Agree with you señor, [warning Spanish] realmente el que pierde si el producto no cumple, somos nosotros, los que apoyamos en el kickstarter, ya que la compañia si no vende no se ve afectada

Dude, I enjoy your art... but this is completely untrue. I would presume as an artist you'd agree. 

My Kickstarter failed earlier this year. I was asking for a relatively small amount of money to fund a comic book, just the first in a series of graphic novels. The amount asked would cover publishing, printing and supplies all of which I did not have access to at the time. 

At the same time I was asking for my Kickstarter, Zach Braff was asking for his. He's a big shot in Hollywood and wanted do produce his own movie his way and instead of finding Hollywood producers, he stooged off of people who are his fans. At the same time, multiple other comic artists, ones who have already made it (specifically Jimmy Palmiotti in this case) were using Kickstarter to find their projects while still getting work at places like DC in order to make their own projects in their own ways. 

These guys have plenty of their own money and access to backers without using crowd-funding projects like Kickstarter, taking away from small, independent artists like ourselves who do not have access to backers and "hook-ups" or producers or publishers or printers or anything else, people like us trying to do it all on our own for the first time.  

There are plenty of other people to blame when a Kickstarter fails. 

I pushed the hell out of my Kickstarter on every social media site I feasibly could, spamming everyone I could, even passing out flyers by hand in comic shops one Free Comic Book Day. The simple fact is that if you're already established as a name, people are going to give you more attention and that's completely unfair to the small first timer.
