One Week In

Update #1 · Mar 29, 2012 · comment

Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone! We're one week in and already 85% towards our goal!

That's incredible, and more than I could have hoped for. 

Circus Saudade has been rolling around in my head, sketchbooks, and word documents for several months now. It existed as a teasing, wisp of a thing running around my imagination for longer than that. To get it out into the world, even in its early stages, and have folks and fellow creators find some value in it is incredibly meaningful. Thank you so much.

I'll probably do an update a week with any new information to keep folks up to date. For now, I mostly wanted to say thank you. You'll probably hear that a lot, though.

If you missed it, a new comic page went up on Tuesday you can find here.

Hope everyone is having a good week.

My very best,

Colin

    A one-of- a-kind, signed drawing of a Circus Saudade character. For this reward, I'll choose the character to draw. It may be one of the characters we haven't been introduced to in the comic yet.

    A one-of- a-kind, signed drawing of a Circus Saudade character of your choice. The drawing is in pencil on 8" x 11" artist's paper. Admittedly, at this time we've only met a small number of the characters. You can see a few more in the "Women of Circus Saudade" print, but you can wait and also cash in this reward when you discover a character you like most, if you'd like. This also comes with the PDF of the first chapter of Circus Saudade, delivered upon its completion in 2013.

    Your very own Circus Saudade "Origin Story" about you or a loved one. A recurring theme of Circus Saudade will be one-off comics that tell the story of how individuals came to exist within the circus and perform certain roles. An example is in the main info of the kickstarter to the left. I'll seek your input about what kind of circus role you or your loved one would enjoy, try to accommodate you as closely as a I can (some roles are already reserved for main characters) and then create your Origin story comic. Not only will it be published on the Circus Saudade website, I will also send you a signed print of your origin story. You or your loved one might even appear in other comics as a side character from time to time. This also comes with the PDF of the first chapter of Circus Saudade, delivered upon its completion in 2013.

    Estimated delivery: Dec 2012
