Ginpu

I estimate in the next 2 weeks I’ll be posting to begin pre-orders of Taka’s book. It’s going to be a trade paperback, manga sized. There will be a color cover and all the inside pages will be full color. The book will be at least 78 pages. The cost will be $9.99.

I will likely be adding an artist’s version as I did for Issue #2 & #3 of Kit’s Story. It will have a sketch of a Ginpu character on inside front cover (your choice) and front cover signed & dated. I may include a little something extra, as soon as I can figure out what that might be. The cost for this will be between $17 & $20. (+shipping & handling)

I should also be offering up digital versions of the book, which will be handled by IndyPlanet, cost will likely be around $3.99.

I’m still looking to see if anyone has some fan art they’d like to submit to be printed in the books. Also I am looking to see if anyone has any reader’s comments they’d like added. I have a few pieces of both, but am always looking for more to add. :3

The pages and cover are nearly finished. I apologize for the delay in everything but life happens sometimes. LOL I do hope we will have some of the new story scripted & drawn in time for the new year. Once the comic begins again, updates will resume to once a week.

One last thing to note, all of Kit’s books should be available digitally soon. I also may be combining the 3 into one magazine sized trade paperback. The cost is probably going to be around $10. There will be no special editions for this one though. This is something I’ve been wanting to offer for some time now. I know how confusing it Kit’s story can be, but I feel putting it all together in one place like this really helps for it to make a lot more sense.

Back to working on comics and art!

The bonus pages for Taka’s book are coming along well. Shading and some additional details is all that is left on the artwork side of things. Then the dialong needs to be added.

Oh and the cover needs to be finished. We are probably adding another 4, yes 4 pages of extra content to the book. So it will have 12 bonus pages and 64 story pages. That’s… 78 pages! Wow!!!

The 12 bonus pages would consist of the 8 bonus pages, an explanation of them so y’all aren’t lost with it. Leaving 3 pages for fan, comments and w/e else we can think of. Plus there is still the inside back and outside back cover open for stuff… not sure what. XD

Also looking for ideas regarding items to give should I offer up pre-orders of the book.

Don’t worry this isn’t a bad news thing. XD

Let’s try and get this in chronological order. First we have the bonus pages. I finally have them sketched and have begun inking them. I expect Taka’s book to be available before the year is over.

Next up is the new story. Troy and I have been going over and over what’s going to happen. We are building the entire universe. From the beginning of time to the end. Get a solid structure down on this whole thing. We’ve run into a few snags with continuing forward while keeping in mind the stuff that has already happened in the 2 other stories. While looking back at Kit’s Story I almost want to trash the whole thing. There are so many things that don’t make sense now… but I’ll save you the rant-n-ramble on that one. Needless to say expect changes, but we are still pushing forward. I still hope to have this started before the year is over. Just know we are working hard on this (and we both have 40+ hour a week jobs T^T)

T-shirt… yeah um… NEXT!

Speaking of Webcomics, or more correctly TGT, the schedule is opened for 2012. Are you a webcomic artist and want to be on the podcast? Get with Kurt! http://tgtmedia.com/scheduleinterview/

Another thing about podcasts… is there an anthro webcomic artist you’d like to hear on a podcast? Let me know! We should be having a special month in 2012 where I’ll be the co-host for a month long of anthro webcomics. I’ll pass along the info to Kurt so he can chase… er I mean contact those artists to see if they’d be interested in being in a podcast. Or maybe I’ll hunt them down. hehe.

On that note… I’m hungry and haven’t eaten since lunch and it’s almost bedtime. XD (I think that was everything…)

There will be an official press release on this matter soon, but I wanted to give y’all a head’s up about this special promotion offer.

They are reducing the cost of every item in the store and letting me pass on the savings to you, the readers through a code. The code IS CASE SENSITIVE.

If you haven’t already purchased a Webcomics: What’s Cooking? cookbook, you are truly missing out. I should know, I have one. Not only is it a collection of recipes, but they were contributed by your favorite Webcomic artists and each artist contributed artwork to the book. (I contributed, that should be reason enough )
