Colours are finally in the can! The edits from Allison and Norm are done as well and the pages are on their way to our letterer, Oceano. I'm really glad we had the time to get the whole book coloured in one go. If you'll remember, last time we only had half the book coloured before we ran the kickstarter. Which meant we only really had half a book to show off, and then had to take a lot of time post-kickstarter to finish colouring it. Now, we've got all that work done ahead of time! The only work left on the page after the kickstarter will be inserting our cameos. Here's a little preview!

KICKSTARTER PLANS
With colors completed and letters in the works, the team is now in kickstarter prep mode! That means building the budget, contacting a printer, building the page and designing rewards. Tentatively, we are thinking of a late February launch. As far as rewards: Speaking and Walk on Cameos will make their return, digital and traditional commissions as well. We're also looking at stickers and a dedicated print reward! That's all we can say for now. I'll have more concrete details for you in late January / early February! Until then, I'm working on the cover for Book 2!
That's it for this month! As always, feel free to reach out to meor Normon bluesky with any thoughts or questions.
