As of this writing, the backer train for Deluxe Heralds has been running continously since we launched this morning, with more than 1265 backers already pledged.

And thanks to you, we've blown through two stretch goals already, unlocking three more full-color art pieces for Deluxe Heralds:

In-progress sketches from all three are featured below!

This almost means that we're approaching the first major physical unlock for the campaign: a brand new book that we'll add to every Deluxe Heralds pledge level if we raise at least $175,000. (Spoilers -- We're definitely going to raise that much at this rate, probably later today.)

Following its success in the Grandmaster campaign, we're thrilled to bring you The Art of the Heralds of Valdemar. This large format book measures 9x12 inches, with perforated edges to make the removal of art for framing easy. Color art is printed on deluxe, thick paper that we selected specifically for its gorgeous color reproduction, with the black-and-white pages are printed on a thick matte paper that's suitable for coloring.

The cover will be foiled with the title and Misty's name, and the book will contain every piece of art from Deluxe Heralds, including any new art unlocks. Furthermore, we'll use any extra black-and-white pages to print full-sized sheet music for as many of the songs from the album as we can fit!

This unlock will add $25 of value to your pledge and we're including it in the Deluxe Heralds reward levels at no extra cost if the campaign reaches at least $175,000!

While you'll need to stay tuned for the cover if we reach our goal, we're very excited to reveal the three in-progress art pieces that you all have unlocked already. We can't wait for the full color versions and after seeing these, we're guessing that you'll feel the same.
