Tamberlane: Chapter 2 - Deluxe Edition

Created by Caytlin Vilbrandt

Belfry is forgetful, accident-prone, and not really ready for responsibility, but a snap decision to take in a young, abandoned creature will change her life forever. In Treehollow, Belfry is well known as the bat with a heart of gold and penchant for accidents. All the residents love her and fear her in equal measures. So of course when she literally stumbles across a strange creature who seems to be some kind of abandoned kit, she wants to care for it… but is she truly up to the task? Or will it die a horrifying, accident-related death? This Kickstarter is to fund the printing and distribution of a gorgeous, perfect-bound full-color book with 55 pages of comic and 25 pages of fan comics and behind-the-scenes concept art! The cover will have gold foil for "Deluxe Edition" and blue foil for the title of the book, as well as UV Spot Gloss.

Omnibus Explanation
about 6 years ago – Mon, Apr 02, 2018 at 10:45:19 PM

There have been a few inquiries about the Omnibus!

  • The omnibus will have some extra content, a special cover, and is Kickstarter-exclusive. These will never be printed again. That (plus the fact that it's hardcover!) is what makes it worth it an upgrade fee, and why it is considered a worthy upgrade from a 2-book tier. If you disagree, that's fine! Feel free not to upgrade. :) 
  • If you want to get two books AND the hardcover: if you're getting them signed/sketched, the most cost-effective way is to add on the hardcover in the add-on store after you've finished your survey. If you're NOT getting them signed/sketched, then adding on Chapters 1 and 2 is most cost effective.
  • If you are in a signed/sketched tier and you upgrade to an omnibus, your omnibus WILL be signed/sketched, no worries. If you add-on an omnibus to your order, however, it depends on which you order.

I apologize for the confusion! I arranged it the best I could :) Hope this answers your questions.

Some News! Some SURVEYS!!!

So first of all, I'd like to show you guys the bookplate design, where I'll sign and sketch in your books if you pledged for it!

 The little space up above is where I'll sign and number the bookplate. I'm pretty happy with it!

Next, I've gotten word from the printer finally! It'll be $30 to upgrade to a hardcover omnibus. The generous gentleman who bumped us over the $20k goal will get at least 1 free hardcover!

Next again, the sample for the blanket came in, but unfortunately it's not in my hands yet! My supplier still has it. But here's a peek!

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE BACKERKIT SURVEYS HAVE GONE TO YOUR EMAIL! If you don't see a survey in your email, be sure to search your spam folder or non-inbox folders! 

WE DID IT!!!!!!!

Skidding into the finish line and HITTIN' THAT LAST STRETCH GOAL!!!

Thank you all so so much for your generosity, kindness, enthusiasm, and excitement!! I'm so thrilled this campaign was so successful and that these beautiful beautiful items will be finding their way to you!

Here's what's next:

  • I'm still getting final numbers from the printer on how much it's going to be to get those hardcovers printed. The total will determine how much it will cost for any tier with Chapters 1 AND 2 to upgrade to the omnibus edition!
  • The hardcover will also be available to purchase separately through the BackerKit survey! The survey will allow you to change tiers, buy extra items (including the stretch goals like TSSSF card and pin!), and exclude some items (like, for example, if you don't want the TSSSF card).
  • The specs of the hardcover are still TBD until I get numbers back. It will have a new cover, for sure. There might be extra appendices, but we'll see!
  • The hardcover is meant to be an exclusive to this Kickstarter. However, if there are extras (shouldn't be too many), they will be sold online. Once they're out of stock, they're gone.
  • In a few weeks, the BackerKit Preorder store will go live and those who missed the Kickstarter will be able to get in on those sweet sweet goodies. 

I think that's it? I think that's it!

With that, I'm going to go collapse. I am thrilled and exhausted! Thanks for being on this ride with me, folks!!!

 

We did it, lads!!

We've reached the $16k stretch goal!!! :D Those of you interested in the TSSSF card now can get this adorable card for your collection! If you have a tier with a card and you're not interested in it, have no fear: you can opt to not receive it in your survey!

The next and final stretch goal is the hardcover omnibus!! CAN WE DO IT? YES WE CAN!!!!

I will also be streaming today while I work on Tamberlane pages! Come watch the Kickstarter total and comic making at my Picarto stream! I won't be on mic (I'm gonna be blasting music, so it'd just feedback!) but I will be around to chat and answer questions!  

Plan on it starting at around 11am PST! I'll see you there!

Blanket Dimensions

I've gotten some info back on the blankets! They should be 5' by 6.5' (or, more specifically, 150cm x 120cm). Nice big throws!!
