CHAMPION OF DEMA COMPLETED!!

That’s right people!

What we've all been waiting for is finally complete. Champion Of Dema is done! All 82 pages of artwork have been inked and revised. Can't believe we made it, all the way from a kickstarter campaign and now to a finished product. The novel is going to be pretty awesome if we do say so ourselves... Here's a quick sample :)  
A completed double page spread from Champion of Dema.

What we're doing now is compiling the pages together, going through each page, proof reading, rearranging and just making sure everything is 100% top notch. We're also working on additional pages like credits, journal excerpts and so on.
Pretty soon we should be looking to send the pdf book off to the printers and then it’s only a matter of time before we get back the hard copies and all the beautiful people that pledged and contributed can finally receive their rewards all at once.
Then the next step will be promotion... doing our best to spread the word and get this graphic novel into every comic scene that we can. That is going to be the difficult part and we sincerely hope you guys will be willing to help us in any you can with that.
We're so excited and honestly can’t wait for the world to read this graphic novel. We would love to hear all your opinions on it :) 
That’s all the news we have for now folks

CHAMPION OF DEMA KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN SUCCESSFULL!!


WHEN WE MET OUR GOAL


YESSS PEOPLE!!!

You heard right... Our kickstarter campaign ended successfully, with us being able to raise over 100% of the intended goal.

We are so thankful to all those that helped us achieve our goal and very grateful. There were a total of 100 backers, so that means 100 copies of Champion of Dema has already been pre-ordered. :)

Now we're working away to fulfil the commitments promised, like finishing off the awesome graphic novel we've been working on. Printing the posters required, designing and creating our customised T-shirts and all the other promised merchandise.

CHAMPION OF DEMA KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN IS LIVE - GET YOUR COPY NOW!!


Day 4 of our kickstarter campaign

That's right people, KIRUcomics first ever kickstarter campaign has gone live and we're going to need your help more than ever to make this a success. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1088749339/champion-of-dema?ref=live

The campaign is for our latest project Champion of Dema, a one shot Afrocentric graphic novel about a reluctant hero who is constantly plagued by the citizens of his village to be their Champion. Our kickstarter goal is £3,000 and the deadline for the campaign is November 24th. 

Kickstarter is a crowd funding platform in which you set a goal and tell the people what you wish to achieve. If the people like what you’re doing, they may pledge an amount to help you on your way and in return you give them a reward. So it's more or less you guys pre-ordering the novel before it's out.

We've poured our hearts and souls into this project, we took the time to design each aspect of the characters and the city of Dema from the ground up. You can expect well rounded characters and a detailed city in which to let your imagination loose.

We really need everyone's help to make this all happen... So even if you can't fund it, you can help by simply spreading the word and letting as many people know as possible. Although if you want a free copy of the finished book you will have to pledge to get your hands on one. Please share this project on your twitter and facbook accounts (and any other social media sites).
