Kay the Valkyrie wall print will be launching on KickStarter in the next 24 hours!

Once it launches, the campaign will ONLY LAST 7 DAYS.

To be the first to get the launch notice, you can go to the campaign page or get on my email newsletter.

If you’re broke, share the link far and wide! Every share helps.

That’s all for now! Thank you for checking in.

A One-Week KickStarter Campaign?

I think the last time I ran a one-week-long KickStarter campaign, I ran one for funding Validation’s Final Push. Before that, I did a one-week campaign for Validation’s buttons. I kept those short because the asking goals were kept small. And that’s why I’m doing another one-week-long campaign.

If you missed my previous blog post, here’s the TL;DR: I want to get a new print in the world.

There are two things I’m doing WILDLY different this time.

  1. I’m offering only two main rewards for backers. But…
  2. I’m offering a variety of add-ons so backers can customize their orders!

I’m keeping the asking goal small because I don’t need much to make this happen. Just what I need to make back the cost of supplies. All the rewards for this campaign are things I have available right now. That, or they’re things I can make at home. So fulfillment will be really easy!

This KickStarter campaign SHOULD be ready to launch by Wednesday, Nov. 10.

The campaign is still being reviewed. As soon as it’s ready, I’m announcing the launch to my email newsletter peeps first.

That’s all for now. Stay tuned for more updates.

Thank you for reading!

What’s Next? November 2021 Edition

Now that Inktober is over, what’s next for November?

There are two parts: Comics, and Kickstarter.

FIRST – COMICS

This sketch is for a new comic I’m writing, tentatively called Vanita and The Demon King. I’m scripting it as part of National Novel Writing Month. It’s a writer’s challenge to write a new story in 30 days. USUALLY, you write 50,000 words on a totally new idea. But I’m being a rebel and thumb-nailing comic pages. Really, my goal is to write for an hour a day and get this idea fully sketched out.

If you read the Inktober comic, know this: the story is NOT over yet! New pages will post on my email newsletter once a week. So if you want to see what’s next for our resident cat witch and crow witch, get on that list, yo.

Meanwhile, The Legend of Azu-Mi will have a new page up tomorrow. Next week, Azu-Mi will update twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday. Once Azu-Mi wraps up, The Legend of Jamie Roberts will resume its weekly Wednesday update schedule.

SECOND – KICKSTARTER

The Legend of Azu-Mi is happening because KickStarter backers unlocked it during the campaign for The Legend of Jamie Roberts, volume 1. That campaign’s fulfillment is NEARLY done. Now there are just factors outside of my control to wait on.

Which leads me to…

I want to run a one-week KickStarter to get THIS beauty into print.

All the rewards are things I can print and ship from my in-studio set-up – no outside printer delays required. Right now, I’m planning out add-ons, the budget, and how to make gifting happen. Since we’re so close to the holiday shopping season, I’m considering adding the option for backers to choose if their reward is a gift for someone else…and if they want the rewards directly sent to the giftee.

I’ll be reaching out to my Discord peeps for feedback. If you’re a supporter through Ko-Fi or Patreon, you should already have access to the Tiny Dinos Discord server. Message me on the platform if you do not and you want to get on board.

With any luck, a campaign preview will be up by the end of this week. But email subscribers will be the first to know when it launches.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Thanks for reading!

Vote for October’s Sticker of the Month Pick

time to vote for October's sticker of the month! Two options are presented in black silhouette.

If you’re new around here: I made my Patreon page into a Sticker of the Month club. Today, I opened the polls, so folks can vote for October’s sticker.

Votes will be tallied between today and October 6. But ONLY Patrons can vote for the design. So if you want to vote, head to Patreon and sign up. $1 a month gets you the vote (plus access to my Discord server, Tiny Dinos). $10 a month will get you the sticker in your mailbox each month.

Broke? That’s ok – share the club with friends who love stickers! Every share helps.

That’s all for now. Thanks for checking this out!

Away From Keyboard, Be Back Soon

I need to be away from the keyboard for a few days, but I’ll be back soon.

Why? First, I seem to have come down with a cold a few days ago. And it won’t leave. So I’m resting as much as I can.

Second, I’m out of town this weekend to check on my family. The catch is, my family lives in an area with no cell signal or internet. So I won’t be able to answer emails or direct messages, much less post content.

SOME posts here on this blog, The Legend of Jamie Roberts’ site, and Patreon will be scheduled ahead of time. But for posts on Ko-Fi and Instagram, those will not be scheduled.

For folks waiting on commissions, especially from KickStarter campaigns: I’ll work on your requests between naps. They’ll get done. Just…slowly.

Thank you for your patience.

You. Are. Awesome.
