It's Official: The Whore of Babylon is Fully Funded!

We did it! We've crossed the $10K mark...THE WHORE OF BABYLON graphic novel is a go! Thank you all of you for making this book possible. 

But we've got three days left and I'm making the most of it, I'm pushing the throttle down and aiming for the next stretch goal at $10,500. But more on that tomorrow.

UPDATE: we are $740 away from our goal and making the Whore of Babylon a reality. Thank you to everyone who has supported the project so far. If you missed our update last week, we unlocked the 75% milestone bonus, which means all physical backers get high quality stickers of the variant covers. Cool! 

In the meantime, how about a sketch to get you through your Monday? Still cranking these out and one could be yours for the small addition of $5 to your pledge. 

1 week to go, 75% milestone bonus unlocked!

We hit 81% tonight and because we blew past that 75% milestone, I'm pleased to say that all Backers at the $20 level or above will receive A VARIANT COVER STICKER SET! Now you can stick this amazing art on your guitar, laptop, water bottle or where ever else you want.  All stickers are high quality and outdoor safe.

Live Sketching Today (10/21) @ 10AM
over 7 years ago – Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 07:05:35 AM

Two of you took us up on our offer of $5 sketches yesterday. Awesome! 

Today at 10AM, Joe will be doing a live feed of those sketches on his Facebook page. If you haven't Liked the Infernal Pact page or aren't following Joe, what are you waiting for? There are art process pics, our con schedule, projects we enjoy and other cool stuff.  

So, go on over and like it, it's fine, we'll wait.

Done? Okay, good.

In the meantime, here's a little update on where we are with the project. Yesterday was a spectacular day, bringing us that much closer to the 75% mark and to being fully funded.  So far, the project is--

  • 72% backed with 156 backers, so far  
  • 1 WEEK LEFT until the end of the campaign on October 29th
  • $2,776 away from full funding
  • $276 away from meeting the 75% mark with spacial backer rewards!

Seriously, we are so close to the next hurdle, if all 154 of you added a $5 sketch to your pledge, we'd get there today. But in the meantime, set your clocks for 10AM to check out the live feed

We all know you're surfing at work anyway.
