AND FINALLY - A DISCOUNT FROM DUDE AND CREW!
I'm running out of art supplies and the order came to over $1,000, so Gino says I have to announce a sale -- use the code thankyou25 in our store for 25% of ANYTHING including original art. We almost never include the art so enjoy - and my art supply habit thanks you!
Great news! It's been two weeks since our crowdfunder closed, and we're ready to start sending out post-campaign surveys!
We're kicking things off by sending surveys to 5% of backers from each pledge level as a test. So don't worry if you don't see your survey link right away – we'll send out another update once all surveys have been sent.
Special Thank You & Print Offer
As a special thank you to everyone who completes their survey by June 18th, you'll receive a free random letter-size print! These are high-quality, professionally printed images. You can also upgrade to a signed print for just $5, choose a digital print, or opt out of a print entirely.
It's Not Too Late!
Missed out on the crowdfunder? It's not too late to get in on the action! Use code h2d2025ks for free shipping. This can be combined with nexus25 for 25% off all Nexus store items, including art!

What's Next: Printopia!
We're excited to announce that we've been invited to participate in a 3-week crowdfunder with Backerkit - Printopia! We'll be printing a magazine-size preview of Return to Earth, featuring all pages along with the script and extras. We're planning both softcover and hardcover options, exclusive prints, and even original art sketches (you choose the character, drawn live on YouTube!).
First off, a huge, heartfelt THANK YOU for being awesome and backing my "How to Draw" crowdfunder! Seriously, you guys rock.
As I'm already dreaming up new projects and figuring out how to make things even better next time, I'd absolutely love to hear your honest thoughts on how this campaign went. No sugarcoating needed – just tell me what you really think!
Here are a few things I'm curious about:
Kickstarter & BackerKit Crew: How did you feel about us using Kickstarter for the main campaign and then BackerKit for managing pledges and all the cool add-ons? Was that a smooth ride for you, or did anything feel a bit clunky?
The "Secret" Levels: Remember those hidden levels? What did you think of them? Were they a fun surprise, or did they feel a bit like a puzzle you didn't quite want to solve? Spill the beans on how we could make those clearer (or maybe even ditch them?) in the future.
Patreon Perks: If I were to offer some special goodies on Patreon related to this project (or similar ones down the road), what kinds of things would make you say, "Yes, please!"? Think exclusive tutorials, behind-the-scenes peeks, early access, or even some personalized feedback. What gets you excited?
The Whole Shebang: Overall, what was your vibe on the campaign? What did you dig the most? And what, if anything, could we have totally knocked out of the park even better?
Keeping You in the Loop: How was the communication throughout the campaign? Did you feel like you got enough updates, or were you left wondering what was happening? Any thoughts on how I could keep you better informed next time?
Pledge Tiers & Rewards: Did the different pledge levels and rewards feel right to you? Was there anything you really wanted that wasn't offered, or something that didn't quite hit the mark?
Spreading the Word: How did you first hear about the campaign? And if you've got any genius ideas on how to reach more awesome people like yourselves for future projects, I'm all ears!
Your Wild Cards: Anything else on your mind that I didn't ask about? This is your chance to share any feedback, ideas, or random thoughts you have!
Seriously, every bit of feedback helps me grow and make the next thing even better. Thanks for being so amazing!
