Beyond Mode 7 Game Start!

It’s been exactly a month since my last update! Time sure is flying this year.

A lot has happened in the time has passed, most of it involving Beyond Mode 7.

The book is complete, and the digital version is out to all the Kickstarter backers. Jesse and I still have not decided on whether to make this version available after the KS rewards are fulfilled, but we will certainly let y’all know once we do reach a decision!

The final print version PDF went to the printers TODAY, we hope to have a proof approved by Wednesday next week!

The Posters being printed as backer rewards are super cool, so much of the art and exclusives translated very well to larger-size print. IF you didn’t get in on the project’s KS, and want to grab any of the posters, I would encourage you to contact the contributing artist or Jesse and myself about perhaps ordering one.

One poster in particular, Blair Shedd’s exclusive Stretch-Goal Legend of Zelda: ALttP reward poster IS going to be available for purchase from Jesse and I and Blair himself at the many, many conventions the 3 of us do. You can grab a copy from us there!

IF you’re native to New England, plan on attending GraniteCon the weekend of September 13-14th as Beyond Mode 7 will be premiering at the show publicly for the first time! We’ll also have plenty of Blair’s posters, and many other goodies with us for purchase, along with all our regular comics, art, prints, and sketch cards!

Citadel Chapter 3 final draft writing is underway and look for the story to continue in the final week of this month, here at RKDIA Comics!

Cheers!

A return to Productivity

Hey all,

Once again, apologies for the radio silence here at RKDIA Comics, we’re in pre-press phase for Beyond Mode 7 and almost ready to get the books made! Very soon after that, there will be a whole lot of new art to share as Jesse and I begin creating Sketch cards and commissions for all the backers who pledged at those levels! I will be putting up here every single piece I do for the backers, so Sketch Card Thursdays will return soon!

Shortly after that, Citadel will return every Tuesday and also stay tuned for a couple announcements about some new comics coming to the site!

Lots going on in the background here, can’t wait to share it all with you!

Goals Reached!

Hey everyone, it’s been a very long time since I last did a front-page post on the site! I’ve been very very busy organizing and running the Beyond Mode 7 Kickstarter!

Funding is now over and we reached highly unexpected levels of success with the campaign! While I would love to get back to drawing and posting Citadel pages, now my attention must be focused on fulfilling all of the KickStarter rewards! We’re going to have a lot of books leftover, so if you want a copy, come see Jesse and I at our two remaining shows this year: GraniteCon and MAGFest for New Years 2015!

I expect to start Citadel Chapter 3 some time in July. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks,
