Devil Spy Bookplate Design

Added 2016-08-14 22:36:22 +0000 UTC

Good afternoon (or evening!) everyone! This is the bookplate design for the upcoming first book of Devil Spy! I wanted to give my patrons a sneak peak at it now as I wont be sharing it publicly until closer to the launch of the Kickstarter (in January). Please let me know if you like it!

In case you don't know what a bookplate is, it's basically a special illustration that will be included in copies of the Devil Spy book that are purchased through the Kickstarter, along with my signature. :)

The campaign wont be for another five (ish) months, but I wanted to start getting a jump on it now to spread awareness. I hope it will be a success. Here's my plans for the book and rewards so far.

The book itself will collect the first six chapters of Devil Spy plus the 10 page prologue. Including the chapter title pages, that's 100 pages of comic. I am planning bonus features such as concept sketches, character fun facts, information about the series, Q & A and fan art. I am open to suggestions for things you might like to see included in the book. I'm not sure yet what the final page count will be, but hoping for something around 110-120 pages. The book might be 6"x9" in size, which is a different size than my previous 2 books. I'm planning to talk to the printer about book sizes closer to January so I should be able to say what size the books will be then.

Rewards levels for the Kickstarter will include: sticker set, various levels of book sketches (pencil sketch, grayscale marker sketch, color marker sketch), print set, tee shirts, custom artwork, original pencilled comic pages, original book cover art. If you have any suggestions for reward items I can consider, please let me know!

I'm really looking forward to printing this book, I hope you are looking forward to getting a copy too. ^_^ I have a lot to think about as far as book extras and the book cover and all that are concerned.

I hope you are all having a great day! Thank you so much for your continued support!
