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!
If you had an existing order from www.steverude.com, when you fill out your survey, please use the order box to let us know so we can combine your shipments!
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!).
We're pleased to announce we raised nearly $29,000 between Backerkit and Kickstarter for Steve's How to Draw Figures book coming in August.
Sadly we were just shy of our $30,000 goal so no new chapters will be added, but we'll be making the most of the space we have!
Stay turned for sneak peeks as the book comes together.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM HERE
It takes about 2 weeks for Kickstarter to ensure all the funds have cleared and transfer them to us. In the meantime, we are working hard to put together all the necessary survey questions so you can get checked out.
EARLYBIRD REWARD
We always reward our backers for completing checkout quickly once they are released. This time around that is June 12-18. We'll send email updates closer to that time with more details!
NEXT PROJECT IN THE WORKS!
What's next? We're joining up with Backerkit for PrintTopia and a brand new Nexus project! Stay tuned for details and to vote on the scope of the project! We're hoping to run it alongside Kickstarter again.
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION REGARDING NEXUS PROJECTS
We've received questions about an upcoming Nexus Omnibus crowdfunder by Mike Baron. We want to be absolutely clear: Steve Rude is not involved whatsoever with this project, nor is he receiving any royalties or funding of any kind from it.
Mike Baron’s Omnibus crowdfunder is an entirely separate initiative and is not affiliated with Steve Rude Art, Rude Dude Productions, or this campaign in any way.
Mike Baron and Steve had an amicable split, and agreed to let the other do their own thing with the character. Reprinting older material and redoing the art was disappointing, but Steve wishes him the best on the project.
