That drawing was not the original idea. Yet when Bob sent a folder of art it was pretty obvious this was the #1 choice for the cover.
I wasn't sure how to present it on the cover either as the cover will be a dark color and the art will be light.
I realized that if we put a frame around it, it will work out perfectly. The dark areas will remain dark and the light areas will pop out.
I just got Aldarron's edit proof back after our proof editor reviewed everything. Now that we have a final proof in hand and also all the art and maps for the module, it just needs layout and printing.
We are a small company. Most of what we do has been leveraged off of other business ventures. I do not have exact numbers, but most of the Secrets of Blackmoor film project was leveraged off of our own personal investment. Lets say this is about $100,000.00 Most small indy films run between 100- 500k. They are a huge risk for the film makers and most film makers will also be drawing on favors from friends and family. By the end of it all these self made films end up in someone's closet and maybe their mom uses a magnet to pin the DVD to her fridge. That's as far as these films go. The directors end up in ruins and disappear.
Secrets of Blackmoor isn't anywhere near disappearing. But we are a tiny crew.
Chris is loaded down with doing online live streaming web pages for sales. A new sales page for the schwag. And also we need to author 2 DVD's with menus.
As soon as we get through the movie release bottleneck Chris will apply himself to laying out Tonisborg. It is hard to say how quickly this will happen. All I can say is that we make things happen even if it takes a while.
