Long-overdo Update :D

Update #13 · Jan 28, 2013 · 2 comments

I've been meaning to post another update, but I'm a busy boy and it just keeps slipping my mind. Sorry about that! So here's what's up with KSW

In a nutshell, the graphic novel is going to be a lot more work than I'd originally planned. I hate to make excuses, but it's pretty hard to draw a graphic novel with art school always throwing assignments in my face. But while school might suck up my time, it won't even come close to crushing my enthusiasm for THIS project. KSW is going to happen. I know because it IS happening. I felt bad about how long this book was going to take, so I put up a webcomic version of KSW that you can follow while I work on the book as a whole. Right now there's about forty pages on there that retell the majority of the first chapter of KSW (as well as a short, 6 page, bonus story set in the world of Neo-Jersey).

You can check it out at killsarahwarren.com


As for the finished graphic novel... it's a good ways away. I've got most of the first and second chapters finished along with a good portion of the fourth and fifth chapter, but that leaves a bunch of chapters to finish along with the entirety of the third, sixth, and seventh. Because of the sheer amount of work (and my constantly shifting school schedule) I'm having trouble coming up with a approximate date of when the book will be finished, but I can assure you that the webcomic will keep on posting, the pages are constantly being drawn, and the kickstarter funds are sitting there, just waiting for when this danged thing is ready to go.

I hope you all are doing well.

Killsarahwarren.com - the KSW Webcomic!!

Update #12 · Nov 6, 2012 · 5 comments

Hey guys,
It's been a while!

It's gotten a bit chilly since this summer when all a y'all helped me take on this kickstarter, and I think you're all overdo for an update. The comic is coming along nicely.. I'm sitting on a stack of about 90 pages - which puts me around half way through the first book. This is a good and bad thing. It's good because I've got 80 pages, it's bad because there's no way I'm going to make the deadline without dropping the quality significantly. I feel bad about this, and I want to make it up to all of you by sharing the comics progress with my kickstarter bros and anyone else who might be interested. 

That's why I've made a KSW WEBCOMIC!!

Right now the webcomic consists of fifteen pages that retell parts of the original minicomic - but don't worry, one look and you'll know that this isn't just rehashing. For now, I'm posting a new comic page every Monday and Friday.

I also want you all to know that all of your names have been posted in the first blog post at www.killsarahwarren.com in a thank you post. If you want your name changed, removed, or replaced just send me a message but more importantly if you want me to place a link to your website, twitter or whatever next to your name just let me know and I'll be happy to oblige. It's the least I can do for all you beautiful, awesome people.

Let me know if you've got any comments about the site and make sure to share it if you like it!

First Wave o' Rewards!

Update #10 · Aug 26, 2012 · 2 comments

I'm hoping that by now most of you $25+ backers have received your swag bags. I'm also hoping that you're so danged pumped that you can't stand it! For those of you who didn't get your care package, it's either on the way or I'm still waiting to hear back from you about some crucial little bit of information (like your mailing address or shirt size).

Now that the first wave of rewards are out the door, I'm gonna be focusing all I've got on this graphic novel with the notable exceptions of the art commissions, which I'll be working on and mailing out over the next month or so.

I hope you've all had the sweetest, chillest, hottest summer.
You've made mine f*ing awesome!

Keep in touch,
P

T-shirts and Prints and Minis, oh my!

Update #9 · Aug 7, 2012 · comment

Hey all you beautiful, beautiful people!

It's been a while since we've pow-wowed. Sorry. I've just been so crazy busy working on KSW! The graphic novel is still a while away from completion, but it's coming along. Every day it gets a little closer and a lot better. I'm really excited about it and can't wait to get it into your hands and brains. In the meantime, I've got a whole mess of junk to give you a taste of KSW before the big graphic novel is ready to go.

Remember those t-shirts and prints I was harping on about (not to mention the minicomic pilot that I wasn't harping on about so much)? Well they're here! And pretty soon they'll be there, on you and your wall and in your hands depending on whether or not you pledged $25 or more! I'm just waiting to tie a few things together before I throw them in an envelop and ship 'em off to you.

Expect some more updates in the next couple of weeks as I pack up and mail off all this glorious swag.

Meanwhile, if you're one of my backers who selected a commissioned piece of art work or a personal role in KSW then expect an email very soon. I'm wrapping up the current chapter of KSW and plan on taking care of all of you once these rewards and that chapter are both taken care of.

Peace and love all around! Thanks again for all your support. The past few weeks have been the best.

Message me if you've got any questions, comments, or just want to chat,
Peter

    As well as all the fun stuff listed in the above reward, you'll receive a minor role in the comic. Now, when I say 'minor role' I don't mean a walk in role. That's what reward 11 is all about. Reward 12 is all about jokes and presence. You'll be in there, maybe you'll be a hilarious cab driver or an incompetent guard. But either way you'll have lines, you'll make an impression, and in today's world an impression goes a LONG way. Obviously we'll have to have ourselves a little chat to figure out how to fit you in - but that's why it'll be fun. I promise I won't send you inappropriate text message (often).

    You'll get my thanks, a digital and TWO signed, physical copies of the book, AND you or your friend or character will get a SIZABLE role in KSW. I like to keep the scripting process organic, which means that I keep my outlines sparse and full of opportunities for YOU to show up and shine. I'll write you into the story as more than just a wee-walk in - but rather as a character that actually makes a difference. Think of it like this, with this reward you're not some schmuck working checkout at Bloomingdales. You're not even the floor manager. No, you're the effing REGIONAL MANAGER. You follow me? You will have a major impact on the events of at least one chapter, maybe more. We'll have to have a chat, maybe even a Skype date to iron out the details AND, unlike the $500 reward, I promise to send you as many inappropriate texts as you want.

    If you're mister (or misses) moneybags over there and you believe in me enough to fund my whole Kickstarter on your own then I love you and I'm forever in your debt. In addition to every reward listed above, you will get my undying gratitude in the form of me flying to your house and babysitting your kids and/or hanging out with you. If you've got pets I'll walk and/or clean up after them AND I will bring you McDonalds (or whatever other fast food you want). You rule. And I am going to dedicate the book to you.
