Lavender Legend

The Kickstarter has already blown through several goals I had set up to complete various stages of the print edition project.

The initial $300 was to get Ch. 3 printed. At $600, there was enough to have the book printed with color extras. At $1200; I have enough to print all three books at the new printers, with heavier paper and so on.

The next and last goal now is to reach $1500, when I’ll be able to produce the Lavender Legend art and materials book as well. And everyone who contributes, regardless of their pledge amount, will receive a digital pdf version of the book for free when it comes out, roughly around October.

Here’s what contributors have earned so far, in addition to their individual rewards:

• A new digital wallpaper
• A double-sided gloss bookmark
• An exclusive art print

So at this point, everyone who contributes will receive those things in addition to their rewards.

There are still no takers on the “name this character” reward for $100, which includes the three books.

x3 updates per week for 3 months.
At the 1k goal, I promised to update the comic three times a week for three months. How is that going to work, you wonder?

It will go into effect April 1st. That will give me a modest amount of time to finish my current projects and prepare some buffer pages. If I do end up missing a page due to illness, becoming overburdened at a convention, or any of these things that tend to happen to me pretty often; then the 3x a week schedule will be extended an extra week to make up for it.

Thanks everyone! It’s been a wonderful surprise to see so much support.

This is a shameless promotional post, but the cause is for Lavender Legend!  I am raising money to go to conventions in 2013.

Deedlit – Record of Lodoss War
On sale for $80
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170975162768

Record of Lodoss War is a classic fantasy anime OAV from the early 90′s.  This particular merchandise is from the TV show from the later 90′s which featured the same characters.  It is one of the only existing official merchandise items of Record of Lodoss War, and this particular one of Deedlit the High Elf is near impossible to find.  I searched for her for years before lucking into a dealer with a case of the figures at an anime convention.  The dealer had no idea who the figure was of, or the rarity.  I got one right away.  The remaining handful of Deedlits were all bought up by other dealers within an hour of display.  I should have bought more than one looking back on it, but I am glad to have gotten this one.
This series was a special inspiration to me, and I have really enjoyed this figure.  But, I am making attempts to let go of physical possessions in the interest of my business.  It is fitting that I sell my Deedlit to fund my own fantasy project, which Lodoss War was a big inspiration to.

I also have the accompanying figures of Parn and Neice in my possession if you would like to make an offer to the entire set, or any particular piece:

I would sell Parn for $60 (also rare), and you can make any offer on Niece (not so rare, but nice to have with the set).

The site is back! Thanks to my dear friends who are always there to help, and my very dedicated readers who pitched in to help me renew my hosting service. The automatic renewal charge bounced back while I was in a pinch. Whoops… But it’s all squared away now.

I may not have internet for a while, so I’ve just been plugging away, trying to get Ch.3′s print edition done before my next convention (in February). Here’s the cover for it. I hope you like it!
