for more info on that as I get it all done.

So that’s everything for now, guys! Remember – if you want to get notified of comic updates and more, the best way to do that is to join our pack! We have our weekly mailing list, and if you’ve got as little as a dollar to spare each month, then you can join my Patreon. Thanks, as always, for your support!

Seeya later, pals!

March 22, 2024: The Books Have Arrived!

Posted on March 22, 2024 by VARULV

Special Edition #1 comics will be going out to pre-orderers, next week!

Hey gang!

I was excited to find a big ol’ package of comics delivered to my door last night! Issue #1 is back from the printers and that means yours truly will be packing up pre-orders this weekend so they can be shipped to backers, this week! Thanks again for making our pre-order campaign such a success.

My only regret is not taking more time to get the word out. Folks have been asking me how they can get their hands on a special edition print of Varulv #1, and while I’d love to extend the deadline to get in on it, I cannot go back in time. That said, I am considering a special run of sketch cover editions of the book, complete with one-of-a-kind sketches gracing each one. For this, I’d definitely do an Indie-Go-Go campaign, as the excitement over the series has been way bigger than I expected — I’m sure I couldn’t handle a bigger campaign without the aid of a distribution service! So keep your eyes peeled! More on that to come…

Meanwhile, the best way to keep up with news about the comic is to join our pack! For those of you who just want to get stuff sent to your emails, we have our weekly mailing list. And if you’ve got as little as a dollar to spare each month, then you can join my Patreon. If you join either, I’ll not only ping you once a week with these updates on the site, but you’ll also be first in line to hear about special events I’ll be doing, see exclusive content, and of course, get access to our Discord where you can chat with me and other fans as well. In fact, I just posted the preview sketch of Varulv #2’s cover over on Patreon! So if that’s the kind of stuff you want to see, please consider supporting me over there. I thank you in advance!

So that’s what’s happening now, folks! Remember, Issue #2 starts in two weeks (Friday April 5th) and with spring on the horizon, it won’t be long before I hit the convention circuit, too! I’ll be talking more about my upcoming convention appearances and all the groovy stuff I’ll be bringing with me, in the coming updates.

Until next time, pals!

March 1, 2024: VARULV Book 1, Chapter 4

Posted on March 2, 2024 by VARULV

The final Pages of Issue #1, 19-24, Updated!

Greetings and salutations, friends! Today marks the last update of Varulv’s first issue! Thanks for hanging out with me over the last two months. There is so much more to come!

That said, we’ll have a bit of a break as it pertains to comic updates here on the website, but fear not — I have lots to do to keep you guys interested as I work on the next issue.

On the agenda first and foremost, are dedicated character profiles. I also want to strike out and update the old Wiki pages over on Fandom, since that’s been one of the best resources I’ve found to keep track of all the lore as I (re)write it. I also will have some layout updates to the website as a whole, to aid in navigating the site.

So, there’s a lot of work ahead of me, but a lot of exciting things to come as well. I’m really looking forward to bringing you more of the story in a few weeks’ time!
