Hi guys!

I've been absent on Patreon these last few weeks because I have been under the gun to deliver for Webtoons and I've been getting pages finished just in time. Plus, I went to ECCC last weekend and so that ended up taking me away from the studio for about a week as well. It's been busy but I've really been enjoying it. :)


So here are some of the most recently finished pages. I literally just dropped in the text this week and shipped some of these to Webtoons. haha. But now I'm just focusing on coloring the rest of the book and I'm making some good progress. I have another big batch to send you by next Friday.  And I think I'll be able to have all the pages done by the 28th of this month. :)


This brings me to the next be phase of my plan...


KICKSTARTER!


Yep, I'll be launching a Kickstarter for Sithrah book 2 at the end of April (or maybe the first week of May) and it's going to be nuts! The goal is going to be a whopping $45,000 because I will be funding the printing of Sithrah 2 (160 page hardcover), reMIND 1 (softcover) and reMIND 2 (softcover) all in one campaign. Then if we hit a stretch goal of probably 75k (I'm just guessing) then I will unlock the printing of Sithrah book 3 (190 page hardcover).


So yeah, I'm gonna try to fund 4 books in one campaign. So I am a little nervous to say the least, but I am sure we can crush this 45k goal with your help! :) I'll be sending out some reminder emails to you guys before the launch and right as we launch too so mark your calendars... for... well, I guess just expect to hear more towards the end of April. :)


PATREON TIER's WILL BE CHANGING.

So, I'm going to change the patron tiers again when book 3 is finished. I plan to remove the $20 tier and consolidate the $3 and $5 tier into one now.


I'm super excited to finally get these two next books published and out into the world. You guys have been a critical piece in that puzzle and I am so grateful for all your support. Thank you again for helping to make these books a reality. :)


See you guys next week!

Nice....... thats good news, something to look forward to on kickstarter. If Sithrah 3 will be a stretch goal that will make the campaign interesting indeed. Looking forward to it. One thought though.....that might mean no 3 is not funded. Obviously you have put a lot of thought into this but it would be nice to be able to back both 2 and 3 from the start. No matter what....it will be exciting. Chris

Do you think I should just have all 4 books from the start and have the goal be $65 to $70k? The way I see it is if I can't fund book 3 yet then I can start with books 3 and 4 for my next campaign. I just want to keep the momentum so that there is stuff to talk about as the campaign goes. Thanks for your thoughts.

I just wonder how many long time customers will desire to get the soft covers of Remind...postagee is a killer for those out of the US, the US customers might. How many orders are from overseas? New fans might opt for the softcovers but those with HB Sithrah books will love to have 2 and 3, but, the option for another campaign in 2 or 3 months might be best overall. If no 3 is a stretch goal you could lose out on sales for number 3. I for one would love no 3 to be a stretch goal but if it was a higher tier l would pay more to get it anyway. I just feel that if no 3 is a stretch goal the supporters will be happy but you might lose out financially. Its a tough decision..... Look at how well Jake Parker did with SkyHeart with no stretch goals, maybe you should offer modest printed stretch goals (less work for you) and keep no 3 for a seperate campaign. ....... Tough decisions.....l will be praying for you to do best for yourself and your family and future goals. Chris.

Thanks, Chris! More good points. I do love what Jake did with his campaign but I don't feel comfortable starting with that big of a first goal. This is kinda my way to slowly growing into having bigger goals from the start. For instance, after I finish Sithrah I would like to launch a campaign that is simpler to Jake's where it will pay for the production of the book as well as the printing and shipping. It would have to be like an 80k goal to make it work but I think I need to build up to that level. I guess I would rather be surprised by the success than let down if we can't reach the funding goal for some reason. Thanks for the prayers! :)
