Okay, we're over a week into the new year now and I'm getting back to work!
I hope you've all had a relaxing break and that 2026 has been kind to you so far. I managed to catch whatever illness was going around over the holidays, so I wasn't as productive as I'd like, but art briefs have been sent to the portrait artist and map artist. I'm looking forward to sharing updates on those in the coming weeks. Massively excited, honestly, they make great art!
I'm working on the fake TV guide for the digital reward tiers. If you don't know me well enough yet, I tend to go overboard with these things, so it's not just a list of TV shows in the world, but a full magazine with articles and interviews as though it came from the real city of Aefenhold. My aim is to introduce you to this world, its characters, and the magic you'll find via the medium of a gossip magazine. Yes, it's a little extra 😂
Here's a sneak peak at the cover WIP:
Not the final cover, but getting there!
Next week, I also aim to send out the first surveys for people awaiting their digital rewards. I'm new to Backerkit and crowdfunding in general, so I want to make sure I get this right, especially as the book itself will be released separately. Thank you for your patience while I navigate this!
In the meantime, I'm being harassed by my kitten - literally as I type - so enjoy some kitty pics to tide you over:
