Hello everyone!

We're very excited to finally announce the Aikonia game!
Read more about this huge announcement here: ON OUR BLOG!

Have a nice day! :)
Hello everyone,

We’d like to take some time to discuss what is happening with Aikonia and why it is still on hiatus. When Katie started working with us, the plan was for the comic to be a short one. A quick adventure through Aikonia’s past to introduce people to the world and how magic works in that world. But as time went on, we noticed the comic was doing really well and we wanted it to be more than just a quick venture. We injected a lot more story and rewrote it so that it would last several chapters.

Because of this, Katie worked with us for a lot longer than she expected to be working and we really appreciate the amazing work she’s put into the project. One problem was that she set the bar so high that other illustrators we talk to end up being intimidated.

We worked hard with Jared for a little over a month, but despite the support we’ve given him, he told us that the project was too much for him to handle. This means we are currently still looking for a new illustrator. We’ve found a couple candidates, but they were all either too busy or unable to continue in Katie’s footsteps.

We’re still searching for a new illustrator and we decided that it would really help if we made this public announcement: If you’re an illustrator who just happens to be awesome, please don’t hesitate to email us at hello@aikoniacomic.com

We’d be more than willing to discuss the project with you to see if you’d be the right person for the job. You do not have to emulate Katie’s style, we understand that hiring a new illustrator means the style of the comic will change and we’re ok with that.

Thank you all for your support and happy new year!
Hello everyone!

Today's page marks the end of chapter three. And yes, you read the title right: Aikonia’s third chapter is the last chapter that Katie will be illustrating. Katie’s work on Aikonia has been truly magnificent and the comic really wouldn’t have been the same without her amazing talent. She brought the comic to life in a way that was beyond our expectations and we are very grateful for the amazing work she has done. Unfortunately, she had to resign from illustrating Aikonia for personal reasons. So we wish her the best and we look forward to working with her again in the future!

This, of course, does not mean it is the end of Aikonia! In two weeks, we will return to continue our story with a new illustrator! As per usual, we will be taking the next week off to prepare for the fourth chapter and, in the meantime, we will be posting guest pages by other great artists and webcomic authors.

We hope that Katie’s departure does not upset you or change the opinion you have of Aikonia. We wouldn’t even be here today if it weren’t for your wonderful support and we don’t know what we would do without you all!

So again, thank you all for being so supportive these past two years and we hope you enjoy the fourth chapter of Aikonia, which will be starting on the 19th of November!

Hey everyone!

Since we're so close to the end of the campaign, we're going to start a small raffle!

If we reach at least 200 backers before the end of the campaign (in 10 days at the time of posting this update), we'll select 10 random backers (must have pledged at least $10) and send them a poster!

Yes, we are aware that one of the rewards is already a poster, let me explain. We have several poster designs (two of which can already be purchased on dA, one being the Aikonia Volume One cover art, and two more that we haven't released yet) and once the campaign ends, we'll run a poll to see which design is the most popular. The one that gets the most votes is the one we'll be sending to all the backers who pledged for the poster reward.

The poster that we'll be sending to the winners of the raffle will be one of the other designs (the second most voted maybe?). So who knows, you could be getting an extra poster along with your rewards! That could mean two posters if you pledged $50 or more!

And don't forget, every time we reach a $1k milestone, we release a page early on Aikonia, and every time we gain 50 new backers, we release a preview of the exclusive 5 page mini-comic that will be included in the printed volume one!

Your support has been so amazing so far, so keep spreading the word, we're almost there! :)
