World of Eragon - Collectible Saphira Statue

New Add-On! Traditional watercolors of Saphira. Every one a unique art piece!

Hey all! Bryce here!

As promised, Wraithmarked is working hard on adding cool content to the campaign to help us reach that $1mil final Stretch Goal and that bust! As I've said before, my two criteria for adding things last minute like this had to be that add-ons are still top-quality despite being added late and produced by artists that we trust to fulfill.

So with that in mind, I'm super pleased to announce our most recent new addition that Christopher and I are both thrilled about! One-of-a-kind paintings of Saphira by Daniel Govar.

THE PAINTINGS

Wraithmarked has worked with Daniel on many projects over the years, with stupendous results every time! He's upped the ante on these Saphira illustrations however! Each illustration:

• is a unique hand-painted black-and-white watercolors of Saphira.
• measure 7"x10" (~17.8x26cm).
• uses India Ink on hot press 100% cotton Arches Paper.
• detailed in gold mica paint, meaning it actually shines as well as foil!

To be very clear, no two of these illustration are alike, and these are not scans. These are traditional paintings that Daniel Govar will be hand-creating likely every work day for the next year in preparation for fulfillment towards the end of 2025 if we're lucky!

This add-on is limited to 500 paintings. Any more than that and Daniel is likely to have to push deliver well into the future. They are priced at $250+s/h ($5 US / $10 non-US), and any slots we have leftover will likely increase in price post-campaign.

This is a unique opportunity to own official traditional WORLD OF ERAGON art, as approved my Christopher Paolini himself! We hope many of you will be excited to hear about this add on, and that those who can will take advantage of it! 

PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, these paintings cannot be customized to requests. That would complicate things immensely, resulting in a much higher price point, so sorry 😞

Also, as always, please don't break your wallets! We understand that $250 is a lot of money, so please per certain you are comfortable making the purchase before doing so!

PS: Just a reminder that we have 50 new slots open now for a hand-painted minature! Pricing has increased slightly to $1350, but they are available if anyone missed out on the first round!

750k+!!! Also a note about busts, and a project we wanted to shout out!

Hey yall! Bryce here! It's a holiday in the US, so I'm the only one online today! Meaning today... I HAVE ALL THE POWER, MWAHAHAHA.

THE BUST

Lol. Anyways, we cracked $750k USD over the weekend!! HOLY COW PEOPLE! Growth has certain slowed now, but that's very normal for Kickstarter projects, and even then our day-to-day is INCREDIBLE.

On that note, we are well on the way to 1mil, and I have two things I wanted to let people know about the armored busts in case we do manage to get there!

• First, while I had commented that we are going to try to make the busts $40+s/h if we could, unfortunately they are likely to be $50 or $60+s/h, I'm sorry 😣 The tooling quotes for the injection molds are way more than we expected because of the intricacy of the armor, making her more expensive than we anticipated to produce. 
  
  We're also gambling on her cost as is, since we will need 2000 orders of the bust to break even...
   
• Second, I wanted to ensure people that if we manage to crack 1mil in the last possible minute, we will ensure you have a clear and easy chance to purchase the armored bust (or a pair) during the survey post-campaign. 
  
  Those of you familiar with Kickstarter know that there is often a big rush of funds at the end of a campaign, and I didn't want anyone heartbroken if we carck 1mil the last day and they think they "miss" the chance to add the bust.

Let me know if you have any questions below!
