Hey all!
Checking in to share with you another piece of production! As with our last update, this time we get another sneak peak behind the curtain from our designer, STK Kreations!
The full jacket design! Still technically a WIP but mostly done!
Take a look - above is the design for the dust jacket! There may be a few minor tweaks here and there, but for the most part, this is the completed design! The colors look so gooood! And we've got one more design element to share with you guys...
Name a better color palette, we'll wait.
Ta-daaa! The art above will be used for the case design for this book! With both of these design elements out of the way, we're one step closer to the end of production!
Stay tuned for the next one!
A Look Inside! And an update on shipping!

Hey there folks!
Hope you all are well! We just wanted to take a second to update you guys on some new art inside the book! Take a look!
Everyone 'oooh' and 'ahhh'!
STK Kreations knocks another one outta the park! He was kind enough to take a break to share a bit of the design process - a nice little sneak peek at the chapter headers!
That's all for now, folks! Heather signing off - handing it over to Bryce!
An update on shipping.
Hey all, Bryce here! We're moving forward and design elements and final production processes, but we also wanted to let you know that a delay in shipping is very likely at this point, and you have our apologies for that. Now that we're back on the train, however, we are putting in a lot of changes in place to minimize the likelihood of this ever happening again! That hack followed by the delay due to the quality testing really took some wind out of our sails.
Thank you for your patience, and talk soon!
-Bryce

Hey there folks!
We wanted to take a moment to let you all know that everything on this project is going smoothly and we're proceeding as normal! Sometimes updates like this one are necessary as book production can be a long endeavor - on occasion, there just isn't anything to report. Given the excitement earlier in the year regarding our printer and delays to other campaigns, no news is good news in this instance.
As always, if you folks ever have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below or send us a ticket to [email protected] and we'll help you out! :)
A look at some of the interior art...

Hey Everyone!
We have a quick update for y'all today. While our designer Shawn works on getting the interior of the book done, we thought we'd share some of the interior art pieces by Joshua Raphael and Dive Eight Studio!
A Quick Introduction...

Hi Everyone!
While we're waiting on further updates regarding production, we wanted to take a moment to do a quick intro. While interacting with us here on Kickstarter or via our support email, the majority of the time, you'll be chatting with two people!
Hi! I'm Eira (pronounced like Ira)
I am in charge of coordinating the campaigns and fulfillment for nearly everything Wraithmarked does. I came to Wraithmarked close to 2 years ago after spending more than a decade as your friendly neighborhood IT gal. Most days, I can scarcely believe it's real. But here I am, with all you fine people, eagerly waiting to get my hands on this and every book we make. :)
A couple of quick things about me. I'm a sci-fi/horror author, a published tabletop RPG developer, and sometime musician. When I'm not being a total dork, I collect bumps and bruises by skating with a local roller derby team under the name 'Tryst Issues'.
Hey there! I'm Heather!
In addition to helping out my benevolent overlor- Eira, I'm also head of the Wildcrown brand! You'll likely talk to me if you send us a support message here on Kickstarter or via email. I also help with coordinating our Kickstarter campaigns and fulfillment, and in between all of that, I also design our enamel pins! Being able to work creatively has been such a blessing - I love what I do. <3
Within Wraithmarked and Wildcrown, I'm a bit of a nerd. Outside of Wraithmarked and Wildcrown... also a nerd. I have my own illustration business which allows me to travel to different conventions and meet some truly fantastic con-goers and fellow artists alike! I build Zoids model kits, play too many video games, collect trinkets, and dote on my cats, Soren, Taro, and Edgar.
Here we have Soren, who was a croissant in his past life...
Okay, back to Wraithmarked...
We bring all this up to let you all know that when you interact with us, you're talking to real people who have been involved with the creative process from start to finish. It's super important that your experience with us is a good one. While we can't promise completely smooth sailing— manufacturing and distribution are tricky businesses— we will do our best to keep y'all informed as the process progresses.
That's all for today! Just wanted to stop by, give y'all a peek behind the curtain, and say hello! Thanks again for supporting what we do here at Wraithmarked!
