Project Update: Yo Dudes & Dudettes! The Humble Dude's New Sketchbook Needs YOU!



Alright folks, gather 'round! Your friendly neighborhood artist, Steve Rude (the one with the crippling art supply habit!), is back with a brand new sketchbook project: The Art of Steve Rude 2025 Sketchbook!



This bad boy's hitting crowdfunding in January, and lemme tell ya, art supplies ain't cheap. That's why your support is golden!



Speaking of gold, be sure to check out our Patreon page – those dedicated dudes and dudettes get some special deals during the launch.



And hey, while you're at it, head over to our launch page (www.steverude.com/2025skb) and sign up for the Backerkit livestream! We'll be dishing all the juicy details about the sketchbook and maybe even throw in a few laughs.



Now, to keep this humble dude motivated, let's hear it! What kind of goodies would make YOU excited for the next crowdfunder? Hit that poll and let your freak flag fly! (Select all that apply)



See you in January, dudes and dudettes!

Hi Everyone,

We just wanted to let everyone know that work on the comic is currently underway, and to say thank you to everyone for their patience. We joined onto the comictopia project on rather short notice, but during the campaign it became clear that while we love Backerkit for our fulfillment solution, we've just built up too much of a an audience on Kickstarter to try and move everyone over here. So we will be launching issue 1, the full issue, over on Kickstarter next month, and we will have enough art to finalize assembly of the ashcan very soon.

Artist Antonio Baldari also had to take on another gig unexpectedly but is back working on CSR, and also contributed this awesome cover for the upcoming full length issue.

So hopefully if everything lines up right, you will have the ashcans in hand just as everyone is starting to talk about the first issue, before it goes to press. This will also get a wide circulation through comic book stores nation/world-wide, making this limited ashcan release something special. As soon as the new kickstarter pre-launch page is live we will share that too. More to come soon!

In the mean time, if you're into other gratuitous, violent fun, but of the supernatural bent, there's a campaign for the new printing of Mercy Sparx #1 happening right now:

So since the author and aBlaze seem to have washed their hands of the project, I did some digging. The distribution company website has the book for sale on their site and lists the shipping date as march 31, hopefully that means that they will ship our books by then.

Been a month since your last update, ever going to deliver the book or should we start talking to our banks? The creator as already washed her hands of this and moved in to other fundraisers, did you just pass the buck to a "distribution company" then go silent?

I suggest everyone uses the contact details in the FAQ section and ask for answers. I’m Happy to start legal action but we need to pressure the site a bit first.

Project Update: Manufacturing is Complete and Shipment Starts Soon!

Ascendants,
I'm thrilled to announce that we've finished manufacturing all of the rewards for Ascendant: Star-Spangled Squadron Volume II. Not only are the books finished, but so are the ashcans, mini-posters, and canvas posters.

The books were printed by Global PSD, which did the lovely first volume, while the ashcan and posters are being produced by our BackerKit buddy Sagaverse Studios, which has built out a US-based manufacturing facility. The beautiful products our friends from Sagaverse have made can be seen in the screenshot below.

Sagaverse Studio has printed our Aschans, Canvas Posters, and Mini-Posters


All of the shipping for Star-Spangled Squadron Volume II is being handled by our US-based fulfillment house Studio Two. As soon as it arrives - which should be in early March - we'll begin dispatching your rewards. The next update will be the announcement that everything is on its way.

This project, like my other 2025 project (Treasure Tome) had a lot of logistical setbacks magnified by my ill health, so it's a big relief to be able to announce "it's all happening, it's all en route." Thank you for your support and patience. I can't wait for you to get your hands on your glorious rewards!
