Latest Updates from Our Project:

All remastered pages and custom pages rendered! + Star Warrior OC questions E-mails sent
over 4 years ago – Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 04:40:45 PM

    Hey everyone! Sorry for the radio silence, I was busy finishing the remastered pages and custom pages!

    The good news is that every single remastered and custom page has been completed dialogue and all! This means that I am now assembling the pages for Print Ninja! It feels good to have drawn everything finally!

    I am so excited to share this, here is the first page as a teaser!

    I have registered for ISBN numbers, these will be used so that the book can be catalogued in libraries and stores in the future, I will need to wait a bit for confirmation so that I can have the numbers sent to me.

    While the pages are rendered, I still need to compile the extra content I will display in the book and all your names. I think I will be able to send everything to the printing press by late November. It is important to say though that Print Ninja have told me that their production time around November is a bit slower. I will post status updates when I can about the printing process!

    Now, about the Star Warriors OC commissions!

It's time to work on your Star Warrior OC commissions!

    I have sent an E-mail/Discord message to every backer who is going to get a Star Warrior OC commission. If you are a tier 8 or higher backer and you have yet NOT received an E-Mail, please E-mail me at [email protected]

Please note the following:

        - The commissions are not a first come first serve basis, they will be done in no particular order.

        - I won't work on the commissions right away. I am currently compiling information so that I may work on them when I find the time to do so. A date for when the last piece will be finished will be given as soon as I know when.

        -Please remember the rules for OC commissions.https://1drv.ms/w/s!AqWxoGjwg7nChzBPTQhGOalMJn1i

        -And yes, all OC characters that I draw could be selected for a cameo appearance in the webcomic in the future.

    There is more work to be done, but we are close to the printing process! Only a bit more remains!

    Best wishes!

Progress Report: Aiming to finish all book content by end of October
over 4 years ago – Sat, Sep 21, 2019 at 08:34:22 AM

    Hey everyone, It's been more than a month since the latest update (the previous update was a draft that got posted by mistake ^^u) I've been working hard on the content for the book, and I can finally estimate that it will all be completed by October.

    I'll be taking time off from the webcomic and my Patreon this October so that I can focus entirely on finishing the book. I worked hard these past months on the remasters, and I know it has taken quite some time, but I want to make sure that these remasters and custom pages are the best pages I can make for everyone who has supported me throughout this endeavor. And admittedly, I've been feeling sick since the past few weeks too which is also slowing me down severely.

    While the remastered pages may look similar, I want to make sure they really look like they have been remastered. Looking back at my past work this way makes me feel proud of how far I've come artistically. Here is my latest completion report!

  • Chapter 0 Cover COMPLETE
  • Chapter 0 Page 1-2 Colored (70%)
  • Chapter 0 Page 3-4 COMPLETED
  • Chapter 0 Page 5-6 COMPLETE
  • Chapter 0 Page 7-8 COMPLETE
  • Chapter 1 Cover COMPLETE
  • Chapter 1 Page 5-6 Linearted (45%)
  • Chapter 1 Page 13 COMPLETE
  • Chapter 1 Page 20-21 COMPLETE
  • Chapter 1 Page 24-25 COMPLETE
  • Chapter 2 Cover COMPLETE
  • Chapter 2 Page 16 Colored (75%)
  • Chapter 2 Page 18 COMPLETE
  • Chapter 2 Page 23 Colored (70%)
  • Meet a Star Warrior 1 COMPLETE
  • Meet a Star Warrior 2 Colored (60%)
  • Custom Page 1 Sketched (30%)
  • Custom Page 2 Linearted (60%)

    I'm so close I can almost feel the pages turning in my hands!

    I will soon be purchasing an ISBN code for the book as well! I'm getting into the phase where I can start ordering merchandise and buying the stuff required to complete the book.

    I hope this delay doesn't put a dent into your desire to obtain the book, I am doing the best I can to make sure the book turns out to be outstanding!

