Project Update: Y'all Blew Through Stretch Goal 1 Already! 😱😱😱😭😭😭

Hey, hey Bloodlings! πŸ©ΈπŸ©ΈπŸ©ΈπŸ’‰πŸ’‰πŸ’‰

Wow! Y'all we blew through Stretch Goal 1 by Day 2!

That means everyone gets stickers! If you're on a digital tier, it'll be a PDF of a sticker sheet. If you're on a physical tier, you'll get stickers in the mail. If you're on a tier with both, you'll get both!

I'll run a poll to see which of these designs y'all want. You get to choose 5!

Stickers!


Now it's time to focus on Stretch Goal #2: An additional short story!

If we hit $1000, you'll get an eighth story! For physical backers, it'll come in the mail as an insert. For digital backers, you'll receive a digital copy of the story. If you backed a level with both, you'll receive both!

When we get closer to the end of the campaign, I'll run a poll asking you which character you want the additional story from!

Stretch Goal 2: $1000

We're only $325 or so away, so I know we can do it! Let's make Day 3 Successful, yeah!

Here's some more in progress photos of the new artwork to keep the momentum:

Mihnea Mood Board


Mihnea

Mihnea is the son of Vladimir TepΓ©s, or Vlad the Impaler. The Brotherhood of Blood (2026) is his story. So, of course, he made it into Blood Lies.

Voica Mood Board


Voica

Voica's father is an assassin, so it makes sense that she'd know how to fight and kill. Her mood board is barred on a present day version of her, but Blood Lies is historical fiction, so the art is going to reflect that.

Islyn Mood Board


Islyn

Islyn is in her 20s in this picture because her story takes place in the early 2000s. Is that historical fiction? Depends on who you ask,  but I'm counting it since the pre-digital world was vastly different from rust we have now. In this image she's taking a hike to clear her mind and think of ways she can locate her twin brother, Indigo. 

When Nelts and I were discussing poses, this is what she came up with. I think they turned out great. What about you?

Shiloh's campaign also has some pretty art work, and her book is all about mermaids. So, don't forget to back my Cross-Collab partner.



Last, Week 1 polls close soon. So make sure you answer them ASAP! Week 2 polls are open, and I'll be sending the Poll Package for it soon.

That said, some of Week 2 Poll answers are in this update! Especially the one attached to this update. So, what are you waiting for? Go earn some points!
