Happy New Year everyone! It's been a while since our last update, and so here is another update. PREPARE TO BECOME UPDATED!

We've been working behind the scenes on quite a few things. Aside from Skies are Falling and volume 2 of Transmissions, we've got a new story by Eric Carter in the works. I can't share the title or the plot of the comic yet, but I can say it concerns the Xotron and it's a collaboration between Brandon Leach and Shoham "Leo" Charikar, two artists that have each created a considerable amount of concept art for us when we were still in pre-production mode. Here's some past Carpe Chaos concept art from Brandon, a Porg ship:

And here's some past Carpe Chaos concept art from Leo, a Porg city:

The story should be about 35 pages and it should be AMAZING! I've added Brandon and Leo to the About the Team page, with portraits painted by the very same Leo. Check out their biography snippets if you want to look them up on DeviantArt.

We've added another comic to our ad rotation, which brings us to a total of 9 advertisers. If you haven't clicked these links yet, they're all worth your attention:

• Over the Wall (new!)
• Stupid Snake
• BuyIndieComics.com
• Story Posters
• Nathan Sorry
• Supermassive Black Hole A*
• PrinceLess
• reMIND
• Amya

Other news: We got into Comic Con again! So we'll be there this July at small press table Q-13, just like last year! Already looking forward to it!

That's about it. Just focusing on making comics, making comics, making comics. Mmm mmm comics.

• ALLCAPS MODE, DEACTIVATE! Chapter 4 of Transmissions from Fara Nexa is coming soon. The first page should be posted either Monday or Tuesday of next week. Probably Tuesday. But the sad news is that we are slowing our release rate to 1-2 pages per week for the foreseeable future. Please don't think that Carpe Chaos is ending or anything like that. It's just that we've been pushing ourselves for over two years to post (on average) more than a page every two days and because this project hasn't caught fire in the way that we'd hoped, we're slowing down to reclaim a bit of our personal lives :-). Thank you for being a fan of Carpe Chaos up to now and I hope you'll stay with us because we've got some crazy awesome things planned for Transmissions Volume 2, more suspense-filled mystery in Skies are Falling, and even more stories on the horizon. And hopefully some more free wallpapers :-)
• And because that means you'll probably be checking our site less often, I really hope that you'll consider adding your email address into the form below, so that any time a new chapter is completed or this blog is updated, you'll get an email to notify you. It's a surefire way to keep up on Carpe Chaos, and it'll make sure you're covered in case you miss a tweet, facebook post, google+ post, deviantart update, etc. And you'll want to know when we launch our second-try kickstarter campaign next year, right?!

Stay tuned, and I hope you'll come see me at APE if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area in October,

Time again for a monthly NEWS ROUNDUP! Here's some Carpe Chaos news... FOR YOU!!

• The first three chapters of Skies are Falling are done! The story's going to be on a break for a couple of months while we continue the Transmissions saga, but it will return when volume 1 of Transmissions is done!
• Meanwhile chapter 3 of Transmissions Volume 1, otherwise known as Transmissions from Fara Nexa, has begun! We're uploading new pages all this month, with a new page every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. And when chapter 3 is done we're planning on going straight to chapter 4, which will conclude Volume 1.
• Eric will be at San Diego Comic Con next weekend, July 12th through the 15th! If you're going, please please please give him a visit at small press table Q 13. He'll be there with all of our books, posters, shirts, papercraft models, bookmarks, and more! Everyone who stops by will get a free papercraft Porg and papercraft Kaean to put together.
• We've got another wallpaper for everyone... This one is from chapter 2 of Transmissions from Fara Nexa, and it was drawn by Anthony Cournoyer! OBSERVE (click for larger):
  
  
  

  
  

Not much else to say ... We're pretty busy preparing for the show next week! It's too bad I can't make it but at least I'll be at APE in October :-)
