Hi everyone! Hope yoy are all having a wonderful holiday season! I wanted to quickly share my packing status:
I only need the Abyssal sea dragons as well as about half a bag of Coral Reef dragons. Then everything has been packaged!
You can see the haphazardly placed pins in all the other random boxes I have that are ready to be packed into orders. I thank you for the patience, I know it has been a long journey. I hope that having at least a small update is better than radio silence.
It has also come to my attention that Canada Post is currently on strike, and that means it will be difficult for our friends up north to receive any packages. While Im not shipping yet, I will be keeping my eye on when it is all clear to send.
Cant wait to start packing orders, as Im sure you all are as well.
Wishing you a warm and safe end of the year =) As always I will keep you posted.
Hi everyone! I apologize for the sparse information. Good news is I have found employment! And we may have an apartment to move into by the end of the year!!! It does mean I have less time for pins, but all pins have been graded and in the process of being carded.
I thank you for bearing with me, and I will state that things may slow down due to moving and getting re-re-adjusted to a new normal. I am still eyeing that Feb 2025 shipping goal, and will let you know whether that target gets hit. Or if I get to ship sooner, or if I need more time.
I'm prioritizing getting these rewards sent out over planning the next campaign. Summer would be nice to roll something out, but its also possible that Pintopia 4 might just be the target debut for Sea Dragons 2. I know, its a wait, but more than worth it if it means less life events in the way. I'm still gutted by how much losing a job and housing has impacted this project, and I want to make sure the next one runs as smoothly as possible.
Please comment, message, email, dm, carrier pigeon me however you wish for any questions or concerns you have. even if its just a picture of the pins your ordered lol. I will answer.
Take care this holiday season and stay safe and warm!
Sorry for the late update, but THEY'RE HERE! They honestly look amazing and I'm really happy with how they turned out~ Now comes the part where I check them all over for any flaws and start sorting out what is going home with you all! This will take a bit (It was 5 boxes!!) But we will get there!
As far as Pintopia 3 is concerned, there's a chance I won't be able to make it =( We're still trying really hard to get some jobs/find an apartment, and while something promsing has come up, there's no guarantees at the moment. I was really looking forward to riding the momentum and getting a new wave of sea dragons, but it may not happen.
If the interest is still there, it can be part of a regular canpaign, and I can still cross-collab with a partner so there is that, or wait till next Pintopia, surely our situation will be wildly different from now.
Anyways, I just wanted to update everyone so they don't get worried. It's all here!!! Grading time!!
I noticed that pink fae egg looked a little dark, so I asked for more photos:
LOOKS SOOO MUCH BETTER IN THE LIGHT
And of course:
Wanna know something freaking awesome??!
THE ABYSSAL VARIANT GLOWS!!!!!!!
It was a brilliant revelation after the order was sent through, but was still able to be done! Enjoy the deep sea beauty!! ============================= Current Status: Being shipped over, may take a couple weeks to arrive. Then its checking them over and packing up the best ones to you ♡
Close to 3k pins are being sent, so the inspecting/packing will take a while.
There have been requests to change addresses, if you need an address change, please please reach out and let me know!!!
Looks like Pintopia 3 will arrive a little earlier than anticipated, and since my personal situation has not improved, I will be using the Sea dragons for the next campaign. For now, it appears the Rainbow Sea Dragon is the safest bet as well as the remaining abyssal variants (especially now that they glow =o )
Once we are established, and I have my pc again, I'll hash out more details...
...anyone interested in a baby sea dragon plush??
Of course you are!
But what color??????? ============================= Stay tuned, I will update again once the pins arrive. I love you all, stay safe, and spread happiness! ❤️
They still need their screenprint, but here are some more photos of the others!
They also need some polishing, electroplating and screenprinting, but they're coming along! Their glitter wings are looking nice!
If your flip this over on it's side, you will see its the baby dragons! Can't wait to see these finished~ <3 No images of the fae eggs yet =(
This one just needs a little electroplating and polish!
ALSO THE CHERRY HAS ARRIVED!!
nice little glamor photo~
Alright, last but certainly not least:
Also in that polish>electroplating>screenprinting phase, the sea dragons! I know we're missing a passionfruit, but I imagine it's in the same level of completion =)
I've been let go from my work position and as such, will be losing housing, for not only myself, my family as well. I have at minimum 5 days to leave before further action is taken.
Before we jump onto the "here goes the artist misappropriating funds" bandwagon, please note that the pins and associated packaging have already been paid for.
What happens to the pins once finished? - They will be shipped to a trusted friend's place where I am able to pick them up.
Will this affect the delivery date? - My estimated ship date is set to Feb 2025. Lots of months to sort, pack, and ship. If I need additional time, you bet I'll be posting here. (or harass me on discord, pls I'm lonely lol) This being said, I may need to lock addresses sooner than expected so I can have the labels printed out before I have to pack my label printer away into storage.
You can expect to see a lockdown of addresses in the next couple days, please make sure your address is correct.
But what if I move???! Feb 2025 is quite a ways away!!!- Don't worry, I can cover an extra shipping label or two in case of emergencies. MESSAGE ME, HUNT ME DOWN AT ALL COSTS IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR ADDRESS:
btw I've just been informed I cannot do glitter over screenprint, but screenprint OVER the glitter. so in essence, white glitter body, everything else normal.
NOW ITS 18!!!
I actually had not intended to make 18 more sea dragon pins, and I'm very sure some variants are more popular than others, so I was going to leave it up to a vote:
The top ___ sea dragons would make it as the next variant of pins + matching baby pins
the next top ___ sea dragons would be made into acrylic keychains
the remaining could be made into stickers
I was also messing around with another type of sea dragon, maybe I could finish it and give this one the color treatment? It could compliment the original sea dragon!
here's that baby sea dragon that was mentioned, plus possibly the acrylic keychain pose (I've got to put a little effort into this lol)
These were my preliminary sketches, but I was thinking to organize these into a sticker sheet
Anyways, these are still in the idea phase and will not be launched as a project AT LEAST until The Dragon Hoard pins get sent out
And probably for a while longer since I don't know where we are going from here job/housing wise. At least for now.
I may not be back for a while guys. Please know that I appreciate you all being with me. I'll try to update via my phone with whatever images I have or if I have confirmation of shipment.
