Hey there! Since Lordran & Beyond: 2nd Edition features such a huge roster of contributors, I wanted to kick off a series of Spotlight updates to show off each artist, what they've worked on for L&B 2nd Edition, and some of their greatest personal work!
Rachel Saunders, known otherwise online as Baru, very graciously lent her incredible skill in designing this amazing new cover for 2nd Edition. Rachel's history with Lordran & Beyond dates all the way back to 2015 when she did full artwork for her premiere comic starring Sieglinde of Catarina:
Also that year, Rachel worked with Chris Blanco to color his excellent panels and line artwork when delivering L&B's first Bloodborne comic in May, shortly after the game's release:
In 2016, after the launch of Dark Souls III, she collaborated with different a Chris, this time Chris Puglise, and colored in his amazing linework for In Her Service:
In between her work on Lordran & Beyond comics, Rachel also worked on a gallery's worth of gorgeous wallpapers and Patreon reward illustrations too:
To top things off, I also wanted to share a truly striking and stunning piece by Rachel outside the scope of Soulsborne that she drew earlier this year:
You can find a vast gallery of Rachel's work right here on her ArtStation gallery!

We've hit our funding goal! Seeing this kind of progress, so quickly, really blows me away. You've all turned out spectacularly, and I can't wait to see what stretch goals will get tackled as well!
Thank you everyone, and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Hey all, just wanted to announce the incredible progress the campaign has made. We're under $1,000USD from reaching the funding goal and L&B 2nd Edition will officially become a printed item early next year! Thank you, everyone, for pledging your resources and energy, and believe in this book.
Day One is in the bag! Nearly 75% to goal! Also, the PDF version of L&B 1st Edition will be added to existing pledge goals

Thank you to everyone who's followed the project and pledged towards L&B 2nd Edition! Even though this new book has a much more ambitious funding goal than the first edition, we're nearly three-quarters of the way to successfully funding in just over a day!
As another part of this update, I wanted to mention that the PDF download version of Lordran & Beyond: 1st Edition will be included in all pledge tiers beginning with the $12 "Cleric's Indictment" bundle. A digital version of 1st Edition was not previously available in any part of the campaign, so I wanted to amend that by making the PDF of 1st Edition as accessible as possible. This change is not yet reflected in the reward details or graphics yet, but I'll be making changes to the Kickstarter page to accommodate this later in the week.
Once more, thank you! There's a ton of great updates and additional insight you'll be seeing later as the campaign progresses~
