Sivoa Issue 6 Online Ordering
posted by Dragonmun on 28 May 2009
Sivoa Issue 6 is finally availble for online ordering!
We appologize to all of you who were waiting patiently for us to get this set up. There was a unknown complication that prevented it from getting listed, but that's gone now.
Like with the other issues, the price of this has been dropped to $3.50 to compensate for shipping costs.

Central Florida Conventions...
posted by Dragonmun on 26 May 2009We here at Dragonmun Studios want to thank all of you who stopped by our table at JACON this last weekend. Your patronage is very much appreciated. We are trying to update the site with reports of all of the awesome things that we experienced, but it's taking a while since there is a lot to cover.
For those of you who wanted to know what the next show we are going to is, we respond with Anime Festival Orlando. There's a lot of neat things planned for that show, but you'll miss a good chunk of it if you don't at least look at the Orlandia events. Be sure to check them out!
Anime School House Rock
posted by Dragonmun on 27 Apr 2009This weekend, Heather Scott and Stephanie Chateau will be appearing at Anime School House Rock, a 1-day charity event oriented around raising funds for Westlake Preparatory School in Davie, Florida.
More information about the event (as well as directions on how to get there) can be found at the events website: http://animeschoolhouserock.webs.com/
Convention Updates
posted by Dragonmun on 16 Feb 2009It would appear that we at Dragonmun Studios have decided that we were going to cram-pack our year with conventions again, despite previous descisions to "take a break".
We're going to be kicking this off with MegaCon, where both Heather and Sarah (Spazz) will be helping with Panels and the like. After that we'll be hitting up JACON to see it off in it's final year.
We could pack this post with all of the events we have listed, but that's what we have the list located below (and to the left) for! :B
New Year Changes
posted by Dragonmun on 06 Jan 2009Although the party was nowhere near as big as those that some of you may have attended as the years rolled out of 2008 and into 2009, We here at Dragonmun Studios have been celebrating in our own little way.
As usual, this means UPDATES!
The biggest update is actually to one of our comics: Sivoa, which got a complete overhaul of the website so that we could provide more to you, our readers!
The second biggest update is located on the lovely and overpopulated MySpace servers, where the Dragonmun MySpace page, has been taken over by not just one, but the entire staff of Dragonmun Studios (whose biographies will be posted as soon as they send in their pictures BUWAHAHA!!!)
There are many more updates in the works and we would love to tell you what those are, but that would spoil things and nobody likes spoilers.
Server Crashed?
posted by Dragonmun on 17 Nov 2008At some point in the evening on November 14th, there was apparently a sort of server crash. It was not a major one, but if did reset the Dragonmun websites back to where they were a month ago.
This isn't a major problem, but a number of news items and image uploads have pretty much disappeared and need to be restored. We are pleased to say that the comics, on the other hand, are still up to date.
News posts, reviews, and images should all be restored by the end of the day. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused.
August is getting away!
posted by Dragonmun on 25 Aug 2008Sometimes it seems like conventions season never ends... and sometimes the end is so close you darn near have a heart attack. Well, thankfully we're not at the later point in the year and have begun preparations for RealmsCon.
There we will be doing a number of things in conjunction with our affiliates, Concept Galaxy. As per normal we will have a table set up as a venue for those of you attending to pick up comics and the like, but there may be a couple of surprises there as well.
Be sure to check it out.
On a related note - reviews for Anime Festival Orlando and YasumiCon are now online and can be found here.
Dragonmun July Update
posted by Dragonmun on 16 Jul 2008It's strange how much time flies.
The Library mini event and PersaCon came and went by so fast that there was hardly any time to document them properly. And now no one, not two, but three conventions are right around the corner and we're just hopping behind the scenes here at Dragonmun Studios.
The most immeadiate bit of news is that we will be attending the audition event for Anime x Gamer Experience on July 26th in order to help out our affiliates, Concept Galaxy, with some of the staff stuff. We know that some of you in North Florida wanted to have a chance to speak with us one-to-one, this would be a good chance to do so.
YasumiCon. YasumiCon? YASUMICON!
The next bit of awesome news is that Heather will be assisting Damon with the Call of the Wylde dance event on Saturday night of Anime Festival Orlando. Since dancers/ravers are known for trying to shout requests out over the music (yeah we do it too), we'll save your voices by giving you a place to post your requests ahead of time.
And finally, to our fans in Texas. We're coming to visit! In another first for Dragonmun Studios, we will be vending at RealmsCon in Corpus Christi! We can't wait to see you guys!
