Howdy backers,

We've just got a few more illustrations to wrap up and are working on getting the final print files to Jostens by end of August to get The Shrike shipped out to backers late in September. I should have the shipping costs finalized and ready to charge via Backerkit in the next few weeks. The work nears the end! 

I'll just use the rest of this update to give you these sweet art previews from Jantiff and Leo.

More Art Progress To Share
5 months ago – Thu, Jun 20, 2024 at 07:54:27 AM

Howdy backers,

I wanted to share a sample of some of the new illustrations as we wait for layout to get wrapped up over the summer.

I'm also hearing the first versions of the songs for the soundtrack and they're sounding pretty sweet too. 

Here's some scenes from Jantiff Illustration.

Calcified Leviathan 
Dark Engines
Wedding Chapel of the Spider Witch

Leo's also started on his menagerie of freaky little guys for the bestiary.

Cageling.
Creeping Courtier.

See ya again soon,
Joel

Quiet Month, Layout Continues, Side View Map Preview
6 months ago – Tue, May 14, 2024 at 04:16:44 AM

Howdy backers,

There's not a whole lot to report as layout continues onwards followed by illustrations. Surveys have been sent out and there's still 74 of you that need to answer, but you've got months left to do that so no worries yet. Shipping will be charged a lot closer to the shipping date so costs are up to date and folks can update their address should they need to. 

Anyway here's a sweet sideview map of The Shrike from Jantiff Illustration.

See ya soon,
Joel
