Lycan: Solomon’s Odyssey Updates 7/3/22

Hello! Hopefully everyone is having a great week and 4th of July weekend (for those of you in the US). 

Lots of updates for you this week!

Chapter 1

As I mentioned last week, the books arrived! I promised the backers of the Kickstarter that I would deliver all the rewards by the end of this week, and I did. For the most part.

While all the major rewards are out, save for a few people who requested me to hold them until they returned from vacation, there were a few smaller rewards missing due to my miscalculations. 

I missed extras that were purchased, because Kickstarter doesn't do a great job of conveying that people bought extras unless you click on their individual names. That might not make sense, but if you are using the backer report to break down rewards based on reward tier level, it tells you nowhere in there that people bought extras. You have to individually click on every name to see that. Lesson learned for next time.

So, because of this, I was two shirts short. I talked with two friends that had the same size and they were kind enough to just wait for there's at a later date. I was also short on pins, which was entirely my fault. I misread my stretch goals and thought the pins were for a higher reward tier, so I was short about 30 pins. I've already rectified both issues by getting the ball rolling on ordering more.

All in all, there were well over 200 packages sent out this week, and my house hasn't fully recovered from me turning our record room into a shipping facility. I've ALMOST cleaned it up, but I'm feeling extra lazy haha.

Chapter 2

We received the finished drawn pages for 55 and 56, with the layout for 57. The book is so close to being completely drawn!

No coloring or lettering updates at this time, but I did speak with the letterer about possibly changing up the logo ever so slightly to have it be more in theme with the story of the book.

Chapter 3

No more updates on this book until production of book 2 wraps up. The script is finished and finalized. I did speak with the artist about the timetable for starting that book, he says page production may not begin until the beginning of next year, which could be problematic since the book is slated to be 50% longer. We'll have to see!

That is all I have for you this week. I hope everyone has a great week again. Thanks again for your support and patience! Take care, and have a great day!
