Update #7: Winding Down: A Thank You, And A Contest!
Posted on December 12, 2009
Hi everybody!
Well, we did it. Poorcraft is funded, WAY funded! And the book is in production; Scripts are written or being written, and pages are being penciled, on their way to ink. We've got several months ahead of us of production, but Diana and I had a talk last night, and we wanted to show our appreciation for the amazing support this project's received.
So, Diana's agreed to give away a deluxe, full-color art commission!
If you've already pledged to Poorcraft, your name's already in the hat. If not, well- why not pledge? You'll get a great book, behind-the-scenes updates, AND a chance to win some beautiful art!
I've attached some examples of Diana's art when she's not drawing in the stripped-down, Poorcraft style. She's an incredible skilled and very versatile artist.
Need a drawing of your RPG character? A portrait of your spouse? A tattoo design? Some concept art? Diana's got you covered. And she wants to draw for you.
We'll pick a winner after the Poorcraft project concludes, on December 20th. Pledge now to be included!
Can Poorcraft get to 200% funded? Probably not! But if it does, I'll throw in a commission, too.

Connected as C. Spike Trotman (755 friends)
I'm Spike. I was born in DC, grew up in MD, and live in IL. I draw all day.
Likes: Squid-based snacks, video games, buskers, jump blues, hairless dogs, balls-to-the-wall indie anything, and NPR.
Dislikes: Marzipan, particle board, and licensed property LEGO sets.
My primary project is a comic called "Templar, Arizona." It's an alternate history slice-of-life story. I bet you'd like it.
so, who won?
