	The angry mountain has been put to rest, and so our earthies and torchies grab a quick respite before splitting up to do whatever is left to do. I don't envy any of them for where they have to go next. Some great blocking on this page, peppered with some fun little gags here and there - courtesy of Danny. This page is an introduction of sorts, or perhaps a lead-in to the moment a lot of you have been waiting for. I recently scripted the next five pages, so I can tell you that it should be one hell of a pay-off. I think some of you will be satisfied, and others may even find their jaws in their laps. We'll see... I will be finding myself up in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania this coming weekend for Horrorfind--an annual horror convention. I know - you're thinking, "Horror convention? What does that have to do with 2wcOnline or Draconia or dragons or tigers or anime or bread or compact SUVs with retractable cup holders or Meryl Streep's dog?" Nothing, sadly--except that your humble hack-writer Donnie Sturges does a bit of acting on the side for an independent film company in Charlottesville, Virginia called Darkstone Entertainment. I'm supposed to be up there to promote a three episode short film series called The Lovecraft Chronicles that was supposed to be included in the con's film fest, as well as debut on DVD for purchase. Unfortunately, that will not be happening. Seems there was a bit of a complication, and the short films did not make the deadline for inclusion into the film fest. Needless to say, I will be up there mostly on my own with nothing to promote. But, don't fret - if anyone (by a longshot) happens to be heading to that convention, you will see me there. Dunno if it's your cup of tea, but it's certainly mine. And I love tea. And horror films. And Meryl Streep's dog. The weekend after this one Danny and I will be at this newfangled convention called Intervention! Finally, a con for those who celebrate the world wide web! Web comics, web blogs, vlogs, flash animation, eBay, The Scott Baio Appreciation Page - if it's on the web, this convention heralds it! Danny and I are guests there and will be up to our usual shenanigans. You have two weeks to prepare. Come on up (or down, or sideways, or from the other dimension you hail from) to Rockville, Maryland and pay the con (and us!) a visit! That's all the news that's fit to print for me this week. See you in seven! -Donnie Sturges, head writer Email \| Facebook	Howdy, Draconiacs! Danny here. Right now, I feel about the same as the Palace Guard in panels 2 and 3--dead tired, but soldiering on nevertheless. I rather like how this page came out. After so many epic, grandiose shots of giant lava pools, it's nice to get back to character shots. Yes, close-ups are quicker to draw, but they also allow us to share a moment with individual characters. A nice change of pace. Those of you looking for a theme song for this page can pull up "Keep On Rollin'," by REO Speedwagon. And speaking of changes of pace, as Donnie alluded to, I received scripts earlier this week for the next five pages, and oh lordy, do we have one helluva bombshell that we're about to drop. I can't go into specifics right now, no matter how much I may be dying to do so, but some might be shocked, some overjoyed, and others possibly infuriated by the upcoming developments. And I know what it is, and you don't... ...Yet. Nanny-nanny-boo-boo! <raspberry> As we continue to grow our Cast section, we've got a new Character Spotlight to bestow upon you. This week, the big spotlight shines on Aika, a Tiger who knows how to have a good time. And a very busy convention season is ahead of us. As Donnie mentioned, he'll be wandering the halls at Horrorfind Weekend this coming Labor Day weekend. After that, the weekend of September 10, Donnie and I have been invited to be guests at the first-ever Intervention, a new convention targeting web culture, with appearances from noted webcomic creators and bloggers from across the web. And then, just one week after that, I'll be appearing once again at Anime Weekend Atlanta. Look for me in the Artist Alley, as always, with good times and great oldies, all back to back. And some new stuff, too... Like, perhaps, preorders for a certain *2011 Draconia Chronicles* Calendar. So it's gonna be a busy few weeks ahead of us, but don't fret, as we shall make sure you've got a new comic page every Monday. BANK ON IT~! Anyway, back to work for me. Take care, and thanks for reading! -Danny Valentini, artist & creator Email** \| Facebook \| Twitter \| FurAffinity (NSFW)
