Authors Thinking Like Scientists~Do readers do the...
Do you make science fiction stories? What is the difference between making a “science fiction story” and making a “science fiction universe”? It is this question which I often ponder. You see, the wonderful administrator at a science fiction website’s forums had, quite some time ago, cleanly denounced Armored Soldier Valkyrion and it hit me pretty hard. Ever since...
Valkyrion website redesign!
XD The website has just had a massive overhaul thanks to Adam!! :) It makes me so happy to see it all decked out for White Rose. Go Valkyrion!!

White Rose finally finished and APE 2008
It’s been a huge for Valkyrion since we’ve posted last. Aside from financial troubles and stuff, we’ve successfully completed ArmoredSoldier Valkyrion: White Rose, our first full color graphic novel (thanks to Christan Kaw’s wonderful coloring). It takes on the main story of Valkyrion with ace pilot Plato Auralion and PURE leader Trindat Stavchyn as they battle for what...

The hardest working independent comickers around?
Whew. Let me tell you, if you’ve never made books one-hundred percent on your own, you don’t know what it’s like. I just finished a minor update to the website, and by “minor,” I mean “added the fact that, yes, there is a new Armored Soldier Valkyrion book available for purchase from Doukeshi Productions.”
It’s worth a good laugh every now and then...
ArmoredSoldier VALKYRION: E.C. 999 (update)
Well it has been a while since I’ve posted, huh? The newest news with E.C. 999 is that we changed the release format again. :) Don’t worry, we didn’t extend it again. We will be releasing E.C. 999 in a double issue standard-size saddle-stitched book (regular comic book with tons of pages) from what we’ve discussed. The art is nearly done (in the next few days?) aside from...

ARMORED SOLDIER VALKYRION: E.C.999 -- Page 50 is...
Today is the fifty page day for E.C.999 as I have reached page 12 in issue two. Is the book out yet? No. The book will be at least 100 pages when it’s finished but man, fifty is a nice number to think about isn’t it? It seems like only a short while ago I was getting so excited about the first few pages of this comic book… but now that I’m working on issue two with an...

c(^ ^ c ) ~ I went outside today.....
With the E.C.999 graphic novel, I’ve had my hands full lately… :) issue two -of the four issue book- looks and feels really great. I’ve really been having a blast working on it… so much in fact that I’m missing the really great spring weather outside…. All I know is that in Valkyrion it’s still winter… and it’s snowing where Plato is right...
Valkyrion Update: E.C.999
What’s new in the world of Valkyrion? Quite a bit! EC999, the Valkyrion comic book, has, again, had it’s release date pushed back… this time by months. Doukeshi Productions has officially decided that EC999 will be released as graphic novels/trade paperback comics instead of issue to issue as originally planned. That means each book of EC999 will have around four issues each...
WEBSITE UPDATE!! c(^ ^ )
Adam has just updated our website!! YAY!! With better coding than I could ever muster-up! It now has a few character descriptions, a description of what Valkyrion is, book listings that include Prince of War 2, and contact information (AKK! My hair is still blond in that picture!! O.o` ) … (hah! I fixed it and I messed around with Adam’s picture.) THANK YOU ADA! Just to mention,...
Valkyrion: Doukeshi Productions NEWS
Well, Prince of War book two is done and going to print. WHOOO!! It sports a cool wrap-around cover, excellent writing and highlight artwork by me. It turned out great and really shows off Adam’s writing talents. :D We don’t have a solid release date right now but I’ll post it as soon as I know. Valkyrion: E.C.999 (the new title for the comic book series) is nearly...

Stacy: Man, I hate waiting for e-mail...
Inner Stacy: ...But you like getting them, right?
Stacy: Yeah... unless they're spam... I hate spam...
Inner Stacy: ... but that's e-mail, too. Right?
Stacy: Yeah, but it's not surprising when I get those.
Inner Stacy: ....
The date draws nearer...
Well, things at Doukeshi’s main office have been a little slow, while still being quite (!) exciting. I’ve taken a bit of a pause from my normal schedule of “wake up, get dressed, sit at desk, draw comics, fall off chair, repeat” to do some design work that I kinda wish I’d done two pages ago…. stupid space battleships… They were entering atmosphere...

Book four Prince of War:
:D I’m always happy when we send a book out to be printed, but nothing compares to finnaly getting the prints in the mail. Prince of War arrived on Doukeshi Production’s doorstep yesterday and I must say that…. it’s our best book yet. XD It’s still one of our unconventional books, combining Adam’s story writing skills with a comic book supplement, along with...

RPG Book~GO!
I am pleased to report that the staff of Valkyrion continues to expand, and appropriately, so does it’s ambition. Well-known Palladium Books role-playing game enthusiast Nekira Sudacne came-upon the world of Armored Soldier Valkyrion and decided that it was finally time to put his knowledge of tabletop role-playing games and scenarios to good use. We’re proud to be joined by him and...
On The Brink of Explosion
Just got the proof copy to approve for Sourcebook One, the massive 150-page guide to Valkyrion. Holy crap. The guys have done a great job. Copies will hopefully be shipping next week. Stay tuned. —Adam
Tech Manual 1-- Is there no end?
It’s been a mere two weeks since the completion of Sourcebook One, and already another book has been completed. Granted, it’s a far smaller book (20 pages plus covers) but it’s already been shipped to Ka-Blam for printing. The guys there are really friendly and willing to help-out independent publishers, which is a good thing because it’s not an easy job to do. Three cheers...

Hello! ( ^ 3^)7 {hee hee)
It has felt like such a long time waiting for Valkyrion: Sourcebook One to come out! I’ve been very excited since the day we sent it to get printed that I’ve acctualy kept myself very involved with Valkyrion artwork. I think I was supposed to be taking a break after it was finished… but here I am doing more Valkyrion artwork…. (’ ’ ; ) Well, I suppose more...
Next Book; Planning Ahead
Valkyrion: Sourcebook One is currently being readied for Internet sales on IndyPlanet.com, and the book kicks some serious butt. Crammed with politics, mecha, and characters, it is the one source that a fan absolutely needs to get-into the supercharged world of Valkyrion. But that doesn’t mean that we’re letting up one bit. At this very second, the Valkyrion Technical Report, outlining...

Here on Valkyrion.tumblr, we’ll be talking about the science fiction series, “Armored Soldier Valkyrion.” Unlike anywhere else on the Internet, you’ll be able to get the latest news from those involved on the project. I suppose that imitation still is the sincerest form of flattery, and out of all the blog-makers out there, I came to decide on tumblr because of the use of...
