YAY!!!! I can’t wait for this! I was “in” on day 1 of the Kickstarter. My only struggle is going to be hiding this from my nerd offspring so I can read it first!

I put my order in. Costs a little more to ship than to buy. Story of my life!

When will the Kickstarter book be released compared to the release of the DM?

Sorry! Direct Market. Basically the book you are asking people to preorder. I’m a kickstarter backer.

Well, I know some bookstores ordered this from the Kickstarter, but as for general bookstore release, not a clue. I am not running the Kickstarter, so am not privy to the details of how things are being done.

I’m sorry to hear that. I would think they would keep the most important person in the loop. But thanks for getting back to me and have a great weekend.

Well, my job is to create the book, not handle the business, and the stress and labor load of the book has put me at my breaking point. I could not handle anything beyond this. And I do not have the qualifications to manage the enormous business end of this project.

Oh, I’m aware. I’ve been following you and your process for a while now. I’m glad you made it through. I just thought they would let you know when the book was releasing or gave you a window. Along with some comps. I do have another questions, I hope you don’t mind me asking?

1. How often do you do commission work?

2. How would I go about getting one?

3. How much would one cost? (Range wise, depending on pencil, ink, colors.)

I don’t know what DM means.
