Yes, Jane has kids.

 

Thanks everyone for answering all those polls I put up. It's been very insightful and your ideas have been great.

Topwebcomics is my main referral for new readers and those referrals double when I'm at #1. It would be awesome if we could pull off getting NAV at #1 for all of October. I'll post up new incentives each update, but October starts tomorrow, on a Saturday, when most people aren't thinking of NAV. Yet, voting heavily at the beginning of the month creates a better chance to stay at #1.

If you happen to come by tomorrow, I'll have a new incentive up. It's an earlier version of this page and I'll explain why I made the changes I did. And I'll put up another incentive on Monday (all old incentives can be found in the AneekaChannel).

EDIT: Monday's incentive is up! See what the poor tree thinks!

Thanks everyone! Kickstarter for Book 4 launches on Oct 4th; see you then!

This might have affected this scene.

 

I would love to grow the readership of NAV and the upcoming Kickstarter is often a good time to try spreading the word about my webcomic. I usually rely on ads (cause I'm good at those) but I've been trying to come up with new ideas. I know everyone touts social media but I'm just awful at it.

However, I would love to encourage YOU to use your social media for NAV and was thinking of some ways to incentivize that. I would love your input on what digital rewards you'd love to see offered! Just fill out this poll. Thanks!

Saturday Sketch – Sept 24, 2016

No Comments on Saturday Sketch – Sept 24, 2016

I think I've mentioned it before, but I really enjoy drawing Danni. So we might see her a lot... haha!

There's a scene I want to do where Danni will try to teach Kat a few dancing tricks. It's super cute in my head but it will take foreeeever until we actually reach that point in the story (and assuming it will fit in the story's pacing and not feel like a random side story). So, I took the liberty to draw a quick scene of it just for fun.

Run, tree! Oh, wait...

 

If you were a watcher, this might be what you'd be seeing instead.

Results From Previous Poll

Kat and D, Sanity, Just D, and the Binary (non-spiral) are a solid go. Yay! However, I'll only offer two T-shirts at first. If the campaign overfunds, I will offer the other two. If the campaign goes really well, I might be willing to gamble and offer the last two (if all the "maybes" turned into "yes", then I'd have more than enough).

The Mug with the Hint is also a go! Yay!! I'm super excited about that one. However, I probably won't offer it during the initial campaign but wait for a stretch goal. This is because during a Kickstarter campaign, if the initial amount isn't raised by the deadline, then it gets cancelled and no money is transferred. Offering the mug at the beginning of the campaign will mean I'd need more money (to print the mug as well as the book). I already need $10,000 to print Volume 4 and the two t-shirts and that's a really high number as it is. I'd like to make sure we reach that number first before asking for more money to print the mugs.

So, let's make sure we can make it! The campaign is set to launch Oct 4th! Less than 2 weeks! And six days before NAV turns 6 😀

Another Poll

I had some fans ask if I could offer custom skins of D (or D and Kat) for phones instead of the cases. I looked into that and it looks possible, probably in the $30 range. The coolest part is that if I did the skins, the vendor I'd go with could also allow me to offer cases for around $60! These will not be 1-fit-all skins/cases, but custom made to fit whatever kind of phone you have.

Here's a quick follow up poll to see if anyone is interested in that (it would also be a stretch goal)


Thank you!

Patreon Goal reached

No Comments on Patreon Goal reached

Hey all! My patreon account reached the $300 milestone and I had promised I would upload a sketch from my (digital) sketchbook every Saturday.To start off, here's a sketch of Danni and Kat while they navigate the Chaos Mists. I really like how Kat's expression came out, as well as her body language. Not so pleased with Danni, but oh well. That is what practice is for!

Also, I'll take requests. If there's a sketch you'd like to see, post it in the comments. If it sounds fun to do, I'll draw it!

Thanks everyone!

Kickstarter to Launch in October!

2 Comments on Kickstarter to Launch in October!

To raise funds for NAV 4, I'll be launching a Kickstarter in about two weeks. And because you are all so awesome, I will be giving extra rewards to my Patreon/AneekaChannel patrons who participate in my upcoming Kickstarter! (This will be a manual process; Kickstarter won't do this on its own. If you want any of these rewards, you'll need to message me and let me know. If you don't want any, then don't do anything and you'll be fine!)

$1+ Patrons: A post (and/or mass email) to alert you the instant my Kickstarter has gone live. I will have several limited awards so this your best chance to get them first. Also, a free wallpaper (and a bookmark from that wallpaper if you order a physical reward). I'll send out a poll as to what to exhibit on said bookmark/wallpaper and then ship it out with your reward(s).

$3+ Patrons: All the above plus if you sign up for just the book, I'll upgrade it to a signed one for free. If you sign up for a signed book, I'll upgrade it to a sketched and numbered one for free.

$5+ Patrons: All of the above plus shipping is free, including internationals! Kickstarter won’t do this automatically; you’ll have to email me and I’ll tell you the work-around.

$10+ Patrons: All of the above plus you can choose to get a free signed, numbered, and sketched book (or an extra one if you're already pledging for one) OR you can get a second item (ie: a tshirt or poster) for free.

$20+ Patrons: All of the above plus custom5X7 colored art of your choice (some restrictions apply; email me for clarifications) OR a custom merchandise from existing art (ie: pick art from any page of the webcomic (or poster) and I’ll put it on a shirt/poster/etc just for you!)

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks everyone!
