Text of the page (random words):
atomic tiki studio march 2010 skip to main skip to sidebar wednesday march 31 2010 but what about print copies on a comic message board i was recently asked why i m not providing print copies of athena voltaire and the volcano goddess as a part of the incentives for this campaign after all this is a campaign to generate funding for that comic so why aren t print copies of the comic being funded a part of the rewards for the awesome folks who are helping make this possible it s an excellent question by the way and it s a question i wrestled with a lot while determining the incentives for the campaign for all of the levels of support you ll receive a digital copy pdf format of the book while looking at the possible rewards i realized that fulfillment would be a potentially big expense here s a quick breakdown of some fulfillment costs 1 shipping the trade paperbacks to the bindery to have the custom hardcovers made 2 printing of custom hardcover wrap binding hardcovers 3 shipping of hardcovers back to me 4 production of sketchbooks 5 shipping everything to backers in this instance all fulfillment could be handled with 30 days of the campaign ending hopefully depending on my hardcover provider s queue however if we add in copies of the mini series 2 issues we re looking at adding a lot more shipping expenses and or much more time the kickstarter campaign is 2 months long once the kickstarter campaign ends we re looking at 2 3 months until work is done on the book it could be 1 3 months to get the volcano goddess on the publisher s schedule and then issue 1 would have to be solicited releasing 2 months later a month later issue 2 would release let s look at the 3 potential timelines and check out the logistics of our shipping options 1 ship everything after issue 2 of the volcano goddess is printed and released this would allow me to use the greatest portion of the funding to actually fund the comic rather than spending the majority of the money on shipping expenses the downfall to it is that you would be receiving the physical rewards for your pledge 8 12 months after pledging and in order to accommodate having issue 2 of the series in the shipment issue 1 would have been released and would have been on the shelves of your local comic shop for a full month before you get your copy if you think that s bad how bad would this scenario be for the folks whose rewards were a piece of art these are backers who pledged large sums of money and they would be be rewarded by waiting a year to get that art 2 ship everything as it s competed this would satisfy everyone receiving their rewards as soon as possible for each phase unfortunately it would also mean that i would be spending 3 times as much time on shipping buying 3 times as much packing material driving to the post office 3 times as much and would be spending considerably more on shipping when i was setting up the reward levels i tried to not set the bar too high and wanted to keep the expenses low so that a greater portion of the money went to financing the book the way i see it you folks are backing me to make a comic you re not backing me to keep the post office in business 3 do what i m doing now provide pdf copies of the book and send them out via email which is no cost and provide rewards as quickly as possible after the campaign ends while not a perfect solution i felt that option 3 found the best balance of fast receipt of rewards and lower expenses sorry to ramble so much i hope it s clear thanks a bunch for your support everyone steve posted by steve bryant at 6 19 am no comments labels athena voltaire kickstarter tuesday march 30 2010 a third of the way there we re less than a week in on the athena voltaire kickstarter campaign and we re 35 of the way there thanks very much you to those of you who have contributed i m humbled and touched by your generosity to those of you on the fence thank you for the consideration in all honesty i sometimes daydream about what would happen if we exceed the kickstarter goal nope i have to plans to jet off to exotic locales on your dime i keep thinking how great it would be to be able to work on athena voltaire full time for 4 months or 6 months or even a year seriously those really are my daydreams so thanks for contributing to my book i appreciate it more than you ll ever know posted by steve bryant at 8 57 am no comments labels athena voltaire kickstarter monday march 29 2010 athena voltaire the kickstarter campaign for the past few years i ve been working on athena voltaire in my downtime along the way the comic earned an eisner award nomination 2005 best digital comic released two trade paperbacks and earned me a nomination for the russ manning most promising newcomer award i m grateful for the reception of the book and the supporters we ve had along the way i m appreciative of every fan i meet at a convention or every email i receive from a reader who wonders when the next mini series is going to be released and i hate to tell them lamely that i m working on it and i hope to release it soon that s the downside to producing something that s a labor of love it always takes a back seat to paying work don t get me wrong i m not complaining or asking for sympathy it s just frustrating to not be able to give someone a definitive timetable for the next mini series release instead of doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results i m trying something different i ve started a kickstarter campaign for our favorite globetrotting aviatrix kickstarter is a terrific site where creative folks can get funding for their projects by offering special incentives like original art deluxe editions of books etc to folks who pledge their support think of it like pbs but instead of tote bags you can get an av cover interior page a sketch from me and more please visit the athena voltaire kickstarter campaign site and see if there s a level of
