Campaign Update & some BTS!

Hey everybody!

Cory here from Gridlock Studios, doing a little update on the Backerkit campaign! We are almost 50% funded, which is a win in my opinion since most of the audience I’ve accrued are tabletop gamers. There’s still plenty of time to back the project & reserve your copy!

Here’s a little more background on the project, a little “behind the scenes” for you!

I actually wrote the first two chapters several years ago. And as many of you know that are creators, often times you’ll go back and look at the things you made & slightly (or greatly) cringe at how bad it was.

Well I came across it a few months back, read through it and thought “ya know…this is still pretty good!”. I’ve always wanted to be a cartoonist in some form, whether it be animation or comics. Cartoons are my favorite thing to draw! 

So I toyed with making this into either an animated series or a comics, and since my background is already in publishing I settled on making a graphic novel.

Making this has been a challenge & a blast, and I’m sure that you all will love it! Telling stories has always been near to my heart, and doing it in this way has been a great outlet for me. 

So let me know, would yall like to know more about the story? Or would yall like to see some of the early concept art for this project? I’ll probably scan it and add it in the book.

Until next time!

This project is now live, everyone go reserve your copy today!!

Also, I realized all the physical tiers didn’t have the “PDF” included in the short description. Dummy me. I got it added in there, if you back at the physical tiers you will get the PDF version as well!!

Thank you all!!

Hello all, it's great to have you here!

Everything is moving right along with the making of the graphic novel & the campaign. I'll drop some of the pages below so you all can get a feel for how it's going to be!

I'm still working on assembling the campaign page but I am mostly done with that, once that's done it should be smooth sailing from here!

Fair winds!
