New Preview PDF and Second February Update
about 1 year ago – Fri, Feb 14, 2025 at 02:37:11 AM

Hi All,

After a few requests I've decided to release a second preview pdf with art pieces that have been finalised and the typo/wording fixes that came after the initial preview. I'm hitting the distribution button after I send this, so you should get an email from backerkit with download instructions shortly. It sends them out in waves, so don't panic if you don't receive it immediately.

I'm still working with Alec to get the artwork over the finish line, and I'm hoping we can get there before the end of February. 

I'll check in again once I have more to update on.

Bye for now,
Chris

February Update
about 1 year ago – Fri, Jan 24, 2025 at 02:10:22 AM

Hi All,

Alec is still aiming to have all of the artwork completed by the end of January, and thinks it is still achievable, but has fallen behind schedule again due to health issues. I don't want to put a hard date in mind at this point but I'll send out another update once we tick over into February to give a more detailed picture of where we're at with the final PDF release.

Thanks again for your patience. 

Bye for now,
Chris

January Update
about 1 year ago – Tue, Jan 07, 2025 at 01:19:53 AM

Hi All,

I'm still aiming to have the final PDF with full art with you by the end of January, albeit later in the month than planned. In my most recent update from Alec he's aiming for all pieces to be with me by Monday 20th January, which would mean I can get the PDF sent out as early as possible that week. 

As soon as the PDF is sent out I'll update with details regarding ETA for print copies, dates for charging cards on Backerkit etc.

Again, I'm sorry for the ongoing delays with this project. 

I'll update again later this month.

Mid-December Update
over 1 year ago – Thu, Dec 12, 2024 at 02:21:28 AM

Hi All,

Unfortunately Alec is still working to catch up with the art. I'll be taking some time off over Christmas, and the print house will be closed, so with Alec's current estimate I'm now aiming to release the PDF around January 6th, which should coincide with sending the files to the printers. 

I'm waiting on a new delivery estimate from the printers, so I'll have more information by the time I do the January update after Christmas.

Again, I'm sorry for these ongoing delays, and I appreciate how frustrating it must be to hear each time. As I've said previously, I promise to take these lessons in mind with future projects. 

Bye for now,
Chris

December Update
over 1 year ago – Wed, Nov 27, 2024 at 03:15:58 AM

Hi All,

Alec's new estimate for the artwork is a week later than planned, so I'm hoping to be able to release the PDF around December 13th. This will coincide with the mid-December update here. 

I'll hold off on locking Backerkit orders and collecting for shipping until the final PDF is out. I'll post an update here a few days before I close them and collect. When I do this I'll be able to give a more accurate ETA for the print books. 

This weekend I'll be at Dragonmeet in London, so if you're attending want to say hi then look out for me. 

In the mean time, enjoy the final three Knight pieces in the book:

Bye for now,
Chris
