Before I get to the sample pics, I need everyone to read carefully about some next steps. For people with failed payments, you have 2 weeks from the end of the campaign to fix your payment. After those two weeks, you will have a second chance to fix your payment during the survey I send out. I will send out surveys on the 26th. In the survey is where you will let me know your color choices as well as add-on choices!

FOR PAY OVER TIME BACKERS ONLY: if you selected pay over time, I will not be able to send you a survey until your payments have completed in a few months. Because of this, I need everyone who chose Pay Over Time to please fill out this google form so I know what counts I need to order: https://forms.gle/WdyncXzJ8v6A9qx78

There are too many of you for me to just guess how many Conpanions I'll need to order, so I need to get as exact a count as I can! PLEASE fill out this google form so I can have accurate counts, and so everyone will get exactly what they ordered :) if I don't get enough answers I will start going through everyone's pledges individually and emailing those who haven't responded.

It's snowing outside so I had to adjust the exposure levels, apologies for that, but here are some more photos of the different colorways!

Which one is your favorite?

Thank you for reading! Don't forget to fill out the google form if you are a pay over time backer!

Soot and Pumpkin are funded! Thank you so much to everyone who helped make them a reality!

For the surveys I have the other Spooky Terragryffs who didn't get unlocked available to unlock. We need about 25 ordered of each of them to be able to get them made.

-- Surveys --
I have the surveys almost finished. Backerkit however wants to me wait the full 14 days before I can send them out. So those will be sent out in just over a week.

I will be closing the surveys at the end of March. My goal is get production for these started by June at the latest if none of the other ones that dont have a prototype yet don't get unlocked. But hopefully sooner. A large chunk of our funds this campaign were pay over time, so I do have to wait a bit for the full amount of funds.

-- General Update --

I was a vendor at Mythicon this past weekend. The vibes were great as always, but sadly sales were way down. I only ended up barely making back my booth cost. I will be working on adding creatures to my website and holding a sale this coming week.

We will be at ZipCon in Akron, OH on February 28th vending! So stop by and say hi! And see what creatures we have looking for homes.

Hi everyone,

Quick check-in to let you all know that we are on track to send the survey next week! It's important that you fill out the survey asap! 🙏

If you have a failed payment, please contact your bank or credit card company to confirm that this is a legitimate charge and try to charge the payment again. If it's still not sorted out by then, you'll have another chance to fix it once the survey goes out.

Giving you all a preview of the survey so you know what to expect next week. We are counting on you to complete it as soon as possible so we can place the order with the manufacturer once we get an accurate count. 

Step 1 - You will first see the pledge level you purchased. On the same page, you will be asked to select your shipping location if BackerKit does not already have it saved.

Step 2 - It depends on whether your pledge level includes options. You will be asked to choose your options on that page, and you can also leave comments, feedback, or suggestions if you would like. This part is completely optional.

Step 3 - Add-on! Here is where you can pick up some extra goodies at 20% off MSRP!

Step 4 - Enter your shipping address and confirm. Shipping fee will depend on your location and whether your order includes a large 12" plush.

No, you will not. This is just to confirm the item selection so I can get a count of how much inventory to order. You can revisit your survey anytime to make changes. An email will be sent before your card is charged, so you will have time to make last-minute changes.

Estimate Timeline:
Complete Survey - By March 6
Lock Order - By the end of March
Charge Card - Some time in April
Lock Address - Before fulfillment, depending on the items

Yes! I can add you to the survey manually. Please tell me which pledge level you'd like and any add-ons you want to include. When you receive the survey, you’ll pay in full for your pledge, add-ons, and shipping.

Please reach out to me at [email protected] with the subject line: Add me to the Survey.

First and most importantly I want to send a big thank you to all my backers! This project was a bit out of the norm for me, as my designs are usually floral, so I'm very thankful that these spooky designs resonated with you. Really means a lot! And although my stretch goals were not unlocked, I will have the original 4 designs!

I will be sending out surveys in the coming days, and shortly after will start working with my manufacturer. The process of manufacturing can sometimes take a bit of time as I want to ensure my designs are going to translate as accurately as possible into a pin. I will continue to keep you all updated as that phase moves along. 

Thank you again, and keep on eye on your email in the next few days. 

- Katie

Hey friends! We have about 24 hours left on the campaign before it comes to a close. This doesn't mean you still can't pledge, however! I will be opening up a pre-order store as soon as the campaign ends where you will be able to pre-order the Conpanion at the campaign price for a little while, although pre-ordered Conpanions won't come with the free enamel pin and free reusable tote bag. So if you want those freebies, get your pledges in now before the campaign ends!

So, you may be thinking, how do I get to choose my color for the Conpanion?? Great question! I have to wait two weeks after the campaign ends to give everyone a chance to fix any failed payments. Once these two weeks have passed, I will be sending out a survey to all backers EXCEPT pay over time backers, where you can choose your color as well as any add-ons you might want. Remember that each Conpanion comes with TWO insert sets: one black set (unicorn comes with white) and one matching set.

IMPORTANT: For pay over time backers, I won't be able to send you a survey until your final payment goes through in May. In the meantime, I will be linking you to a google form where you can tell me what you're planning on choosing in the survey. This is so I can have a better estimate on what kind of counts I need to order. Since there are over 200 of you, that's a LOT of data that I'll be missing out on from the initial surveys, so it's important that you fill out this google form once I send it to you! I will send you a separate link after the campaign ends.

That's all for now! If anyone will be at Katsucon this weekend, I will be there in the artist alley at booth B21 where you can come check out the Conpanion in person!

A tremendous THANK YOU to everyone who has backed this campaign. I truly wouldn't be able to make these without you. Large products like this are so, so difficult to fund out of pocket, so it makes me to happy to see how many of you are enjoying all the different colorways and hearing about how you're so excited to bring these to cons with you!

Until the next update!