Date Updates!!!
posted by Dragonmun on 05 May 2008Convention Update:
Florida SuperCon 2008
Many apologies to those that were looking forward to seeing Dragonmun Studios are Florida SuperCon this year. Some unexpected and problematic things have presented themselves and are interfering with the ability to be at the show.
We are still planning on doing a number of shows throughout the state, so we will be back in the area a couple more times this year. Worry not!
YasumiCon
Dragonmun Studios will be attending YasumiCon for the first time this year! Be sure to keep an eyes out for us in the Artist Alley amongst other things. More information will be posts as it become available.
Previous Events
Heather's convention story for "AnimeFest" 2008 has been posted and can be found here (this is a Florida Library mini-event and is not to be confused with any events in texas).
This event also marked the beginning of a small anime and comic art exhibit also being presented at the Southwest Regional branch in Pembroke Pines. This exhibit features some of that artwork Heather Scott and will be on display for the entire month of May.
The Contest
Wednesday marked the two month mark for the Art on Sivoa contest. Entries are still being accepted and more prizes are being sought. For more information please see the official page locate at http://sivoa.dragonmun.com/contest.php.
Comic Art Stuffs.
posted by Dragonmun on 18 Mar 2008It seems like Dragonmun Studios is having it fair share of news this month. We're having fun with that fact.
COMICS
Dragonmun Studios is happy to announce that we have yet another comic to offer up on our service! May Contain Science by Sarah Bryant has finally made it's online presence known! To check it out click here.
ART EXHIBITION
Dragonmun Artist, Heather Scott has been asked to have her artwork featured in an exhibit at Broward County's Southwest Regional Library. A number of traditional pieces, limited prints, and never before seen works will be on display for the entire month of May.
ART ON SIVOA CONTEST
Just wanted to remind everyone (that is until we get a stable banner for this) That the Art on Sivoa Contest Is still available for everyone to participate in.
Futurefocus
posted by Dragonmun on 12 Mar 2008Wow, there is a lot to talk about, but so little allowance to do so. Rather than focus on the inability to talk about ~secret~ stuff, however, we'll focus on the all the awesome new information that we unveiled at MegaCon.
Sivoa - The Webcomic?
Some of you may have noticed the increased height of activity going on with Sivoa since we have begun posting up new pages on a weekly basis. The decision behind this was to reach out and help out fans and friends in all the different states that our sporadic convention schedule may prevent us from seeing.
For those of you that have been collecting the single issues, worry not! We are still releasing the printed comics (which are significantly further along than the web comic).
Sivoa - The Contest?
Dragonmun Studios is one issue away from consolidating the Sivoa story into it's first graphic novel and to celebrate we figured that we would give the vast artistic community on the internet a chance to be a part of this!
We are holding an art contest to feature artworks inspired by Sivoa. All entries will be posted in a special gallery on the website, but only the top ten entries will be fully featured in the book itself.
More details to the contest can be found here.
Call For Samurai Mushroom Stuff!
We here are Dragonmun Studios have sadly decided close the Samurai Mushroom web comic project on a permanent basis. In a very large part this is because we no longer can access the web account that everything is stored on, but also because we feel that it should finally be put into book form.
Because of various moves and reformats, some of the really weird extra content that we have posted with the comic at one time or another has disappeared. We are having an open call for this missing content and are willing to offer small rewards for those that provide it.
To see the stuff that we do have, click here. Please send all emails regarding this to Heather.
Sivoa: Book of Alecto - Issue 5
posted by Dragonmun on 13 Feb 2008Sivoa: Book of Alecto Issue 5 is about ready to hit the shelves (virtual more than physical) and we are now taking pre-orders!!!
You may use the simple button below to place the pre-order and ensure that you will get a copy from the premiere batch being printed for MegaCon.
Books will ship out on March 3rd, 2008 (the day after MegaCon) and can be expected to arrive within 7 to 10 business days afterwards. Please include your email address in the "comments" feild of your order so that you may receive the tracking number for it.
Happy New Year and Librar-ations!
posted by Dragonmun on 04 Jan 2008Although a little belated, We here at Dragonmun Studios wish you all a happy new year!
We've lots of great stuff planned for this year and to kick it off we're heading down to Librar-ations II for some fund-raising charity fun!
Librar-ations is sponsored by the Broward County Library and thus is located in the counties Main Library... which is awesome! Ever dream of having an anime convention take over those quiet places where you read your manga. Yeah. This is totally what that is.
