Phez is funded, but we're not over!

You know what that means! Stretch goals!

For the first stretch goal at $2,000 I will be including an HD version of my animated Journey of Phez project in every reward tier. I've been working on this animation at the same time as the comic, so you know it's going to be amazing!

What is the Journey of Phez?

"Journey of Phez" is a story about a mushroom-person on a personal quest to find the origins of his people. Along the way, he meets a cast of interesting characters that tag along for reasons of their own, unifying themselves in the name of exploration.

Who are you?

My name is Travis Ramsey, and I'm a comics & animation student about to graduate from the University of Wisconsin - Stout, and this is my senior capstone project! This comic has been in the works since the summer of 2014, and is in the final stages of being completed.

What is the purpose of this Kickstarter?

The purpose of this Kickstarter is to get the funding required to print and distribute the first issue. This comic is 32 pages and fully colored, and requires professional printing to become reality for not just myself, but also for people that want to read my story!

What is the story about?

Phez is a mushroom-person that never really fit in with his village. He was never great at hunting, nor did he have the patience for farming. Since Phez had no real purpose, he grew curious as to his people's purpose - and their beginnings.

Heading out with the minimal resources the village would allow him to take, Phez leaves home with no fanfare on a journey that might bear no fruit.

The story is one about finding purpose and coming to terms with what happens after that purpose has been fulfilled. Along the journey, Phez meets up with a cast of characters that try to find their own purpose by traveling the globe.

What is currently finished?

Currently, I have all pages completed in flat-colored form with dialogue balloons put in. These are the first two pages of the book in the current state of completion!

And the steps that I have yet to complete are texturing the pages, and inserting the backer characters. This is an example of one of my finished pages with the texturing all finished!

What will I be getting?

Everyone who backs this project at a reward tier will be getting this first issue in some capacity, whether it be a digital version or a printed copy. Here are the reward levels...
