Hello, Xyliacs! Second update this week!
Ha! Some of you guessed right…Damara in the mirror. (The title page kind of gave it away a bit. And the watch! Started! So now what! (well, there is a spoilery sneak peek on the XYliatales onair talkshow…)
Remember, Nigel’s Opus updated today too!
We are well on our way to another two update week- once we hit $200.00 on the meter! Thank you everyone for your generous donations! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have trouble downloading or receiving images. On that note- a new donation incentive has been added! Baby Adora! Xylia and Livy babies are still available as well as many other goodies on the donation site:
Downloadable print Xylia nudes are still available too-(IF you’re over 18):
Next month, we will kick off a new contest! This is a ‘voice over’ contest, where you can submit your audio entries ‘auditioning’ for the voice of any character in the Xylia universe! Stay tuned for the guidelines at the end of April.
The third installment of the Xyliatales On Air Talk Show was lots of goofy! You can click below to go to the site and watch the recorded broadcast. We had a nice group of guests- the chat went from bagged milk to Dragonball Z and many points in between. I also created a Livy speedpaint! Check it out! Next week- we’ll be back at 9PM CDT!

Today’s question is continued- and related to Xyliatales On Air Show- what types of things would you like to see me do as topics? I was going to work on pages, but it’s really problematic for me to do, and also, I don’t want to do any spoiling. But are there things that you all think would make good subjects to discuss or show?
Please vote TWC- A couple of concept sketches I made while I was writing this chapter but never used…
See you Monday!
Thank you for reading!
Hugs,

Oh! She’s pretty!
Yey! Back to Epsilon!

Isn’t that Xylia’s mom? Hmm . . .

Oh my…this is great, and isn’t that Xylias mom?
Well no matter what this was great, and I am all excited now when it is time for our boy to return to epsilon.

Um… did I miss it somewhere? Who’s Damara?
April 23rd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
It’s ok Aikoe, you didn’t -really- miss anything. This is Damara’s first official introduction in the series. She was featured on the cover page of this chapter, but nothing more.
She has been shown in vote incentives, spoilers, and teaser art though. So some people might know a little more about her than others. But the average reader is perfectly fine to ask, “Who is she?” Claudius is asking the same thing.

Beautiful effects in this page…you really get a sense of the brilliance of the light. Looking forward to more as always!

Thank you for the comments!

Kyastar- don’t get too excited yet. ^_^
Tinkerwinks- yes it is- (those of you who have seen the sketches and incentives will recognize Damara as the wife of Xenor, Xylia’s dad…but if you havent’ seen that – like CT said, it’s not necessary for you to know that!
MCat- thank you! I was trying to get that brilliant look on the page!
See you all Monday~

Oh snap, that almost seems too good to be true. So, it probably is. Bait and switch? Heh, knew it.

@Barb: What?! We’re not going back to Epsilon?? You’re just messing with my mind now.
April 25th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
This is awesome! I’m excited. Mainly about the “Xylia has waited long enough.” part
YAY!

Wasn’t there Xylia merchandise on Cafe Press at one time, or am I misremembering? I can’t find any links to a Xylia shop on your page, so I was wondering if that was the case and if so, are you still on CP? You may already be aware of the changes they’re planning to put in place on June 1st, when they will make it so that anything a designer sells through the marketplace earns them only a 10% royalty. As if that’s not bad enough, I learned recently that if someone goes to your shop and adds one of your items to their cart and THEN goes to the MP and picks up something else, CP counts the item from your shop as an MP sale as well, so even though they got it directly from you and NOT the MP, you still only get 10%.
I wanted to give you a heads up in case you didn’t already know. This is bad news for anyone who’s invested their time and energy in CP and hoped to make a living off of it.

Hey PrarieGhose, totally missed you comment somehow.
There is still a cafepress xylia shop… I’ll try to pass this info on to Barb. Thanks for the heads up!
