July 5, 2024: Gearing up for Issue 3!

Posted on July 5, 2024 by VARULV

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 21, 2024: Issue #3 Update Schedule

Posted on June 21, 2024 by VARULV

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

June 14, 2024: Finishing up Artbooks

Posted on June 15, 2024 by VARULV

Coming soon-ish!

Hey gang!

This week, I wanted to wrap up work on the Issue #1 Artbooks that so many of you preordered. I had a lot of fun making these and showing off some of the concepts I developed for the series, as well as some art for things yet to come! The whole project should be wrapped and off to the presses by this weekend, and I couldn’t be more excited!

Next week, I start page work on Varulv #3, officially. Really excited to be getting to this part in the story – a lot of action, a lot of drama, and none of it will really be slowing down until the first volume is complete at the end of issue #4. Can’t wait to show you!

As a reminder, I’ll be at Hershey Comic Con, June 29th and 30th, so if you’re in the area and in the mood for a comic convention, stop on by!

That’s all for now, gang. See you on Tuesday for another sketch, and have a great weekend!

Posted on May 24, 2024 by VARULV

The Final pages of Issue #2, 22-24 are Posted!

Hey everyone!

Exciting news — with this update, we’ve reached the end of the second issue of Varulv! This also puts us at the halfway point of the first volume, over all. There’s a lot going on in these last three pages, so don’t waste another minute NOT checking them out!

Click here to read this update!

I’m really excited to have gotten the series to this point, but there are other things I have to talk about. First and foremost — when will the series resume?

Just like last time, I’m going to take a month to get ahead of a few updates and do other things, before starting into issue #3. Don’t despair, though! During that time, you can continue to look forward to weekly Friday updates on progress, new merch and Tuesday sketches! That said, expect an update on availability of print editions of Issue #2, before the end of June! Varulv will continue with issue #3 in July!

I also want to remind you guys that I plan on keeping Artbooks available for another week! We’ve had another stellar response to this pre-order, and I couldn’t be more grateful to you guys for making it such a success! Check it out here if you haven’t already gotten a chance to reserve yours!

I’ll also be in Pittsburgh for 3 Rivers Comicon, June 1-2. Come out and say hi! I’ll have prints, original sketches, and more for sale, too!

That’s all for now, guys! Hope you enjoyed issue #2, and as always, there’s so much more to come! See you on Tuesday, May 28th for Werewolf Wednesday on a Tuesday!

All my best,

Dawn

Pages 10-12 Updated and Artbook Pre-Orders Go Live!

Hey everyone!

Here we are at the halfway point of Issue 2! A couple of exciting announcements beyond the usual update today, too! First off, our story takes a turn in this chapter, as the foundations are laid for what will surely be a devastating conflict. Check out the latest three pages!

Click here to read this update!

Next on the agenda — Varulv #1 Artbooks with limited edition sketch covers are now available to pre-order! This special edition book collects sketches, breakdowns, and more behind-the-scenes looks at the art and conceptualizing of Varulv and its world than I can list in one blog update! Plus, as promised, you can order them to include a special one-of-a-kind piece of artwork (of any character from any IP) to grace the cover — a rare chance to get physical artwork from yours truly. If that wasn’t groovy enough, the book features a special artwork-only edition of Varulv Issue #1, without the lettering, word balloons, or text of any kind.

Varulv Artbooks with the sketch covers will be on sale through May 31st, so make sure you get yours as soon as you can! When they’re gone, they’re gone! Click here to get yours!

Next up, I have an exciting addition to the regular update schedule for you guys. Starting Tuesday, and continuing weekly thereafter, I’ll be posting sketches, mini-comics and works-in-progress to this site, to show you some of the things I’m working on. These will be hosted on the Varulv Tumblr blog, so be sure to follow us if you have an account over there!

So! I believe that’s everything for now, gang! As always, thanks for the readership and your support! Until next week, gang!

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!
