Project By
Connected as Renae De Liz (3846 friends)
I'm a professional comic book artist, recently for IDW's New York Times Bestseller "The Last Unicorn". I'm currently working on Anne Rice's "Servant of the Bones". I'm a mother of 2 boys. I enjoy Halloween costume making, co-op videogames, baking, and long walks on the beach holding hands [ er.. waitaminute, wrong site]. I am also a self proclaimed holiday nut!
Sad to say I've still not received my copy. Any word on whether Norwegian customs are being particularly difficult? Getting slightly worried that it might just have got lost in the mail, tbh.
Finally got my copy today. It was worth the wait. You and the ladies did a fantastic job.
My book arrived in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada early last week. It is awesome!
My book arrived 2 weeks ago to Madrid, Spain. It is awesome, but I'm worried about other friends book which hasn't yet arrived. Is it probably because of the costumes and so?
My book arrived in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada this week. Thanks, it looks awesome!!
Oops! To add on again, to those that just recently (in the last couple weeks) emailed us about their copy, or just gave their addresses, or had an error that needed fixing, then those are part of a batch of addresses just sent for shipping, so those are on their way too!
Also for International be aware that your countries customs may hold it up too, though happily most don't seem to have had any problem!
Gathering more info for a more in depth update, but ALL international and US copies have been shipped. We've news that Canada, Germany, Australia, Africa and Mexico have been getting their copies, with the UK for some reason taking longer. They were all sent at once, but seem to be "filtering in" all over the place delivery-wise, so some of you may still be waiting. But they have all been sent! So keep posting when they arrive so we know where they're being delivered so I can better update everyone else! :) Thanks for everyones thoughtful support and patience as we finalize all the deliveries! Soooo close now!
Hi all, My book came yesterday. I am in Calgary (Western Canada). Hope you all get your books soon! Great timing with the long weekend here (I have tomorrow off as well), I know what I will be reading!
Got my book yesterday (I'm in Quebec). A little banged up from the transit but I'm glad it's here. My kids immediately jumped into it before I even had a chance to take a look ;)
My copy arrived this morning! It looks gorgeous, i cannot wait to go through it :D
thank you for all the hard work you put in to this.
Hi,
Living in Florida and hope I get mine soon, I had my comic shop order it. So far, nothing.
This is Ray, Renae's husband posting a quick update to help out. There was a new wave of books sent from IDW's Shipping company for international backers and they should be getting to people soon! Sorry for the delay! Feel free to send a message if you have any other questions or email me at RayDillonGGS@gmail.com With over 2,000 backers there are a LOT of messages! Thank you!! ~Ray
Also in Eastern Canada without a book. They look really nice on the shelf at my LCS, though.
Hm, still not received the book in Norway. *continues waiting by the mailbox*
I have yet to receive my anthology here in Western Canada as well... it's been a long time now.
Still anxiously awaiting my book here in Eastern Canada... any news? Really looking forward to it!
Anyone in Western Canada that HAS rec'd their book yet? I know there was a delay with the International orders, but it kind of sucks not having the book yet... just wondering if anyone else has theres from part of the world... thanks :)
I can't find the FAQ section that is mentioned in the list of rewards. I backed the $300 "get killed by Steve Niles" and the info says check the FAQ.
"SPECIAL REWARD - Be written into a project by STEVE NILES! He will personally write you be KILLED in the story! Project to be announced! See additional info on this reward in the FAQS section! "
Hello Rebecca! So very sorry I didn't see your comment until now! Did you reply to that email yet about your address? If not, let me know! :)
I just got an email asking for a new address to ship to as my mail goes to a PO Box - where do I go on kickstarter to provide a different address? :S help!
I got my book yesterday - it's beautiful! Thank you to all the contributors for making a spectacular book!
Got my book in yesterday (along with 3 other projects i backed) and i will say I am SO happy that i backed this project. it is amazing, bigger than i though and the quality is superb. If i could do this again, i would ! .....SO LETS DO IT ^^ :P
I got my book yesterday - it is GORGEOUS!! I was not expecting it to be so big. And the quality of the colors, omg! Even my non-comic-reading husband was impressed. I can't wait to have some time to read it this weekend - just wanted to say how delighted I am just getting to hold it in my hands!
Posting update right now actually! :D Will be up in just a few minutes!
How's the shipments going?
I hope I get mine soon. It's march already and nothing do far.
Received my book today. You weren't kidding when you said "Massive Anthology" because this tome weight a ton. Really good paper quality. Have yet to actually read it, but the impression from just flipping through the pages was really really good!
thanx for answer!
Hello Avigayil! :) No change in dates so far from the Publisher. Last ones given to me were Late February for start of mailing to Kickstarter Backers, and early March for release in stores! As soon as I get any more info I'll update everyone :) Hope you're having a wonderful night!
Any update on timing for the actual book?
Got my sketchbook today. =) Didn't thought sketchbook will be shipped separately even to those, who pledged for the anthology too. Now I can't wait for the main book. Thank you and good luck with everything! =)
HELLO! I 'd like to have a gentle explanation about why the sketchbook is so cheap, ugly laser printed and excuse me so much really awful respect the great expectation....thanx so much!
Yay!! So happy to hear the sketchbooks are all making it to you safe and sound!! :) I really hope you enjoy them!!
Got my sketchbook on Friday - I can't wait to see the book!
I got the sketchbook at my office on Friday! I gave that along with a printed version of the PDF you sent and the certificate on Christmas morning. It was a hit! Thanks a million! You rock!
Got the groovy sketchbook a coupla weeks ago. Just now getting around to saying "Yay!" and "Thanks!"
Sounds great. The way my office works, I was just worried it vanished into the Byzantine mail system. :-)
Hello Frederick!! :D
We started shipping them late November, but there's still a small batch left to mail (some US, but mostly international). BIG apologies for the delay! We have just two ladies on project handling the shipping (Jessica Hickman & Darla Ecklund, big thanks to them!), however both have full time jobs and mailing 1200 packages is taking much longer than expected!
Please keep me updated if you continue to not receive your copy and we'll fix it STAT!
Also I'm just now posting the link to the PDF and certificate! :D So make sure to check back for the latest update!
Happy holidays to you as well and thank you so very much! :)
~Renae
Renae, just curious: did the sketchbooks ship yet? I'm wondering if I'll have it by Christmas. Thanks! Also, how do we get that printable "got you a gift" cards to give in place of the main books? Thanks! Hope you're having a nice holiday! -- FTH
Thanks, Renae! Appreciate it!
hi Renae,
can only imagine how hectic the last few months have been. Looking at the snapshot provided the body of work looks stunning & must be hugely exciting for all those involved. But I guess the most important part was the opportunity given to artists who may not otherwise have had the chance to show case their talents.
Good luck, Rick
Hi Frederick - don't worry, you haven't missed anything. The sketchbook will be shipping imminently and we'll confirm a ship date for the main book in the next day or so - keep watching this space!
Since I'm having stuff shipped to my work, I want to make sure nothing went missing: nothing has been shipped out yet, right? No worries and no pressure; just want to make sure! Thanks!
Awesome, thanks Renae!
Hello Raul, a big update is coming soon, we're waiting on a few details so I can give complete information! :) Thank you!! :)
Hey guys, an update would be appreciated. It would be great to know where you are with things.
Thanks!
I was wondering if the sketchbooks ended up going out yet. I know did my survey, so any updates?
Soooooooooooooo Hows it going out there? i am very exicted about the book !!!
We're just putting the very final touches to the book before it goes to IDW, and will be at New York Comic Con at the end of next week - we'll have a full update for you very soon! Thanks for checking in!
