A One-Week KickStarter Campaign?

I think the last time I ran a one-week-long KickStarter campaign, I ran one for funding Validation’s Final Push. Before that, I did a one-week campaign for Validation’s buttons. I kept those short because the asking goals were kept small. And that’s why I’m doing another one-week-long campaign.

If you missed my previous blog post, here’s the TL;DR: I want to get a new print in the world.

There are two things I’m doing WILDLY different this time.

  1. I’m offering only two main rewards for backers. But…
  2. I’m offering a variety of add-ons so backers can customize their orders!

I’m keeping the asking goal small because I don’t need much to make this happen. Just what I need to make back the cost of supplies. All the rewards for this campaign are things I have available right now. That, or they’re things I can make at home. So fulfillment will be really easy!

This KickStarter campaign SHOULD be ready to launch by Wednesday, Nov. 10.

The campaign is still being reviewed. As soon as it’s ready, I’m announcing the launch to my email newsletter peeps first.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more updates.

Thank you for reading!

What’s Next? November 2021 Edition

Now that Inktober is over, what’s next for November?

There are two parts: Comics, and Kickstarter.

FIRST – COMICS

This sketch is for a new comic I’m writing, tentatively called Vanita and The Demon King. I’m scripting it as part of National Novel Writing Month. It’s a writer’s challenge to write a new story in 30 days. USUALLY, you write 50,000 words on a totally new idea. But I’m being a rebel and thumb-nailing comic pages. Really, my goal is to write for an hour a day and get this idea fully sketched out.

If you read the Inktober comic, know this: the story is NOT over yet! New pages will post on my email newsletter once a week. So if you want to see what’s next for our resident cat witch and crow witch, get on that list, yo.

Meanwhile, The Legend of Azu-Mi will have a new page up tomorrow. Next week, Azu-Mi will update twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday. Once Azu-Mi wraps up, The Legend of Jamie Roberts will resume its weekly Wednesday update schedule.

SECOND – KICKSTARTER

The Legend of Azu-Mi is happening because KickStarter backers unlocked it during the campaign for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1. That campaign’s fulfillment is NEARLY done. Now there are just factors outside of my control to wait on.

Which leads me to…

I want to run a one-week KickStarter to get THIS beauty into print.

All the rewards are things I can print and ship from my in-studio set-up – no outside printer delays required. Right now, I’m planning out add-ons, the budget, and how to make gifting happen. Since we’re so close to the holiday shopping season, I’m considering adding the option for backers to choose if their reward is a gift for someone else…and if they want the rewards directly sent to the giftee.

I’ll be reaching out to my Discord peeps for feedback. If you’re a supporter through Ko-Fi or Patreon, you should already have access to the Tiny Dinos Discord server. Message me on the platform if you do not and you want to get on board.

With any luck, a campaign preview will be up by the end of this week. But email subscribers will be the first to know when it launches.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Thanks for reading!

You. Are. Awesome.

One Campaign Closes, Another Begins, and Yet Another Still Goes…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JcGSErUoJc

I did not mention this before, but The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 was not the only KickStarter on my roster.

NeverEnding, Inc has been running a campaign to expand the character builder’s offerings. And they have just 11 days left! They’re pretty close to their next stretch goal, too. So go check out the campaign if you can. Pledge, spread the word – support it however you can!

Plus, another campaign will launch THIS Saturday, April 3. This one is run by my good comics buddy, Ben Wright-Heuman, and his co-creator friend Rainer Kannestine. The project?

Less Than Secret: A Cryptid Comic Anthology.

I contributed a short story about the Mothman. And there’s seven other stories about other cryptids to boot!

To celebrate the launch, I’m hosting a livestream on my YouTube channel! Hope you can join us Saturday, April 3 at 12 noon EDT. Yes, “us,” because the creators from the anthology will be joining me on the stream.

Expect livestreams every Thursday and Saturday during the month of April – I’ll be interviewing the creators who contributed to the anthology project.

If you helped bring The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1 to completion, I’ll be posting updates on the regular on its KickStarter page.

Yes, this is a lot. Yes, I can manage.

Thank you for your support in all these things.

You. Are. Awesome.
