Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update #6

In case you missed the comic preview over Christmas, you can still check it out right here:https://www.mayamada.com/samurai-chef-preview

And if you liked the first few pages, please take a moment to thank our artist Pinali on Twitter (@Pinalinet) for her amazing work on the Samurai Chef comic.

This week will be of special interest to backers of the Just Desserts perk as we can now reveal the New Samurai Chef t-shirt design made specially for the project.

The design features the, err…watchful…face of the Samurai Chef alongside the bold lettering “Samurai Chef” in Japanese.

It’ll be available in both men and women fits and be on your way along with the book itself. Expect an email in your inboxes soon asking for preferred sizes before we make the print run next week.

For those that didn’t select this perk but are wishing they did, we’ll be making a limited run of the t-shirt and will have some left for purchase.

We’ll let you know the details of how to get them in the coming weeks, but you will have to be quick! Once it’s gone it will be gone forever.

We’re very close to the end now we can taste it…no pun intended!

See you again soon with more updates ahead of the book’s release.

Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update #5

So…world didn’t come to a screeching halt after all.

That’s great because we’re still working away on the Samurai Chef book and it would be a shame if we never got to finish it 🙂

In our last update we saw three different pets that were to become extras in the show and this week we can reveal the completed transformations!

Firstly we have our two cats Shiro and Kuro.

And last but not least we have the goldfish Diamond.

All three of these characters are being drawn into the show as we speak and will be seen when the book is finally release.

We’re now about a month away from the artwork for the being completed. Don’t forget that we will have a 15 page preview on Christmas Day too.

On our next update we will be able to show off the Samurai Chef t-shirt design that will be going backers who selected the “Just Desserts” perk.

See you then ^_^

Samurai Chef Indiegogo Update #4

Nigel December 7, 2012 No Comments

As the weeks go by we’re getting closer to hitting one of the more wackier perks of our Indiegogo campaign – pets!

That’s right, as promised we will be turning pets into featured extras in the Samurai Chef storyline.

Two people requested this perk and this week we were sent the pictures of real pets doing real pet things.

We’ve got two very cute cats and and one goldfish who answers to Diamond.

This is what each pet looked like before their mayamada transformation.

Now comes the hard part. In a future update you’ll get to see how we turned these three into characters in the manga book.

…I for one am interested to see how Diamond turns out…Stay tuned ^_^

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.
