Final MEDINA cover and NEW COLOR pages from Graphic Novel.

Sorry for the very late update. The artists have been working really hard in getting this final book completed along with the FULL COLOR GRAPHIC NOVEL.  Verlei has finished the pencils and inks for Book Eight. So I am excited to be able to show you some of the pages for the final book of the series. I also have some new color pages from BOOK TWO that have been lettered by Ken. These pages truly look great. I have also received the finished painted commissions by Matt Slay.  Amanda, Sam and Paul, I hope you enjoy these awesome paintings by Matt. They will be posted below! I also have the first two layouts from ALLAN JEFFERSON. The finished paintings will be posted later. 

I am using BackerKit for the surveys this time. I had a few backers ask to get the GRAPHIC NOVEL now but couldn't do it during the campaign because they had a set budget or just got some other cool stuff and couldn't buy everything. Well now is your chance. All of you will have the chance to buy the GRAPHIC NOVEL,VARIANT COVERS, Metal COVERS, and some great ORIGINAL ARTWORK to add to your collection.  All extra purchases on BackerKIt will be shipped for FREE in the USA only. Extra charges will be applied to International backers.

I realized when I wanted to get all eight books colored and lettered professionally, that it would be affordable and within the budget goal, I was wrong. That is why I am offering more great stuff on Backerkit. I am trying to raise some more money to pay for the printing costs for the graphic novel minimum order. This goal I should be able to accomplish with no problem, with the help from you. I want all of my Loyal Backers to get the FULL COLOR GRAPHIC NOVEL with the Allan Jefferson cover that I had been promising to you since day one. The price will be $50.00 for the book and it will also come with a limited collectible MEDINA metal bookmark. I am about $800-$1000 short, so if you can try to get one for your collection.

I want to thank all of you again for supporting me through this entire journey from BOOK ONE to BOOK EIGHT of The Draconis Project. I couldn't have done any of this without all of your support and pledges towards my campaigns. I hope that I have lived up to your literary expectations, and that you enjoyed reading the quality product that I have printed for you. This has truly been a great journey. 

Now for the GOOD stuff! Here is the MEDINA Kickstarter Exclusive cover that most of you have pledged for. The final colors by Espinoza came out GREAT! Take a look..

Commission Layouts by ALLAN JEFFERSON..

Here are some finished pages from BOOK TWO " The Search Begins".

Here are the interior pages; pencils and inks, from Book Eight.

Here was a glimpse into the final book of The Draconis Project. I wanted to share some pieces of the story and let figure out the rest. I will be offering a 3 PAGE original artwork PACKAGE on BackerKit for $80.00. So if there are any collectors out there that want some original pages, I will have them to give. 

Thank you all again for everything and I look forward to the next big campaign; GROND! 

Sincerely Mike Phillips

I want to thank all of you for supporting my final campiagn for The Draconis Project. This has been a six year journey for this series and it finally comes to an end, or does it. My ultimate goal for every campaign was to reach 100 backers, and I have failed to accomplish that goal. It always amazed me how I came so close to reaching that mark but still missed it. Well there is always GROND. I am hoping to get back on track with that series next year. I am working on getting the issues of Draconis Project into Diamond Previews once it is all printed and complete. I will be sure to post when that great day happens. I am waiting for all of the funds to process to determine how much was collected for the BC charity fund. I am sure I broke the record from last year, thanks to all of you. I will let you know when all is tallied. I will also be using Backerkit for this final campaign for anyone that wants to add any additional Variant covers or Original Sketch cards and Artwork that I will be adding. So please look through the add-ons if you want to get more collectible pieces. Keep an eye out for my updated posts on the Graphic Novel Cover and the Medina Variant Cover to see the final results. I want to thank you all again for your support and I hope you have enjoyed the story as much as I Have enjoyed writing it for you. Talk to you soon, Mike Phillips
