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.

Kade |Mabrin, the main character and the spirit of Dema

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).

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO.

Hey guys

It's been a while since our blog has been updated, if you've been wondering what we've been doing and you haven't liked our facebook page  or followed us on twitter then this update is for you.

We have been working superhard on our upcoming graphic novel Champion of Dema, things have been going well and we've been putting a lot of effort into research and designs in order to develop an original and unique novel for your reading pleasure.

We're looking into various methods for funding this project, the most likely so far being crowd funding. But in order to be successful in that, we'll desperately need all your help.

CHAMPION OF DEMA... What is it?

I have buckled down and started working hard on the stand alone comic project; Champion of Dema which I hope to have ready by the October MCM. But I bet you're all wondering what is this Champion Of Dema about... after all he keeps mentioning it on the social media sites but we don't know what it's actually about and it's not on the website. Well all that is about to change.

Let me start by giving you the low down on the story. 

Champion of Dema is about a young man named Kade Mabrin who’s forced to be a hero (or in this case a champion) but keeps trying to escape his responsibilities.

Every 10 years in Dema someone is magically chosen and seemingly at random to become the new champion (hero) of the city. Kade Mabrin has been chosen as the new champion of Tema to uphold justice and defend the city against evil beings known as soul-takers. Unfortunately for the city, Kade has no intentions of being a hero, instead he would rather spend his days gambling and partying.

This story is a little unique in the fact that it is going to have various elements of the African culture in it, so for example, a lot of the clothes will be African clothes.

Right now I'm in the process of designing the character Kade Mabrin and a few amazing artists have sent their ideas. Which one do you guys like best (keeping in mind he's supposed to be black)?

The various versions of Kade Mabrin done by 6 different artists.

Yellow LFCC was an educational experience

The London Film and Comic Con, attended by Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Jason Mamoa (Khal Drogo), Lena Headey (Cersie Lannister), David Hasselhof and yours truly. Yes it was an event filled with celebrity and the biggest was none other than moi ;p...

Yours truly enjoying episode 1 of Jinn

Hammer time... oh oh 

Successful MCM... Now looking forward to LFCC

So for the first time KIRUcomics attended the london MCM expo in May and we had an amazing time. We truly enjoyed the event, made new friends, sold some comics, had fun but most importantly of all we got the word out there.

Amazing fans purchasing a hardcopy of JINN

We were there doing our best to make sure everyone at least knows about us and spreading our work all over London and the UK (and hopefully all over the world). I'm glad to say we sold out of Episode 1 of Jinn, and most people that enjoyed 1 came back for 2 and 3... it was truly a successful weekend.

SHAMBLES! Law holding on to his own copy of JINN

Another awesome fan with a copy of JINN

But our work isn't done... even though May was successful, we didn't do nearly enough in spreading the word. That's why we are going to be at the London Film & Comic Con  (LFCC) this weekend in Earls Court screaming at the top of our lungs (metaphorically of course) so every can hear us. There are so many Manga lovers out there and we shall not rest until every single one of them have heard about KIRUcomics.

Remember our first ever blog entry (called The Declaration): "WE're going to make you all love MANGA mwuhahahaha… by the time We're done, people that never imagined they could enjoy a comic will be hooked on mine like angry birds."

JINN AT LONDON MCMEXPO

Yep, that's right! This weekend, I'm going to be the MCM expo selling hard copies of JINN Episode 1 to 3 for all those that want a copy (and that's everybody, you all just don't know it yet).

Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to book a table at the comic village so missing one of those, I had to find another table (which was a hell of a lot more expensive). Regardless of all that, I'll be in N7 behind a KIRUcomics banner selling my comics so come check me out... right next to ajiey media (we're sharing the crazy expensive table).

Just to show you that i'm serious about being there this time you can see my preparations
