Golden Mask: something pretty to look at!
The Golden Mask is 60% funded. I am hopeful that we will make it, but we've hit the midpoint and things are slowing down a bit. Sunday was our first day without any new backers, so I thought I would share something awesome with you to show you why we are still excited!
One of the things we are offering as incentives are prints of drawings I'm doing especially for this book: Lady Fox and the Golden Mask.
A while back I did two nice little black and white ink drawings. They were small, and I never quite got them how I wanted them, but they were still fabulous. I'm taking this opportunity to redraw them at a standard size.
I only just bit into the drawing tonight, so I wanted to show you what I'm working from, just because I need to get y'all a visual so you understand what's going on here.
So that's what I'm working from. What I'm doing is redrawing them at a larger size, adding the right names to the text areas, and just improving them overall. They will look very very much like these, only better. And the guy will be wearing a regular mask, not a wolf mask. The art is very Beardsley-Nouveau.
I really hate throwing out pictures of something not the actual thing, but I was delayed starting these. I wanted to let y'all get an idea of what I'm working on before we all get down to the wire and you maybe miss out on your chance to grab them. These are going to be beautiful prints, at a standard US size, easy to frame and mat, and if you want the signed and numbered ones y'all are gonna have to get in on it before this is over. There may not be any open edition prints; I may not order more than I need. It depends on what the printer quotes me. More information forthcoming.
So give it some thought. Might be worth it for the art alone, eh?
If you get the package, you get other stuff, too:
Autographed print copy, including website membership, ebook edition, and listing with the contributors. Also included will be a handmade bookmark and quality prints of portraits of the two heroes of the novel - The Golden Mask and Lady Fox - by award-winning illustrator Amanda Gannon.
Actual pictures of the actual incentive prints will follow shortly. The drawing will go quickly (I have the lineart almost completely finished) and I'll hopefully be done with one or both by the end of this week.
I hope you can see why I'm excited about them. They are going to be really cool.
So visit us and secure your prints if you want 'em! And if you know anyone who likes erotica and likes Art Nouveau and Beardsley and Will Bradley, maybe kick them our way.
Love you all! (And I hope those of you who have reserved prints are enjoying the sneak peek!)
