QV on a short break

QUANTUM VIVE is taking a break for a few weeks, as we prepare for Part 2 of the Novo Palermo story, and also for a Kickstarter campaign for Part 1, which will start in September.

In the meantime, Not-Safe.Space will continue, as a murder mystery begins and the relationship between Eithne and Diana develops in unexpected directions.

Not-Safe.Space is a NSFW strip but more than half the pages are SFW so I've set those to *not* require a Patreon membership. Readers should be able to follow the story without seeing the NSFW pages. If I've done this right.

Panel 3

Arana: … I totally agree, it was crap.

Arana: Because it was intended to be crap.

Panel 4
Arana is now lleaning forward, resting one elbow on the desk and holding up a finger with his opposing hand, and grinning smugly.

Arana: Oh, I am proud to say there was some damned fine artistry involved, but it was con artistry.
