Hi Guys,
Well as you know if you’ve been following, I’ve been busy with a lot of projects but I did finally get around to uploading a new comic page! Page 4 of issue 2 has been added to the Comic section of the site.
In other news, it’s mothers day. So I hope you hugged your mom and thanked her for putting up with you all these years 
Ok, soooo we’ve been working on something over the past year. I was trying to keep this under wraps until Beta but, I need some help. 
Well, the BBA has teamed up with some professional programmers, licensed a game engine, and designed an Online game.
In my (humble) opinion, this game is majorly awesome. It embodies everything I was looking for in an online game! I just need help paying the programmers some money up front for all the work they have already done and have yet to do. A lot of the money I make off of figurine sales is going toward paying for the game… but I was wondering, if any of you were interested in helping me out.
Here’s how it works. This site (click here) has a thing where you can pledge via paypal X dollars. You check out through paypal but you don’t end up getting charged X until the fundraiser goal of $1,000 is met. If i dont end up getting 1,000 in pledges in 24 days then, you don’t end up paying anything.
Here is the writeup from the site, to give you more info

Working title: The Blackblood Alliance Online Game.
Our Goal: Create and release a BBA-based video game to the online public with the help of your donations!
About the Game: The game downloads to your Windows PC and can connect via the internet to other online players. It will be the first online game to blend text-based role-playing with a unique combat system (and many other features) involving your own customizable interactive characters.
What will make our game cool: You and your friends can each take on the role of a direwolf, blackblood, fox, or sabre that you completely design. You choose a class and can interact with others as you fight, hunt, explore, roleplay, level up and socialize! In future updates, you’ll be able to stake your own territory, have your own den and host private RP sessions, decorate it with unique items - maybe even breed! The only limits are what we can afford to accomplish with the programmers’ time and resources!
Progess so far: We have licensed an engine from Valen Games and have integrated it with other code - we’re just working on adding different functionality for our purposes. We need to still make sure the game plays online, allows people to design and create their own unique looking characters, integrate item support, and track statistics, combat and leveling up. This is not a simple game! Our programmers have many hours of work on their plate and we need help paying them for their time and effort!
How you can help: Donate to the project to help pay for costs associated with licensing tools and paying for programming time! Each of 10 $100 increments will be used to pay programmers to help accomplish very specific milestones (aka progress points) in the development cycle of the game. This may not pay for all their time and effort, but they will be valuable incentives to show that we care and we will support and appreciate their help!
Benefits for donating:
All contributors will receive access to the game developer’s blog, which will begin soon.
All Contributors will get access to a high resolution download of exclusive Blackblood Alliance desktop Wallpaper!
Contributors who donate $20 or more will receive a coupon on their In-Game account, redeemable toward anything the Game store!
Our top sponsors will get first “dibs” on beta tester positions!

I appreciate even the time you took to read this entry so, thank you so much!!
Take care guys!

Hi!
Ok, so again we are going to have a limited number of BBA figures. So that I know how many to order, I need to take a tally of how many people are interested in ordering.
Due to overwhelming demand for the Swiftkill figure, we are re-commissioning Gensen for a second limited run, with a new paint-job on her fur, face and eyes, and with a new exclusive postcard included.
Anyone who is interested in purchasing a Second Edition Swiftkill figure for $37.99 plus shipping, please send an email to theblackbloodalliance@gmail.com with the subject “Swiftkill”
Anyone who is interested in buying a Bloodspill figure for around $42 plus shipping (she is larger and heavier than the Swiftkill figure), please send an email to theblackbloodalliance@gmail.com with the subject “Bloodspill.”
if you’re interested in purchasing BOTH, send an email with the subject “Both.” (You may save money on shipping this way).
Im opening up preorders soon, so I will be responding to your email in a week or so with information on how much exactly shipping will cost, and info on how to reserve your figure.
By signing up for this mailing list you are NOT obligated to buy anything. You are just signing up to recieve further information on the product and how to order if you choose to do so.
Thanks!
Hello I apologize for the long gap of time between updates. I will be working to correct that and keep the site more current.
I’ve added a newconcept piece to the Art Gallery as well as some great fanart from Deviantart that I picked out. Check em out!
ALSO! page 2 of issue 2 is finally uploaded. See the comic gallery and scroll to the bottom to find it Page 3 is coming this month as well.
In one week, Ms. Siegel is flying in from CALI to visit me! We’re going to go into “crunch-mode” and will be working hard on cranking out more pages!
Again I must mention that we will be attending ANTHROCON ‘08 at the end of June in Pittsburg, PA. Come visit us! We are taking face-to-face commissions, selling comics, stickers, posters, and coolest of all…the new Bloodspill figure! Check out the concept that I sent to the sculptors, and the (unpainted) prototype that I got back!
When I have photos of it painted, I will be posting them and opening up pre-orders.
Also if you missed out on the Swiftkill figure, I’m ordering a limited 2nd edition of her with new paint colors! So you’ll have a second opportunity.
Thanks a lot for reading!

Hey there,
So I discovered a missing Swiftkill figure that was hiding in the truck of my car! So she didn’t get sold with the rest of Swiftkills. She is number 200, the very last one, and is for sale on ebay: click here to check it out.
She comes with a free BBA postcard, a free duo-signed copy of the comic (signed by me and erin) and free BBA stickers!
This Swifty is really special! I had a hard time deciding whether or not to sell her. But I know a lot of people missed out on ordering them last fall so I thought it only fair to give someone a chance to have her and give her a good home
She is the last of the ‘07 first edition swiftkills. I will possibly have more made (with a slightly different fur color) when I order the Bloodspills. Bloodspill will probably be available in early summer
Hi guys!
I’ve put together an archival site that serves as a collection of animal webcomics!
Yes, Issue#2 is officially in production! The first page has been posted in the comic section. No other real news at the moment. Still selling Issue #1! Visit the store (the blonde dog on the right) to purchase!
Thanks for visiting!
Issue 1 is on sale and available here!
Hi there, Happy holidays! I will take a moment to let you know what our company is up to!
The BBA book is nearing the sale of its 1,000th issue. I am very pleasantly surprised by this outcome. Thank you, everyone, who has supported us by purchasing the book or the figure. You have ensured that we will be continuing the story series, which is exactly what I wanted to keep doing, because I so enjoy working with Erin on this project!
Erin is currently working on finals while I’m writing the continuation of the BBA saga. We are wrapping up preproduction on Issue 2 soon and will begin cranking out pages over the holiday break. We’ll try to post page 1 of Issue 2 publically around New Years so look for it around then!
In addition to planning for my birthday next week (boooo, I feel old! 
) I’m also working on the model sheet for the Bloodspill Figure which I will then send to Gensen Figure. They’ll produce a prototype for the figure which we’ll be selling in the store in spring ‘08! In a few months I will do pre-orders for Bloodspills so you can ensure that you get one!
I will also discuss with Gensen if we can get a few more Swiftkills made for those who missed out on ordering them.
Thanks again everyone! We couldn’t have gotten this far without you!
