Hi Everyone,
Backer surveys will hit your inboxes starting today and will be fully distributed this week.
Please fill them out as soon as you get them—we use your responses to lock shipping details, confirm rewards, and (crucially) set the print counts for the variant covers.
Add-ons are open with low shipping rates.
Want to tack on an extra cover, upgrade formats, or grab a gift for a friend? You’ll be able to add to your order right in the survey without getting hammered on shipping.
Thanks again for supporting this book. Keep an eye on your inbox, and if you don’t see a survey by the end of the week, check spam or ping us and we’ll help ASAP.

Dear Backers,
We’re thrilled to let you know that Goshawk and Falconet Volume 2 is officially complete and going to print! Thanks to your support, we were able to push this book to new heights, and we can’t wait for you to have it in your hands.
We also want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for backing our projects. Your belief in our stories makes all of this possible, and we couldn’t do it without you.
On the fulfillment side, we’re currently evaluating whether to use Kickstarter Fulfillment, Pledgebox, or BackerKit for surveys and shipping. We’ll let you know very soon which option we decide to go with so you’ll have a smooth experience when it comes time to get your rewards.
Stay tuned for updates, and as always—thank you for standing with us.
With gratitude,

Update: Quality Control Phase
about 1 year ago

Hi everyone,
We’re in the final stretch! The artwork, inks, and colors are complete, and the book has been in the Quality Control (QC) portion for the last three weeks. As part of this process, we actually decided to redo one page—not because it wasn’t strong, but because we realized the story could be told even better. The change was worth it, and we think you’ll be glad we took the extra time.
QC is more than just proofreading—it’s a meticulous review of the entire book. There are over 100 line items across writing, art, and coloring that we address, panel by panel. We take each moment very seriously, going through the book with a fine-tooth comb to ensure dialogue flows naturally, art is consistent, and every page feels polished and intentional.
Once QC is finished, we’ll release BackerKit surveys so we can confirm your shipping details and make sure your rewards get to you without a hitch. Please keep an eye out for those and fill them out promptly once they arrive.
Thank you, as always, for your patience and support.

📢 Coloring Complete! Goshawk & Falconet Vol. 2 Enters Final Phases

Big milestone—coloring is DONE on Goshawk & Falconet Vol. 2!
The next step is lettering, followed by our Quality Control phase where we comb through every page to make sure it’s print-ready and flawless.
Once the book enters QC, we’ll send out BackerKit surveys so you can confirm your address, select add-ons, and get ready for shipping.
This volume takes everything up a notch—more action, more emotion, more danger… and yes, more skin. (As you can see, Sierra’s getting a little sun while you wait ☀️😉)
🕷️ The Arachna 4 Kickstarter is LIVE! 🕷️
Our favorite web-slinging heroine is back—and this time, the stakes are darker, deeper, and deadlier than ever.
