Ever closer, ever closer!
Just 6% left! I don't think we're going to hit 100% until the last day or two, but things are definitely looking good!
In the meantime, I wanted to share with you the Daily Drawing Drawings I've been doing for a few lucky backers!
Hello, Death! Death of the Endless from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman for backer Greg!
Backer Beth wanted a sketch of her World of Warcraft character!
Backer John just gave me one word: Leviathan!
Toothless form How to Train Your Dragon for backer Aemelia!
Whenever someone doesn't know what they want and just turns me loose, I give an Impure Blood character a hipster makeover.
Like hipster Caspian!
I have so much fun doing these! I hope you're enjoying them too. If you want a chance to get one for yourself, a new winner is chosen every day! But you have 3 more days to back!
Or, if you're looking for something a little more finished, there's still time to lock in that Mystery Patron reward bundle. Only 6 remain, though! I'll even throw in a copy of Impure Blood, Vol.1 for $20 extra if you say please 😉
And whether you pledged or not, I'd love it if you joined me for my Kickstarter Countdown Party on Wednesday night from 8-Midnight CST.
CLICK HERE FOR A REMINDER and tune in for the exciting conclusion to the Impure Blood Vol.2 campaign!
It has been a great ride! Now it's time bring it home!
Hope you're having a great Sunday!
More soon! Till then, be good!
But not too good 😉

Parties all the way down!

Closer and closer we creep towards our goal! Things are looking good, but I'm not one to declare victory prematurely. We've still got a ways to go and not much time left!
Whatever happens, I want to take this moment to invite you to my Kickstarter Countdown Party, Wednesday night form 8-Midnight CST.
We'll chat, we'll gab, we'll recount the rollercoaster that has been this campaign and the months leading up to it! Tune in for the exciting conclusion to the Impure Blood Vol.2 campaign!
And if you can't wait till Wednesday to see my goofy face, you can join me, Melissa J. Massey, Andrew Guilde, and Angela Oddling tonight at 7 PM CST for Melissa's 1920's cocktail party, celebrating the launch of her new book, Black Ball.
We're gonna talk shop, the creative process, the relationship between writer and artist, the business of Kickstarter, and just have some general nerdy fun. I think you'll like it!
But before that, have a look at this.
Spectress & Sabanion
by Kurt Zauer
Spectress & Sabanion is a supernatural horror story about Aneksi, the ghost of Cleopatra's top assassin. Aneksi has lived as a ghost for centuries and has learned to rejoin the world of the living. She is at the cusp of finding purpose in her unlife in the modern world of the living. She is, however, bound by an ancient curse to a demon named Sabanion. As Aneksi pushes more into the world of the living, she must drag Sabanion with her.
If you like dark fantasy tales like Hellraiser, Immortal Hulk, and Justice League Dark then this book is for you!
There's only a few days in to lock in the Mystery Patron reward tier and a chance to win the Daily Drawing Drawing. Both are only available until we hit our funding goal. I love doing the sketch cards and will definitely be bringing that back for Impure Blood Vol.3, but I don't know that I will ever be able to offer a value bundle like the Mystery Patron tier again, so don't miss out on that!
And you know what? It's a gorgeous day today. Get out and enjoy the weather! Have a little party for yourself!
More soon! Till then, be good!
But not too good 😉

Chuggin' right along!

Hello Beautiful Volume 1 Backers!
Just wanted to give you a heads up that Impure Blood, Vol. 2 is cruising right along! Progress is slow but steady. This is the marathon portion of the campaign. Now we just gotta keep the pressure on!
I'd also like to take a minute to let you know about a couple other cool projects that I think you'll like!
WAILING BLADE
by Rich Douek and Joe Mulvey
Set in a Sci-Fantasy dystopia ruled over by ruthless warlords, Wailing Blade follows The Head-Taker, a merciless executioner who travels the travels the breadth of the Tyrant’s empire, dispensing justice and enforcing his will.
this one is a must for fans of Conan, Elric, Masters of the Universe and other sword & sorcery epics
NIGHTMARE THEATER is a paperback comics anthology collecting horror stories by some of the biggest names in indie comics. With stories inspired by horror cinema--from Poe to Alien, ghosts and ghouls, slasher films, tales of terror, B-Movie scream fests, monster movies, Stephen King creepiness, stylized Kubrick hauntings, Romero zombies, demon possession, occult, and otherwise. This one will definitely scratch that Halloween itch!
In other news...I think it's high time I brought back:
That's right! Every day, one new backer will be chosen at random to get a digital sketch card added on to their reward pledge! Had a lot of fun and did a lot of great sketches the last time, so I can't wait to see what backers come up with this time! But you gotta pledge to win!
Got a few other goodies in store for you, too! But you'll have to stay tuned to find out!
More soon! Be good!
But not too good 😉

Time for GIVEAWAYS!

Inch by inch, we creep ever closer to being funded!
NNow I know there's some folks following along that aren't quite sure they want to join the party yet. If you know anyone, you might want to give them a poke, cause I'm about to sweeten the pot:
All backers between now and %50 funded get a BONUS MINIPRINT added to their reward! And whatever lucky backer pushes us over the halfway point gets a custom sketchcard added to their reward, too!
So that's like... Double Secret Bonus Rewards!
Things are starting to cool down a bit as we settle into the marathon portion of the campaign, so I think I'll talk about something else next time.
More soon!
Till then, be good!
But not too good 😉

A Thpooky Thurprithe for Volume 2!

Hello Beautiful Volume 1 Backers!
Update on Volume 2 progress: So far so good.
Woke up today to %36 funded, so we're chugging along.
But here's the thing: I really want us to get to %50 funded by Midnight on Monday, and I think we can do it! Not only because I want to unveil the %50 Milestone Bonus (something that I think will make your Halloween very Happy) but I want to make sure that as many people as possible get the Steam-Fantasy Bundle.
So let me sweeten the pot!
If we get to %50 by 11:59 PM CST, everyone who has backed up to that point will get an audio commentary track of me and a super special mystery guest expert watching the 1992 classic,
Bram Stoker's Dracula!
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and a perennial favorite for Halloween. Gothic Victorian horror at it's finest! We'll discuss trivia, period styles, character/costume design, vampire mythology, and just generally jam about the movie.
AND you will get it BY HALLOWEEN!
That's right, if we can get to %50 by Midnight Monday, you will get your first campaign reward BEFORE THE CAMPAIGN IS EVEN OVER!!
So if that's something you want to happen, here's what you can do:
•If you've already backed, you can bump your pledge up by a buck or two!
•If you have a friend that would like Impure Blood, send them our way!
•Share the links on social media!
•If you're planning on backing but haven't yet, get your butt in there!
AndMonday at Midnight is the cut off for the Steam-Fantasy Bundle! So if you want that added to your rewards package, you'd best get in there and do it ASAP!
It might be tight, but I know we can do this! And I really want to share with you what Bram Stoker's Dracula means to me during this, my most favorite time of year!
