Guest Artist Spotlight: Redrawn "Incense" cover by Higgs!

Hey folks! I just wanted to offer a quick update while the enamel pins, sticker sheets, and poster prints move along through production! Back in 2018 when the first chapter of Veitstanz's "Incense" comic was first published, the initial cover for the story was drawn by Higgs. As part of stretch goals reached for the 1st Edition Kickstarter, the new Djura variant cover that recently painted by Veit also serves as a fitting cover for Incense as a whole since the story was thoroughly wrapped up last year. Still, rather than wholesale replacing the prior cover by Higgs, I've commissioned them to redraw the cover with heavier linework, more details, and more dramatic lighting. This redone version of the original Incense cover will be featured as a piece of guest artwork in the art gallery chapter (which is now 13 pages rather than just 10!) of all copies of 1st Edition.
Final page count for 1st Edition, updated roadmap, timeline for custom art portraits, and REMINDER to finish your surveys!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! There's a pretty beefy I've got for you all today, starting with an updated roadmap as we close in on fulfillment completion!
Except for the book itself, ALL material pledge rewards and material stretch goals are ordered and being produced! It's currently just a matter of time until the pins, prints, and sticker sheets arrive. The book itself is also in the final stages of compiling and fine-tuning, and is now tentatively coming in at 90 pages total! This could change once I've seen results of the proof, just in case certain things need to be edited or changed, but the page count will certainly not be lowering!
Backer surveys were sent to all backers last week, and over 80% are finished and submitted at the time of this post! There's still a couple weeks left since the cut off date is Saturday, May 15th, but please prioritize completing your backer survey if you haven't yet! If you've lost your backer survey email or did not receive it, you can follow this link to retrieve it. If that doesn't solve the issue then please message me directly on Kickstarter, or email me at [email protected].
And lastly, this section is for folks who pledged for Signature Dedications or the Custom Artwork. Some of the backers who have already finished and submitted their surveys for the custom portraits should expect to see their artwork begin to roll in within the next one-to-two weeks! Not every submitted backer will see their artwork finished that quickly, but we're going to deliver the portraits as quickly as we can! If you've got a Signature Dedication pledge, and you've also finished your backer survey, please follow this link to verify your name and summon sign style! At the time of this post, this list should be completely up to date. If you've pledged for the dedication and have finished your survey but do NOT see your submitted name in the document linked above, or if there's an error/typo, message me about it ASAP for correction!

Just a quick update to give folks some highlights on changes since last week: color tuning is finished, surveys are sent with results actively being catalogued, all shipping supplies have safely arrived, and a handful of other rewards are on the way!

Since the surveys were sent out on Monday, I've sent up a publicly viewable Google Doc of a constantly-updating list of names as they've been submitted to appear as Signature Dedications. The actual signatures will come along soon, but for now, please double check this document to ensure the name and stylization you submitted in your backer survey are correctly displayed. If there's any errors, misspellings, missing names, wrong summon sign style, etc, be sure to send me a message and let me know!
If your name is missing because your backer survey still needs to be completed, please complete your backer survey first, and then check the document later once I've updated it. If you still haven't received your survey yet, follow this link to get a recovery email.

Once more, I'm so sorry for the delay everyone; I really appreciate your patience and understanding! As of now, backer surveys are being sent out! The surveys will be sent in two waves, so if yours' hasn't shown up in your email inbox just yet, no need to panic! ALL backers should have access to their surveys within 24 hours of this post.
If there's any confusion you might have, or questions I can clear up, don't hesitate to send me a message! Thank you again!
