Orders are locked down

Just a quick one to say orders are now locked. That means if you ordered anything extra beyond the Kickstarter your card has now been charged. Four folks had errors on their card and I’ve emailed them all personally, so if you don’t have a email from me assume you’re fine.

The print orders are shipping in January so if you’re planning to move before then, or your address has changed since you filled out the survey last month, then you’ve got 2 days to update your address inside your own Backerkit survey. After that the addresses are locked.

In 48hrs I’ll take all that info and segment it all into different lists for different rewards, and use those lists to send out the digital rewards first of all (apart from issue 6 which will be sent a few weeks later).

My back’s already feeling much better too. I was even able to play a bit of Just Dance with Wee Nero over the weekend (it was her birthday). I top scored 😂

All the best

2 days to go till survey deadline

Yes, we’re nearly at the end of the month. That means that I’ll start shipping all the digital files soon, in early December, apart from issue 6 which I’m still working on. Issue 6 will get sent out in January, along with the print orders, with my apologies that they’re a little late.

I’m going to have to be strict with the cutoff date this time, so I can get on and ship everything promptly.

I’ve been working on the final sequence of the graphic novel, and I’m excited by how it’s turning out. It’s a thrilling ending and sets up things perfectly for the darker direction of the next book.

I’ve been working really hard on it and was hoping to catch up a bit. Unfortunately the ending involves scenes with thousands and thousands of people. Now, it’s no secret that to draw thousands of people you maybe draw a hundred with the rest slightly obscured or in the distance behind them. But drawing 100’s of people per panel still takes a lot of time. It’s a lot more intensive than doing an action scene between two people, or a group arguing.

I’m not interested in skimping on anything and drawing hundreds of little people running around from all kinds of angles takes maybe twice as long per page. It’s actually one of favourite things to draw, and it looks pretty cool, so it’s absorbing to work on. But that’s why I haven’t been able to catch up. The quality will be worth it when you read it, I hope.

The only downside is I’m frikkin’ freezing as I work. Like a lot of folks we can’t afford to put the heating on for more than a couple of hours a day, the prices are just mental these days. So I’m wrapping myself in an electric blanket and just drawing for ten hours a day to get this finished off. Electric blanket is my top heating tip - it’s 6p an hour instead of 60p an hour to put the central heating on. Hell of a difference!

I’ll be in touch soon with the links to all the digital files (apart from issue 6)

All the best

Monty
