We just barely reached the funding goal for Anubis: Dog of Death #2 before the campaign ended yesterday. But we made it!
John Barry Ballaran is working on the art for Issue #2. While he’s working on that, I’m going to post monthly updates for the backers on Kickstarter. Not sure yet if these will be publicly available or not. If they include some content that the backers have paid for, I can obviously not post that to everyone. We’ll see what I do there.
There’s now only 24 hours left of the Anubis: Dog of Death #2 Kickstarter campaign, and we are still missing $553 to reach our $4,806 goal. Not impossible, but still a challenge.
In this episode of the Geekare Humanum podcast, Sindre and Renate discuss: Theodor Kittelsen paintings, Anubis: Dog of Death, The Lonely Island, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.

The Kickstarter for Anubis: Dog of Death #2 is in full swing, so I wanted to show off some cool details from what we have of Issue #2 so far. We might as well start off at the very start, with panel one of page one.
After I had written the script for Part One of my Anubis: Dog of Death comic book, I and artist John Barry Ballaran had to agree on several things in the pre-production phase of making the comic, before John could start drawing the pages. One of the things we had to decide upon were how we would utilize speech bubbles for our different characters.
Here’s a leftover frame that we did not end up using for the Reaction GIF that John Barry Ballaran made, based on Anubis from Anubis: Dog of Death.
This is a work-in-progress GIF. It features the different stages John Barry Ballaran took in creating the artwork for the eighteenth page of Anubis: Dog of Death Part One, Anubis Gets Adopted.
