Final Update Osrynn West 1&2

Hello from Osrynn!
The last 18 months have been hectic, between getting hired as the artist for a fantasy western serial, from my work on these short stories in Osrynn West, to inking work in other comics, to working on the next Osrynn project...
While I was organizing the new campaign, it was brought to my attention that I forgot to fill out the back end fulfillment information for Osrynn West 1&2. I hope that everyone received their books last summer (the updates posted here have me shipping out in and around July 2023)
IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE YOUR COMICS - Please reachout, I will replace the order as soon as possible. I use Ka-Blam for my printing, and I run my campaigns as print on demand, so any physical orders that need to be replaced, may take time to be produced as I currently only have a handful of extras I bought for my own collection.
Now onto the fun stuff!
Osrynn Tales, the first to be conceived, the last to be Kickstarted is nearly finished. As of typing this, I have 4 pages left to draw and about 10 or so left to color on top of those 4... so a little over 60% done with the Osrynn Tales issue 1!!
Osrynn is a fantasy world that I started building over a decade ago with friends around the D&D table. I knew I wanted to tell stories (at that time I was a film student) and in those games I created characters that went on adventures; adventures that seemed to only last a few months to a few years of those characters lives, and I wanted more.
When I transferred from film to art I started writing stories in my tabletop setting using the characters I felt had more to say, and one of those stories was my senior project, The Osrynn Tales Obligatory Questing. The story of Fonkin (a gnome tinkerer) and Mylos (human swordsman) taking on a quest to save some merchants from a goblin camp in order to pay their rent.
Like many artists, I wasn't happy with my art back then ...here's page 1 from my first ever Osrynn Comic circa 2017
I took on Osrynn West and Osrynn Noir as projects to hone my skill as an artist, to get my art up to the level of images I saw in my head, so that when I sat down to tell the full story of these characters, I could do it in imagery that I was proud of.
And here we are with page 1 of the Osrynn Tales (no subtitle because this is the big time!!)
I hope the cartoony fun vibe is still there, just more refined and "comfortable" feeling than when I was doing my senior portfolio at LHU.
Thank you all for helping me get here. And again, please reach out if for some reason you didn't get your orders from Osrynn West 1&2.

Thanks to a comment on the last update it was brought to my attention that in the chaos of the orders being delayed and starting a few projects at the start of the year... i never linked the digital comics.
But here they are now!
Enjoy! And again, from here on out all my projects will be completely done before I run a kickstarter... some of the delays got compounded as I was short two pages, and that just made things all sorts of messed up on the back end. My goal is to avoid this kind of shipping delay in the future!

SHIPPING WILL START SOON!!!

Sorry for the Radio Silence everyone!
I have been busy Inking pages for Mick Beyers' Dream of Mars Series and i just started to draw an issue of a comic for Jeff Schiller set in the MAGIC POWDER universe! Go Support his Campaign that ends on monday at 3pm EST! (The comic i am doing is set in the same universe as this series, just 100s of years earlier, so support another Cool Jeff, and prep yourself for the series I am working on!)
But Finally all the books are here, all the print outs are here, and I can start shipping stuff out!! My goal is to get every thing packed up this weekend so I can start shipping monday/tuesday.
Again, my sincerest apologies for the delay in shipping. And as this is only my 3rd campaign, I am still learning the ropes on hoe to get the back end project work flow to go smoother.
Full honesty: I desperately long for the days when i can afford a project manager to aid in running and Fulfilling KS Campaigns... I will be honest, I am a creative thinker, be organized, promoting my projects, staying on top of clerical stuff, its all very VERY difficult for me. I am trying my best to learn and perform in those areas to the best of my ability, but I realize that as a function of business, it would be better for me to focus my energy on writing and drawing and creating cool stuff, rather than doing all the managing stuff... but that will come in time. (Also if you wanna be my business manager and work on a percentage... let's talk lmfao)
I hope you are all doing well! Please go follow Mick and Jeff as my next projects will be coming out through their profiles here on KS. I am also slowly writing the next Osrynn WEST anthology of stories, I am working on a new Osrynn NOIR graphic novel, and I am on my final revision of a 10-issue comic for the series that technically started this whole Osrynn train, but ironically is the last of my original series to debut on KS!
Writing takes me forever, but thats why i am front loading 11 projects... so once those scripts are done I wont have to worry about writing for a bit lmfao!
Have a good summer!
Jeff
