What a ride this campaign has been! Thank you to everyone who backed and joined the fun!

I've decided that we got so close to unlocking the final derpy, (just 1 backer away!) that I can't leave common sense on the table until my next campaign. So he will join the hoard as well!

And here's the rudimentary sketch so far.

I can also finally share the stickers for the early birds & all backer stretch goals which I finished making yesterday. These will be limited edition with the year of the campaign. And going forward all derpy campaigns will have these collectable stickers featuring designs from that campaign.

For everyone who commented and participated in the updates, I will design a 3rd limited sticker design. I'm still debating which derpy sketch to use 😊.

I'm also excited to share a sneak peek for some of the derpies sneaking into my haunted dragons campaign in October as part of Pintober!

Over the next day or so, Backerkit will charge your cards and import your information into the pledge manager. It takes 2-3 weeks to receive the funds. In this time I'll set up the pledge manager and once funds are received I'll send the surveys where you will choose which derpies you want as well as get a chance to add more to your hoard! It's important to complete the survey as soon as possible so I know how many derpies to order!

Once I have all the funds, I will order all the derpies. It takes about 5-6 weeks to get them after that. Once I do, I will lock all orders and addresses and start sorting and mailing them. By my estimation this will happen sometime in September. 

The hard work is mostly done, but I'm never done creating. I mentioned that derpy dragons started as a side quest. The actual quest I am on comes to fruition in September as a part of Booktopia.

It's the brand new release of the second book in my epic fantasy romance novel, Star Awakened. But I never do things half-assed, and I'm a sucker for shiny books filled with art. So I am releasing it as a deluxe gold foil edition. Of course this meant book 1 needed a facelift as well. So both books will be deluxe editions, filled with illustrations, endpapers, sprayed edges and more.

And, because I know many of my backers love pins, I will have a pin tier as well as the deluxe hardcover tier.

So whether you love books or pins, be sure to follow the campaign! There's some limited edition tiers you won't want to miss!

Until next time.

Yours in art,

Therena
