Another quick update tonight to say that I've fixed up the surveys after some Smoke Test feedback and have now sent the finished Survey out to all of you!
Check out your pledge via the project page to fill it out!
I've also had some photos from my patch manufacturer and I'd love your help on which sample version of the Displacer Beast patch I should go with! Here are the two samples:
They have a limited range of puple threads. On the first one I felt the background was too white, but on the second one there's maybe not enough ontrast in the colours, so I'd love for you folks to vote on which version you prefer!?
First off, I am SO sorry it took me so long to get surveys out! I ran into a bunch of admin issues with the set-up and it's taken a lot longer than I anticipated! It's all sorted now and I've sent the Smoke Tests (test surveys to a small number of backers) today. I'll send the full surveys in a couple of days once I've had feedback on any remaining errors from the smoke test.
In the mean time I have also been busy sampling and designing! My patch many sent me a new preview photo of the Displacer Beast patch: Isn't he cute!?
I've also finished the pin and sticker designs for Chimera-Falin form Dunmeshi and of the six Dungeon Crawler Carl characters I wanted to get drawn up!
Here is the finished set of four Dunmeshi-inspired pins:
and here's the finished set of Dungeon Crawler Carl inspired pins, which will all be 1.5":
And here are the sticker versions for the whole lot too:
I'd love to know what you think of the new designs!? In hindsight I probably should have made these into a seperate campaign lol but we live and learn. Thank you for bearing with me! I'll keep you updated on the production progress!
(For any followers who didn't back the campaign, you can grab all these fan pins and stickers from the now open Pre-Order store!)
I thought I'd do a quick update for you today because I'm running a bit later than usual with sending out your surveys. This delay is caused by uncontrolled impulses to make more art first and I apologise for my lack of restraint! 😅🙏
Basically I couldn't resist the urge to draw up some Dungeon Crawler Carl designs after all and add them as Add-On options for the survey alongside the Meshi-inspired ones you voted for, and I'm also working on the larger Chimera-Falin Meshi pin I mentioned in earlier Updates, but I'm not quite done with everything yet.
So far I have DCC pin and sticker designs finished for Katia, Big TIna, and Samantha, and I have sketches for Carl, Donut, Mongo, and Meshi's Chimera-Falin on the go. Here are the three girls I've finished as pins: And as stickers: I hope some of you will love these and that you won't be too bothered by waiting another week for Surveys? 😅🙏
Thank you so much to all of you that have backed the campaign already! I'm so happy that people enjoy my lil guys!
This week I've managed to get the third Dunmeshi inspired pin finished! Here are all three of the Dunmeshi designs so far; Basilisk, Barometz, and Griffin:
I'm going to work on a larger pin for chimera-Falin next, though I'm also itching to work on some of my Dungeon Crawler Carl sketches.
I've also ordered in the DnD critter sticker versions so I thought I'd share some photos with you so you can see how they look irl:
I hope you like all the shiny details! :D If you haven't already you can grab all of these as Add-Ons via the campaign. There's only 5 days left to go!
I've been a bit swamped with work recently (and fun chronic health flares) so I've only managed to finish two of my four planned Dunmeshi inspired pins so far. Since the campaign launches tomorrow I thought I'd at least share those two with you now and I'll work on the other two when I'm back from Birmingham MCM next week! :D
Here's a Basilisk and a Barometz for you:
I hope you love them! XD Here's a look at the whole collection together so far:
