Lessons for the New Artist and the Seasoned Veteran
NOTE: Surveys have been sent out to all backers! Fill it out and send it back to us. Without your survey we cannot ship your order!
Talking to 85 people here: There are 85 surveys that are not completed and sent back to us. If you haven't filled yours out and sent it to us please do, it's time! Here are the first copies off the press of the books, in my hands—that's how close we are! The shipment is on its way. When they arrive we will be filling orders and we use the surveys to do that. The survey is your order form. We need it! —Terry
Finished and I have the files to prove it! Oh what a beautiful sight. Fear of Death, my first new Rachel Rising story in years is completed, assembled and ready for the printer. And against all odds considering I haven't had a snack in at least 20 minutes. Tonight, we feast! #RachelRising #comicbook #kickstarterexclusive
And ps. The How To Draw books are printed and in transit now. I have samples in hand and they are perfect! It takes 6 weeks for them to cross the Pacific on a boat, then allow a couple of weeks for them to truck from the port of LA to Houston. When they arrive we will be ready for them and start filling orders! Very exciting! —Terry
Happy New Year my friends! A few items of note today:
Reminder to 13% of you to complete your surveys. The other 87% have turned in theirs and they're all getting straight A's plus whatever they ordered! The surveys are important, that's how we know WHAT to send you and WHERE to send it!
Just received notice from USPS their International rates are increasing 4-8% starting January 18. Ugh!
The Pre-Order store is now open on Backerkit, if you know someone who missed the Kickstarter campaign you can save them from a lifetime of regret by letting them know about this second chance!
Robyn tells me there are a few sketches available on the webstore. Even if you think you don't want a gorgeous portrait of Francine or Katchoo, go take a free look around and give us a chance to change your mind, or shop for a friend.
FEAR OF DEATH: I have every page penciled and I'm starting to ink pages now. This story gives me goosebumps! And, you are the first to know: this is a prequel. Consider it Rachel Rising issue #0. Read this and the beginning of Rachel Rising will suddenly make more sense to you. I had all these details in mind all along but that can get lost when told over hundreds of pages. Read Fear of Death and you will have a much better understanding of Lilith's story/agenda and her connection to Zoe. Read this, then reread the opening scenes of Rachel Rising in a new light, Lilith's odd appearance during Rachel's resurrection (why was she there?) and finding Zoe in the kitchen (why was she there?). All that stuff. :)
THANK YOU again for pledging your support for this campaign. You have some wonderful things coming your way soon. —Terry
lol, not one minute after I posted the update about your survey coming out tomorrow, Robyn updated my info and we now need to say it can be anytime over the next few days. Okay. Just be on the lookout for them! :) —Terry
