Hi everyone!

Finally it's time for us,  abluedeer and I (  shana ) to offer you a very exclusive and interesting chance to take part and help us make a reality a quite big project. This will be an artbook project of 48 pages in full color and possibly more, filled with illustrations, sketches, WIP's and profiles of characters of the community and some of our own. It wil be a very enjoyable item for everyone who likes attractive girls, both furry and human, and also love the fantasy stuff such as fairies, demons, sorceresses, amazones, nymphs, angels, etc. Also, as long as we can relate it to a fantasy scene, we are wiling to include tasteful nudity and "fantasy lingerie" so to speak. That means that you'll be able to see your character show off a little more if you like. Also we can take the theme just like if it were a cosplay festival. In case your character doesn't really belong to the fantasy world, it will be just like if your character put on a costume for a photo session. In general this means that mature pictures will be included.

As maybe some of you are aware, we already have an artbook called “Winding Silhouettes” (which is on sale in here ), that we finished past year and that happily seemed to be of the liking of the community. So we wanted to continue with this wonderful idea and give our faithful followers a new chance to be a part of another big project with us. Only this time the project is more ambitious and interesting than the previous and we’re applying all that we learned from the past experience.

The new artbook will be called "Winding Silhouettes: Rose, Dagger and Lace" with the general subject of fantasy stuff. It will be a 48 page artbook in full color with lots of new surprises in it! The theme of this artbook will be of sexy fantasy girls in exotic poses, clothing and sceneries done by  abluedeer and  shana .

But that's not all! This time we'll be including a bigger number of characters from the community in the arbook and all the characters, including our own, will have a written profile included, so everyone will get to know better the girls that will pose for this artbook.

And even more. We'll include selected sketches from all the material that will be generated in the creation of the illustrations. And maybe even a series of pictures to show the progress of one or two pictures of the artbook, from the sketch to the fully colored picture. There will be a lot of extra material to include!

But to get this project moving we need a bit of funding to be able to work with it. That means, we need to collect enough money to pay for the work and materials needed to create the artbook. I will explain it with more care so you understand a bit better what all of this is about.

PROJECT STATS
Goal: $4200
We’re at:

100%
----------------------------------------------------



Deadline: April 20th, 2014
Contributors: 30
Total so far: $4430/$4200

These stats will be updated once a day, so if you don’t see your contribution displayed immediately, don’t worry, once its updated you’ll see it along with the contributions of other people that support the project on the same day.

WHAT IS THE MONEY FOR.
This project needs a certain amount of money, mostly to cover expenses for the time that will be invested in each very detailed and fully colored picture. We're considering between two to three months worth of money to pay for the work, for both ABD and I, that's why the goal was set so high. But that also means a lof of time and detail put into each picture and extra quality control at the final stage.

We will also cover gifts for our sponsors and all the physical material needed with it along with shipments and such, so the whole idea is to ultimately bring to life this book filled with very high quality art for you!

FUNDING SYSTEM WE’LL BE USING
We’ll be using a funding all-or-nothing system. In this system we set a monetary goal with a time deadline to get the total. The idea is that everyone that’s interested in seeing this project for real will only have to give a part of the total amount of money and with the contribution of many members of the community we’ll reach the goal in time. And of course we’ll reward the trust of all of our sponsors accordingly by offering exclusive content that won’t be available for anyone else such as the digital version of all the artbook that won’t be for sale, wallpaper versions of images of the artbook and free skethces of one character of each sponsor that helps us bring this project to life. Even the smallest sponsors will have a free sketch included in their category!

WHEN THE DEADLINE IS OVER…
If the complete money goal is reached, then the project is funded and it is set in motion to work in it right away, and all the people that offered money will be charged. After the payment is done we, the artists, set an approximate time of when the project will be finished and then you’ll receive what you bought along with your rewards.

But if the money goal is not completely acquired, then the project gets canceled and no one will be charged for it, so in the worst case you won’t lose a cent.

WHAT DO I GET BY FUNDING??

I know you are all wondering “Well, and what do I win by funding your project before even seeing it completed??” right?? Well, we are giving our dear sponsors (you, lovely people) exclusive images that won’t be obtainable in any other way, special lower prices to obtain this artbook in its 2 versions, autographed copies of the book and even the chance to see your character making an appearance in the artbook! All the rewards are organized in categories according to the amount of funds offered by each sponsor, so the more you give, the more exclusive deals you’ll get. You can also offer a little bit extra to help us get the needed amount together. The rewards will only be available to people that support this project in the funding phase. After the deadline is over, the exclusive rewards won’t be available anymore!

SO THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET A WONDERFUL ARTBOOK WITH 48 PAGES FULL OF COLOR IMAGES, SKETCHES, INFORMATION, BIOGRAPHIES AND MUCH MORE FOR A VERY LOW PRICE!!!

HOW DO I SPONSOR YOUR PROJECT?

We’ll be publishing 5 categories of rewards according to the amount of money you can help us with in a sort of prize ladder. Even the lowest category includes the complete digital version of the artbook that won’t be obtainable in any other way. You just have to consider how much you’ll be able to pay in case the funding is a success and enter in the respective category listed below. You're encouraged to pay a little bit more from the minimum, so we can get to the goal faster, if you're convinced the project is worth it.

I SEE THE FUNDING IS AT 100%, CAN I STILL RESERVE A SPOT???

Of course you can! Even when the money goal funding is at 100% you can reserve a spot under the categories that still have free spots, the important thing is that the time deadline is still open. Once the time is up, then sadly you won’t be able to reserve a spot anymore.

OOPS! I HAD A SITUATION AND I NEED TO CANCEL, WHAT CAN I DO???

Don’t worry, if by any chance you have a complicated circumstance which involves the fact of you needing the funds you offer to get out of your problem, you can always cancel your spot and contribution to this project. You will have until one week prior to the deadline to cancel your spot without any kind of problem.

After that, please try not to cancel your spot, because being so close to the deadline and having cancelations at the last minute can make the funding account and project logistic complicated. Thanks for your comprehension on this matter!

So, if you want to cancel your spot, just send a note to  shana with the following format:

*Subject of the note: “SPOT CANCELATION”
*Which category you had your offer in, so I can remove your name from the proper list
*A light explanation of the reason why you are cancelling the spot. This part is optional, because sometimes, the reasons are too personal to share.


AAAWWWW…. I COULDN’T GET A SPOT WITH THE PRINTED ARTBOOKS. CAN I GET ONE IN THE FUTURE??

Of course!! Don’t worry, this artbook will be available in the Rabbit Valley store from the moment its released for public sale! So you can always buy one in the future if you have the economical possibility.

One important thing though, have in mind that the digital version of this artbook won’t be available for sale for some months after the deadline is closed, and the exclusive chibi wallpaper wont be available never again after the funding phase is over, so I would recommend that if you couldn’t catch the printed version, at least hit for the digital one with the wallpaper if you wish to have the complete bundle in the near future!

We hope that after reading all this information, this project inspires you, and that with your support we can bring it to life working all together!
