“Regular” Prints
These are the art print options that were available from the very beginning of the project. Backers at the EXPERIENCED VIGILANTE level or higher get to choose one or more of these (as well as the BONUS prints below) as 11″ x 14″ full-color, high-quality prints and all backers will receive links to download the art as digital wallpapers. And due to all the unlocked rewards, backers at the TRUE SUPER-HERO level and above (who choose to get the NSFW prints) will be now sent thirty-four 11″ x 14″ prints! Wow!
- “Save the Night” – starring the entire The Young Protectors team
- “Something’s Brewing” – starring The Annihilator, The Platinum Priestess and Kyle (colors soon!)
- This explosive action-scene from CH 1, Pg 41 of The Young Protectors: Engaging the Enemy
- This romantic image from CH 1, Pag 61 of The Young Protectors: Engaging the Enemy
- Art from the cover of The Young Protectors: Engaging the Enemy Vol. One book (it’s going to be awesome!)
