Heaven and Hell have something in common; they both need reliable accounting. Angel or devil, Gray Associates, CPAs doesn't judge. Instead the firm offers neutral financial services with guaranteed security & discretion. The fact that the Night Office Manager is a sultry vampire named Vanessa should be of no particular consequence to a dutifully focused accountant. Until Valentine's Day.
“Vampire Holidays” is the latest title from Vivid Publishing. Read the first installment for free via e-book:
Which, Angel or Normal, any accountant can verify is an optimal value proposition. Subsequent holidays will track the romance and intrigue as it unfolds, for a modest entry into the ledger. Look forward to Chapter 2, coming this July 4th.

Science continues. An unfinished Tinsel sketch, versus yesterday's fully rendered landscape. Which art will emerge victorious?
Let the Internet proceed to calculate the result.
What's more evocative- a fully rendered landscape, or sketchy boobies?
Let's test. Today I'm sharing a piece of background art intended for the Dreamkeepers sidescroller video game. Tomorrow I'll share a commissioned sketch for a Tinsel daki. (I think they've both been shared on Patreon already.)
Any scientists in the audience may then analyze the data- although, of course, we intend to fuse the appeal of landscapes and sketchy things in Dreamkeepers comics and games.
If you're too hot, stare at this until the problem is corrected. Commissioned OC for a Patreon backer- enjoy, and stay cool this summer.
The VAULT will reside at the Anthrocon Dealer’s Table of the World’s Greatest Furry Artist. But it’s locked! AC attendees will have to complete the challenges below to gain access the Vivid content within. There are packages for 20 people.
During Anthrocon weekend, we’ll be monitoring twitter for posts that use both the #Dreamkeepers and #Anthrocon2019 hashtags. Post proof that you have completed your challenge, and we’ll publicly reply to the earliest post with the associated clue. Anyone who receives a Clue is automatically one of the 20 VAULT reward recipients. Happy hunting.
CHALLENGE 1: BONEITIS.
Convince Boneitis you are the coolest. Make your case, and he will choose one winner at 3:00pm Saturday and deliver CLUE #1.
CHALLENGE 2: EXPLAIN GRUNN.
Today, Grunn is your Original Character (donut steel.) Commission an artist, and explain to them how your character is this cool drunken shark who loves porn and beats children. Post their reaction.
We will reply to you with CLUE #2.
Bonus- if you also share the finished art of Grunn, we will provide any other Clue of your choice.
CHALLENGE 3: SURROUNDED!
Get a selfie of 3 Dreamkeepers readers surrounding one Anthrocon security volunteer. Readers should be sporting the Dreamkeepers logo, via shirt or by holding up a book. Bonus if you give one to the security person.
We will reply to you with CLUE #3.
CHALLENGE 4: WHIP SPEAKS.
Finally Whip has something to say! But what? Somewhere in the Dealer’s Room, Whip is piping up. Get a selfie of yourself with this Whip and the booth he is at.
We will reply to you with CLUE #4.
CHALLENGE 5: LANDMARK
Pittsburgh has some great landmarks. Post a photo of you and 2+ friends on a bridge, under a statue, or somewhere that looks awesome.
We’ll reply with CLUE #5.
CHALLENGE 6: THE WAR OF ART.
Set up a game of Skirmish in the game room. Choose your all-time favorite character matchup, and explain to social media why it’s the best matchup in your view. Play an enemy. If you win, you get the code. If they win, they get the code. Announce the winner and loser on twitter, and we will reply with CLUE #6.
CHALLENGE 7: DRUNKEN MASTER.
Get a fellow contestant drunk, and post video of them reciting the plot of Dreamkeepers Volumes 1-3 in 30 seconds or less. We will reply to you with CLUE #7. Bonus if you can explain how to tell the Indigos apart.
CHALLENGE 8: GOTTA BE FAST
Snap a pic of the Guest of Honor, with a friend photobombing in the foreground or background with a Dreamkeepers logo visible (Shirt, book, plush, game, whatever.) We’ll reply with CLUE #8.
Once you have all the clues, you can open the VIVID VAULT. Go to Boneitis, the Keeper of the VAULT. Inside the VAULT will be your rewards- there will be a package for you, and 19 more identical packages for your friends and fellow Clue receipients.. Enjoy!
Fine print: Follow all of America’s awesome laws, plus Anthrocon convention policies. Get an OK from subjects before slamming pics / recordings on social media. Have fun and don’t die.

The latest Prelude update:
Vanth has ambitious specifics in mind for her showdown with Bast.
We got some great VIVID VAULT ideas! The final challenges to unlock the VAULT will be announced in June.
Though we can’t make Anthrocon, we will be running Couchcon online- bigger and better than ever, launching Friday July 5th. http://www.vividpub.com/couchcon
Some of our Couchcon vendors are plotting tempting sales for the event, and we can preview the number and price of our planned commission slots:
(1) Full color, full background, unlimited characters commission $350
(1) Full background, unlimited characters polished pencil lineart commission $180
(2) Color added to any previous lineart commission $150
(2) 1-3 characters, no background, polished pencil lineart $150
(3) Single character polished lineart $100
(10) Quick Sharpie Doodles, single character $5
Also, SKOM is returning for Couchcon. But instead of Sketch of the Month, it will be Sketch of the Many. Every Mastermind backer will submit an idea in June, and every idea will be created as a quick sharpie doodle. We’ll put the ideas to a vote, and complete the winner as a pencil drawing.
Sketch of the Many will only happen once or twice a year- the Monthly Vivid Poll is our new every-month art generator. This month, Commanding Vote backers chose to have us finish the Vi animation cycle.
She’s almost ready to show off- thanks for the great direction everyone, more announcements and art to come.
Ready or not, summer beckons. Art of some fabulous OCs from Patreon- we'll be opening up new slots during Couchcon, this July. Stay in the loop with our newsletter: https://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/EmailNewsletter.htm

