Two Days Left for the In Our Dreams Awake Issue 2 Kickstarter!
***
Throughout this Kickstarter campaign I’ve written a few posts on In Our Dreams Awake, so this post will put them into a more comprehensive guide so that you don’t have to go stumbling through the Tessera archives in order to locate things.
Repost – Behind the Comic: In Our Dreams Awake
This post actually comes from the first issue’s Kickstarter, but it tells the origin story for the comic. Going back nearly two decades, the comic went from something we hoped would be our way into the comic industry to something collecting dust on a computer hard drive to finally a series.
Behind the Comic: – Anatomy of a Panel – In Our Dreams Awake #2
An idea which actually came from Egg Embry when I was struggling on how to post about The Gilded Age. This post takes you through the development of a panel from issue 2 of In Our Dreams Awake. Going from the concept, to an excerpt from the script, to the art itself (and the panel itself is the image from the banner at the top of this post).
Odd Synchronicity?
A little more of a stream of conciousness style post that focuses on little moments which lead to the comic coming to life.
What If?
A post about the core concept of In Our Dreams Awake… trying to find happiness in the life you have rather than always yearning for the path not taken.
The Reason Why – In Our Dreams Awake
Finally, the true reason I dragged In Our Dreams Awake back from the land of the dead.
Kickstart the Comic – In Our Dreams Awake #2: A Cyberpunk/Fantasy Adventure
I started doing a highlight post on Kickstarter some years ago on the blog, so it was only fitting to do one for my own comic (totally unbiased too… honest).
