Heya folks….Sorry for the lack of updates, but lots going on behind the scenes here at Darkstar. We have been working on comics, some stuff for some clients, and of course, the new site.

I know I have mentioned the new site a few times, but still really have nothing to show for it. I admit I fell behind after a nasty DB error brought my work to a halt, but I have been very productive the last couple of weeks and hopefully will have the new site up and running soon. We will be adding all kinds of new things…That includes comics as well. Last year we finalized plans with a very talented and well established artist who has been in the comics game for some time and Darkstar will be the exclusive home of one of his many titles when the site relaunches, so we are very psyched for that. However, we still have an open roster spot and we are still very much looking for our next member of the Darkstar family…So I shall you refer you to our submission page located here in case you or a friend are interested in placing your name or comic in the hat!

Next up is our convention schedule…We currently only have 2 conventions planned for 2012, and this is because I have been doing cons non-stop since 05. Now early on I was helping out for a certain anime company, but after that I went into webcomics and have been non-stop since then (this of course doesn’t include when I was just an attendee back from 99-03). So we are just doing two this year…One being Katsucon since we count that as the last con of the 2011 season…Yeah I know it’s 2012, but it’s just how our stuff works. The other convention will be our hometown convention Animazement (pending application review) to close it all out. We are not just doing this to take a break, but also to re-organize for our return in 2013, when we will finally start expanding out west. We aren’t sure which cons we will hit just yet, but we are open to suggestions so let us know or let your local cons know you want to see us there and maybe they will give us a ring haha.

Finally…2011 was a great year for Darkstar…Our viewership doubled, which means we also received more feedback on the site and our comics, which I can happily say was mostly positive. We don’t try and pretend to be something we’re not….We just want to draw comics and hope in that process that you folks find them enjoyable because without you guys we wouldn’t really be having this conversation….So from the bottom of our hearts here at Darkstar…Thank you and we hope you have a great 2012!
