Heya all!
Here are some colour samples pages of the book we received last 2 days ago from the publisher. We were quite aware of the printing outcome especially regarding accurate colours (What we seen on the monitor is vary from printing. It may looks nicer digitally but normally if we do not select the right printer for the products and project, it could turn out disaster). And boy, the colours turn out crispier and nicer than we imagined!
We are now moving onto the packaging design. The process is the same and will be printed together with the book, since those boxes need to be exactly the right size, or else it would be butt ugly.
That’s it for the process update here.
Oh yeah here’s more!
To compensate our delay (we are really really really and truly sorry about that), We’re giving away these 4x A3 gloss-lam posters printed from Momoka’s selected artworks of the book. Will be shipping together with the book and the rest merchandises.
We understand many ‘rage’ cuz’ we weren’t able to deliver on time. But please bear with us, we are perfectionist when comes to deliver products (we refuse to give half-hearted works, it contrast and against our policy and integrity).
P/S: To those that say we are bunch of ‘scammers’, we would like to enlighten you: IF we are indeed one as you claimed, we would be gone long time, untraceable. But why are we still here then? Think about it again.
PP/S: And to say that we are ‘using’ the guest artists, this is one of the most absurd statement we received. The guest artists or contributors that left, were the one that never read and understand our rules and regulation during participation. Some were impatient and still thinking we are self-publish (seriously???). And again, we need to defend our reputation because the personal attack damage and unfair humiliation is affecting us negatively (that explained why we refuse to post in Facebook so that we can prevent negativity and focus to complete the project in high spirit). We don’t do anything harmful to any of these artists that claimed we ‘used’ them. In fact, which is more harmful and absurd? A contributor that trespassed our privacy by snapping our photo during Comic Fiesta (like a stalker) and viral it in her Facebook personal and Fan page saying we ‘purposely’ delayed our products and asked her followers not to buy from us and cancel the purchase; OR willing to let them go since they gave half-hearted works and instead of being positive, we were being lashed out and hit with personal attack. And we don’t go on pursuing the same matter over and over again - which, never happened on the opposite side anyway. We hope these circumstances will shed light about what we were facing months ago.
And some may said we need to tolerate the artists’s behavior since we are the organizer. The answer: No.
Try doing that to the future employer or clients and check if their response is the same as us.
This is definitely not a post to make the counterpart’s image bad or wrong. What we are doing is to shed some light on the things happened to us. And again, we offered our sincerest apologies on the major delay. (We got some news on Snowbunn, our ex-partner in this project. Bumped into her tweets about a day ago. It seems like she had some complicated personal issues which we were not familiar and won’t disclose it here. Momoka had covered her works, so there’s no worries about her part anymore.)
That’s about it. Please do check the estimated timeline of the process for the book which we have mentioned in FAQs .
Note: We will not reply any Ask/PMs that have redundant (and intentional) hurtful and personal attack message. And no matter what, we will not going back to Facebook anymore. Note 2: Guest artists that active or has a Tumblr page are welcome to reblog this post!
Thanks for taking your time to read this lengthy posts!
Best Regards, The A Team (just a little humor here after all the seriousness)
