Last Artist Slots On Ashes: Filled
No more TBCs. Dan McDaid will be doing the London chapter and Bill Sienkiewicz will be doing the painted section. Folks, this book is going to look fine.
All the artists are raring to go. We've spent the last few days working out who's doing model sheets for what characters, deadlines, etc. I'll be able to post some art soon.
If you did not participate in the Kickstarter and would like to order or reserve a copy of Ashes, please contact one of our retailers (see previous update for list) where you will be able to buy a bundled digital and hardback edition. The retailers all have some stock (though not huge amounts, so don't wait until the last minute).
We are still on track for a December release of the hardback edition, and I expect the digital version will begin to be serialised in June.
As always, I'm here to answer any questions or concerns you may have -- either via Kickstarter or via my email: alexdecampi@gmail.com . Use wisely, and only for good!

If I was ever on the fence about the change in artists, having Bill Sienkiewicz in the mix would have immediately pushed me back over to the right side. Kudos!
Creator Arnout on February 17, 2012
Tralalalala!
I think there are going to be some sad people come December!
Creator Adriano Antonini on February 16, 2012
"Fine", Alex, were you looking for the word "awesome", maybe? :-)
I'm still sorry it didn't work out with the original artist, but in the end... It is more his loss than else, really! Congratulations on landing such artists for Ashes: now I'm more excited than ever about it!
Creator Gary Gray on February 16, 2012
Congratulations on getting all the artists signed up. I hope there isn't any more problems with this book going ahead and that we can see the Kickstarter model actually work, and lots of lessons learned on how to make it work for others down the line.
Creator Shaun on February 16, 2012
Yay, Bill Sienkiewicz!!
Creator Alex de Campi on February 16, 2012
I'm speaking to two artists, but with at least one of them won't be able to confirm until he is finished his own book. If you like my taste in artists so far, you'll be pleased with who I'm speaking to. The Very Short Pieces are, in fact, very short (one is 3 pages, the other is 4 pages) and happen about 2/3 of the way through the book, so I'm not too stressed about not having those in my pocket for a bit.

Who's doing the "Very Short Pieces"?
