Preorders are open for Akaelae TPB #1 ... in FULL COLOR. There is also a digest version which is in black and white. Color's expensive. :D Preorders END on May 18th when I submit the order and should be in near the end of June.
The first selection button is for the FULL color book, which is comic book sized, perfect bound and contains 189 pages, books 1 - 5 all in one nice package. If you ALREADY have books 1-5, you have all the content in this book save for three pages of watercolors. Please note that you are international if you do not live in America, Canada or Mexico. The price of the book unsigned on Indyplanet will be $39. The prices below include shipping. All will be signed. If you select w/ Extra Art you can get a 4" x 6" black and white inked drawing with your purchase of whatever character you choose. ALTERNATIVELY, you can SAVE $5 if you pay using a gift card to the following stores, since it helps me out by not having money in my account that my husband thinks is ... spendable. :P I've linked directly to the gift card page if you want to order and not be bothered with going into a store to purchase and mail a card. Albertson's, Tom Thumb, Kroger, Target, Wal-mart and Market Street are the most important. Gas cards are also nice as well as cards to AMC (But I only want one of those). ;) I'm not sure if there is an option to enter a specific amount to put on a card when ordering online, I know usually stores allow you to put an amount on some cards, but not all. You might try this site for a good deal on gift cards. You can also pay with paypal, cash or credit card, just PLEASE send me an E-mail to paypal at@at shivae.com before using any method other than the one below!
Payments should be sent to the following address if not using paypal. BE sure to include your REAL name and Email so I can easily connect you to the emailed notice of order. :D

Final note: Entering a character name with the signed edition will not result in extra artwork. :)
And now, for the 198 page black and white manga version of the above.. it's MUCH cheaper. :D I can't really offer the same discount for using a gift card to pay me as the above. Unsigned the books will probably be about the same on Indyplanet without signing and shipping.
Oh.. and if you want to order the 52 page Genoworks Saga collection, full comic book sized publication with black and white interiors, you can add it to your cart from this page. This is meant to be ADDED to the above, not as a separate order! It's $5.
You can order other books through Indyplanet!
Actually, it’s more that my style has changed over the years and with it, characters get adjustments that ‘fit’ them better. This image, btw, is the cover for the first Akaelae collection, books 1-5 all together in one neat 189 page graphic novel in full color or black and white.. since the full color book runs $45. 😀 The black and white one is $15.
LOL! I find this hilarious Tiff. Your little LJ box sez something about free chicken, and here we have Darius packing up and leaving for somewhere. Mayhaps he’d like some free chicken as well? 🙂
Great pic Tiff. Darius looks good with a cocky grin.
OK, I rarely if ever say this, but youthful or not, all I can say is that I can see why Sheana wants him! He’s handsome there, in that girl-getting way!
@lorenith
I see alot of those 2 minute IQ internet test games spawning all over the internet. They are all grossly inaccurate and complete bs. First off it takes a licensed professional 10-50 minutes to perform the test. The official test created to test IQ was and is developed by a government passed administration team.
Then again internet tests is somewhat accurate, you can sort out the lesser intelligent members of society by those who fall for those bs “tests”.
I’m not sure why you felt the need to tell me about IQ tests.
Nothing new to me anyway, my mom is a trained psychologist, and has used me as a guinea pig when learning to administer various tests including IQ tests.
Furthermore as someone going through college to become a teacher I *also* have had to learn about IQ tests because it’s part of my child development courses among other things.
I’m just posting a screenshot to it because Tiff was asking for asking for screencaps and links and stuff so she could get rid of it.
I had a dream where one of my friends had some machine thing that let us turn into other forms. We got into many, fun forms and it was a great dream. But the reason I’m telling you is because the first form he came out in ( i didn’t know about the machine then) was Vincent. I’m blaming this one on you Tiff. But It was nice to have a dream involving a different one of your comics than Alien Dice.
@lorenith I’m not quite sure why you felt the need to tell me about your social life and your mother. You could always email Tiff instead of posting it in comments, but hey. Whatever hits your fancy.
Bios and status claims on the internet are less than credible.
Anyways I look forward to the release of the akaelae collection.
Probably for the same reason you felt a need to randomly try to blow up your ego telling the world what you know about IQ tests when it was completely irrelevant and unnecessary.
I had a dream recently in it my friend had a machine that let us change our bodies. anyways, one of his first forms was of Vincent. Awesome dream, thanks Tiff. It was also kind of nice to dream about another one of your comics than Alien Dice.
Actually, no you’re very wrong of your little assesment, but I’m going to listen to Tiff’s wishes and not stoop low enough to really respond to this giant pile of drivel you felt a need to post.
Darakhoranon: It’s going to be a couple of months while Tiff works out the script and cameo appearances. It was announced in the news posts, but such announcements are sometimes missed.
Genoworks Saga is now updating Monday, Wednesday and Friday instead.
Ok, now that I’ve FIXED the issue, I get EVERY comment in my email when it’s posted so that’s normally how I watch all the different sites. When I say ‘knock it off’ that means: I’m going to START DELETING THINGS, because while one or both members of the ‘discussion’ may be enjoying it, chances are… nobody else is.
And Akaelae will actually be back in two weeks. 😉 I already have the first update inked and ready to color. Mainly because I don’t think I can make it inking three full pages of Genoworks Saga at a time. 😀 Over 1 and a half of Akaelae plus one GS.
@hariman: Yeah, i got that. But the words on this image DO say “We’ll be RIGHT back”. So asking what exactly that means when you’ve read the news posts (which mentioned, after all, a longer wait – as you said)… 😀
Hurray! only two weeks! How about Tom-Huckle Darius-Sawyer-Bury Akaelae Finn? That would be a fun name to try and teach a first grader to spell. 😀
I’m just surprised something as simple as irrelevant comments could go so far and so vicious so fast. I mean come on I could do that right now. I could totally blow minds right with irrelevancy, turning into piles of mush from boredom. But instead I’ve decided to state the guiding principle of life for those who know what it means:
MC=MB.
See, totally off topic. Now to wait for bitter criticism…
Nonsense, proper non-run-on, non-trailing off, real word sentences aren’t necessary, I mean sheesh, if I uses proper grammars I might actually get further in life, and whom want that…

