Overview
Hi, I am Gabriel Picolo, a Brazilian illustrator and comic book artist, known for my Teen Titans fanart and Icarus and the Sun, the theme of this campaign. I've been posting glimpses of their story hoping that one day I would put it on a comic book. After years of planning this is finally the moment! This book is something that I have always wanted to do, and that my followers constantly asked through the years. With your support, I will be able to tell their whole story. Let's do this together!

ABOUT ICARUS AND THE SUN

How it all started

A few years ago I was doing my 365 days of doodles challenge. It was supposed to be just one illustration, but I felt there was so much more to tell about their relationship. So I started to craft a story revolving around their tragic break up. To my surprise, the story resonated with a lot of people that started to follow my work. Because of that, I got a lot of opportunities to work as a comic book artist. I was never able to publish this book by myself, and this has been a personal goal of mine for a while. After lots of planning, I've decided to do a crowdfunding so we can make this happen together. I am reaching out to you, a fan of these characters, to join me on this campaign to launch their full story for the very first time.

 

The comic book

Icarus and the Sun will have around 60 colored pages and a soft cover (for now). You've already seen online some key moments of the story, this book will tie them up and give a closure to the story. With your support, I will be able to finish that, get it inked, colored and lettered. Dimensions are approximately 6.1x9 inches.

The images shown are for illustration purpose only. If funded, the comic book will have the same content as mentioned, but with print quality and new layout.

 

The campaign

I have prepared some cool perks to achieve our goal. Aditionally to the book, that you will be able to get either in a digital PDF format or a physical printed copy, I will offer an exclusive 3 prints set (A5 sized), sketched books and some campaign-only commissions.

The total funds are split between printing the comic books, the Indiegogo fee, credit card fees, and the payment to the professionals involved in this launch. I found it best not to include the shipping here, for that would most likely jeopardize the funding effort and minimize my control over how the packages are going to arrive for you.

I have planned this very carefully and chose professional partners to make this project as good as possible, but please bear in mind I am not a publishing house, I am bound to learn something with any possible rocks along the path. Still I think we're as prepared as it's humanly possible.

Thank you so much for your support and let´s make this happen, together!

 

STRETCH GOALS UPDATES

Hey, guys! I can not thank you enough for all your love and support. I am completely mindblown!!! To celebrate achieving 300k in less than 24 hours, I am upgrading all printed books to hardcover. 

And today I am launching our very first stretch goal. If we get to USD 340k, all tiers with the physical copy of the book will get a set of CACTUS STICKERS for free.

PS: I promise that if we get a new stretch goal, I will include something for the PDF copy of the book =
