I really appreciate the site administrator creating this dedicated forum section, because I am an individual who has not created a Kickstarter project of my own, but who very much wanted to have a place to discuss projects that I have backed on Kickstarter.
On Kickstarter, I tend to gravitate mostly toward comic book projects, although I also enjoy browsing all sorts of projects, and have even backed a few non-comic book Kickstarter projects. Of late, I seem to spend as much time on this KickstarterForum.Org site as I spend on Kickstarter, itself, and I try to offer some feedback to people who post here. Hopefully, at least some of my comments have proven useful or helpful to various project creators who seek out advice and feedback, here.
One of the projects that I decided to back is called HP Lovecraft Versus Aleister Crowley. As of the time that I sit down to write this posting, the project is only twenty dollars shy of its funding goal, with a little more than four days left in its campaign cycle.
The project creator is a fellow by the name of Montgomery Borror, but most seem to just call him Monty.
I also have a small blog that I created last year, but which I got sidetracked from in pursuit of another hobby of mine. It's called the Ye Olde Comic Book Temple, and I am trying to get back in the habit of posting on it, although there's not really much in the way of content posted on it, as of yet.
The blog is basically a mish-mash of opinion from yours truly, but I did write a recent entry on it about Monty Borror and his art, for any who might be inclined to check it out. It is titled, "Meet the Maestro of Stylish Horror."
One of my personal favorite pieces of art that Monty Borror did, previously, and which removed any doubt that I may have otherwise had about backing this project was the following one:
Again, that's not an image from the HP Lovecraft Versus Aleister Crowley Kickstarter project, but I think that it showcases Monty Borror's ability within the Lovecraftian genre of horror art.
One of my favorite panels from the Kickstarter project, though, is substantially less detailed than that image, above. It's a scene of a man in a straight jacket being hauled away.
To me, that image makes me wonder what's going to happen to this guy. I really think that this image, or the one of the rats that is on display on the Kickstarter project page would have been better choices than the project image that was actually used. But, again, that's just my opinion, not one that anyone else has to share, necessarily.
Typically, I tend to gravitate towards superhero comic book art, and not horror art, but that didn't stop me from backing this Kickstarter project, just the same.
I encourage one and all to check this project out, whether the horror genre is something that appeals to you or not. With this project now only being $20 short of its funding goal, I really do believe that it will be successful in reaching and exceeding that goal, what with four more days left in this Kickstarter campaign.
If you like it, consider backing it. But, if not, thanks for taking a peek, just the same.
I also hope that you'll consider creating threads for Kickstarter projects that you backed, but which were not Kickstarter projects of your very own.
