Great news all packages are done!
So cool news all the packages for all books and fans are done I am just sending now all the parcels this week and next week its literally a room full of parcels due to the sheet amount it will be about three trips to the post office with my mum who helps out and I am so grateful for that!
I am also in the processes of finishing all large commissions.
Map of Levos
Hey gang here is a map of the town of Levos it didn't make the last book simply cause of time issues. However it will make the next book. What happens is that in the RPG Campaign people will start leveling up their characters in the town of Levos with a few missions. Their are still a few tasks at hand after the first book and adventurers will be able to spend many session sexploring quests.
This RPG FOR THE Bai Ze will find you able to start the game in the town of Levos and you will have a few options to explore before you finally go on the trail to Adaross to find what has happened to the Bai Ze and the book of monsters. Also some monsters will be invading from Adaross and entering Levos. Without spoiling too much the road to Adaross will be a long and arduous journey. Gaius the Dragon God will be scared away and not able to transport you as he easily did with Thrakos in the last two books.
The comic is also going to be jam packed with pages of art and story and is coming up really nicely
Levos the town map is revealed
Also I will be making my own resin miniatures versus getting them made overseas in China I have my own packaging and I will be releasing my miniatures and calling them Dragons Dreams Miniatures with this new book around 25-36 will be unlocked!!

My mum and my assistant Christy are busy doing the orders. I am in the process of signing so many things never been so overwhelved before.
Here is the fulfillment table it's massive!
The new book
We are in the process of getting the new Kickstarter ready and I have been busy painting pages we have been testing the game play element and doing so much more 3d modelling and all the cool stuff like comic pages. Her is another page of the artwork for the new book below.
I would love to hit about 300 followers before we launch so if you love my stuff please go and hit the follow on my project page here.
So I have been friends with Benjamin Slabak for years and he has an amazing range of comics. He has decided to come on board and do an 8-12 page story for the Baize and book of monsters anthology.
Based on how well my project goes and his present kickstarter we will unlock all 12 pages but we need your help on his project also. He is an amazing sci fi writer and a creator I love.
Wierd fact his comic book publishing company bouth the first book I ever worked on the ADVENTURES OF LIGHTING ROD. He did not know who I was until we met at a sydney supanova!

BOOK IS HERE AND THE NEXT BOOK IS LAUNCHING OCT 11
Hey folks great news my book is all printed and the first 150 books are presently in good old Melbourne the city of video games and one of my favorite events PAX MELBOURNE.
The books will arrive to Adelaide tomorrow and we will start to process all the orders and ship them this week. I will do my best to start processing each order but keep in mind I have 150 orders or more to prepare for postage! If anyone is waiting for this book for a birthday present and wants it by the end of September please leave a comment telling me you need it asap and ill tell all, my helpers, if it is for a birthday present or something important we will process it as fast as we can. Otherwise, we will start with all Australian orders and slowly each other country by the end of September. I am still finishing off some commissions for fans so please be patient if you are waiting for a big dragon art commission as I have been snowed under with commissions thankfully due to the loss of conventions I have had an influx of freelance work to help me survive over the loss of comic conventions and lockdowns in the eastern states of Australia. The reason for shipping Australian orders first is that I do not have to fill out customs forms for the US OR UK. Overseas orders require more forms to ensure they are delivered safely. I have family and my assistant helping and we plan to have the books out of my house before October 11 or sooner.
Anyway here is the book!

Hey gang just want to share with you the good news that the book is done it is at the printers and I just also sent them the artwork for the dust jacket. I have added free of charge foil printing on the cover and spine so those words stand out over the art. I also have made the cover art different to the dust jacket to make this book epic. The book was not 120 pages but 150! 40,000 words plus 58 illustrations way more than just 20 illustrations I was planning on only having one artwork a chapter but we went to 2-3 illustrations a chapter.
I am sending you all the digital file now also via kickstarter messaging so keep an eye out.

Next Kickstarter COMIC D&D CAMPAIGN BOOK LAUNCHING!
gold foil dust jacket
Book cover
Above is the final book cover the black text on spine and cover will be golden foil.
The next book is a COMIC STYLED campaign book for D&D
THE BAIZE AND BOOK OF MONSTERS GRAPHIC NOVEL CAMPAIGN BOOK!
The next book we see Thrakos enter the area of Adaross an area that is abundant in dream magic but something has gone terribly wrong. We have more back story in the next comic about how the Beast god came about and its link to the Baize and book of monsters. I thought if we are going to feature the book of monsters in our comic why not actually make a book of monsters for d&d players!
So this is the first D&D campaign book we are doing which is in the style of a comic book and that will also have a graphic novel in it.
Here is an example of a character sheet for the Masked One. The next book will be about 60 pages of comics and also in addition to that 60 pages of d&d content such as monsters map, quests and a campaign all in one. First book of its kind.
You can join my discord group which is for all things Luminous Ages and A Christou Art. I am amalgamating all my social medias into one.
Due to having no conventions and Australia in Lock Down I have poured all my time into this new epic comic with Rod Ramos Rodolfo an amazing artist
THE BAIZE FROM Chinese Mythology!
The next kicsktarter will go live Oct 12 and will run until Nov 19 or maybe longer depending so Watch out for this amazing campaign as I have so much in store for this. Possibly even a calendar
