Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forums, and have launched my first Kickstarter campaign, that I would absolutely love all your opinions on, and hey... if you're interested, backers are more than welcome. I'll also be checking out your individual projects and on the lookout for great stuff to back.

What is the project?

Teaming up with world-class illustration house, Killustration Studios, world class colourist and letterers, Davi Correia and Deyvison Manes, we're going to bring you comic books based on the fantasy series, Legends of Marithia, starting with Book 1: Prophecies Awakening, Issue 1

We need the help of graphic novel / art / comic fans to help make it happen, and to work our way toward getting Issue 1 on Amazon. As the author, I am taking none of the crowd funding funds for myself, as they are solely for the artists on the project. I am also putting my own money into the artwork as the project goes on.

All backers are greatly appreciated, and spreading the word is also appreciated.

Also, if any of you here have advice for me to help this campaign succeed, I would love to hear it.

What is the story about?

“When her sorceress mother and vampire king father are brutally murdered, Kassina makes a pact with Shindar, the Demon of Darkness.

In exchange for her soul, Kassina obtains power to become the most feared sorceress in all the lands, and vows to exact her revenge on the people for the deaths of her parents.

Granted eternal life, Kassina and her evil are never far away. For many years, the humans and elves of the mystical world of Marithia have lived in an age of peace. But that peace is shattered when King Arman is slain by his own son, a pawn of the vampire sorceress Kassina.

Arman’s murder sparks the most brutal and bloody war ever seen between the Forces of Darkness and the peaceful Marithians. In the midst of the conflict, Vartan, a young knight wrongfully outcast from King Arman’s court, reluctantly discovers he is the subject of a prophecy involving the fabled weapon, Talonsphere.

In alliance with the legendary dragons, he finds himself with the opportunity to rid the world of Kassina and her dark armies forever, and finally return Marithia to an era of peace."

Hi Jaroslav :)

Sounds interesting, and I'll check it out, but you may want to start your own thread in "General Chat + Introduce Yourself"?

No apology necessary, I just think people may not find it if it's buried in my thread ;)

Out of curiosity, did you take a peek at my comic book project? and do you have any feedback?

Hi Jaroslav,

Yes, I can and will add a video. It's being worked on as we speak by a talented guy. Although, I prefer to add a promo video for the books and comic book in general, rather than me talking about it. There's plenty of info in the page, but I think it's pretty well laid out? So people can read what interests them about the project... I hope.

The Legends Kickstarter project is, well, firing up! I got a lot of requests for adding printed rewards for Legends of Marithia: Comic issue 1, and it's now available!

Pages 1 and a fully inked and lettered Page 2 are available on the project page for preview.

Haha heaps of tiredness are pretty common when running a Kickstarter. Coffee becomes your best friend and mid-day naps a close second ;)
