Cura Year Two Kickstarter
Avast!
So, I have been away for a bit, prepping, working hard, checking out options, and soon, very soon, we will have a CURA YEAR TWO KICKSTARTER!
It is approved, ready to go, and all I have to do is finish final prep and start it up. We are shooting for Wednesday May 29th at 9AM Pacific, 12 noon Eastern to start this ball rolling!
I will share more details in the coming week and add countdowns and Twitter pics and other fun things as we get closer, but for today I figure for today I’ll share two pictures, the first the finished colors by the awesome Octavio Cordova, and the second a working draft for our final cover (which will likely be tweaked in the days ahead):
If you want to check out the process Octavio went through to make the cover, check out his awesome blog!
We’re going to need everyone’s help to make this work… here we go!
Badass! I can’t wait for the kickstarter.
So…it will be out for purchase May 29th? Or is there a intermediate step I’m not understanding?
It will be funded (hopefully) through Kickstarter, a fundraising website where basically, you give as much as you want/can in exchange for multiple tiers of the project in question.
In our case, we’ll have stuff you can get for five bucks, stuff you can get for a hundred bucks, etc, but what will happen is the book will fund, or the book will not fund, and after that, I send out the books and whatnot. They’ll likely be available in August.
The reason to do this is that instead of the artist having to front the cash for the production costs (which is significant), instead the money can be raised or not raised (it’s an all-or-none thing, if the Kickstarter fails or comes in under target, we don’t get funding). That way, if there’s not going to be enough cash to fund the print run, I can save the ensuing year of credit hell and scrambling to put food on my table/etc.
It’s a really cool thing, actually.
The Kickstarter is starting on the 29th right? Not being funded? If the 29th is the end, then I better get off my ass and give you my money pronto.
Correct! The counter was unclear on that, sorry. I have added “begins in” as several folks have reported the same confusion. Thanks for the heads-up, and thanks for the promise of support! 🙂
I’m so excited for this!
