about 8 years ago – Tue, Oct 25, 2016 at 11:12:17 PM

So, we just got in the two mini prints in color and I couldn't wait to share them!  

$25K Print!

Riyria VS KickStarter! 2-0!

$30K Goal

ROYCE VS MR. HIPPLE!
ROYCE VS MR. HIPPLE!
With not many days left, I thought I'd reveal some of the goals we had hidden.  

So you knew that at $35,000, all backers who are receiving a physical shipment would also get a printed copy of the comic adaptation of Michael's Riyria: The Jester short story. (Those who are receiving digital only content can get the printed comic by paying a small fee for shipping and handling). 

$40,000- Riyria Stickers ( logo symbols, T-shirt image as sticker, etc. ) 

$45,000 Riyria Badges (Buttons) $50,000 Prints of Royce and Hadrian as if drawn by Sherwood Stow

 $55,000 DIGITAL -We will create a digital art book with concept art, scripts, production notes ,etc. 

$60,000 - Tales of Riyria - An all new original tale starring Hadrian and Royce goes into production. That we will expand into a new Graphic Novel KS. It would unlock a couple of special tiers for new buy-ins as "Be a part of the cast" in this original story. You would be able to choose if you wanted to be a "good guy" or a "bad guy." 

This would give all those who have pledged to this Kickstarter early access to the Next Kickstarter when it launched. 

You'll also get the first promo poster from the series totally free.

We are getting closer and closer to that $30K mark (currently, as of this typing we are at $27,484). As soon as we hit that, you guys will get the second print (Chibi Royce from the last update) added to your pledges.  So let us keep on sharing and tweeting the campaign so we can get some of our other goals met and you get some cool free merch!

My partner in crime on this project MAX RAYNOR has been doing some character studies and whatnot for the book and I figured I'd share some with you.

More than likely, these will end up as "Bluray Style Extras" in the Limited Edition version of the hardcover.        

LET'S DO THIS!

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT!

One of the things we want to do anytime we do a Kickstarter is spotlight cool projects for you to check out and help hit their goals. Also, me being the comic book fan and professional, I always want to let people know about amazing projects I support personally from creators working as hard as we are to make it in this tough business of comics.  

With that said, our friend Felipe Cagno with artist Fabiano Neves, colorists Dinei Ribeiro & Marcio Menyz and letterer Deyvison Manes currently have a project called "The Few and Cursed" up.  With me being a lover of western-themed stories, I had to let you know about this great looking project.

                                             The Few and Cursed 

The Few and Cursed #2
The Few and Cursed #2

  

The Few and Cursed is a post-apocalyptic western set in an alternate 1910 where most of the water on the planet has been gone for seventy years. Without water, civilization just halted any progress and stayed pretty much the same... with the exception of the monsters, black magic, and curses that consequently showed up.    

And that's where the main character comes in, to balance the scale a little bit. Like the good ol' westerns, we are introduced to a nameless character, the Redhead, one of very few Curse Chasers in the world...

Thanks!

Well, WE DID IT!

So first up, because we made it to our goal of 25K, everyone who has pledged and pledges from now on will receive this print in full color.   

Riyria VS KickStarter! 2-0!

Stretch Goals Reminder: 

When we hit $35,000, we will provide all backers who are receiving a physical shipment to also get a printed copy of the comic adaptation of MJS's Riyria: The Jester short story. Digital folks will get a digital version.

Today could be the day!
about 8 years ago – Sat, Oct 15, 2016 at 10:32:24 PM

We've had more days above $1,000 than those below, so today might be the day we get to fully funded.  Still, weekends tend to be slower than weekdays, but I think it's pretty safe to say we're sure to get there. Once we do, it opens all kinds of possibilities. Wanted to thank everyone for your support once more.
