Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update #2

We’re back to let you know the artwork for the Samurai Chef is under way!  They’ll be a sneak peek of some early pages in a future update, ahead of the preview of the comic on our website on Christmas Day!

 

For now we have more characters from the book to show you: three of the many chefs to send their dishes to be judged Samurai Chef style, enjoy 🙂

 

 

 

 

 


We’ve also got an early look at the artwork for backers of the “Chef’s Special” perk which will be coloured and framed by the end of the project.

 

 

 

 

For the backers of the “Extra Spice” Perk, we’ll be getting in touch with you about turning you pets into extras in the book.

 

We’ll also be contacting backers of the “Just Desserts” at the start of the new year to get your t-shirt sizes as the limited edition t-shirts will now be printed in January.

 

That’s all for now. See you again for the next update in a couple weeks.

Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update

 

It’s been a while since the end of our fund raising campaign and we’re sorry for not providing an update on the progress of the project.

The main news to report is that the book is unfortunately being delayed by a few months.

The book artwork is in progress but this means the printed copy of the book itself will not be shipping until February 4th 2013.

We’re really sorry to have to push things back, but we will be releasing the other perks of the project over the next two months before Christmas.

This includes the t-shirt design in December, the complete PDF version of the manga in mid January ahead of the release of the printed book itself in early February.

Starting today, we’ll send out updates on the project every two weeks. You can expect the next update on Friday November 9th.

For now we have a sneak peek at two of the new characters you’ll be seeing in the Samurai Chef book: Jimi and Mary. Both will be featuring in the book along side the Samurai Chef himself.

 

Jimi

The host of the Samurai Chef.  Jimi provides play by play of the action in his unique flavour.

Mary

Samurai Chef production assistant.  Mary does work across different shows including some clean up tasks.  And there is plenty to clean up on the Samurai Chef!

 

New Project Dates

Again, we’re very sorry the project is being delayed, but stick with us and we’ll make sure you’re not dissapointed with the final result.

So, here are the important dates to remember:

  • Monday November 26th: Badge sets and artwork done.
  • Saturday December 8th: T-Shirt available for release.
  • Tuesday December 25th: Online manga preview of the Samurai Chef.
  • Monday January 14th: Complete PDF version of Samurai Chef available.
  • Monday February 4th: Printed edition of the Samurai Chef manga ships.

Thanks again for backing the Samurai Chef and see you again in two weeks 🙂

11th Hour Photoshoot Pt2

So it’s the third ever mayamada photoshoot and this time the show is the 11th Hour. As a refresher, the 11th Hour follows four strangers as they fight to survive a series of seemingly random attacks in a 24 style race against time. In fact, the pocket watch can be considered the symbol of the show and we incorporated this prop into our shoot.