Can't wait to see you guys there!
~ Heather and Spazz
Kicking Off November
posted by Dragonmun on 07 Nov 2007Another month for NaNoWriMo has kicked off and we're full into the winter convention season. JaniCon happened this last weekend and we're trying to get the media together for the website. Unfortunatly this is going to take a while, but we do have a con story ready and waiting to be read.
Our next show is going to be Anime SuperCon 2 in December and we look foreward to seeing you there!
JaniCon Surprise and a Thank You
posted by Dragonmun on 06 Oct 2007The submissions and holding for ad space for this next print run of Sivoa is closed and payment (if you haven't already sent it in) is past due.
I just wanted to say thank you guys for your support. This run should be ready by JaniCon, which has been one adventure after another for me (even though the con itself hasn't actually started yet.)
As it turns out I'll be adding another event to my panels and costumed things there... and that's the rave.
I know, me going to the rave isn't a big deal, but that's not what I'm talking about. This time I'm actually DJing the thing.
O_O
I's got me terrified and excited all at the same time. I feel like I did when I was confronted with a roller coaster the first time.
I can't friggin wait.
^.^

Site Updates, PresaCon, and Florida Supercon
posted by Dragonmun on 27 Jun 2007In case it hasn't been noticed, a gallery has been made for PersaCon and can be found here. The gallery for Florida Supercon is still being organized, but should be up within the week.
The convention reviews have been changed to be "convention stories" as they are more opinionated than reviews ought to be. These have been sorted into the "Convention Information" section of the staff links. By doing this, we allow for all of the staffers to express their thoughts on the shows that they attend.
The entertainment section of the website has been updated to include another online community that Dragonmun Studios had helped to build. This would be the V.I.L.E Headquarters online community dedicated to Carmen Sandiego. If you have not already done so, check it out! There's a lot of neat nostalgia there.
JACON 2007
posted by Dragonmun on 09 May 2007Dragonmun Studios is still on the recovery from the wildly fun time they had at JACON, but we were able to get the photo gallery started. Many thanks to all of you who stopped by the table and shot the breeze with us about everything from the comics to the latest cosplay trends. We had a blast!
Volume 4 of Sivoa sold out completely and we appologize to those of you who were unable to pick up your copy at the convention. If you would like to order your copy online, you may do so in the "Comics" section of the website.
Anime SuperCon Follow Up
posted by Dragonmun on 17 Apr 2007We're back from Anime Supercon and man, we had a blast! Details can be found here in Dragonmun's convention review and photo gallery of people that stopped by the table. :D
Stupid Printers...
posted by Dragonmun on 12 Apr 2007So it looks like the new issue won't be out for Anime SuperCon after all. There was a problem with the printers and the comics weren't able to arrive on time. They'll probably arrive like a week later though. Once they do come in I'll create an online store link so that you guys can order it.
Once again, thank you all for your patience.

It's Convention Season Again...
posted by Dragonmun on 06 Mar 2007... and Dragonmun Studios has been in full swing with it!Our appearance at MegaCon didn't go unnoticed even though our location was a bit obscure. Many of your recognized the Flag and Caribbean Blue (although she's not our character) costumes as Heather and our affiliate Stephanie wandered around the dealer's room floor. That was awesome!
On the comic front, Sivoa: Book of Alecto volume 4 is nearing completion and should be ready for sale by the time Anime SuperCon comes around.
We are also working on a super-secret project for JaniCon, which will be revealed when we get the affirmative to talk about it.
Art at MegaCon! Awesome!
posted by Dragonmun on 28 Jan 2007
So in the process of meeting and greeting old friends as well as making some new ones at FX, we managed to secure a table at MegaCon!
With out greatest heartfelt thanks, we will be sharing a booth with Exotic Lenses, whom of which has supplied all of the special effects contact lenses that we wear.
On a related note, the release of Sivoa: Book of Alecto issue four is being pushed back to a later date (not exactly sure when, but definitely by JACON) because we want to ensure the quality of the pages.
There will however be a special preview of the comic at MegaCon, so be sure to stop on by!
EMS Review and some photos.
posted by Dragonmun on 10 Dec 2006The Convention review for East Meets South is up and can be found here. I also managed to upload the photos that I took into the gallery, but I still have a whole CD of photos taken by the convention photographer that I need to find.
When I do find that, I will post the pictures (with credit to the photographer) in the gallery as well.
^_^
