Updates, and a give away!

Here's some updates for Gurukitty! We're pretty excited for all this! Mainly Comic updates!

 3 New comics

Hello Albertosaurus

This is a graphic novel memoir of a trip Kitty and I took to Alberta with our Dad one spring. We had many adventures. It will be a perfect bound graphic novel.
You can see the progress and more information on my art blog Animated Guru.
This project will begin production in November-January.

a Graphic novel based on an african legend. - stay tuned for more on that. A few teasers are coming your way soon!

Hermi The hermit crab
By Kitty
Kitty is doing a mini comic for sale at cons that will be printed on marker paper so you can colour it with markers.
For purchase only - conventions and Online shop.

Other Updates

In other news, Conflagration is being re-envisioned. Animation Is an incredibly expensive, long and technical process. A feature length film is a monstrous undertaking and We're trying to come up with ideas of making this project and multi media project to lessen the amount of animation involved to get the project moving faster, with more stuff to post to show everyone.

The Shop!

We've added a new category to the shop - Digi stamps
This is for the crafters! They're small illustrations you purchase as an alternative to rubber stamps. They're great because they're scalable, unique, and editable unlike rubber stamps! I've mostly got packs for sale, but as time goes on there will be more single stamps.

Comix and stories FINITO!

So It's over. We attended Comix and stories, and it was great. We talked with lots of other nice convention goers and sold some of our stuff. The best part was all the glowing praise we got! so many people said our work was great that it was really nice to hear! That was the best part - to hear that people are impressed by our work.

Well, with that wrapped up we do indeed have some left over merchandise we'll likely clear out in the shop or as free draws on the blog here.

Some of you will be delighted to know, we have some Tiks in bottles left over.

People who expressed an interest in them before the con will be contacted first, to see if you still want them, otherwise we'll be placing them for sale on the shop or Etsy. Keep your peepers open for that!

Lots of people recognized us from the internet too, which was fantastic! 

Without further ADO - heres the photos! Check out our cute price signs :p

Tik Production - behind the scenes

We've been ploughing away creating tons of unique Tiks for sale at the upcoming comics and stories convention!
We've got around 30 Tiks freshly varnished and each ones painted in a unique way. While there are a few that have similar colours (because they've been popular) or similar spots, each one is completely unique hand painted and completely adorable!

Here's some production shots!

Black Tik, and 2 metallic coloured Tiks.

Dark Blue and ABC tik! 

Tik Display! This will be at the comicon!

Fire Tik and Drip Tik! So cute!

Lilac Tik is hanging to dry!

The drying rack I made out of balsa and dowels. It holds 90 tiks! I made it so that they would dry without touching so no flat spots!

Hope to see you at the Comic convention this weekend!

Daqueran and his wife

Here is a special bonus content for you bloggers. This is a quick sketch of a character design of Daquerans wife from when he (and she) was alive. I have her skin, eye and hair colours in mind but I haven't done any colour examples of her yet, though she has been the subject of many sketches.

I have some name choices for her on the image there, in order of which ones I like best. I wouldn't mind knowing which name you like best of the four listed.

She most likely doesn't appear in the comic much, if at all, she's there for my own character developing purposes. I'm visual and I needed a visual representation of Daquerans past.

So what do you think of her? Which name do you like the best?

Also a reminder, we will be doing some giveaways of comics, artwork, and products from the GK shop at random to commenter's and followers of this blog as soon as we've generated some readers. So if you want to get in on that, get commenting and following now because the first giveaway is going to be a rare item!

We will announce what the item is before we select winners, so you'll have a chance to get in on them.
