Lycan: Solomon's Odyssey Updates 7/10/22

Hey everyone! Hope you had a great week!

Lots going on this week with Chapters 1 & 2!

Chapter 1

All the Kickstarter orders (aside from some people on vacation and one person who hasn't filled out their survey) have had their rewards shipped out! I love seeing the posts come in on twitter and elsewhere of people getting their goodies. So far, the reviews have also been all positive! I'm sure that trend won't last forever, but its a nice feeling while it lasts!

The website is up and running and we even had our first online sale! hiveheadstudios.com if you know anyone who might be interested in the book, I offer a free sample of the book on the site too!

I started signing up for conventions! I have booked quite a few in August, one in September, and then a few more between October and November. My first convention is August 6th. I'm very nervous, so fingers crossed!

I had my first signing this week at our local shop. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed. It was no fault of the store, they were lovely. It was just a matter of timing. We had the signing the same week as "Bike Week." Those of you familiar with Gettysburg during Bike Week can attest, if you're not into motorcycles, you avoid town like the plague until the following Monday. Aka tomorrow. 

Chapter 2

The book is completely drawn! I just got page 60 in today! Now the book needs to be colored, and then finally it needs to be lettered. The only thing remaining at that point would be to finish the final 2 covers.

One cover is done, one cover is in production, but that leaves me with one mystery cover. Today at the signing, the shop owner Art suggested I reach out to a local artist who makes some of the covers for D&D books, as well as Marvel and DC. He is most likely way out of my budget, but I worked out a deal with Art that we would split the cost in exchange for him keeping the original art. I was fine with that!

I finished the script for the next Kickstarter video. Now I just need to buy like..20-50 feet of chains...

Once the video is done, that'll be one more step towards getting that launch page up and running. However, I rely heavily on covers for the Kickstarter art, so I'm hoping those will get done sooner rather than later.

Chapter 3

No real updates at this time. Not sure when production will begin, character sketches may start this year, but the meat and potatoes of the book might not get started until the beginning of next year. 

Those are all the updates I have at this time! Thanks again for your interest! Take care and have a great week!
