White Ninja Guy Saga Kickstarter Campaign

Kickstarter Campaign to start in June!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to give a heads up on what's going on in the homefront I like to call Obsidian Studios. Right now as we speak, I am working on a project for our first Kickstarter Campaign. This project is for the next White Ninja Guy comic book coming out in October 2012. We are attempting to raise money to be able to pay for various expenses; the most important of those being printing for the 1000 copy run as well as the special edition 150 copy run of the special edition B&W sketch cover version of White Ninja Guy Saga #1.

We are producing a lot of artwork from various artists for variant covers, and promotional posters and the like for various comic shops. We are looking at a projected goal of $4500. Though the costs are MUCH higher, that being of $8300, the $4500 is much more doable, and the rest will be coming from the income of commissions and original art sales of other artwork. This campaign will be ready to launch by June 1 2012. Along with the Kickstarter campaign, we will be launching the White Ninja Guy Facebook page. This will allow us to be able to find out who the REAL fans of White Ninja Guy are. As a result, this can help us create contests and incentives for those fans. Over on the Obsidian Studios blog, and Facebook page, we will be uploading pictures and video of the White Ninja Guy project and other things to keep you guys up to date with progress.

This is a very exciting time, and we hope that with these avenues of promotion and networking that we can make White Ninja Guy a success. The final endgame will be to get White Ninja Guy Saga #1 into the hands of potential new fans at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco in October. We can make this happen, and so stay tuned! What can you do? Spread the word and tell folks about the project, and if you can donate, please do so! Thank you all so much for your time, and we hope to hear from you soon!


Until next time Moonwatchers!

Changes... For the good!

It has been a minute since I have updated my page. But I felt that it would be a good idea to give a quick low down on what is going on behind the scenes within Obsidian Studios, and what our plans are. So sit down a bit and have a nice read.

I am pleased to announce once again that I will have a table at WonderCon 2011. I will be going as Ian Walker's Obsidian Studios, and will be in the Artists Alley. I decided not to go representing the studio because I wanted to first take a look at the convention scene and know what it is about and what to expect as a future small press vendor the next year. And also with that experience I decided that I wanted to push out only one title right now for exposure so that folks will know who we are. The title that I will be putting out at the convention will be White Ninja Guy.

The #0 issue of White Ninja Guy is out right now and is available for sale. At the convention, I will be selling copies of this for only $1! Real cheap! Along with that, the very first official issue of White Ninja Guy #1 will be released as well. It is the first of a 6 part story arc that I am developing for the character. With that said, I am going to talk about the development of the studio as a whole. I recently just got a full time job, and it has tapped my time and resources to the extreme. I barely have time to do the projects that I am doing now, and I definitely don't have the time to pursue the others. So I have decided that it would be best to simply concentrate only on 2 projects that will be out this year. Those being (tenatively titled) The Seven, and the White Ninja Guy series. After these are done, then I will take the time to work on the other projects that I would like to be able to put quality effort and time into, and do them correctly. There are many stories and ideas that I want to tell, and I will get to them in time. But now, I want to focus on these two and do them right.

So 2011 will be the year for The Seven and the White Ninja Guy, and I can't wait to introduce you all to them very soon. Obsidian Studios writer Ricky Burnett is also on the ticket as the writer of The Seven, and another writer who has not yet been made official will be working on the next Obsidian title once Seven is completed.
As far as the website, and art blog are concerned, I will be working hard to put out new sneak peek information, news and artwork as time goes on to hopefully wet your appetites and anticipation for these titles. We have worked extremely hard to bring you good stories and work, and we plan to deliver. So please continue to bear with us, and support us. We are doing all we can to make our dream of going to WonderCon a reality so anyway that you can support us would be greatly appreciated! Have questions? Please do not hesitate to ask!

So until next time Moonwatchers!
