⚡ Echidna Unleashes Her Beasts! ⚡
We just hit $70K, and with it, the Mother of Monsters has been unleashed! This means Greek Gods and Heroes will now feature a stunning two-page endpaper spread—a bestiary of mythic terrors, from multi-headed hounds to winged horrors, coiled serpents, and fire-breathing chimeras. Each beast hand-illustrated in all its monstrous glory, waiting to greet you the moment you open the book.
Echidna’s brood is stirring… and I can’t wait to reveal the full artwork soon!
⚡ The Final Stretch Goal Approaches! ⚡
Next up at $80K—the Primordials, Gods, and Demigods Family Tree, a gorgeous two-page endpaper spread mapping out the divine lineage of Greek mythology! From the chaos-born Primordials to the mighty Olympians and legendary heroes, this will be a visual feast of connections, power, and mythic legacy.
⚡ALSO:⚡ I've just discovered another really cool Greek myth crowdfunding project that is currently live over on Backerkit- "Hercules and the 12 Labors" the card game. Mathue Ryan and his board game company "Envy Born Games," are doing some fun stuff over there. The art style and color palette is awesome! check it out here:
⚡Thank you again everyone!!⚡
With every unlocked milestone, this project transforms into something even more legendary. Your support isn’t just bringing a book to life—it’s forging a mythic legacy. I’m beyond grateful to have you on this journey!

We just hit $60K!!! Woohoo!! -unlocking a high-quality magnetic box upgrade—and I couldn’t be more thrilled! This isn’t just packaging; it’s the kind of detail that elevates Greek Gods and Heroes into a true collector’s artifact. Lush artwork wrapping around the box, gold foil gleaming like divine treasure, and a satisfying magnetic clasp—this will make every copy feel like it came straight from the vaults of Olympus. (Art and design TBD)
And we’re not stopping here:
⚡ $70K – Greek Myth Monster Bestiary 2-page spread ENDPAPER illustration

⚡ Paper Edges Steeped in Myth! ⚡
We just hit $50K, unlockingpaper edge spray—and I couldn’t be more excited! This is the kind of detail that transforms Greek Gods and Heroes from a book into a relic. A touch of color along the edges, like the gilded pages of an ancient tome, will make every copy feel like something plucked straight from myth itself.
Right now, I’m exploring two ideas for the design: bringing the Olympians into the artwork (though the width might be too thin for that much detail), or making the edges feel like aged parchment scrolls, adding that ancient, timeworn feel. Either way, you know I’m going to make it shine—this is going to be gorgeous.
There's still more ahead:
⚡ $60K – Upgrade to high quality magnetic box (*Art and Design TBD*)
⚡ $70K+ – TBD! Open to ideas—let me know what you'd love to see
This project started as a dream, but with your support, it’s becoming something truly legendary. Seeing it take shape with each milestone is surreal, and I couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for believing in this vision—we’re building something timeless together.
In ✨Myth and Magic,✨
