Here is a new shipment update:
We have two parts to do the backers shipments. First we make all the boxes in Barcelona, after that we send all the international shipments to France (in two big palets), that do possible to keep the good shipment price because we're in Spain. This transit have a estimated duration of 10 days. But, We have a delay because was Christmas time and the logistics stopped all until this week. So, tomorrow is the deadline to have all in France and in the following days is when the international shipments start to each backer. When all the international shipment are done, we will send a confirmation by mail. The estimation to arrive is around 10 days (22th-24th January is the approximate delivery).
I'm so sorry for the delay. I know We have so many backer are waiting
the reward and we are so impatience to finish this part.

About the project
In the heart of the forest, among beautiful landscapes and fantastic creatures, is hidden the home of the nymphs, where we find Nima. She has reached adulthood and the time has come for her to take responsibility for the future of her species, to put into practice all she has been taught about the world of humans so she can seduce them, use them to perpetuate her race and then get rid of them. When she meets Awk he is different from what her sisters had taught her about men and she begins to have doubts. Will she be able to maintain the ancient traditions that ensure her survival and that of her people against her own feelings?
In this work the author presents a group off nymphs that have just reached adulthood and must take responsibility for the survival of their species.
The nymphs never give birth to male children and therefore have to seduce and deceive the unfortunate men that get lost in the forest. Once they lie with their human and achieve their aim of ensuring another generation of nymphs, they mercilessly kill the unfortunate victim. Their justification for such an act is that they must leave no trace, nor allow more relations between both worlds. Thus it has been for generations.
Nima, a nymph who usually tends to have more doubts than her peers, thinks about the reason for their traditions. Will everything be as she was taught? She doesn’t feel prepared for what she is asked to do and that feeling becomes stronger after getting to know her first victim, a human, who is not as she thought he would be and who increases her doubts about the need to do it, at least not in the way she has been taught.
In contrast to the world of the nymphs, in the human’s world we meet Awk, a young man who feels out of place in his village. Seeking to get farther and farther away from his own people, he goes deep into the forest, from which nobody returns. What he will find in that new world will have strong repercussions on both groups of people.
Nima is a story of impossible love with all the atmosphere of fairy tales, in which the fate of the lovers is played out to an uncertain end.
Designs
Rewards
For a work of this depth and artistic sensitivity, some rewards have been designed on a par with the author. Some of them can be obtained in bookshops and others not. It is indicated on the sidebar which are limited editions and which are not. As well as raising the amount needed for Nima to see the light of day, the aim of this campaign is to reward and offer readers some exclusive products with a high editing level. When readers open the pages of this comic we want them to be able to immerse themselves in an experience that will last in the memory and be treasured like a sensory memento.
Below are the different types of individual rewards in order to be able to appreciate the final result:
We know what a job well done entails and both the author and Spaceman Project are prepared. We love this medium and want to take it to another level where readers, authors, editors and booksellers are the protagonists. Therefore, we have taken small details into account and set a goal of raising an amount in keeping with what we offer.
A maximum period of 15 months is anticipated for the development of this work.
As the campaign time advances we will upload graphic and information updates, with the aim of going deeper into the world of Nima. As a guarantee of confidence we state that there will be no new rewards added to those offered from the beginning of the campaign. We believe that we must be fair and make our best offer from the outset. With this campaign policy we seek to ensure that sponsors do not feel disappointed after making an investment that is to their taste and then discovering a new reward.
Finally, but no less important, all the illustrations presented in this campaign are provisional and are subject to modifications once the goal is reached and the work begins to be created. This will mainly only affect cover images, never the story and format of the work and the type of reward offered. Naturally, we are presenting a live project to be developed. Creativity has no limits and we are convinced that we should not stop improving, which is why we have a commitment to quality with our readers.

