It's the final hours of the campaign, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't clicking refresh hourly to see when we unlock the final derpy!
In fact, I decided that I will unlock him at 175 instead of 200 backers! So we only need 4 more!
But wait, there's more!
One of your fellow backers is adding an 11th derpy to the pile with the custom derpy tier!
Which means that no matter what, there's 10 derpies! (more likely 11!)
I bet you are as curious as I was what this mysterious derpy's quote would be. So I emailed them and asked. And I might have squeed a little when they told me!
🐉"Don't fear the shadows, they are friends"🐉
I love it so much. In fact, when I told my husband, he asked if I was sure I didn't secretly back it myself or pay off the backer to get this quote. I assured him I just have the most incredible backers and have found my tribe of dark dragon loving weirdlings. And that the quote was theirs.
So, if you have been hesitant to upgrade to 10 derpies, you can now know with all certainty that there will be 10 different derpies, possibly 11 to choose from!
Yesterday I asked if you wanted to see more behind the scenes steps, and the hoarding books and side quest was requested. So here you go.

So there you have it. The making of derpies in 4 easy steps!
By the way, if you enjoy seeing my art process, my hardcover "Gilded Dragons" artbook has something like 8+ pages on my tools and a more detailed process breakdown for my art!
Not only are the pages filled with dragons, but there are gold foil elements on the cover itself and this is one of the only ways to get a signed copy!
For todays backer question, tell me what type of magic you would want if you were a dragon!
I'll be back again later today once the campaign ends. In the meantime, if you are a backer, share with your friends! Lets get the final derpy unlocked! (though there is a certain irony in "common sense" being just out of our grasp 🤣😂)
