Wow. It’s been a minute. Sorry for the radio silence. Not to worry, though. We’ve (Kevin and Mike) been hard at work (Kevin more than Mike) finalizing pages, sketching skulls, penning/illustrating “Your Pet in the Bestiary” journal entries, and writing additional bonus content for those lucky Kickstarter tier backers who decided to dig deep.
Here’s some examples of pages Kevin’s been working on:
That said, we’re down to the wire but appear to be on track. To that end, we’ve added some bench strength to our stalwart team to ensure there aren’t any hiccups or delays.
The Feral team consists of:
Mike Connell, co-creator, story
Kevin Manklow, co-creator, art
Clay Adams, letterer
Alfonso Espinos and Studiocomix Press, printing
John Edingfield II and Ryan Kroboth, US logistics
And we’re happy to welcome Steve Canon as our colourist (he probably spells it “colorist” in the US)
Here’s some examples of Steve’s work from insta…
In addition to our Kickstarter fulfilment commitment (early September 2022!), there’s another deadline keeping us accountable… Fan Expo in Toronto is the last weekend in August (August 25-28), and we’ve booked a Mad Quill table. That means we need books to bring to the event and we will be shipping out The Bestiary - Feral: A field guide to the new world as soon as we’re done there.
Pretty exciting!
Thanks, again, for joining us on this ride. If you didn’t back the Kickstarter campaign and are wondering what we’re talking about, we’ll have copies for sale after we fulfill the original backer orders and sell the ones set aside for Fan Expo. You can find out more here.
OK. That’s it for now. Sorry for the long period between newsletters, but thanks for your patience and support.
Mike
