Surveys are out soon! Plus general updates.
Hello everyone!!
I've been tinkering with the surveys and adjusting add-ons as we confirmed inventory and production schedule with the manufacturer. I think we're ready to s...
Firstly, survey's were supposed to lock on May 31st but we had some kinks to work out. I think I about have all of those settled so expect to see that lock notification and payment methods to be charged ASAP!
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Production update!
Everything is mostly going smoothly but there has been some speed bumps. The good news first:
Batch of cyber hatchlings
Batch of imperial hatchlings
Look at all of our Hatchlings! At least 2 of the original 3 designs, they look amazing don't they!?
Production for the new Hatchlings will begin soon! We'll be locking down the ability to order them here shortly as our production numbers for these are limited. So if you're waiting - don't much longer!
But that brings me to our trouble child... Constellation. The manufacturer, thankfully, found a serious issue with them before shipping (but sadly after production finished). It seems the holographic leather isn't holding onto the printing. But don't worry: we've already discussed and figured out a solution!
Constellation Hip Hatchlings will be delayed! The printing on them will be screen-printed rather than UV printing. Because the bags have to be completely remade we're going to need more time before we can get orders containing Constellation on the way. When everything starts shipping you can let us know and provided you cover the shipping, we can separate your other items that are ready.
Expecting to push shipping for Constellations out to November/December. As soon as we're able we'll nail down a better time frame for you all!
Thank you everyone!!
As always, any questions, please let us know in the comments! ~ Straya
Thank you for your patience as we navigate how world events are affecting ArtofSO and the Companions. We're trying not to make any big decisions/announcements until we see numbers and how it will impact us. ArtofSO will NOT add any "tariff fees" or whatnot to backer orders, no matter what!
Pledge question surveys will LOCK DOWN on May 31st, 2025!
If there are major issues or delays from ME I will push it back as needed.
OK so the BIG news! Yes, you're seeing that correctly!!
SIX new Hip Hatchlings are being made available FIRST to all of you! We worked with our manufacturer on a deal so we could lower our minimum quantities and bring more Hatchlings to the adoption page (store)...
Dracolich
Galaxy (2.0)
Pride
Pumpkin
Skeleton
Void (CONCEPT)
PLEASE READ: If you previously added Dracolich or Pride to your pledge/preorder you WILL BE CHARGED for them when surveys close on May 31st! If you remove them from your preorder, you will not be able to re-add them at the bigger discount ($90), they will be at full retail ($125), choose wisely!
Dracolich and Pride will be an OPTION added to backer survey questions (choose to switch your question answers OR add them to your pledge separately)
Original campaign prices will be honored for campaign backers
Galaxy, Pumpkin, Skeleton, and Void are ONLY available as add-ons/preorders - this goes for campaign backers and preorders both
We're sorry but Silver didn't make the cut this time (out voted by Void)
The prices of all Hip Hatchlings will be at full retail ($125) on ArtofSO.com but there will be a discount applied for anyone ordering here through BackerKit!
There is a limited amount of inventory with this deal (and our budget)
Expect see things being added over the next day or two!
If I didn't cover your question/concern here, I'm human remember, ask away! You can email for an urgent concern. Don't stress if you don't see a fix/answer right away, issues will be resolved before anything is locked!
Thank you everyone!! I hope you're excited about this news, I know I am!! <3 ~ Straya
So if I want to change out the pay I chose for the pride bag how do I say that on the survey? Because it will charge me for the price of the original bag on top of the pride bag to make it show on my survey. But I only want one.
I apologize that I forgot to add photos to all of the pledge questions when they launched, but if you check your surveys there should be photos for just about everyone!! Feel free to change your answers if needed. =)
Some photos are missing, it will be a bit before I can add them: Full Size - Holo Black, Full Size of the Eastern series. I will verify the digital concept is as accurate as possible and upload those soon!
Convention soon!!
Come say high, peep at the Hip Hatchling (and all other Companions) at FWA in Atlanta, GA THIS WEEKEND!
FWA 2025 Vendor Hall Map
We will have preorders available for Dracolich and Pride Hip Hatchlings at FWA, the others are not currently available for order. The preorder store will remain open until the end of May - more info regarding that when we return!
Hip Hatchlings:
Production on the original 3 Hatchlings has begun! 80% of you gave us your surveys quickly, thank you!! We estimated best we could so we could get things started. But don't worry we're NOT locking surveys yet, but please help us out by not changing answers too often. <3
We can still unlock the Dracolich and Pride Hip Hatchlings!! The manufacturer is waiting for me to give them the go ahead (and moolah lol)! But, we're expecting to either have to ship them separately or delay shipping any orders with them. We'll let you all know what our options are once we know!
Take a look at ALL the Hip Hatchlings I hope to make available one day!
Note that the samples we'll be showing were made BEFORE the lower ring changes.
Here is a quick glance at the other Companions:
Please note that "Galaxy 1.0" is the original galaxy design. The unlockable Hip Hatchling variant is a BRAND NEW artwork revamp and they will be different from each other!
Dragonfruit
Galaxy 1.0
Malicious
Pastel
Pride
Pumpkin
Scribbles (pearlescent white leather)
Skeleton
Void
Cyber:
Wing Wallet
Full Size
Mini
Constellation:
Wing Wallet
Full Size
Mini
Imperial (not available in mini):

Silver:
Please note that Silver has taken some time to find their true self! The color differences you see in photos are accurate. But they do hope to have found themselves in the Hatchling and hopefully we'll see full size and mini appear anew one day!
