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.
