The Portent campaign has headed into its final day at Backerkit this morning, and you've really blown it out of the park ;^; We've unlocked so many stretch goals this month, and we might just be heading towards the last one. And that also means that yes, since my last update and today, the yokai expansion illustrations have become unlocked! I'll officially be doing some 22 additional illustrations in July, and I'm so looking forward to it! And to everyone who also pitched in with some cute yokai ideas, thank you <3
I've also finalized v1 of the front and back of the bookmark yesterday:
The design may still change a little, depending on the final artwork for Tsuki (The Moon) and Taiyo (The Sun) and maybe some technical limitations, but I don't expect anything drastic. And, if the printer lets me, I'll try and add in some gold detailing here or there. Fingers crossed <3
Since it's the last day today, I want to take a moment to celebrate how far Portent has come. Even the unillustrated yokai expansion itself had been a stretch goal I had hoped for but hadn't realistically expected to make, and now we're at illustrated. For someone who is running this project on her own, I feel very blessed with the support around me; from the playtesters, the muses, and my rubber duck friends, to everyone who has backed Portent or spread the word. You are all stars in the skies above Kaminari <3
So, as my thanks to you, I am adding a little something extra to the hardcover book! Let me know which you'd like best?
