So I just landed my first gig in the gaming industry....?

I thought... well, I am happy. I’m unbelievably happy. But I’m also scared. Why? It’s a contract position for only a few months. A few months of stretching my creative muscles for a purpose, not just for doodling whatever. I’m scared that when my contract ends I’m going to be in exactly the same place I was yesterday. I’m excited to be among other artists, working my ass off every day, rolling with the punches and doing... my dream. But studios are *so* far and few between outside cali. I don’t have the money to move to a new place in an expensive town in a state I don’t know for another short gig- that is if I can even get a gig anywhere near the timing of the end of this. 

I’m just. so worried about the future because I have nothing.

God I havent drawn anything in weeks *cries*

I hope you’re ready, adventurers! TODAY IS THE DAY! We are now LIVE on Kickstarter!

We are a team of 65 artists from around the world who have spent the last few months creating a collection of 81 pages of original fantasy artwork for you to enjoy. Our book will be 8.5″x11″ and in glorious full color to show off the fantastical digital and traditional illustrations we’ve made. But enough talk, let’s check out some previews of the artwork!

In addition to the book itself, our artists have designed other wonderful goodies that you can receive depending on your pledge. Let’s take a look!

Starting at just $1 you can get some of these awesome rewards. The book itself is just $25, but take a look at all of our tiers to see if there’s a combination of rewards that you would like to have!

That’s right! YOU could be featured on the first page of our book as a fantasy adventurer! We only have 5 slots available for that reward so act fast! Our Paladin tier that offers a piece of original traditional art is also limited- 15 backers only- Though all of our other rewards have no limit to how many can back them.

And of course no Kickstarter would be complete without stretch goals! At 15,500, 20,000, and 23,000 we have goals set up that will be available for free for all shipped purchases. They appear in order here:

If you like what you see, please consider supporting us! Our campaign is running for 45 days, which is a couple weeks longer than most Kickstarter campaigns, so you have plenty of time to decide what awesome goods you want- the prints, the charms, or maybe all of it!

Preview of a piece for @a-destiny-forged zine! I saw a post on tumblr that just said “big buff orc girls. reblog if you agree.” I agreed so hard I had to draw it.

[mainframe-art]

So y’know THIS big hunk of woman? She’s gonna be in the A Destiny Forged art book, along with some other huge orc babes ;) 

You can get the PDF for just $10 (That’s 75 illustrations! That’s each illustration for a fraction of a cent!) OR if you wanna be able to run your fingers down glossy printed pages you could get the book for just $25. We also have loads of other extras you can get if you’re just *that* thirsty for fantasy art.

That thing that kickstarter does when the campaign number goes shooting upwards super fast whenever someone pledges = the best thing in the world right now

Friends and fans of A Destiny Forged who are unable to pledge because Kickstarter is dumb:

We have a solution for you so you can still pledge and reap the same rewards as Kickstarter backers! Send us a note or shoot us an email at [email protected] to find out how!

[Note: This is a way to pledge without the use of a credit card for those in countries who don’t use them or their cards are blocked by Kickstarter. The prices and shipping amounts are still the same]

ITS TOMORROW!!! AAAAAAAAA

If just 15% of my followers bought just the book ($25) we would be at 80% of our goal. If every single one of my followers (assuming there are no bots) pledged just $1, that would be 23% of our goal. 

If you could muster just ONE dollar that would help us greatly. Our team of artists has worked so hard to bring you all the best of the best illustrations.

What do you get if you pledge a dollar? Your name in the thank you section as well as a beautiful wallpaper painted by the talented @nathalaen, take a peek:

There are also goodies you can get for $5, and you get the PDF of the full book for $10!

If you love fantasy, please consider supporting us when our kickstarter goes live in a few days!

Just 2 DAYS left until the campaign for the A Destiny Forged art zine launches!

Who are we?

We’re a team of 65 artists who love the fantasy genre and have created over 75 unique and original works of art that will be printed in this zine/art book. We have worked hard over the past few months to bring you the best of the best digital and traditional illustrations. The book itself is 8.5″x11″, full color, and perfect bound with a soft cover.

The book itself is only $25 USD, with a portion of the shipping costs already covered by the base goal of $10,500, to ensure that our backers- domestic and international- pay only the minimum needed to cover shipping and production, to get our books into as many hands as we possibly can.

Check out our extras that we’re offering along side the book! Starting at a $5 pledge you can bring home these goodies designed by our artists!

And no Kickstarter campaign would be complete without STRETCH GOALS! Check out all of our stretch goals that, if unlocked before the campaign ends, will be available for free to all shipped orders!

So visit us on Kickstarter after Saturday, August 18th for a fantasy adventure you’ll never forget!
