comics for May 14, 2008 – 05/14/2008

Hi Xyliacs! Happy Thursday! ^_^

Quick notice on donation gifts-if you DO NOT have your Nigel’s Opus gift, PLEEEEASE email me to let me know- it means that the email didn’t go through, but I don’t know unless you tell me. You will not be upsetting me, or bothering me- you are ENTITLED to the donation incentives I promise here! Thank you everyone for your donations…remember if we don’t hit $800.00 no more two page updates in June.

It’s down to the wire and an incredibly close race with the wedding contest for our friends Adam and Brandie. Every vote counts, so please help them win by clicking this link! You can visit the Xyliacs forum to read their wonderful story on how they met.

Still working out the Claudius wallpaper thing. Here is one at the highest size PhotobucketClaudius wallpaper.

Vote, TWC please! Today’s pic is a complete panel from today’s page that got cropped all to bits. You get to see more of Claudie in his natural state (without exposing any…uh…naughty bits.)

Thank you for continuing to download Talismen. Return of the Exile Volume I will be presented as Wowio downloads in four montly issues for US readers. Hopefully to be available soon to other countries. Please click the cover of the comic to go to Wowio! It’s free for you, makes us some money. Thank you. Chapter 2 comes out next month, and we will be posting the first issue of Xylia in July!

The Xyliacs Club is the place to go to discuss all things Xylia, Corgis, movies, books, and anything else you can think of!

Let me say again, thank you everyone for donating to Xylia! Your donations keep me going, and we are working towards the goal of another eight update month in June!!

Here’s the lowdown on how the donation gifts work:

We get to $800.00 on the thermometer- two updates a month in June!

-$1.00-$4.99-while these donations don’t get you the incentive story, they work towards getting the two page goal, and you will receive an illustration from the story.

-$5.00-$9.99- gets you Nigel’s Opus Chapter III (with a Chapter I & II synopsis)

-$10.00 – gets you Nigel’s Opus Chapter II & III (if you would rather have I and III, let me know)

-$15.00+- gets you Nigel’s Opus Chapter I, II, & III

As always, if you do not receive your gift within twenty-four hours, please email me!

If you or someone you know are looking for a groovy birthday or graduation gift- you might consider a commissioned caricature or portrait — I am taking commissions at this time. Here’s a sample of a wedding invite I did (click to see larger) Please email me for quote information (please put ‘caricature inquiry’ in the subject. bji2001@mchsi.com.

Finally, today’s update. I must admit that this is my favorite page of Xylia so far. I hope you all like it. If you knew this whole story in your head like I do- it would probably mean more to you. Also, it symbolically flipflops some visual story elements- heh…I just like things like that…I hope you do too.

That should do it for now! Thanks for reading and believing! See you Monday everyone!!
