Description Page 1 / 10 of ‘Tendril’s Demise‘.

This ten page story was originally created to be included in the “Furnation Magazine Issue #9“, which is now out of print. Copies of the magazine may still be available at www.furnation.com or at their in-person table at Anthrocon, but be warned some of the other stories are very adult-themed. Only inquire if you are prepared for animal naughtiness.

Less adult themed, our story is more in the ‘monsters chasing Dreamkeepers‘ genre, in case you were wondering what to expect. Although printed black and white in the magazine, the pages were originally done in color, because honestly, what else could we do? It’s Dreamkeepers, I’m not sure if it’s possible to avoid saturating every scene with chroma.

We’ve been meaning to post these pages online for some time now, but had to an urge to do some rewriting first.

For those who own a copy of the magazine, you’ll have a chance to look at an equivalent rough draft of our dialogue go to a more polished, fun version. For those who don‘t, the original first page is here: [link] At the time we submitted this story to the magazine, we were a bit pressed for time, being in the midst of Volume 2 production. But having a year or two to reflect on the story, dialogue improvements seemed inexorable.

So here you go! This 10-page bit of story does fit in with the graphic novel storyline, but it’s obviously quite a stretch down the road from where we are now. We hope you enjoy!

Out of curiosity, why does this seem to be unavailable on your site now.

Ooh good call! thanks for bringing this up! It's because the digital versions were upgraded to graphicly's system and Tendril's Demise was neglected by accident. This will be dealt with sometime 8D

Oh, whoops! In all the excitement of getting the Graphicly editions of the books online, there seems to have been a hiccup on the site. We'll get to fixing that right away. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!

Sometimes I worry if you're getting enough sleep . . .

Because this looks like it would have taken you a long time

Actually, in recent years I've been getting healthy sleep. On balance, I'm more efficient and productive than when I try to cram a lot of work into a few days and then blowout afterwards.

Although I'd LOVE it if I didn't need to sleep at all - I could get so much more done!

And this is how Dreamkeepers should be- saturated with glowing colors, highly disturbing monsters, and smart-mouthed Namahs. ^^ Excellent work.

I came very close to making a loud SQUEEEE noise when I saw this.

I never got ahold of the Furnation magazine, and Tendril is one of my favorite nightmares y'all have created, by far.

Kal is pleased. Kal is very pleased.

MOAR.

You're still special! ...You have the original draft before our drastic dialogue revisions. Plus, even aside from all that, you are infused with inherent specialocity.

Wow, this is really cool. o.o And an unexpected treat! Makes me wish to be able to buy it printed in color (because, honestly, black and white really doesn't convey the same feeling of awe the colors inspire in you). Maybe you could include it as a bonus story into Volume 3? Or half into Vol 3 and half into Vol 4 or so as a little bonus. o.o Anyway, this looks fantastic and is really interesting! I like seeing their powers in this one - I was always curious how they'll manifest and it tells about what's going to come, wich is cool concidering I can't wait for Volume 3.

Anyway, awesome picture and an awesome little treat!

Dreamkeepers In reply to MeisterLi [2010-01-09 00:19:25 +0000 UTC]

Heh, including this in Volume 3 would be a fun idea, but that sucker is already running over it's pagecount as is. Although I do like the idea of having this included somewhere, at some point in time.