2017-12-06
NIMA HAS BEEN PRINTED!
We have the great pride to confirm that the NIMA comic book has come to life and looks great.
Read more
We’ve endured three extra weeks of fabrication process due to the complex and difficult production of 18 individual products and over 10,000 copies printed, and because the printing process took longer than what was first confirmed to us. We are very sorry that we weren’t able to send you the copies between November 15th and 18th as was originally planned. Unfortunately we can’t always have an exact estimate of production time and we need to face any glitches that may push back deadlines and try to solve them as best as possible.
As you can see in the pictures, the comic book have come to completion. We estimate that the rest of the products (Artbook, Omokoi bonus, laminated bonus, postcards and poster) will be delivered on Tuesday, December 12th, and not sooner because December 6th and 8th are national holidays in Spain, If we receive everything in due time, we will start sending the 1,500 packages to our sponsors from December 14th.
We hope you’ll find that the long wait will be worth it and that you will be able to appreciate the work that took us 20 months to produce NIMA, with the author and publication process.
We take full responsibility for misinformation regarding the current state of Spaceman Project and we acknowledge that the communication hasn’t always been straightforward. For the past two months, we’ve been working on a more efficient system to keep our sponsors informed from the platform, especially regarding the meaning of publication process and delivery deadlines, so that the author will be able to keep the sponsors updated throughout the creation process about the evolution of the work or any delays that could come about. We are a team of human beings, we learn from our mistakes and know that we can do better as we learn more about our editorial model. Our goal is to satisfy the needs of the sponsors who trust us and deliver better service every time.
Last but not least, you still have until December 13th (We will delivery your package to the address inserted on that day) to update your name and delivery address with the following path:
Enter in My account / Select rewards / See the details of this contribution / Shipping Address / Edit
We will let you know as soon as we will send out the packages. Remember that the copies won’t be on sale in bookstores until all sponsors receive their package, we keep this compromise with all those who have made NIMA a reality and will let them be the first to enjoy this wonderful piece of art. -

[NIMA] STATE OF THE PROJECT
We are writing to you to thank you for sponsoring NIMA as well as to apologize for the extra time it’s taking us to complete the production and to explain the reasons behind this postponement in greater detail.The project was successfully completed on March 15th 2016, 18 months ago. Once the material was handed in by Enrique we spent months working on the comic book, for a final result of 18 books edited in various languages and formats.Please find a detailed roadmap with the production dates and actions that took place up until today:
-SEPTEMBER 4TH-
Upon completing the editorial designs, we sent all the documents to printing and started the pre-production process, including the selection of paper and finish coating. The paper was then produced in a factory to make the copies both for our sponsors and for the bookstores.
-SEPTEMBER 25TH-We received the paper from the factory after 3 or 4 weeks, and noticed an error in the type of paper used, which couldn’t adapt to the requested texture, weight and absorption.
-SEPTEMBER 29TH-We asked for a new paper production, soon after throwing away the original paper whose color and designs couldn’t adapt to the coating required by NIMA.
-OCTOBER 27TH-We received the new paper and we are ready to print the pages.The rewards should be sent between November 13th and 18th.To make up for our lateness we have created a special bonus for all sponsors, as you can see in the picture. We have included 64 extra pages in a 17x24 cm format with the complete Nima storyboard. We hope this extra gift will serve to thank you for your support, patience and understanding. -

NIMA: "Tradition", complete process of the page.
Enrique Fernández shares with us his amazing creative process while creating a page for his comic NIMA. Watching how the colours and shapes appear is hypnotising.
"The process of this page (pencils and gouache) is a clear example of what I want Nima to be. A comic with a fresh, organic feel, free from big technical details, focused on big brushy strokes and bright happy colours. I want the color pencil and brush strokes to breathe and become tangible, providing their texture and warmth."

Page creation process for Nima
My intention with this book is working again in a traditional way. Pencils, paper, gouache... But after so much time without practice, I still need the support of digital painting. In this case, for the concept art and the pencil sketch, and for some last color and assembly retouches (for printing) of the final page.

Descubriendo "Nima", la nueva obra de Enrique Fernández
Enrique Fernández es guionista, animador, ilustrador y, por encima de todo, un enorme autor de cómic. Desde su más tierna infancia ha llenado de monigotes todo papel que ha encontrado al alcance de sus manos. Ya en la universidad, estudiando Bellas Artes, vislumbraría que no sería allí donde aprendería el oficio de dibujante. Así fue cuando en 1995, bajo el impacto que le producen la humanidad y expresividad de los personajes de las películas de animación del momento, se sumerge en un curso de técnicas de animación.
