TLDR: more about us + milestone achievements stickers reveal
Happy Tuesday Earthlings!
We now sit at over 20% funded, and it's very heartwarming for us to witness the support you're giving us, especially since we're kind of new to the comics scene.
Kej and Ines have been making art for years, but this is their first foray (and not the last!) into sequential storytelling, and honestly they should be on everyone's radar because if those preview pages don't convince you, I don't know what will! They are a true dream to collaborate with, and I can't imagine working on this project with anyone else.
As for me (MH), I am mainly an author of novels. But I do write scripts, and I've been told more than once that my prose is cinematic & immersive, so comics are something that can also suit my writing style well. I often love deconstructing panels and thinking in terms of sequential flow. When that happens, I know the story I'm thinking about needs to be told in comics form! Thanks to another bunch of wonderful backers like you, my debut graphic novel was just released at the beginning of this year. In it, Elsa Charretier wrote the foreword and said that 'MH is just getting started'...I guess she was right, and I hope you guys will enjoy my endeavours.
But enough about how, as small indie creators, we are oh so happy to have you all on board of this adventure with us :)
The main reason I wrote this update in the first place is that WE HAVE COOL NEWS!
The 48h bookmark incentive is officially gone (it's still available as an add-on for anyone interested in grabbing one, though), but we are switching things up to offer you guys more fun things!
We are introducing a sticker sheet made of 12 total stickers drawn by Oliver Elias (@vervaynn on IG, @vervayn.bsky.social on Bluesky), and all inspired by the Back To Earth Universe! As soon as we get funded, everyone at a physical tier will get the sheet + digital tiers will get it as a digital wallpaper!
How does it works, you might ask?
For every 1k we fund toward our goal, a new sticker will be unlocked! Which means that we currently have 2/12 stickers unlocked. The designs will be unveiled in the next few days, but I wanted to announce it here first because we're pretty excited about them!
Talk soon with new stickers designs, and hopefully even more fun news! Take care of each other. We also want you to know that if you have any questions we're always happy to answer them so don't hesitate.
Until next time. Cheers, MH, Kej & Ines
PS Kej drew this to celebrate the 1/5 funded. If we keep this going, I'm sure they will draw more of Sasha & Leora being all lovey dovey...and I personally want to see that so let's get this funded + Kej drawing!
