Pages 103-104: Cornered

Greetings! We are back on schedule, and I am very proud of these two pages! This time on LYRAE, the alien creature proves resistant to Mel’s persuasive technique. Can the team keep the scientist Darrow from its clutches? I ended up up experimenting a bit with custom brushes for these pages, allowing for some betterContinue reading “Pages 103-104: Cornered”

Page 102: Malevolent Multitasking

Greetings! Sadly just one page again this time. I had the second almost ready to go but that plan got scuppered by a rather nasty bout of ill health that still hasn’t quite subsided. Still, my health is still all-around better than the poor sod this guy’s glaring at. Check out the new page here!Continue reading “Page 102: Malevolent Multitasking”

Interlude: First Contact

Greetings! I have been away from my computer for a family holiday so the next pages of LYRAE proper aren’t quite ready yet. Luckily, I packed my sketchbook with me and broke out the old pencils in the downtime. The end result is First Contact, a short one-page comic about the first time the CaptainContinue reading “Interlude: First Contact”

Page 101: Add More Laser

Greetings! Sadly this is another single-page upload as the first couple months of 2023 have proven to be quite busy indeed. This time on LYRAE, we rejoin the crew after Kel found himself face-to-face with the alien creature that has been tearing its way through the Archer Building towards the them. This creature has alreadyContinue reading “Page 101: Add More Laser”

Pages 99-100: Three Digits

Greetings! LYRAE is now officially counting its pages with 3 digits! And I must say, I’m very happy with how #100 turned out. After the delays over the New Year break we are back to 2-page updates! This tine, Kel and Carr have barely survived the alien creature’s opening shots as it rapidly overruns theirContinue reading “Pages 99-100: Three Digits”

Pages 98: First Page of 2023

Greetings! LYRAE is back for 2023! Now I had hoped to continue work on the comic over the break and jump right back in with normal service and perhaps a small backlog of pages in reserve, but unfortunately a passing seasonal flu had other ideas. The end result is that today’s update will unfortunately beContinue reading “Pages 98: First Page of 2023”

Pages 96-97: That Is Not Santa

Greetings! Today on LYRAE we join the team in the Archer labs waiting to fill the alien menace with laser holes. However, as they watch the door, something lurks up above, bearing deadly gifts of its own. As the Archer labs erupt into a colourful conflaguration, this is where we shall be leaving LYRAE forContinue reading “Pages 96-97: That Is Not Santa”

Pages 94-95: Boxed In

Greetings! Last time on LYRAE, Laika came face to face with a heavily armed alien and exploded. This leaves the team in a very precarious situation as their previously secure position in the lab begins to look more like a trap. The team braces for the coming attack, Mel is forced to accept that perhapsContinue reading “Pages 94-95: Boxed In”

Pages 92-93: Deadly Lasers

Greetings! Last time on LYRAE, Laika came face to face with an alien creature in the Archer’s liftshaft, which promptly opened fire with a barrage of deadly lasers beams. That intense close quarters battle resolves in today’s pages as the fighting spills into the main lab area, with devastating results for the rescue team. YouContinue reading “Pages 92-93: Deadly Lasers”

Pages 90-91: Fireworks!

Greetings! As I type this it is November 5th, which in the UK is the day we celebrate… that time a bloke tried to blow up parliament? Well, technically the celebration is for the day that plot was foiled, which is a good thing because it turns out that Guy Fawke’s little group was lessContinue reading “Pages 90-91: Fireworks!”