I wonder he’s off too…(Probaly to the nearest place with food :P) I like the way he hikes. I’m the first one? o.O
Stray
I want to go camping now…. or at least hiking….
Xeph
Me: Oh wow, Just where are you going Darius?
Darius: Heh, that’s for me to know.
(At least, that’s the impression I get from his face, like he’s feeling smug about something.) =D
Tom Redlion
I like this one. Darius, just out for a hike in the woods.
I rather enjoyed watching this one being painted.
Elithril
Wow, is it just me or does Darius look a lot younger than we’re used to seeing him?
Maybe it’s the lack of normal bulky (but lightweight and classy) clothes used for school uniforms?

Well he certainly looks smug.

hariman
He’s obviously going to stop at a KFC. Then go fishing. For chicken.
When doesn’t Darius look smug?
Vurk
Is that Darius? He looks good, but wasnt he more muscular when he was younger?
I liked the more athletic-looking Darius. 🙁

It’s Darius we haven’t seen him in a looooong time!!! Looks like someone wants to go camping.
Victor Voracious
I find Darius bears a resemblance to Tom Sawyer for some reason.
Ben
Beautiful art, as always!

Huckleberry Darius?
Or Darius Sawyer?

Ok, let’s not see people getting at each other right now.
hariman
Yojimbo: Darius Finn?
the sleeping pants
My vote is for Darris Sawyor.
I had a dream recently in it my friend had a machine that let us change our bodies. anyways, one of his first forms was of Vincent. Awesome dream, thanks Tiff. It was also kind of nice to dream about another one of your comics than Alien Dice.
Marcwolf
Awwww… Cuteness personified..
Need I say more.
Tom Redlion
@Hariman: Tom Darius? Tom Sawyer-Akaelae?
Crysm
Can we be done with the sniping back and forth at each other now? kthx

SQUID!
Can’t you two go someplace else if you really have to continue this?
Tiff, what does “we’ll be right back” mean? Next week? Next month? Tomorrow? 😀

Genoworks Saga is now updating Monday, Wednesday and Friday instead.

Gah! The link to Genoworks saga disappeared! D:
Tiff
You think that’s bad … so has my login so I can’t get in and FIX THINGS.

Can’t say I get MC = MB. All we need is Darius’ middle name to complete that overly long name that nobody would ever use.
Two weeks? Woo hoo! Must. Do. Happy. Dance. In. Private. Must. Not. Embarrass. Self. Must. Resume. Speaking. In. Proper. Sentences!

First time reader, cool comic m8 am liking what I’ve seen so far 🙂
Flowerlark
Will you be selling GS through Indyplanet?
Tom Redlion
OK. Order placed.
Wallacoloo
Oh no! The link to order your book at IndyPlanet is broken too!
