Thank you all for your support!

Hey everyone, Nick here. If you’re enjoying the art you’ve seen throughout the Antigone Filligree campaign, I really recommend checking out the Antigone Sketchbook Add-On before the campaign closes in the next 15 hours.
This is a 24-page companion book packed with sketches, concept art, process work, and behind-the-scenes material from the creation of Antigone Filigree. Four pages are presented in full colour, with the remaining pages in rich black & white. It will push past the panels and borders of Antigone Filigree #1 and let you glimpse the spectacular world that's been slowly been developed for the last decade. It's a real trip.
I always love seeing how comics evolve from rough ideas into finished pages, and this sketchbook pulls back the curtain on the world, characters, and visual development of the book in a really personal way. The 4 colour pages contain a detailed map of the expansive lands of the realm, a double page spread design dossier and more! This ashcan on display here in nowhere near the quality colors and rich blacks of the final product. The cover will most likely be silk screened, and all books are hand assembled by me, as well as being signed and numbered.
If you want a deeper look into the making of Antigone Filligree, this is the perfect companion piece to add onto your pledge before the campaign wraps up!
Thanks for all the support, Caleb and I are excited to continue on this epic story, it's going to be jawdropping.
All the best,
Nick OG
Hello! With just three days left, I wanted to drop in and say thank you for making this campaign a huge success.
Here's a peek at some of Nick's concept art for the kaiju in the book:
While I'm here, I wanted to share a couple of great campaigns by some fellow creators that are also live right now:
The latest volume of Madeleine Holly-Rosing's hit series is live on Kickstarter now! Madeleine has been a huge inspiration for me since before I ever launched my first campaign, so I'm always happy to support her work.
From the Kickstarter page:
"This campaign is to print our SPECIAL EDITION HARDBACK AND SOFTBACK of BOSTON METAPHYSICAL SOCIETY VOLUME 3.
This deluxe volume features not only the complete Mystery at Pikes Peak mini-series, but includes new pin up art, all of the previous variant covers, and a NEW and EXCLUSIVE ELEVEN PAGE STORY, The Wraith of Mechanics Hall, with art by Roberta Ingranata, into a huge 136+ page book!"

I supported the first issue of This Seems Normal by Gabe Cheng, and I was hooked. I'm a huge fan of the series, and I'm happy to give it a shout out.
From the Kickstarter page:
"Writer Gabe Cheng and artist Elisa Meneghel return with the second installment of their genre-blending, laugh-out-loud, multi-hyphenate comedy series. Dive into a brand new adventure with impulsive siblings Sophie and Enzo, alongside a lineup of exciting new characters ready to steal the spotlight!
When Sophie discovers she has superpowers, she turns to her superhero brother Maddox to help her master them. Meanwhile, Enzo and Calvin embark on a treasure hunt packed with action, romance, and pirate curses!
At its heart, this comic is about family, and the love, chaos, and downright ridiculousness that comes with it. And when it comes to this family, anything can happen, so expect the unexpected!"

That's it for today! Thanks for your support!

Just dropping in for a quick update to say thank you so much for your early support! We funded on the first day, and blew way past our funding goal.
It's always nerve-wracking to launch something new, and this launch has so far exceeded expectations.
From both Nick and I, thank you so much.
More soon!
