With two-thirds of the campaign passed, we’ve just reached the 68% mark!  According to Kickstarter’s analytics, campaigns that reach 60% have a 98% chance of becoming fully funded, so I was very excited when that hurdle was cleared yesterday morning!

With the campaign in its final days, I will be upping my sales game.  You may even be hearing from me directly!

To check out the Kickstarter campaign for yourself, please visit www.LOTD-Comic.com.  I also made a recent post about a way you can help promote the project!

Livestreams

Livestream replays are posting daily to the BWHComics YouTube channel right now!  If you’re interested in seeing some of the process, please check them out!

​That said, I may not be able to do a livestream this weekend.  I have been invited by my friend Trickssi to go to Anime Crossroads (as an attendee, not as a tabler), so I will be out of town.  We have, however, discussed the possibility of doing a livestream from the hotel, but that will be dependent on the internet quality and our busy schedules.  Keep an eye out!

Wrap-Up

Well, that’s it!  I’ve got to finish packing for that con!

If you want to support my work further, please visit my online store.  I also have Patreon and Ko-Fi accounts if those are more your speed.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

Passing the halfway point on Kickstarter is an important moment.  Statistically, a campaign that clears this hurdle has a substantially higher likelihood of making its goal.  There’s still a ways to go before we’re in the clear, however, so I have no intention of resting just yet!

Livestreams

I will be streaming today at 2 PM EST on my YouTube channel!  Stop by to watch me make a dummy of the booksleeve for the Special Edition copies of The Legacy of L!

​I still plan to stream every Saturday at 2 PM EST on my YouTube channel.  I will post an announcement on Patreon and on my social media accounts if that will be changing.

Well, that’s it!  I’ve got a stream to get ready for.

Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.

I will be tabling alongside Jaromir Stoll at this year’s Indie Comics Fair at the Ace of Cups!  If you live in the Columbus area, this is a particularly good con for meeting and interacting with local cartoonists.  And, if you’re a drinker, it’s hosted in a bar, so win-win!  Hope to see you on March 7th!

The Letters of the Devil

Greetings and salutations!

We’re off to a good start!  A particular shout-out to my friends at the Play Disc Podcast for all the promotional support they’ve given!

Without further ado, let’s begin!

The Letters of the Devil II

The Kickstarter is off to a fantastic start!  We are over a quarter of the way to the goal with 25 days still left!  Some of the higher-ticket items, like Special Editions and the limited-quantity original illustrations, are already being claimed, so I wouldn’t sleep on this if I were you!

I’m legitimately trying to avoid turning my Patreon and my mailing list into a 24/7 shill-a-thon, but Kickstarters mean an increase in activity, so I will be posting more often than I normally do.  My plan to stem the flow is to do newsletters once every 5 days, and to otherwise try to restrict my posts about the Kickstarter (barring any big, sudden developments).

If, for some reason, you DO want to keep a closer eye on what’s going on with the campaign, the best way is to follow my social media accounts, which will be shamelessly plugging this project for the next month!  I have accounts on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook that will be posting regular updates.  I also made a recent post about a way you can help promote the project!

Livestreams

I recently did a livestream with Kelci Crawford and had an absolute BLAST doing it.  While I’ve done quite a few art livestreams in the past, I’ve never just sat down and had a conversation with someone on a stream before, and I very much liked it.  It’s made me realize that I need to experiment with streaming more than I have been.

I am tentatively planning on doing at least one livestream a week during the month of February.  Some may be solo, like my past CosPain Live Draws; some may have guests, perhaps other cartoonists or friends in the cosplay community; and some may be much more outside-of-the-box.

I’m going to tentatively plan to stream every Saturday at 2 PM EST, but I will post an announcement on Patreon and on my social media accounts if that will be changing.  I will also be doing much of my streaming on my YouTube channel instead of my Twitch channel to see which platform better suits my needs.

Wrap-Up

All right, time to put my salesman hat back on and get out there!

If you want to support my work further, please visit my online store.  I also have Patreon and Ko-Fi accounts if those are more your speed.

Greetings and salutations!

Happy New Year!  I’m excited for 2020, and I hope you’re all looking forward to it, as well.  Without further ado, let’s begin!

Panels

So I didn’t properly announce it anywhere but on social media, but I ended up doing two panels recently!  I got to do my CosPain Live Draw panel at Super MAGFest, and I got to do my Whodrawnit panel at Ohayocon!  Thank you to everyone who turned up for those events.

As an additional side note, Super MAGFest has a policy that I very much like, where they record all of their panels and post them on YouTube.  Once the footage from this panel posts, I’ll be sure to let you all know!

The Letters of the Devil II

The post-production process has finally picked up speed!  At the current rate, I should be done by the end of the month!  Huzzah!

​As a note, completion of these pages does NOT mean that the book will be ready right away.  I’m still going to be setting up the file, writing up an introduction and a “Making Of” section, working things out with the printer, etc. etc.  But completion of these pages will mean that the story is done.  Everything else is just the behind-the-scenes sausage-making you don’t really want to see.  And it also means that it’s almost time for …

The Legacy of L Kickstarter

I’m finally pulling the trigger on this!  Barring any last-minute crises, the campaign will start on February 1, 2020 and run until March 1, 2020!  Rewards will include PDF, paperback, and Special Edition copies of the book, as well as options to get copies of the first book in case you missed out on it!  This time, I will be asking for a total of $2,000, which is double the goal for the campaign for the first book!  I’ll be sure to notify you all when the campaign is live and milestones are hit.

​Wrap-Up

The stage is set, and now that I’ve officially told you about the Kickstarter, it’s gotta happen.  Time to get back to work.

Hi guys!  Did you miss me?  Sorry it’s been so long, but I’ve had my nose to the grindstone on Letters and have some important news to announce!  Without further ado, let’s begin!

And now, time for the big news.

The Letters of the Devil II

So I’m going to start with the bad news, get it out of the way.  I had originally wanted the book to be completely done on 12/15 (you know, TODAY).  Unfortunately, that has not been possible, what with going home for the holidays, dealing with some technical issues, and other problems you probably don’t wanna hear about.  So I have pushed the deadline back again.


I will be shooting to finish by 12/31.  I REALLY want this book to be done this year, but to be honest … this is a tall order.  I may have to push the deadline into the New Year.

That said, I do have good news.

When I released the first book, I included a teaser for the sequel, stating that it was coming in 2019.  That’s why I’ve been so eager to get this book completed this year; I made that promise, and I want to keep it, at least in some form.  So, I have made an important decision: I am going to post the Prologue online.

Starting tomorrow, 12/16, my $3+ Patrons will start receiving pages on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and these pages will become available to the general public a week later on my Patreon and on my website.  At this rate, it will take just over 5 weeks for all the pages to post, at which point I should be prepared enough to announce the Kickstarter.

Wrap-Up

All right, enough break time.  I have a comic to finish.

Greetings and salutations!

It’s been a busy few weeks!  Without further ado, let’s begin!

Livestreams

As you can see from the plethora of links in the Recently Released section, I have finally gotten a chance to edit and post some of my old livestreams!  I do intend to get better about posting the replays.  Issues with Letters caused unavoidable delays, but things are in better shape now.

I am recovering from a case of con crud (yes, again), but I hope to do my next livestream this Saturday and Sunday starting at 7:00 PM EDT.  This one will be a little special, as I will be doing two strips at the same time to show off a new workflow I’m trying with CosPain.

If you’re interested in seeing the replays as they come out, the best way is to follow my YouTube channel, or my Twitch channel if you want to join in on the livestreams, well, live!
