Greetings Hoarders,

I hope you are having an incredible day! I have both some updates as well as exciting news/art to share.

All orders have now been set to lock, which means you won't be able to change your add-ons anymore.

Depending on your tier I'll slowly start charging cards for shipping and locking addresses.
I'll start with the simpler orders first and work my way up.

I am contemplating fully illustrating some of the derpy dragons (below) and adding them to the artbook. If you bought a hardcover, please let me your thoughts if you want even more art in the book.

At this stage we are right on track. Pins should start to arrive in a couple of weeks and I'll start sorting & shipping orders. If all goes to plan I'll have the majority shipped by the end of the month, almost 2 months ahead of the anticipated schedule. With artbook orders & print orders shipping throughout July & early August.

You all have spoken, and almost unanimously voted that you are dragon loyalists! So, I went to the drawing board (literally) and designed new dragon pins!

Introducing "Derpy Dragons"

The campaign launches on July 2nd, and will look much like the Gilded dragon one in terms of tiers & prices. 

I illustrated the first 5 Derpy dragon pins and you get the first look at the finished art!

(Note these aren't exact colours, just the renders and final pins may vary once I've adjusted it for pins)

These were some of the most fun I've had drawing in a while. And I giggled to myself a lot while drawing these.

This entire project was inspired by a backer discussing cute dragon quotes with me. Which is why, aside from these designs, I will also create a community voted dragon pin as a stretch goal!  So start thinking of your favourite dragon quotes! I am also going to make a few custom pin tiers available for those who really need a specific quote /dragon.

Help me unlock all these dragon pins by following the campaign and backing early! I am setting an ambitious goal and would love to fund quickly so I can unlock more pins. All five designs will unlock at $7000. 

And for those who love the fall / Halloween season, remember to follow the haunted dragons campaign which launches in October! This one will be similar to pintopia with free cross collaboration pins. More details coming in a few weeks. 

I'll share some designs for these in the next update for the haunted dragons.

And of course I have my big release for "Star Awakened" coming in September as part of Booktopia! If you love deluxe collector's edition novels and epic romantic fantasy, definitely give that campaign a follow as well!

Well, that's all the exciting news for now. I'll be back once I start getting the pins & more!

Yours in art,
Therena
