May Update
Added 2017-05-06 18:49:15 +0000 UTCI'm sorry it's been a while since I posted an update.
I've re-engaged the services of Erin Rozenweig of AllNighterProductions (produced the Liara, Benezia and Shepard artwork) after a lengthy amount of time where she was too busy.
I expect at least one piece this month, possibly three by June : Ahern, Dragunov and another one of Minsta.
I'm sorry to report that one artist took the proffered front funds and refused to reply (basically ripping me off) and another one that accepted payment for work done turned out to be stealing other people's similar looking artwork and passing it off as her own.
I have decided, thus, it is simpler and safer to use only the known artists that have already done work for me of the proper caliber in the future. This is problematic as three of them no longer do commissions and one is often busy.
On the fan fiction side, work has calmed down enough and I'm making process on both the mainfic and several side projects (Cerberus Files, Tech Guide, etc). I do not have a hard release date yet but it will be before the end of the month.
On the original fiction side, the complete outline is finally done for the opening book of the series. I'm also reaching out to several other collaborators for possible tie-ins with other media (animation, gaming, whatever).
As always -- if you are unhappy with the speed of progress or your financial situation changes feel free to adjust your pledge downwards. I'm aware things have been on hold for several months and (given why they were on hold) I'm pretty confident it won't happen again.
