Oh Hai!

So as I mentioned a little ways back we are going to be a Katsucon this weekend as guests and we will be doing all sorts of panels. Katsucon has a nifty little schedule system that helps you find panels you are interested in based on guest or topic and even give a heads up as to whether you are interested in attending the panel in question. So the point is if you want to see our panels (or avoid them altogether -_-), then head over to the schedule page and check it out.

CLEARANCE TIME!

The big news about this con is we are doing a blow out clearance! While we will be offering a few new prints (a possibly Pixie items!), we will be mainly focused on selling out our old inventory to make make way for all new stuff coming up soon. So….Shirts are our biggest discount as the price will be cut in half to $10 and that includes our best seller, the “Team Edward” shirt. We will also be offering good deals on all our prints and even more so when you buy in bulk. So stuff by the booth and i’m sure we can work out a deal on something, but to quote the local furniture TV ads….”EVERYTHING MUST GO!”

Our previous shirts didn’t really stick around (however, one could be returning very soon). Anyway, today we are introducing our new brightly colored “Anime Girls Dig Me” shirt and a new print from Ryan of the very awesome Batgirl!

Check them out below and click to head over to SR to take a closer look.

Hey folks!

Just a quick post about some new t-shirts we have in the store. We will possibly have a couple of more within the next week or so, and possibly some new prints as well! Click on the link below and check them out if you’re interested!

We have a little something special to announce today. While it’s not Darkstar related in the sense of our comic lineup, it does pertain to one of our artists.

Ryan Thompson is possibly one of the hardest working webcomic artists I have ever met. When I met Ryan he showed me his sketchbook and told me his ideas and a few months later I welcomed him aboard, but if you told me he would surpass 400 comics in only 3 years time I would have called you a liar.

Truth be told it still surprises me to this day how hard he works a this stuff and it inspires me to do more with my art as well (now that the sites updated haha). I can say in total honesty that Darkstar wouldn’t be the place it is today without him, so it brings me great pleasure to announce his latest comic endeavor.

Scenic Frolic which launched today is Ryan’s newest comic and has it’s very own home over at scenicfrolic.com/.

Just to be clear this is not a Darkstar comic, and because it isn’t doesn’t mean Ryan and I aren’t mad at each other, Fajita will stop updating, or anything like that. Ryan, much like any other comic artist has other projects and agendas in his life and while he is part of Darkstar, he is also his own person wit his own goals, so please head over to scenic frolic and support his efforts…Please.

Again…scenicfrolic.com/

Goodluck Bro

Hey folks!

First off i’m super sorry this took so long, but I want to thank everyone for baring with me. I feel like I have been working on this forever, but it sure doesn’t look that way and i’ll be the first to admit it. I was honestly working on Darkstar 3.0, but so much has happened over the last year in my life that completing a full site upgrade was tough and so I stuck with a upgrade instead. I admit the main point of 2.5 is so I could switch some things up on the back end while at the same time add some new features to the site. I also wanted to make it possible to add more features as we move forward an with this upgrade I can do so.

I will probably start on 3.0 in the very near future and that will be a complete restructuring of the site (what this was suppose to be), and hopefully have it launched next year at some point, but for now I hope you all enjoy the newest version of the site. I don’t mean to sound negative, so I will talk about some of the new positive improvements.

• We have expanded to a left hand column to add a bit more breathing room to the layout
• We have added new sharing options so you can share, like, and follow our comics on some of your fav social networks
• We added a new feature to the right column to show our latest comics. (this is still in beta)
• All comics now have full headers with a small bar at the top so you can navigate to different comics.

There are some other cool new features with others on the way. I will be making alot of changes as we move forward with this site, so you may experience some slight changes in the future as I make the site more user friendly. If you encounter any problems please don’t hesitate to contact me so i can try and correct the issue.

Our other exciting news is the latest addition to the Darkstar lineup. Assassin Pixie!

Assassin Pixie is written by Vincent Sneed and art by John Peters. Here is a little bit about John Peters from Facebook

John Peters (1962-2116) was a Freelance Illustrator and Comic Artist working out of a remote residential basement in Colorado. His many Comic works include Forty Winks and Pretty Female Assassin Pixie [with Vincent Sneed], Crazy Asian Girl [with Lonnie Allen] and the webcomic Gypsy! He made wands and lightsabers in his free time and watched WAY too much TV. Please chide, cajole, or otherwise force him to draw more.

We welcome John and Vincent to the Darkstar family and hope you enjoy their comic Assassin Pixie which currently has 6 comics already in the archive for you to enjoy. It will begin officially updating next week, so stay tuned as the update days will be announced soon.

I want to thank all our readers for your continued support and to keep a look out in the future as we will continue to add cool new features in the coming months!

Edit – I will be adjusting the look to the comments section on all the pages very soon. I just realized how odd i looks…Sorry about that.
