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.

A propos du projet
Au coeur de la forêt, entre paysages de rêve et créatures fantastiques, se cache le repère des nymphes.
C’est là que nous rencontrons Nima. Elle est parvenue à l’âge adulte et le moment est venu pour elle de prendre en charge le futur de son espèce, mettre en pratique tout ce qu’on lui a enseigné sur le monde des hommes pour les séduire, s’en servir pour perpétuer la lignée et s’en débarrasser ensuite.
Quand elle voit Awk approcher, il lui semble bien éloigné de tout ce que ses soeurs ont pu lui raconter sur les hommes. Le doute commence à s’immiscer... Sera-t-elle capable de perpétuer les traditions ancestrales, les seules qui puissent garantir sa survie et celle des siens mais qui vont à l’encontre de ses sentiments?
Dans cette oeuvre, Enrique Fernandez dépeint un groupe de nymphes qui, parvenues à l’âge adulte, doivent assumer leurs responsabilités et assurer la survie de leur espèce.
Les nymphes ne mettent jamais au monde d’enfants mâles, c’est pour cette raison qu’elles doivent séduire et tromper les malheureuses créatures qui s’égarent dans leur forêt. Une fois l’union consommée et la nouvelle génération de nymphes perpétrée, elles tuent de sang froid leur malheureuse victime. La justification d’un tel acte est qu’il ne doit pas y avoir de trace, ni exister de relation entre les deux mondes. Et cela dure depuis des générations.
Nima est une nymphe qui, d’une manière générale, doute plus que ses compagnes, se pose la question du sens profond des traditions. Elle s’interroge: Tout se passera-t-il exactement comme je l’ai appris? Elle ne se sent pas prête à accomplir ce qu’on attend d’elle. Et cette sensation s’amplifie quand elle rencontre sa première victime, un humain qui n’est pas exactement tel qu’elle l’avait imaginé, ce qui renforce ses doutes sur la nécessité d’accomplir sa mission, du moins telle qu’on la lui a enseignée.
Faisant contrepoint à l’univers des nymphes, nous rencontrons Awk, un jeune homme qui ne parvient pas à trouver sa place parmi les siens. En cherchant à s’éloigner toujours un peu plus du monde des hommes, il s’enfoncera dans une forêt profonde, de laquelle personne n’est jamais revenu. Ce qu’il découvrira dans ce monde nouveau aura de grandes répercussions sur les deux peuples.
Nima est une histoire d’amour impossible sur fond de conte fantastique au sein de laquelle le destin des deux amants se joue dans un avenir incertain.

Récompenses
Nous avons conçu des prix à la hauteur du talent de l’auteur et de cette oeuvre profonde dotée d’une grande sensibilité artistique. Certaines récompenses pourront être achetées en librairie, d’autres non. L’onglet latéral précise pour chaque récompense s’il s’agit d’une édition limitée ou non. L’objectif de cette campagne est ambitieux. Il ne s’agit pas seulement d’atteindre le budget nécessaire à l’impression de Nima, mais de récompenser le lecteur en lui offrant des produits exclusifs avec un haut niveau d’édition. Nous souhaitons que, dès l’ouverture de cette bande dessinée, le lecteur se laisse submerger par une expérience qui restera gravée dans sa mémoire comme un souvenir sensoriel fort.
Spaceman Project comme l’auteur savons ce qu’un travail de qualité représente en termes d’efforts. Nous y sommes préparés. Nous sommes des amoureux de la bande dessinée et nous avons décidé de l’élever à un niveau jamais encore égalé. Un niveau où lecteurs, auteurs, éditeurs et libraires deviendraient les protagonistes. Pour ce faire nous avons accordé une attention particulière au moindre détail et le budget de cette campagne a été adapté à la qualité de l’offre que nous vous proposons.
Le délai de réalisation pour cette oeuvre est estimé à 15 mois.
Nous posterons,au fur et à mesure de l’avancement de la campagne, des actualisations graphiques ou informatives afin de vous permettre de pénétrer chaque jour un peu plus dans le monde de Nima. Dans un souci d’équité et afin de garantir un climat de confiance total, aucune contrepartie nouvelle ne sera ajoutée en cours de campagne. Nous avons choisi de vous proposer le meilleur et ce dès le premier jour. Cette politique n’a d’autre but que de satisfaire pleinement et intégralement chacun de nos contributeurs.
Dernier point et non des moindres, toutes les illustrations qui sont présentées dans cette campagne sont provisoires et susceptibles d’être modifiées lorsque l’objectif sera atteint et l’oeuvre en cours de fabrication. Ces modifications affecteront essentiellement les images de couverture, elles ne porteront en aucun cas sur l’histoire, le format de l’oeuvre ou les contreparties proposées (qui resteront inchangés). Le projet que nous proposons et c’est logique, est un projet vivant, un projet en devenir. La créativité n’a pas de limite et nous sommes convaincus que nous ne devons cesser de l’améliorer. C’est l’engagement de qualité que nous avons conclu avec nos lecteurs.

[NIMA] HELLO INTERNATIONAL BACKERS!

06/12/2017
NIMA HAS BEEN PRINTED!
We have the great pride to confirm that the NIMA comic book has come to life and looks great.
Lire la suite
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.

First designs
During the process of developing a book, the characters change a lot, depending on the moods and feelings of the story, that also changes from what you have in mind first. Everything is alive and evolving, and that´s what makes the developement of a book something great to see. That´s the kind of things you see on the Artbook and the Extra Pages of the books.

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.
