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

Il progetto
Nel cuore del bosco, tra bei paesaggi e creature fantastiche, si nasconde la dimora delle ninfe, e qui troviamo Nima. Ha raggiunto l’età adulta ed è arrivato il momento per lei di rendersi responsabile del futuro della sua specie, mettere in pratica ciò che le è stato insegnato nel mondo degli umani per sedurli e usarli per la prosecuzione della stirpe e infine disfarsi di loro. Quando conosce Awk, si rende conto di quanto lui sia differente rispetto a ciò che le sue sorelle le avevano insegnato sugli uomini e iniziano a sorgerle dubbi… sarà capace di rispettare le usanze ancestrali, che assicurano la sua sopravvivenza e quella del suo popolo, contro quelli che sono i suoi sentimenti?
In quest’opera l’autore presenta un gruppo di ninfe che hanno appena raggiunto l’età adulta e che devono assumersi la responsabilità della sopravvivenza della loro specie.
Le ninfe non generano mai figli maschi, perciò devono sedurre e ingannare uomini sfortunati che si perdono nel bosco. Giacciono con loro e una volta ottenuto l’obiettivo di assicurare una nuova generazione di ninfe, uccidono senza pietà le sventurate vittime. La loro giustificazione per tali azioni è che non debbano lasciare tracce né permettere che ci siano ulteriori contatti tra i due mondi, così è stato per generazioni.
Nima, una ninfa che in generale si pone più dubbi delle altre, si chiede il perché di queste usanze. Sarà davvero tutto come le hanno insegnato? Non si sente pronta a fare ciò che le viene richiesto e questa sensazione si fa più forte nel momento in cui conosce la sua prima vittima, un umano che non è come lei si aspettava e che fa crescere i suoi dubbi sulla necessità di agire, o sul modo in cui le hanno insegnato a farlo.
In contrasto con il mondo delle ninfe, nel mondo degli umani troviamo Awk, un giovane che non trova il suo posto nel paese in cui vive. Cercando di evadere sempre di più dal suo ambiente, si addentra nelle profondità del bosco, da cui non ritorna mai nessuno. Quello che scoprirà in questo nuovo mondo, avrà grandi ripercussioni su entrambi i paesi.
Nima è una storia d'amore impossibile in un'atmosfera tipica dei racconti fantastici, in cui il destino dei due innamorati trova la sua conclusione in un finale incerto.

Ricompense
Per un’opera di tale profondità e sensibilità artistica è stata pensata una ricompensa all’altezza dell’autore. Alcune copie potranno essere acquistate in libreria e altre no. Sulla barra laterale sono indicate le edizioni limitate e quelle senza limiti. L’obiettivo di questa campagna, oltre alla raccolta dei fondi necessari perché Nima possa prendere vita, è premiare e offrire al lettore dei produtti esclusivi con un’edizione di alto livello. Vogliamo che il lettore, nel momento in cui apra le pagine di questo fumetto, si possa sommergere in un’esperienza che perduri nella sua memoria e che sia preziosa come un ricordo sensoriale.
Di seguito esponiamo i diversi tipi di ricompense individuali per poter apprezzare il risultato finale:
Siamo consapevoli dello sforzo che comporta un lavoro ben fatto e sia l’autore che noi di Spaceman Project siamo preparati. Amiamo questo modello e vogliamo portarlo a un altro livello in cui lettori, autori, editori e librerie siano i protagonisti. Per questo abbiamo tenuto in considerazione i piccoli dettagli e abbiamo definito una meta di raccolta fondi adeguata a quello che offriamo.
Il tempo di realizzazione dell’opera è di un massimo di 15 mesi.
Via via pubblicheremo aggiornamenti sia grafici che informativi, con lo scopo di addentrarci sempre più nel mondo di Nima. Come garanzia, indichiamo che non ci saranno ricompense oltre a quelle che vengono offerte a inizio campagna.
Per concludere, ma non meno importante, tutte le illustrazioni presentate in questa campagna sono provvisorie e potranno essere soggette a modifiche una volta raggiunti i fondi necessari e cominciato il lavoro. Ciò riguarda solo le immagini di portata principali, non la storia, né il formato dell’opera né le ricompense offerte. Com’è lógico, stiamo presentando un progetto vivo e da realizzare. La creatività non ha limiti e nutriamo la convinzione che non si debba smettere di migliorare, per questo motivo ci siamo compromessi a garantire qualità ai nostri lettori.

NIMA HAS BEEN PRINTED!
We have the great pride to confirm that the NIMA comic book has come to life and looks great.
Continua a leggere
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] Estado del proyecto.
Nos dirigimos a ti para agradecerte el patrocinio de NIMA y disculparnos por los meses de retraso que estamos teniendo para finalizar la producción e informarte detalladamente de los motivos de la demora en la entrega de tu recompensa.
Continua a leggere
El proyecto finalizó con éxito el 15 de marzo de 2016, hace 18 meses. Tras la entrega de los materiales de Enrique hemos trabajado durante meses en la edición del cómic, teniendo como resultado 18 libros editados en varios idiomas y formatos.
A continuación te detallo la hoja de ruta con las fechas y acciones realizadas en torno a la producción hasta hoy:
-4 DE SEPTIEMBRE-
Tras haber terminado el diseño editorial enviamos todos los documentos a imprenta y empezamos la pre-producción. Eligiendo el papel para la obra y acabados de las cubiertas. En este plazo es cuando se pide la fabricación del papel para realizar las copias, tanto de patrocinadores como las que irán a librerías.
-25 DE SEPTIEMBRE-
Recibimos de fábrica el papel encargado, que tarda entre 3 y 4 semanas en ser producido. Se localizó un error en el tipo de papel no adaptandose la textura, gramaje y absorción encargados.
-29 DE SEPTIEMBRE-
Se pidió nuevamente una fabricación, tras descartar el anterior por no adaptarse al acabado que requiere Nima, por su tipo de trazo y color.
-27 DE OCTUBRE-
Hemos recibido el nuevo papel y ya está todo preparado para imprimir las páginas.
Entre el 13 y 18 de noviembre tenemos previsto empezar a realizar los envíos de todas las recompensas.
Para compensar nuestra demora hemos creado un bonus especial para todos los patrocinadores, como puedes ver en la imagen, se trata de una grapa de 64 páginas en formato 17x24 cm para que puedas disfrutar del storyboard completo de NIMA. Con este regalo esperamos poder gratificar tu apoyo, paciencia y comprensión. -

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.
