Finally finished the pencils for book 4

I have finally finished the pencils for book 4, please take a look at the pdf and tell me what you think. Any feedback at this stage, before inking and coloring, is invaluable and very much appreciated. I'm particularly interested in pacing, clarity, character motivation, and whether the ending lands. If anything feels confusing or doesn't emotionally work, I'd be super appreciative to hear about it now. Note: if you have been following the story this is obviously a spoiler, it is the complete story of book 4 and concludes this story arc. Thanks in advance.

Here are book 4 pencils:

Kickstarter pledge manager and taxes, need help

Hello I would really love a little direction. I am done with my campaign and plan to collect addresses. Should I use Kickstarter pledge manager or just send survey only. I don't have a very complex fulfillment or a lot of add ons. Its comic books that are already printed I just need to ship them out.

Also there is the tax question, I only raised 2,000 and when I started the campaign I opted out of using the pledge manager. I am just trying to avoid charging backers taxes and not paying the taxes. I can deduct the tax from the final price. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I put together a really simple perspective tool for artists and made a quick demo showing how I use it. It’s completely free, no login, no ads, no spam. Just upload a photo and use it to line up perspective. Can also measure by head. Download the image with guides.
