Project Update: Important news about our delivery schedule
Hi everyone,
As stated in the past two updates, Ines was dealing with excruciating pain in their wrists which prevented them from drawing as much as they wanted the past two months. The latest update on that situation is that they went to the doctor and they now have to go to the physio and get a plan of medical exercises to help them deal with the pain on a day to day basis as well as get generally better. They are currently looking at finding a specialist in their area for it at the same time that the doctor prescribed them to also do some more exams to rule out other more dangerous conditions that would require surgery, etc.
To be completely transparent with you, we considered switching pencillers to be able to deliver this project earlier/on schedule for you all, but we figured that Ines' style is pretty much ingrained in the visuals now, and having non-consistent art is not something we want to do if only for the quality of the product we want to deliver. We made this together, we'll finish together kinda thing.
A few other points:
- We were aiming at sending the books to print before the big Thanksgiving rush quickly followed by the Holiday rush in the US to not get into any delays and also for shipping to not occur during the busiest time of the year (where packages often get delayed or lost in transit, etc). It's also a time when shipping companies increase their prices because of the influx of packages they receive so we wanted to dodge that as much as possible as well. But now with Ines' health, we are thinking that we will give them time to recover properly, assess a new schedule, and send the books to print early next year (after all the holidays shenanigans). As always, we will keep you posted at each step, and we are still working on it, albeit more slowly than anticipated.
- Addresses won't get locked before we are ready to ship so fear not if you need to update yours, you will receive a reminder (as well as a direct update from me beforehand) when we are ready to lock them.
We thank you immensely for your understanding, and as always we remain available if you have any questions, inquiries or concerns at any moment :) Don't hesitate.
Until next time (with hopefully some good news!),
