530 members of the Fellowship, 530 patrons of the Arts, 530 supporters of great projects, 530 book readers, drawers, illustrators, fantasy art lovers, Kickstarter addicts, anonymous heroes, artbook collectors... 530 THANK YOU!

We still have one week for a final sprint. One week to unlock as many stretch goals as we can. One week for you to spread the word in every realm and tavern that we cannot reach.

 

"I just want to say "thank you" to all who supports our project. Without all of you we could not be who we are. If people like what we do, we know it is worth time and efforts spent, means we are on the right way. So, thank you again, guys. Спасибо, и желаю вам всегда заниматься тем, что делает вас счастливыми." Rostyslav Zagornov [Attemme]

"Thank you!" Andrei Riabovitchev

 

How is this even possible??! You've unlock the 8th stretch goal over the weekend! Probably with the sneaky help of some dark elves from below… But fair enough, we’ll keep our word and include for free the Digital Sketchbook to all backers at Level 5 (Dragon Knight) and up.

This sketchbook will feature behind-the-scene sketches about some of the most beautiful illustrations in the artbook. If you’re a fantasy art fan or drawer, you’re going to love this exclusive access to the backstage of our fantasy art world tour.

 

 

And because you guys are unstoppable, you’ve also unlocked the first social stretch goal with 112 mentions of the hashtag #EclosionFantasy. Congratulations and thank you! 3 new illustrated pages will now be added to the artbook. Blibbering Humdinger and Crumple-Horned Snorkack are very happy :)

As some of you requested in the comments, here is how social stretch goals work: in order to unlock the second social stretch goal, every time you share the project on Facebook or Twitter, just add the hashtag #EclosionFantasy. If we hit 200 mentions of this hashtag we will offer you 3 illustrated pages in the artbook and a free pack of HD wallpapers for your desktop. We might also unlock new additional stretch goals for the final countdown.

 

 

 

We hope you’ve liked our previous update showing you how we intend to turn the ‘Artbook’, ‘Prints Set’ and ‘Portfolio’ into beautiful artefacts with our premium partner in Paris. Don’t hesitate to visit our Kickstarter page during the last week of the campaign, as we’ll be updating it regularly for a final push:

Special Update on Production Design
over 9 years ago – Sat, Dec 10, 2016 at 10:48:41 PM

Hello members of the Fellowship,

As requested by some of you, please see below some additional information concerning our product design for the Artbook, Prints Set and Portfolio. We’re quite proud to share these very positive news with you and hope you’ll be as excited as we are!

First big news: we’ll be printing with manufacturer ‘Frazier’ in Paris, France. Frazier are one of the most deluxe printers in Europe. They work with high-end clients such as L’Oréal, Dior, Cartier and Chanel, as well as famous international photographers and artists. We still can’t believe how lucky we are to work with such a premium partner. We’ll be able to turn our dream into reality and create for you a truly unique set of products (artbook + prints set + portfolio).

Frazier’s factory is located near our office, so we’ll have direct control over edition and production at every step of the process. They have the best machines to print this artbook at high quality level with a dedicated support team and technicians. They also follow strict environmental processes (AFAQ, ISO 14001, FSC, PEFC) to minimize our carbon footprint.

Second big news: the prints will be 22cm x 27cm and the paper quality will be 300gr gloss coated with a little white mount. This is one of the most premium paper quality that you can find in the market for this type of product. We’re simply thrilled. 

The 6 prints available so far in the Prints Set will be included in the artbook through a folder embedded in the 3rd cover. You will have the possibility (next week) to collectively choose these 6 prints from a first selection from our team. Choose wisely! ;)

The premium prints included in the Prints Set and Portfolio will simply be perfect for framing, to enlighten your home or office. They’ll be gorgeous pieces of art.

Third big news: for the Portfolio, we had many options and the best we found is a beautiful personalized box with three parts and double lower part that enhances the packaging of the prints. The box will be the same size as the artbook and will include the 40 deluxe prints with a custom ribbon to consult them with delicacy.

The cover of the box will feature one of the artists’ illustration with the mention “Visions of a Thousand Eyes - Premium Prints Compendium”.

Please give us a Like or comment if you’re as excited as we are about these product design developments!

Thanks again for your support to turn this fantasy art dream into reality.

Have a great week-end,

Delphin and the Team

Almost 440 members in the Fellowship! Here's a little bit how we feel today thanks to all of you:

"Merci à tous, et surtout: Lisez!" Marc Simonetti

"Thank you so much for backing this amazing book. Most of these artists, as I, are thriving still to become the best we can because the road is never over, and I think I speak for most of them when I say that we are very humbled and grateful to become part of this amazing book and that we hope you enjoy the images we present you here." Felipe Escobar [Fesbra]

"Serva me, servabo te." Chris Cold

Swift as a deer. Quiet as shadow. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Quick as a snake. Calm as still water. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Strong as a bear. Fierce as a wolverine. Fear cuts deeper than swords. The man who fears losing has already lost. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Fear cuts deeper than swords. Two more stretch goals are unlocked! Congratulation to all of you. 

We will launch a survey in the coming days for you to collectivelly choose the 6 prints you want to see in the Prints Set.

Now an assembly of gnomes decided that the next stretch goal is +5 illustrated pages in the artbook. Let's unlock it together! (click here to share the project on your Facebook page)

If you want to support and get PSD files and videos from the artists, you can check their Patreon pages: Cobaltplasma, Andreas Rocha, WLOP or Bastien Grivet.

Sunshine and Peace,

Visions of a Thousand Eyes (day 05/34)
over 9 years ago – Thu, Dec 08, 2016 at 09:17:02 PM

With 250+ members in the Fellowship, royal ambassadors and secret emissaries come to pledge allegiance from the four corners of the magic land. Today we would like to warmly thank our amazing 21 Legendary Dragonslayers.  

Together we reached our initial goal in four days! Let's unlock stretch goals now :)

 "Les univers fantastiques ont bercé mon enfance et m'ont inspiré dans la vie. En effet je dessine depuis que je suis petit et je n'ai lâché mon crayon que pour le troquer contre un stylet ! Nourri de ma passion pour ces univers et d'un travail acharné, j'en ai fait mon métier. Aujourd'hui on me propose de faire partie de cet artbook, c'est une nouvelle étape dans mon voyage. Je tiens donc à remercier les gens qui ont contribué à ce bouquin et je suis heureux ainsi de pouvoir partagé ce que je fait. Merci." Geraud Soulie [Operion]

"I guess everyone understand that support is one of the most important and kind thing in our life. So I just want to say Thank you! for kind words and useful advice. Stay cool, guys." Max Bedulenko [MB14]

Now that the minimum funding goal is reached, additional illustrated pages are coming!

We also added (thanks to backers feedback) some community achievements to be unlocked. Everytime you share the project with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or any other social media, you can use the hashtag #EclosionFantasy to blast off the counter!

Do you know that we have a Facebook page for the project? There are already 650+ followers on Visions of a Thousand Eyes. You will find more amazing fantasy-themed illustrations. 

Have a great Sunday, 

Delphin and the Team