    Best Wishes!

Progress Report
over 4 years ago – Mon, Aug 12, 2019 at 04:31:18 PM

  Hey everyone, sorry for being silent! I've just been working hard on the page remasters and custom content.

  Turns out, making the equivalent of 16 pages of reworks and custom content while also working on the webcomic itself is rather hard to do quickly. I'll be honest and admit that I did not correctly calculate my workload. I am doing my best to get the book print order out asap but I do expect a delay for reward fulfillment. I think it is worth it though, these page remasters are coming along great!

  Here is a sample of remastering that I have done so far! I am so happy that my favorite pages to work on are many of your favorite moments in the webcomic.

  That's made this so enjoyable! 

  For example, where Ezmeralda's mind delves into darkness from fear. I was able to add more to the page with the better format, leading to a better sense of solitude than before. Also the page where Stella ascends Ezmeralda, I was able to get better panels that I prefer far more. We even get a shot of Ezmeralda's soul leaving her body!

  As promised, here is the work I have done for the remastered pages, including more to come! (Note, this does not include dialogue since it will be done at the end for book formatting.) 

  • Chapter 0 Cover COMPLETED (100%)
  • Chapter 0 Page 1-2 Colored (70%)
  • Chapter 0 Page 3-4 COMPLETED (100%)
  • Chapter 0 Page 5-6 COMPLETED (100%)
  • Chapter 0 Page 7-8 Colored (65%)
  • Chapter 1 Cover COMPLETED (100%)
  • Chapter 1 Page 5-6 Linearted (45%)
  • Chapter 1 Page 13 Colored (80%)
  • Chapter 1 Page 20-21 COMPLETED (100%)
  • Chapter 1 Page 24-25 Sketched (35%)
  • Chapter 2 Cover COMPLETED (100%)
  • Chapter 2 Page 16 Linearted (65%)
  • Chapter 2 Page 18 COMPLETED (100%)
  • Chapter 2 Page 23 Linearted (60%)

   In regards to custom content for the higher backers, here is that progress: 

  • Meet a Star Warrior 1 Colored (70%)
  • Meet a Star Warrior 2 Colored (60%)
  • Custom Page 1 Sketched (20%)
  • Custom Page 2 Planning (0%)

  Alongside this, I am currently picking content I want to add for the extras. There are a lot of sketchbooks in the depths of my home that hold many MANY sketches since 2014. I can't add everything, but I will be picking the most interesting ones for the extra content in the book!

  Best wishes to everyone!

Progress Update and a note for those who didn't fill the Backerkit form
almost 5 years ago – Mon, Jul 08, 2019 at 02:05:38 AM

 Hey everyone, I want to first apologize for not updating the day after the Backerkit forms closed. Things got busy over here, but in a good way!

  In any case, I want to give a short update regarding the Backerkit forms and how they panned out.

  A vast majority of you submitted your form and that's awesome! Thank you so much for the tips too, they help cover any sudden expenses with fulfillment!

  However, a few people were unable to submit their form. I will email you within the next 48 hours if this was the case. The most I can do for you now is get a shipping address. I can not offer Backerkit form options nor store options to you past this point, sorry! Please do reply to my email, it is the only way I can get the book to you if you did not submit a Backerkit form!  

  I want to share more progress on the work I've been doing, such as lineart of the custom comic pages for a pledger and a remaster page. 

  Readers of the webcomic will notice that some of the characters of the story appear now in this page when previously they were only basic silhouettes, I'm happy to be able to add new things to the page remasters, I feel it helps make for a stronger comic as well.

  Working with my pledger on their custom comic pages has been great, they gave great feedback on some of the panels and great ideas too, so we came up with this fun fight scene that has character growth for their character as well. 

  The production on pages is taking a bit longer to complete than anticipated, I will update soon with more details and a list of what has been completed.

  Best wishes to everyone!
