And other print babble.

Along with a print edition to Chapter 1, I'll also be putting together an art book with character profiles, old/new concept arts, and then some. It will be nice.

Both will be available for preorder via Kickstarter when I boot the campaign in June/July-ish (print versions of both books) with a release date to be some time later (along with PDF versions).  I'll also have some bonuses such as acrylic charms, buttons, bookmarks, custom hand-drawn pictures, and a chance for one lucky person to have his/her side character or chapter idea appear in a later on in the comic.

July 1st will be the deadline for fanart submissions for the book, as I have to know how many pages of the artbook it will take up.


And if anybody is up for it, I want to have a HiEx fan wallpaper compilation available for free download at my website. It'll basically be a few gorgeous wallpapers drawn by different artists and it will be a good opportunity to network yourself as an artist.  If my funding campaign is more than successful, I can commission these things for $$$.  Right now, however, I'm not so financially fortunate to market my webcomic out of pocket.


Chapter 2 is almost done, but since it's only 24 pages (chapter 1 + prologue was 40), that one will have a print-exclusive bonus story I need to draw up before making print plans on that.
