Art update
The comic is almost done! The only thing missing is the cover and it'll go straight to printing!
It looks soooooo good!!
The catalog is 3 items away from finished!
Literal Stick of Death, Luke S. Stovel''s Prosthetic Arm and The Chuck Barbee Special
First 3D scene being rendered right now!
The Dragon's Gate
Packing stuff!
This past Saturday I went to talk with the people that'll do the boxes and I'll have that sorted out this week, bought baggies so everything's easier to pack!
I sent emails your way (using the email you have for BK) regarding our session, so we can talk about what, when and how!
Locking orders
We are looking to lock everything around the first two weeks of August, so make sure you have everything you want!
Xiao Mifeng stickers oopsie
This is the design with the scanlines that's all over the PDF, the service offered transparent stickers so it seemed like a cool idea (and it is) to make these in that material since it'd fit the theme.
HOWEVER, since it's transparent and with no white, they rely on the background you place them on, this is fine and was warned to us by the provider
So for example: They look great on a white surface, however:
The darker the surface, the more it loses its shine
We understand this might not be something everyone wants, and after all, the advertised stickers on the pledge levels did have a white background, thats why: YOU'LL GET 6 XIAO MIFENG STICKERS INSTEAD OF 3! At no extra nothing, they're free.
If this makes you want to buy more, by all means! Now you'll have the best of both worlds
HiveCorp Industries Stickers! The Iron Hive patches!
The gold on the stickers looks SO good!
For those who asked for a visual representation of the station, GOOD NEWS!
Hey! Time has been flying as of late, here's a quick update for this month's progress
The Big Sad™ mentioned on May's update is under control now.
CrossCollab content is done and will be getting to you (digital) soon.
Editing for The Iron Hive on ~95% done
Riki told me something along the lines of "Art can be done by this month, but I have no previews"
Script for the comic is done! Andres Cruz has received it and will update me on the timeline next week
The Invention Catalog from the greatest Ruzt Ratz's content is done! It's missing art and some flavor stuff but the main thing is done, once I finish the cover, it'll get to you as well (digitally)
Concept art for the 3D scenes has started, working on The Dragon Gate, The Mines and a possible extra being the elevators section on The Dragon Gate.
I'm almost done dealing with US taxes, which have been a pain to pay from Colombia (who would've guessed), once I'm done with that, I'll start production on anything that's done (patches, stickers, printing).
Timeline?
The Big Sad™ plus some artist's delays may push back the timeline a bit, the comic is the thing that might take the longest, I don't have exact times right now but I hope that by next month I'll have those numbers for you!
Hey everyone! This update took a bit longer, why? Well, as many suspect, I'm (Abrah) human, and due to that condition, I'm susceptible to such phenomena as "The Big Sad." Since the last update until now my mood has been atrociously low at times, with better days than others but ultimately the average is not the same as it was during Q1. It has nothing to do with the project, just my personal life, but, sadly, it permeates to all other areas in my life.
Even though that's the case, I've made my best effort to keep the ball rolling, and delegate what I can and keep contacting the people in charge of production.
Comic!
@cruzarte shared some cool concept art for the main characters of the comic! Along with two possible designs for the Ruzt Ratz. @gorgona.comics got his draft approved and he came up with something cool! The comic will have parts where it'll give you the option to stop reading and continue the story in a Mothership session of your own!
Patches
They gave me the prices for the quantities we want for the two patches that are ready as well as a timeframe, there's one patch design that still needs to be done by @lesmestiar. Preview for the Ruzt Ratz patch included below
The Iron Hive Art
@lesmestiar is working on backgrounds, on the image, it's planned as Temple, Mines and Black Market
Editing
It's practically done for the main content (80%) and the cross collab is done, Ruzt Ratz catalogue is the only one missing on a spreadsheet where I can get some percents but it's been started and that doesn't have a lot to edit to begin with.
Printing
They finally got back to me! Prices are looking fine for all the content we have, I can't lock them for more than a month but they told me it shouldn't change that much from here until Q3!
What's missing?
I still need to meet with @alexrojas_monstercorner for the art for the Ruzt Ratz Catalogue, he was on a trip to another city to work in SPFX makeup for a production but he's now back
