I’ve been doing concept art for the Isis: Night of the
Vampires cover. The first concept using my Isis and John Haynes custom action
figures is close to the concept I want the artist to use. In the concept I want
the artist to draw Isis and John would be posed together in the center dressed
in formal wear and the Vampires would be surrounding them to attack. The
concept would feature about five to six figures and feature lots of action!
I still have a lot of art to do. Like this model sheet of
Isis in a little black dress. I still have model sheets of formal John Haynes
and the vampires Lilith, Carlotta and Vance to do along with D’lilah’s model
sheet.
I also have to do a draft of the E’steem: Undercover cover. That’ll
be up on the next update.
Both the Isis: Night of the Vampires and E’steem: Undercover
manuscripts have been finished since January 2015. The pages have been laid out
and the PDFs have been uploaded to Amazon’s CreateSpace and Amazon’s KDP. The
only thing I need to do is get a quality cover from a professional artist for
both books. The response to Bill Walko’s Isis: Wrath of the Cybergoddes cover
was extremely positive last year. And I’d like to take that momentum into this
year’s Isis/E’steem crossover event.
If the Kickstarter gets funded, and I can hire an artist to
design both the covers, both Isis: Night of the Vampires and E’steem:
Undercover should get scheduled be released around June in paperback. Both
books will be part of KindleUnlimited by then and available for anyone to
borrow with Prime. When the 90-day term ends Isis: Night of the Vampires and
E’steem: Undercover will head to a broader release on Smashwords and Nook.
I’ll try to get
all the paperback books for the rewards shipped to everyone by the July 4
weekend at the earliest and August at the latest. That’s a lot earlier than the
September 2015 deadline.
I’ve heard a lot about how people use Kickstarter as a hustle
and ripped off donors, but I’m not one of those guys. When the Isis: Wrath of the Cybergoddess Kickstarter failed last year, I sold parts of my toy
collection to pay for the cover and I delivered the paperback and featured it
on several YouTube Videos. The same way I built up a positive reputation on
eBay with I want to build up one on Kickstarter. I will do everything in my
power to make sure that everyone gets their books if this project gets
funded.
