Can I post this in Organix TOO?

Even if you just click the link, that might help my project get to the first page.

Muchas gracias :)

I'm in.

it's $40. that's not even bad.

and i love each perk is a name of a song popular in that era. You really did your research.

I will def donate. If not this weekend, by next weekend. gotta support sistas doing their thing

You need a older cynical on the outside but soft n emo on the inside ridiculously good looking chubby guy, who makes people laugh...and think...and make love.

I like where this is going


does it really matter?

for all my fans who keep my name in their mouth: http://i.imgur.com/v2xNOpS.jpg

but hey, if you want to pay me for a role, that works :)

i need a deejay partner for Sean and also the HNIC of the promotion group he works for.

He's that and also went to Alabama A&M so he knows that girl from "back home" and be tryna smash

how much i need for my cameo again?

but if you want it printed and signed, that's $50

so i only put up $39

when i get my check next week i will deposit the other dollar
my Rush card was a lil short

.

good question.

a lot depends on how the campaign goes.

I like the idea.

are you giong to print a book?

and other tech costs and paying the models and other contributors

i will definitely do an ebook but i dont think i'll do a print book unless it goes really really well.

Visual storytelling, ya know?

i can show off a panel or two but I'm reluctant to put out 5 panels in sequence because it might give the story away.

.

it's not a typical graphic novel that has a page with a few panels. it's one panel per page so the story moves forward a lot between panels.

if you feel it will increase the donations.

here's your beginning, middle and end.

check your inbox

got a new video up.

got a donation too :)

tweaked a few things also.

and it's trending, but i'm still trying to move up in the world.

in exchange for backing your project?

that's usually how it goes...

the closest i could get to that would be giving a pdf of each chapter as it's released. is there any value in that?

I don't know. Let me see if I can find a successful campaign to show you how they did it.

I was going to get this book and the other one he did but forgot about it.

"Risks and challenges

I learned a lot of hard lessons from my previous Kickstarter, when I attempted to launch the first campaign without building a solid fan base one year ago. In that time I have become an artist capable of illustrating my own work and I've built a loyal following through publishing regularly at Reality Sandwich and Disinfo.com.

I've already completed about 12 of the 24 projected pages, so the March 2015 release is a conservative estimate considering I am doing the equivalent of a 5 person job, and I intend to finish before then.

*All backers who have not already read KALI-YUGA will receive a digital .pdf of the first issue the moment they pledge.*"


But check out the reward levels on the sidebar. I've found that to be the trick to a successful kickstarter. You're basically letting them preorder your first run of whatever project it is you're working on. I've ordered art (posters), toys (custom pieces so you can use legos, k'nex, and hot wheels tracks together), board games and other shit like this. Its how i support independent creators first.

Here're examples of some of the more successful ones I've backed that weren't comic related. Look at his goal and look at what he actually got.

this was the second one i backed/bought.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/actionphasegames/heroes-wanted-a-tactical-board-game-for-1-5-heroes

I've done a lot of research too and i've noticed that a lot of people with multiple crowdfund projects dont meet their goals the first time...so i didnt exactly go into this with high hopes but i know i can only do my best.

as far as building a solid fan base, i think the campaign is helping me do that. it's not just about raising the money. with my project, i know i needed some sort of hype before i publish my first chapter on jan 1.

i did tweak some of the perks based on your feedback. (at the $5 level, i added a pdf of each chapter and for the $10 level, i added a poster.) i think things will pick up the closer i get to the initial launch date and when i start publishing more sequential work. and i'm going to extend the campaign another 30 days so i will have 2 chapters published during the campaign. lol this is for real starting from the bottom.

thank you so much for your feedback. it's invaluable :)

i was getting likes and followers from day 1 based on that. i've been doing it a few weeks and should hit 300 followers soon... it's much easier to get attention from that if the thing your'e doing is visually based vs text based like twitter.

to contribute. skype me or something.

Question for you, what software do you use to make your comic?

I'm trying to get something started, but Manga Studio isn't the most intuitive program

i know exactly what scene i want you in too! you make it too easy :) i hope you like it!

i use illustrator and photoshop. illustrator just to draw the lines, then i go over the lines and do everything else in photoshop.

ive been eyeing manga studio...i thought it would be better than photoshop.

Yeah, I use GIMP for editing my photos into comic images, I mainly bought Manga Studio just to put things into comic panels/rows and add Text. However trying to size my imported images into the panels is working the way I need it to.

i need access to your pics. (gov't-Susan Caldwell)

or if you have suggestions (since you yourself are a photographer), I'm all ears.

This looks great, by the way.

and thank you!

My weekends from the ages of 9-13 or 14 were spent at 186 Wilson Avenue between DeKalb Avenue and Stockholm Street.
Nika, can that be my address in the book???

feeling super blessed because i've gotten so much help, support and feedback and things are coming along.

The cameos really are a trip. It's fun to use pictures that show a person's personality and fit it into the story. It makes me feel like the story belongs to other people rather than just from my head TO other people. Plus, I love drawing people.

check out the cameos!

loveLoveLOVE!

You're next :)

love it so far...keep it up


does it really matter?

for all my fans who keep my name in their mouth: http://i.imgur.com/v2xNOpS.jpg

one of those characters you love to hate lol

i just think she loves too hard.

i definitely had to tone her down in this version.

would make it to this version
what you call loving hard I call being batshit crazy, possessive and jealous
but of course my character is the long-suffering homegirl so I'm biased lol

back when i wrote that version, i didn't know how easy it was to just not use a condom. i thought it made more sense for a woman to deliberately get preggers than to just be irresponsible, lol.

either way, both scenarios fit with Marlena's character
happy she's going to be the crazy ex now versus being the current girlfriend

i usually read them standing over someone's shoulder on the train

you must REAAALLLLLYYYY get on a nigga's nerves cause I don't see no reason why you don't have no steady dude.

do you always ask them to marry you by the third date?

what happened in your twentys? you was just fuckin and not tryna be chose like that?

ass is phat, smile is nice, smart, artistic, well travelled...
wait, are you gay?
NTTIAWWT but that's where this is pointing to for me.
If you was a dude with them quals i'd DEF say you was a bit light in the loafers.

just now seeing this and WOW.

i'm just over here smiling.

what does that acronym stand for anyway?

i would love to get more $10 donations so i have more than two names to draw in the contest to win all the perks...

and more cameos! they are by far the best part of the campaign.
