IN DETAIL
That's right, the back of Blue Fire will now have an original painted illustration by Saša Đurđević!
Meanwhile you've already unlocked his also doing illustrations for the chapter headings, and - we love to say this word - a custom dinkus.
Don't worry, a dinkus isn't rude, it's that symbol or line you sometimes see which is used in manuscripts to denote a significant break within the work between major sections. In our recently released novella WHAT ROUGH BEAST? (available as an add-on) we used this:
No shame in that game! But thanks to you BLUE FIRE will instead use a custom illustration by Saša for its dinkuses...dinkus....dinki? Y-you get the idea.
OUR FINAL STRETCH GOAL....well, we've:
Doubled the interior art by Saprophial...
Unlocked spray color edges, whose color backers get to vote on...
Discounted shipping for backers outside the United States...
Added a fun Jirel one-page cartoon by Clade Mirya...
Added a back cover painting by Saša...
...and added those chapter heading illustrations & custom dinkusususususus....
We could just keep adding things onto this book until we'd be giving it spinning rims, but at this stage we'd like to acknowledge an awful lot of hard work by making our final stretch goal pay bonuses for the author, the artists, and the staff involved in producing BLUE FIRE.
This will help them all keep doing what they do best, creating wonderful Sword & Sorcery words, art, and publications for us all to enjoy!
Livestream tonight! Join myself, Luanna Saitta, Nathan Long, and Jeremy Pak Nelson for a light panel discussion of one classic Jirel tale (HELLSGARDE by C.L. Moore) and one 21st century Jirel tale (JIREL AND THE MIRROR OF TRUTH by Molly Tanzer)! It goes live at 7pm est, at the top of the crowdfund page.
