Back From The Void!
Oh, admit it. You missed me.
I can’t believe that I’ve been M.I.A. for nearly two months. The post-Kickstarter campaign burnout is real. Crowdfunding is an exhausting undertaking for anyone but pile on my ‘up to 84-hour workweek’ and it’s a recipe for creative burnout for sure. I’m slowly digging my way out of the hole once again with the almighty power of caffeine.
KICKSTARTER UPDATE.
For all Rayna: The Bastard Queen #1 Kickstarter backers, pdfs have been sent out.
For all physical reward backers, the books have been ordered but the printer is behind schedule now. The variant covers are here now and boy do they look GORGEOUS!!! You can see the Nathan Kelly Metallic Virgin Cover here:
DO A KICKFLIP!
Also, Kickstarter backers who added the Rayna skate decks to their orders have theirs in hand now. This complete skateboard came in this week and it is SO BADASS!!!
RAYNA: The Bastard Queen #2 UPDATE!
While we wait for the printer to send us the Rayna #1 order, you’d best believe we are hard at work getting Rayna #2 closer and closer to finished so we can hit our Issue #2 launch date. For everyone who supported Issue #1 and can’t wait to see what we have cooking for you, you can check out this sneak peek of Issue #2 now. If you’re new to the world of Rayna: The Bastard Queen, maybe this look at an inked page from Rayna artist Stan Yak will convince you to jump aboard the Rayna hype train!
Rayna: The Bastard Queen gets much darker in Issue #2. She’s definitely been through some shit and it may or may not get much worse going forward. Subscribe to this very substack to keep up on all things Rayna coming soon.
