I overlooked uploading this earlier. I wanted to give the Otto/Diana story a more hopeful ending. Many of us have had romantic obsessions and suffered for them, but there is hope for a new day, guys.

QV09 page 98 art

Otto gets a lesson on love that I had to re-learn myself not too long ago. I suspect other guys may need to hear this as well. One more page to go.

QV09 page 97 art

We end This Means War with a wrap-up of the Diana/Otto relationship. First, she is decanted from her Lazarus Tank, then, he tries to kiss her -- but is rebuffed .
BTW that painting on the wall was an actual painting I inherited from my father, and hangs on the wall in my studio. It was one of several he purchased during one of his trips to Eu...

QV09 page 96

Li's first private conversation with Alyss in two centuries. Will her frostiness subside? Time will tell.

QV09 page 95 art

The centuries-old banishment is lifted (like it was ever really enforcable anyway) but the resentment that spawned it remains.

QV09 page 94 art

A bit of copypasta in the last panel, but William makes a pretty good case for his client, I think.

QV09 page 93 art

Tying up some loose ends (though not all of them), we get hints of what will happen to the surrendered Invaders, and Situ Li-Liang gets an audience.

I will upload one or two of these art pages each day until the new story starts.

Here's a Quick Reminder:

The Not-Safe.Space 1 Kickstarter campaign ends tomorrow evening (10 pm Central Daylight Time), so if you want your good, clean smut, don't forget to pledge!

And now, a word from La Bisnieta

Please support the Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign

Halfway there

Well, spank me.

We are halfway through the Not-Safe.Space Kickstarter campaign and it occurs to me that the announcements have been on the QUANTUM VIBE site and possibly not all of you are QUANTUM VIBE readers. Silly me.

So, if you haven't heard, I've been running a Kickstarter campaign for the first chapter of Not-Safe.Space...

QV09 page 92 art

The gang discovers what happened to the planet Shārén. They're appalled at first, but realize this event could work in their favor.

QV09 art page 91

The city returns to its proper location. But, there's a problem?

QV09 page 90 art

There's no need to fear, Hugo Galvez is here! I think. A fair bit of copy-pasta here but it works.

QV09 page 89 art

Hugo has a knack for showing up when the situation looks grim.

Special Announcement

The Kickstarter Campaign begins

QV09 page 88

It's been a loooong time since I've had Bok, Alyss, and Zander on the same page. Pretty much everything after here is denouement, tying up loose ends.

QV09 page 87 art

It was around this time I started experimenting with putting Alyss' facial "seams" in the flats layer rather than the inks. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes I forget to put in the seams when I'm doing the flats.

QV09 page 86

It hasn't been fully revealed in the story but Sheldon is not only Alyss' friend he's also her counselor.

QV09 page 85

Well, at least we know Alyss still has a conscience. I wonder if anyone will take her to arbitration?

QV09 page 84 art

Sometimes rage gets the best of us.

QV09 page 83

How did I fall 10 pages behind? Well, putting together the Kickstarter for my other strip, Not-Safe.Space, was part of the reason. Anyway, catching up now. I'll try to post a page a day here until I'm caught up.

Not-Safe.Space 1 Kickstarter video (first pass)

What do y'all think? I do plan to tweak the transitions a bit, but I wanted to show you what I've been working on. The regular N-S.S continues next week.

QV09 page 82 art

A fair bit of copy-pasta here but I think keeping those ships in place relative to one another actually helps the action read more clearly.

QV09 page 81 art

Doing that fade-out with Hugo's hopper involved working on more CSP layers than it should have, but I think the results were worth it.
That whole "wheeze-rump" and fade-in and out bit is something Hugo cooked up to fulfill a childhood fantasy, but it also facilitates popping-in and out of an enclosed space without creating an explosive or imp...

QV09 page 80 art

Wherein Hugo and Murphy explain how Sharen was destroyed, and the Free Cosmos Project leaders realize this is their moment.

QV09 page 79

Wherein we learn what happened to the other end of the "Rainbow Bridge"

QV09 page 78

That crazy bitch won't quit. She'll get us all killed. We can't stop her, but you can.

QV09 page 77 art

We will sell no wine before it's time.

QV09 page 76

Okay, you knew Jean-Luc was going to defect, didn't you?

QV09 page 75

Wherein Amelia Orme-Colbert unwittingly seals her own fate.
