It's real! Today I'm thrilled to announce that Somnia Bestiae is now available in print form via Lulu!
The print version includes all ~260 pages of the original webcomic in high resolution, plus the following bonus features, for a total page count of 328:
- Two-page-extended version of Chapter 6
- Three all-new mini-chapters which supplement the main story:
1. A new prologue ("Chapter -1")
2. Additional vignette of life in the cube featuring Katie, Millicent, and young Kila
3. Sikso and his caretakers before the main story events occur
- New art for "Somnia Bestiae! The Musical," and an additional song!
- Concept art and behind-the-scenes details of the production process
There's two versions available, to hopefully balance accessibility, cost, and print quality.
- A paperback version with "standard" color in large size (7" by 10", or 178 by 254 mm)
- A hardcover version with "premium" color in small size (A5, approximately 5.8" by 8.3")
The content of each is the same; the only differences are the size and colors. Lulu's "premium" color printing is very expensive for a book of this length which is why I've decided to make the "standard" paperback version also available. This "standard" edition is more matte in finish than the high-contrast "premium" and does lose some background detail in very dark scenes but is perfectly legible and colorful (and half the price). See this submission for a visual comparison: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/63990329
The introductory pricing is detailed below. It's a little higher than I wanted but color printing is expensive! These prices are higher than the raw print cost since a few folks have asked about ways to support me. I still don't plan to offer public commissions or tips, but now you can support me by purchasing a book (and you get a cool book in return). Who knows, maybe I'll add more items to the store eventually ;)
- Paperback: $32 USD, $44 CAD, $56 AUD, €29 EUR, £25 GBP
- Hardcover: $64 USD, $108 CAD, $96 AUD, €53 EUR, £51 GBP

Creating a physical version of the comic has been an end goal from the very start of this project so it's a dream come true to finally see it materialize. In fact, making sure it's able to look good at print resolutions is a big reason why I used Blender and vector graphics to draw the comic in the first place (the other big reason being to get practice with those things). I'm very proud of it and I hope you check it out!
