Greetings Hoarders,

Today I get to share exciting progress news, as well as early looks at the pins!

But first timeline:
Pins are expected to ship to me by Jan 7th, so I should hopefully have everything by the 14th and start shipping by the end of January!

Stickers arrived and are so cute! I unlocked the hexed sticker too, so those who ordered it will have him 😊.

All the postcards also arrived, though I haven't sorted it yet. But they all look amazing!

And now for the pin sneak peek! (Keep in mind these aren't the best quality photos as some are blurry, but these were sent from my manu.)

And as a special treat, I upgraded the "Hektor" custom Derpy to be glow in the dark eyes for the dragon and pumpkin! Like a real Jack-o'-lantern! And the weirdling tribe is grey pearl swirl for the dragon 😊.

I can't wait to add these to my own collection!

I have completed even more derpies for my bookish derpy dragon campaign in January. Bringing the finished designs to 6, plus 2 collab design sets. That's 8 possible new Derpies 😁. I tweaked the text for the "Shhh" derpy and it's now "I read banned books", which I think really suits him. 

I also added the "tortured artist/author" Derpy, which is based on the sketch I made while my son was in the hospital after being run over by a car. 

I plan to make 4+ more derpies based on bookish quotes before the campaign, or at least during it. But here's a peek at the full collection so far:

As always, backers will vote on which ones to unlock and I will make an 11th backer inspired derpy as well, once we hit that stretch goal. So start thinking of favourite bookish quotes you'd like as derpies! And share them in the comments!

I had a lot of fun drawing the stretchgoal bookshelf for these Derpies and can't wait to share it with everyone in January 😉. (Though you can see it on my Patreon in the meantime.)

You can follow the campaign here:

Like before, I will have early bird stickers and returning backer stickers. I will have a limited super early bird 10 pin tier again and returning backers will be invited to early access 24 hrs before the campaign launches.

So keep your eyes on your emails on January 22nd.

My next update will likely be when the pins arrive in January, so I wish you all a wonderful holiday season and happy new year!

I look forward to making more derpies for you in the new year! (And even the possibility of a derpy art book in the pin style art! Thanks to a backers' suggestion!)

Yours in art,
Therena

PS: here's my son's campaign to follow as well to claim this Curious Inky Derpy set when you back us both:
