First and foremost a continued thank you and deep-hearted appreciation to everyone who's supported this project since its inception. We don't take your patience and support for granted, and never will.
There's a lot of goodies jam-packed in this update for you all, filled with exciting visuals and big news on AWP!
Major Update: Collector's Edition Tier Samples - (...finally!)
Recently I was able to finish carving out time to reach out to some manufacturers to produce the Collector's Edition Box for backers of that pledge. The original inspiration and design is a play off of the classic SNES game boxes 🎮 from Nintendo (please don't sue us...😅) There's something about the retro design of those game boxes that stuck out to me in a reimagined and redesigned look with the branding of Apeiros World. So it was a no brainer!
Halfway through the sourcing process I thought about how to elevate the packaging experience for you all and decided to create a different, more premium look. I've always been a fan of great package design and who else is more a master at it than Apple!
So, backers of this tier will have the option to choose if they want the lid and base box or stick with the SNES style (*Note: We'll confirm when confirming address updates when shipping out. If no response then we'll send the SNES box.)
These CE boxes are a limited run... 151 - so that means each will be numbered with a certificate of authenticity and available only at conventions and/or the official website until all sold and gone for good! More details when the item is finalized.
Visual Showcase 1: New Environment Concept Artwork
This piece has been months in the making of and I'm excited for the turnout of this concept art piece done by the supremely talented Rok-Mo. I wanted to capture more of the grander visuals that make up Apeiros as this narrative and adventure unfolds. To show a bit of the grandeur that was Apeiros before its downfall. To evoke a moody feeling majestic wonder as Ezra is manipulating one of the Elements of Apeiros in his hands... I hope you all love it as much as we do!
This artwork will be featured on the new website soon to launch.
Visual Showcase 2: New Character artwork WIP
Next up is some stylized pieces for Ezra and Khadija done by Andrew Russell.
His approach to black and white line art and inks I felt was a perfect match for expressing the versatility of these two characters, check the instagram soon for the completed versions soon!
Manga Status: Art, Lettering, and Overall Progress
Currently we're on track for finalizing the art the remainder of May and moving towards lettering in June. At this phase it's all about the little details, we'll provide another update once lettering is okay'd (sometimes dialog may require revision due to formatting constraints). - So don't fret if it's a bit quiet between now and end of June :) - we're hard at work for you all!
We'll conduct one last round of any address changes that may have happened so please check your messages, emails and the backer posts for when that announcement goes out.
First Look: New Podcast Logo!
This has been months of work in the background of working on Apeiros World Odyssey that I'm finally happy to share a sneak peek into the new logo/mascot for the podcast affiliated with The Apeiros World Project!
More details will come next month in which we hope to launch with full slate of episodes on art, writing, Apeiros, creativity, business, and more. So stay tuned!
