Hello Awesome Backers:
I apologize for not updating you more frequently, but I wanted to have positive news to share before I did.
The best way to say it, is just to say it. I have had to let the artist, Elisabeth Mkheidze, go. Though I loved her work and thought she captured BMS wonderfully, she missed multiple deadlines over the past year and ghosted me for months. I had to make the hard decision to move on. This was the first time I had to fire an artist and it broke my heart, but it was time. I wish her the best.
After months of searching, I hired Daniela (Dany) Rivera to complete issues three and four of Pikes Peak. Dany has been on my radar for a while, but when I saw her submission to the Mad Cave competition, I knew she would be right for BMS. Dany officially started working on Nov.4 and has already turned in the roughs for pages 1-9. She anticipates having issue three completed by the end of the year (give or take a week). I am keeping Kaytee on as the colorist to maintain consistency in the look and feel of story.
I have two variant covers already done with art by Yishan Li and Gwynn Tavares. (Yes, I was able to lure her back briefly.) I will share those later.
My plan is have issue three completed, and issue four off to be lettered, before running another Kickstarter campaign to finish off the story arc. Right now, I'm looking at early Spring 2025.
I want to thank you for your patience. I will keep you posted on our progress.
Best, Madeleine
