I'm happy to announce, after a rather lengthy back and forth with the printer (mostly due to my ADHD and my hyper finicky perfectionism) Shadowlore #1 is currently being printed and bound. All told between printing, binding and shipping, I should have the comics in my hot little hands by the end of September.
From there it's just a matter of fulfilling the final orders. I will be in touch with everyone who ordered custom art within the next week (if I haven't already) about what you are wanting for your custom commission. Everything will ship by the end of this year (sooner if you're jut getting the comic). I gotta thank everyone who contributed for their patience in my first publishing endeavor. Much of this process is really uncharted territory for me and there have been a lot of extra challenges and expenses we had to overcome. I say we because I cannot possibly make this post without personally thanking my wife-to-be Laura who has gotten me through so many of the parts of this process that would have been honestly impossible without her support. I have no problem saying that this comic would probably still just a never realized endless production project. Still just a chicken-scratched stack of legal pad paper with some doodles.
I'm getting quite emotional sending the project out to print and putting it totally out of my hands for so long. It will give me a chance to finally make some headway on issue #2 though.
Talk to you soon.
