Hello world!
It is I, Alexis, the slightly awkward artist from the video above. Yeah, I'm not much of a public speaker. But I make up for it with my artistic abilities. My story writing ain't too shabby, neither.
Yeah, still slightly awkward.
About the Comic
In an isolated lighthouse live two sisters, Anna and Polina, and their mother, Vla. Polina gets engaged and leaves the lighthouse, only to go missing at sea. Concerned for her wellbeing, Anna and her mother go searching for her, on the desolate and lonley sea.
Anna and her mother do not see the world the same way. What Anna can't find in her mother, she looks for in her grandmother, Yona. Yona died at sea and appears to Anna as a ghost. She guides Anna in her quest to find Polina, but does not appear to her daughter, Vla.
It is a story of strained relationships, with an eerie quality. Mostly black and white, there are a few symbolic injections of colour. This comic is 66 pages long and will be printed as an A4 trade paperback (with a spine). It is an original stand alone graphic novel.
The comic is complete and ready to print. All I need is the money to print it. (Also to print A3 prints of one of the pages, pay for postage, etc.) So if the fundraising goal is reached, it should be ready to ship pretty soon. I've got 90 days to crowdfund and then it should be out in about a month. (Giving time to get it printed and sent to me, then distributed to everyone who pledges.)
Pledging rewards include a computer wallpaper, a pdf copy of the book, a printed copy of the book, art prints and comissions. There are different levels with different amounts of cool stuff, so check it out.
Thank you for taking a look at my project. And a huge thank you to anyone who pledges, I really appreciate it. And I hope you spread the word! This is all or nothing, so I need your help to get this baby printed.
