This page was simultaneously great and a huge pain to work on. I love being able to really spread out a bit and give a scene some depth and room to breathe, but good lord I think there must be at least 300 books in this scene. Oh my god. It was certainly an experience, and I hope you folks enjoy the resulting page!

Hey everyone!
Not much to talk about today. So I thought I would just post a quick reminder that the ad space on the left side of the site is now managed through Project Wonderful. If you want to display your ad on our site, simply click right here to bid!
We might be posting something different next week and make sure you check back on Thursday for a new journal entry!
Have a great week :)

Hey everyone!
I don't really have much to talk about, although I did want to quickly mention that MADJAM 2015 is hosting this year's Global Game Jam in Edmonton, Alberta. So if you happen to live in the area and you are a developer, artist, animator, writer, composer, or work in any other field that can be applied to game development, I would highly recommend you sign up!
And that's all for this week. Check back next Monday for a new Aikonia page and have a wonderful week!
Back again!

Hello everyone!
I hope you all had a fantastic new year! 2015 is upon us and the changing dynamics of Aikonia's readership means changing the way we run the website. As such, we have a couple of updates we'd like to bring to your attention, including comment notification, the new donation system, and the new Project Wonderful ad space. Read all about it here!
We also posted a general year in review post on our blog, so check that out too!
Thank you all for the support you've given us all through 2014!

Hello Aikonia readers!
Long time with no word from me! I know I tend towards the quiet side, but I always appreciate Aikonia's readers and supporters, and love seeing the comments you folks have on the comic.
Many of you wished me well when I had to take a break for health reasons earlier this year, and I wanted to shout out some thanks to everyone who sent well wishes, everyone who continues to follow the comic, and to Aikonia readers in general -- y'all have been awesomely supportive and a great audience to work for.
As the Aikonia crew takes a brief holiday break, don't forget that Aikonia merchandise is still on sale through January 2nd.
Happy holidays, everyone!

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to mention that MADSOFT just announced MADJAM! A series of game jams in Edmonton spread out over a single calendar year with one event occurring every quarter. If you happen to be in Edmonton, Alberta and you're interested in making games, whether it be development, art, animation, audio, or design, I highly suggest you check it out and register!
Also, all Aikonia merchandise is on sale for 25% off until January 2nd, 2015! If you want to order something as a Christmas gift, now's the time because shipping takes about a week!

Happy Holidays 2014

Hello everyone!
Last year's holiday illustration featured Aikonia's adventurers reinterpreted as characters from the Charles Dicken's classic "A Christmas Carol."
Since we had a distinctly Christmas-themed illustration last year, this time around we wanted to represent another, sometimes overlooked, holiday. We want to make sure all our readers feel included, no matter the traditions they celebrate (or do not celebrate) at this festive time of year. That being said, we hope you enjoy this special Hanukkah-themed Aikonia illustration.
Happy Holidays, everyone! And don't forget to check back on Thursday for a new journal entry!

New Journal Section!
By Andrew-david
November 13th, 2014 at 05:34PM
Hello everyone!
We've removed the "Preview" section of the site and replaced it by this brand new journal entry section. The design matches the setting of the journals, which is Magicka. Do you like it? :D
This new section is reserved for the journal entries, which we will be posting every Thursday. Because of this, the past journal entries no longer appear on the main site and are all available to read in this section. These pages appear in the RSS feed just like regular pages, so don't worry about missing them!
Enjoy today's entry and have a wonderful week!
