Bloom #1 - The Origin of a Prophet

Help with the Photocover!
about 3 years ago – Tue, Mar 16, 2021 at 09:36:55 PM

I had to do some revisions to the original Alicia Lynn mockup cover when I was preparing the file for print. There were some RGB bright colors that couldn't be reproduced on paper, and because of that, I had to slightly rework things, and then got carried away. Now there's ALL these cool options. 

Which one is your fave? Please a comment in this update or on facebook. Thanks. :)

Check out our —hot off the Cintiq— Drawn Into The Cult cover. What a groov-tastic looking bunch! Pencils and inks by series artist Butch Mapa, colors by me. What do we think? 

Backerkit surveys are coming soon.

Hi Guys, 

Just wanted to say a quick word of thanks for backing Bloom #1. If this will be your first time meeting Regina, I think you'll fall for her as quickly as I did. And if you've been following along since Apama, I can't wait for you to finally see her origin story. Ted cooked up something special for her! Don't hesitate to reach out on social media and let me know what you think of the issue!

Bloom #1 is almost ready for the printer. I'm still wrapping up some non-story pages, and Butch just sent me the inks for the "Drawn Into the Cult" cover which came out AMAZING. (Still to be colored)

You will receive a survey later in the week to collect your preferences and address. I'm pretty jazzed to have Backerkit hosting our surveys. Here's a little tour of the process which also has a thumbnail preview of the Drawn Into the Cult cover.

Thank you :)

Thank YOU Times 392!