Happy Mother's Day! Commission for Sapphire from Anthrocon 2014.

Catching up on e-mails, and hey, people have been buyin' shirts and books and stuff. Thank you! https://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/Store.html Clearly a discerning audience. Pic attached from the last 'Sketching with Dave' stream.
Contemplation below a starscape of risk. https://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/Prelude.php?pg=437
I tried to pull in some major use of negative space, and I think this approach helps the landscape outside the windows pop nicely. This week's Prelude! High resolution backers, your PSD file is posting momentarily.
One show you can enjoy during Vivid’s July Couchcon- watching VAULT contestants.
There’s a locked Vault at Anthrocon, filled with Vivid Publishing goodies for the readers who can open it.
But to receive parts of the code, Anthrocon attendees must complete certain… challenges. Once proof is posted online of their achievements, they unlock another clue to the code.
There will be at least seven challenges. But now for the fun part:
What are they?
Well what would you like to see, fellow internet?
Suggest life-altering hijinks for contestents to perform, live at Anthrocon.
It’s a group of determined people at the world’s second biggest furry convention. Let your imagination run wild- let’s make it fun for contestants, and fun for us, the studio audience.
Comment below with challenge brainstorms.
If we use your idea, I’ll mail you a copy of something from The Vault.
I’m looking forward to Couchcon.
Nearly done with the character pages in the Skirmish Strategy Guide (The first licensed Dreamkeepers tabletop game https://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/Game.html )
A quiet moment can mean a lot. We're just lucky Igrath happened to be pointing the right direction this time around. Last week's Vote Incentive, a new one up now: http://topwebcomics.com/vote/25545
Vanth forgot her backpack, and also to develop a good alibi. Or any alibi. This week's Prelude update: https://www.dreamkeeperscomic.com/Prelude.php?pg=436
Enjoy on our free mobile app, which has successfully clawed its way back into the Google Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.latticerose.dreamkeepers&hl=en
Last Monthly Vivid Poll, the winning vote was Vi kicking ass, animated. I tackled rough and cleanups in order to try out some new techniques- B&W animation posting tomorrow.
Magnificent news! The EPF devs have delivered text for the Strategy Guide / Art Book, and we are in production. It's going fast.
Troika Hero pages will be finished today, Nightmares next week, and printing soon after. This is going to be a pretty book.
If anyone still needs their copy of Skirmish, we unlocked a crate for Couchcon so some are in stock: https://vivid-publishing.mybigcommerce.com/games/
Putting this Guide together makes me want to play. Once everything is delivered, it'll be time to think about planning some meets or a tournament or something.
Sibu leaping into action for the CCA- a Dreamkeepers commission we posted to Patreon awhile back. Love this OC, it's always a treat when we get to draw her.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUcnxPmWeYI Liz put together a video featuring her recent work with fully articulated Plush- here's Vi, with a variety of costuming / expression changes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUcnxPmWeYI
Motor City Fur Con and Couchcon had me hopping this week- so have a belated vote incentive! http://topwebcomics.com/vote/25545 New one up now. High Resolution backers, your 4K version coming in a few minutes.
Emerging from chuckling speculation, this Prelude has been brewing for a couple years. We didn't expect the subject to posthumously explode into the headlines again, but this idea still makes us laugh, so here it is!
We'll be at Motor City Furry Con this weekend, and our dealer table has been extended online during Couchcon: http://www.vividpub.com/couchcon
Skip the line- first Couchcon is this weekend!
http://www.vividpub.com/couchcon
Our dealers go live online with everything you can dream of. Some of them are running special weekend discounts.
We're going to offer some special stuff too:
Commission slots, hand-painted figurine sets, Troika patches and keychains, buttons, original pencil art, Vivid Publishing Sketchbooks, and more- but quantities are limited.
There will be one $180 full-background pencil commission slot. Three $150 1-3 characters polished lineart commission slots. Five $30 single character sketch commission slots. Ten $5 sharpie-doodle commission slots.
And we will be cracking open a case of Skirmish games to be available for sale during Couchcon. Everything will go live in our online store this Thursday night, before midnight. We'll message backers right before we make the items live in our online store, so you have the best crack at snagging what you like. New content will be in the Dreamkeepers / Merchandise room.
https://vivid-publishing.mybigcommerce.com/dreamkeepers/merchandise/
Free bookmark included with every Couchcon order. Thank you to everyone enjoying the story, and helping us carry on. We're excited to bring you more- new Volume 5 page coming to Patreon and Dark Market backers tomorrow.
