Month: September 2014

            Hello guys, I hope you’e having a stellar weekend so far! It’s time for another update. 81% I’m absolutely delighted to say that Bust funding has now hit 81% at £983 of our £1,200 goal. We are so close now, so if you happen to know of anyone who might like the comic, please do direct them to our campaign. Thank you so much to everyone who has pitched in so far, this means to much to Chris and I. Page 13 is still in the works, but I thought I should point out that should Bust hit its goal, the other 19 pages won’t take this long to produce. We’re just wary about getting too ahead of ourselves at this stage should – and we HOPE this doesn’t happen! – we fail to hit our target by the close date on October 31. That said, we should have page 13 for you this coming week, so stay tuned for that. Let’s talk about edits This brings me neatly to the topic of edits. I’m spending this afternoon going through the rest of our script to tighten up the grammar some more, and to identify panels where we can insert you £50 backers. Finding places to include our backers on the page will be pretty good fun, and I’m sure you guys will...

Hi guys, how’s it going? Chris has just sent over the rough inked version of page 13, which you’ll remember we posted the initial pencil sketches for last week.  This the last step before the final piece is made, and all the shading, fine detail and dialogue go onto the page. It’s just to give you guys an idea of the level of work that goes into each page at Chris’s end. Let s know what you think and thanks once again for your support. We’ll have the finished page for you shortly...

                Hello backers. I’m starting to lightly ponder my stretch goals for Bust – which will come into play if we hit our target with time to spare. I’m not sure what we could offer up but if you have a second I’m keen for your feedback. I was thinking that for an extra £250 I could do an additional print run of 200 copies (added on to the first batch as it’d work out cheaper in bulk, although that first batch will be signed as per the £5 reward tier). The idea is I could sell them on Etsy to help fund Bust issue #2 so that a second potential Kickstarter would have a lower goal. Stretch goal two could come in the form of an official launch party here in Edinburgh, so that local backers can come pick up their copy and have it signed in person. The money would go towards venue hire and maybe even money behind the bar. We film it and make a nice closing montage for the campaign. I’m also toying with putting a PayPal donate button on the Bust blog for after the campaign, so if anyone fancies helping fund issue #2 ahead of a second Kickstarter, they will have that option. These are just ideas just now but we need to hit that...
