Considering the latest poll, I and my brother (with assistance from Too) have been thinking of creating a S.T.E.A.L. artbook. Such a book (called Visions would include all the art from the previous books, color illustrations, and hopefully 5-6 new unreleased color artworks.

However, it is going to be a large effort on our part, therefore before doing so we need to have confirmation that people would be actually interested in buying the book. So, the idea would be to gather at least thirty preorders (a tentative price would be $35) in two months’ time.

Notice: if you are interested you do not need to pay anything yet. Just add your name in the comments here, and you’ll be contacted again at the end of the time frame.

Finally, I was able (sorry but I had a rather large commitment before) to write and add a new snapshot today. Currently it covers more than half of chapter 3, so I expect to finish it by next week, hopefully. Another change in the snapshot is that two cleaned-up versions of the drawings are included (courtesy of Melissa Adkins). Other changes include reworked “effects” (I’m tired of lightning) and minor textual adjustments.

You can grab it from the novel page.

I have updated the PDF version of People of the Darkness to include up to chapter 6 (both the full PDF and the individual chapters). As with the previous versions, they are optimized for screen reading. I will add the remaining chapters in the future (although you can get the complete version on print).

Hello again. It’s finally time for an update. Specifically, I have pushed a new snapshot of The Path to the Light online. This release has several highlights:

• The most important new “feature” is the inclusion of Too’s artwork, although not in finished form (it still needs a lot of cleanups), up to the point of the story;
• I have also reworked the meeting in chapter 2 (it’s supposed to be organized, people should have a clue of what they are talking about) and the subsequent scene with Mei;
• There’s a new part of the story in chapter 3.

The new snapshot is available in the novel page. Comments and the like are welcome, like always.

On an unrelated note, I have received more drawings from nekoshiei for Klaus and Jason: I plan on uploading them as soon as I have time.
