Pages 19-21 Updated!

Hey all! Long time no see!

When last we left our favorite pack of werecreatures, Kjell had managed to get his mitts on the conjoined Summoner’s Crosier and Bells of the Windwalker… but why was he drawn to these treacherous treasures? Read on in our latest update, right here:

So, if you’re not following me on Patreon or Bluesky, I suppose some explanation for my absence is in order. Long story short, I got extremely busy during the last weeks of 2024 and into the first weeks of 2025, so I had to put my art desk on ice for a bit. Long story long — I picked up two new contracts for work and my father went through a surgery which necessitated he take up residence at our house at the start of the new year.

Things are finally settling in now, and while I couldn’t bring you a big 6-page update finale as promised, I reasoned that a 3-page update was better than none at all. I’m shooting to have the last pages done in the next two weeks, and look forward to giving you all more information on the collected edition print, thereafter!

So! Enjoy the latest pages and I hope to see you guys in a fortnight!

All my Best,

Dawn

October 11, 2024: Book 4, Chapter 2

Posted on October 11, 2024 by VARULV

Pages 4 – 6 Updated!

Hello, hello, friends!

As our heroes continue to be stuck in a holding pattern, Wilander becomes experimental with the two trinkets he’s recently acquired. Those of you holding out hope that he’d not try crossing magics can leave your expectations at the door. Check it out in this week’s update! Three new pages!

Don’t forget! Our IndieGoGo campaign starts November 1st and you can get signed up to be reminded when it goes live, right now!

We’re going fully live and accepting pledges on November 1st, 2024. This will be my final crowdfunding endeavor of the year, and also my biggest. That said, I haven’t made the goal so big it’s unattainable. We only have to raise $2,000 to get these books printed at their minimum quantity, and at $20 per book, that means I only need 100 folks at that level to sign-on! Cool!

Even if you can’t contribute, I hope you share our campaign! As you all probably know, I have been doing Varulv and freelancing as my full-time job since February. I hope to keep doing so in the next year, and your support has made it all possible thus far. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

That’s it for this week, everyone! See you next week as our story continues with chapter 3!

All my Best,

Dawn

February 9, 2024: VARULV Classic Updates

The Final Classic Issues (2013): 7, 8 and 9 Are Now Available in the VARULV Classic Archives

Hey guys! Uploading the new VARULV Classic stuff today marks the end of VARULV Classic content. I hate leaving things on cliffhangers, but I’m afraid that’s how it went down, back in 2013 when these stories were first published.

So what happened?

Back when I was first doing the VARULV series, I was living with my husband in Ohio, preparing to take on more comic book work when I got a call from my parents. It was then I found out that my mother had cancer, and I made the decision to pack up everything and move back home to Pennsylvania. I became quite busy that year, and 2014 was full of highs and lows. Sadly, my mom eventually passed away, but my husband and I were fortunate to have a ray of sunshine come from behind that cloud in the form of our daughter, who was born right before mom’s passing.

When they say there are times in your life where you can cut the whole thing in half from what is and what was, I truly understand what that means, now. The year 2014 was like that for me. I came in as one person and left as a wholly different one. Unfortunately, most of my comic work didn’t come with me. But things are different now, and I am glad that I am able to reboot VARULV with the same amount of excitement it enjoyed in years past. To that end, I hope you all have enjoyed looking back on what was, and are looking forward to what will be.

And I understand that some of you will definitely feel cheated, not knowing what happens on several fronts at Issue #9’s abrupt conclusion. So with that in mind, read on only if you want to hear about what might have been, if the series had been able to continue a decade ago…

The following is not canon to the new storyline, but has the potential to be spoilery as it remains a source of inspiration to the overarching VARULV plotline. Read with caution!

January 26, 2024: VARULV Classic Updates

Posted on January 26, 2024 by VARULV

Issues 5 & 6 (2012) Are Now Available in the VARULV Classic Archives

Welcome again, gentle reader, to an update centered around another addition to the VARULV history books. Today, I have collected back-issues #5 & #6 of the original VARULV series for your reading enjoyment.

This story arc is an interesting one for several reasons. Introducing new characters is always fun, and in these old books, readers got introduced to four major players in the VARULV canon: Keni Nefertari, Alo Koruh, Tau Feng, and Wyn. This is also the first time VARULV was produced in color, and became serialized weekly, online. Needless to say, the art style is quite different from what came before (and what was to come, after), as the author was still trying to work out a look that was feasible for her to cram into an already crowded schedule, as a weekly webcomic.

As with most things in these archival pieces, the current canon is going to differ significantly from what can be gleaned from this story. That said, please enjoy this walk down memory lane:

January 13, 2024: VARULV Classic Issues

Posted on January 13, 2024 by VARULV

Hey guys,

Just spent the morning porting the first four issues of VARULV from a hundred years ago (okay, more like 13 years ago…) over here. So, those of you who have been asking to see those – rejoice! They’re here:

Click Here to Check out VARULV Classic

If there’s interest, I’ll upload the remaining issues, too. And fear not — if you don’t feel like taking a trip down memory lane, there’s no need. The new VARULV updates are going to be a complete rehashing of the old stories, and different in a lot of significant ways. Therefore, these are presented here as a preservation of the series’ history, and are in no way going to affect the current canon. Enjoy!
