On Wednesday nights the team gets together and talks shop. Lore, pace, plans, commitments, challenges, how unimpressed Evan is with Disneyland's castle, and other things...secrets that you will have to wait a bit longer to know.

Evan draws the entire time. Last night he drew Becc & Ceith.

Good news! If you've already backed, then you will see the image below (below below, like below Sig and Sonk). If you have not, then once you do, it will be waiting for you in "updates" inside the campaign. 

Soon, we intend to bring a second illustrator into these meetings. His name is Casey. He joined me on the Live Illustration last Friday where in a single hour, he crafted (below) Sig Scroffe and his Calling, the Boar, aka Sonk, aka Muzzleblades.
 

Off to a great start!

Dillon, Evan, and I created this campaign as an opportunity to engage with new creators.

The "Becc the Brave & Ceith the Curious" story was created because two parents wanted their son to be a character in a kids book, but did not have the time and know-how to undertake the project. Since then, other parents have requested their kids be the feature of the next book in the series. Perhaps "Lucc the Lightfoot" will get his story. Maybe someone wants to bring their daughter to life?

Dillon and I, since determining this will become a series, have also been talking about the A-story that connects the standalone books in the series. There will probably be a villain / catastrophe that loosely ties all of the books together. 

Enter "Pendelve the Parser & Jorunn the Jester" in an upcoming short story. We are finally adding ourselves as characters in Bastunia, complete with 3 full powered beasts. This story will be a glimpse into the larger world beyond Hömme (where Becc & Ceith live). 

If you would like to make an appearance in this short story, get in touch! 

What would your kid's "Bastunian Viking" name be?

I heard some good ones yesterday. 

Spencer the Savage.

Christian the Courageous. 

Ashlyn the Ambitious (you may remember her from the last page of Book 3). 

Poppy the Persistent. 

Rayna the Reckless. 

Lucc the Lightfoot, Legend, Learned...

Most book series maintain a pattern across each title, like "Harry Potter & the..." This kids series will feature our followers kids and the lessons you want to teach them. In future campaigns, we will offer opportunities to sponsor a book and curate stories with you. Give it some thought. Do you want to see your kid illustrated and infused into Bastunia?

We're LIVE!
