So recently I was asked produce a custom book as a reward level for the kick start RPG Do Pilgrims of the Flying Temple and I jumped at the chance. Love this hobby and was very excited to help out with this project. It also gave me an excuse to start a blog to track my progress and share with anyone who might be interested.
So as my premier post I give you a snap shot of some of the raw material I will be using for the project.
The book is still in final editing so it will be some time before I get the actual pages to bind but the final dimensions 8.5x8.5 so cover design can begin now. Because I don't have the final page count and because of the Asian theme I landed on Japanese binding. Here are a couple of books I did with a Japanese binding for those not familiar with the term.
Part 2 - Cut Cut and more Cuts....
Look forward to following your progress. I've only ever seen your finished products (well, maybe a quick sneak peek in process once). So, it'll be great to finally see behind the scenes, step-by-step.
