Onwards - The Final Push!
Hello everyone! Wanted to give a quick update as we are now at the one week remaining mark!
I've never done a fan art pin campaign, but it's going very well! Progress...
HUZZAH! Got the first crop of sample photos today! Don't worry about the metal colour - these aren't plated yet. That's all! I got excited! Love seeing everything come together!
Sorry, I meant to post this update days ago but I've been swamped with other things. Just wanted to thank you all for your super prompt survey replies! Thanks to that, I've been able to get a good count of what needs to be ordered early. I ordered the pins last weekend and the molds are currently being made!
I will be doing my first lock-and-charge this Friday, then the next (and last) one will be on December 31st. There's less than 10 of you who still need to fill out the surveys so please make sure to get it done before the 31st!
Just wanted to pop in to say that surveys are a little delayed but are almost done! I had back to back conventions and severely overestimated how much time I had in between shows to work on it. I just have to finish up the EU/UK survey and create questions for the early bird and returning backer incentives, then submit for review.
Once the surveys are approved, a smoke test will be sent out to a small amount of backers. 24 hours later, the rest of the surveys will be sent!
The pre order store will also be opened when the smoke test surveys get sent.
A reminder about the freebie Shiba Inu pin - all physical tier backers during the campaign will get one for free! If you missed the campaign but order via the pre order store, the Shiba Inu pin is NOT automatically included. The freebie incentive was specifically for folks who backed while the campaign was live. You can still purchase it as an add on in the shop!
Also concerning when cards will be charged for add ons and shipping, I think I'm going to do what I did for the last campaign and lock/charge cards every Friday. It seemed to work very well and there were very few (if any) card issues that way. I'll update the campaign page to reflect this change soon.
Hey everyone, thank you so much for the strong finish!! I got to meet some of you at the con this weekend and it was so lovely!! Yay!!
We're about two weeks out from surveys so BackerKit is ready, which is fine since I'll be traveling home this week and then have yet another convention next weekend. I'll also be sending out a special survey to the European backers who reached out.
Please make sure to fill out the survey ASAP when it's sent so I can get an accurate count on what needs to be ordered!
The pre order shop will be open for a little while for people who missed out on the campaign and will close when shipping is ready. New sets of pins usually take about 45 days to make, so if there are no significant delays shipping will likely happen in late January going into February.
And a couple more things! Here's a rough timeline on future pin projects I'm planning for 2025:
January: Animal Talismans (part of Pintopia 3)
Summer: New Zealand Birds Mini Pins
Fall: Cryptid Tea Sets
There might be smaller pin pre orders sprinkled in here and there, like a giant dragon pin.
That's all for now, time to drive back home! Thank you all again!
YAY we did it!!! Every pin is funded!! Thank you all very much!!!
This means: - Every pin shown on this campaign will be available as a pledge option - Every physical reward will come with a Shiba Sword pin
We still have a couple more days! I'll be at Kumoricon in Portland OR this weekend at artist alley booth K4 so come say hi if you're here! Show me your pledge confirmation and I'll give you a little freebie!
Also, I'm going to make a form soon for the UK/EU backers so I can keep you all in one place. It'll basically be like the survey I'll be sending to all backers. Hopefully I'll have it ready before the campaign ends.
If you're in Germany, I need to double check if I can even send to you guys right now. I heard it might not be possible from a few other pin artists. Stand by, I'll try to figure something out.
