from the world of my favorite childhood book series, these weighted plushies are passionate fanart pieces for everyone to also enjoy! 24 inch long weighted dragons !!
This is my OC Starburst! She will be the little mascot for this campaign!
Dragons, and specifically dragon novels (these plushies are artistically distinct :3) have been a big part of my childhood. I want to give back to everyone my own passions as a kid and love for these dragons still! These dragons were pretty much the first thing I ever started drawing in a practiced way, so I owe a lot of my current art skill on the passion for these dragons as a child!
I’m so excited to share my designs with you all! After these initial 10 are unlocked, I have plenty of stretch goal ideas for color schemes and hybrids of each species! So there’s an endless possibility for these plushies! Here is the current progress on the first samples! The tropical dragon is not the final, as the snout will be a bit longer, but the rest of them is perfect!
There will be some changes to the proportions of the snout embroidery!
Some color changes will need to be made but the overall shape is completed!
Each goal will be unlocked according to the poll results! Some had ties so I just ordered them based on which one I liked better out of the tied ones! The goals will be unlocking every $2500! If every goal is met, I will hold more polls for extra stretch goal designs! I have plenty of ideas such as hybrids and other color schemes! pay over time is also available!
Add ons offered are usually designs I have had previously up on my website to offer up for more funding for the plushies, but for these, I don’t have anymore than one keychain and one sticker pre designed (of my oc!) so I will be building some more add ons into the stretch goal funding for later goals!
If you missed the early bird time, or want the returning backer reward but aren’t a returning backer, you can also select these sticker designs by the sticker add on!
Currently offered design as both a sticker and a keychain:
These are just estimates, costs may change as the campaign ends! These estimates are just for the USA, please see a bit lower for international shipping info. The plushies are weighted so costs will be higher due to the higher than usual plush weights (and their big size!)
1 plush: $13 2 plush: $15 3-5 plush: $20 5-8 plush: $22 More than 8 plush: $25-$30
I will be looking into a better way to provide shipping to the EU but currently I will not be able to offer an in campaign pledge for those countries. I sincerely apologize, but I am just one person still figuring everything out! If there are enough inquiries for EU country shipping, I will for sure look into a permanent method to ship there!
For shipping to the UK and other international countries, I will be offering a “hold my place” pledge for a later Etsy listing. Etsy is able to calculate and pre charge VAT and other duties ahead of time, which will make your shipping much easier! I can not estimate the costs at this time.
Estimated timeline
These plushies are more detailed so they may take longer to produce than I may expect! (Also now due to the sheer quantity of different species will be made!) so this timeline is just a theorietical estimate!
Launch: March 1 End: March 31 Survey and fund collection: mid April Production: April-June Shipping to backers starts: June-July
Hiya! My name is Skye! i am currently a student of digital art and game design with a hobby for vending at conventions! im just starting my small business journey, and its started rough, but i have confidence in the future if i keep working hard at it!
i usually make my own plushies by hand (so getting a manufacturer is a new experience!) and they've been my pride and joy of my vending experiences, i love when people are so happy to receive a friend i handmade them! i still make plushies very often, but mostly just crochet! they take a lot of time and effort but it is very rewarding!
i have a passion for creature designing and found i love modeling my designs in zbrush, though they are much different from the art i tend to post, since it is usually easier to make my cutesy stuff! my art style has a wide range from realistic to chibi!

4) Check out You're done until the campaign ends and surveys go out. (unless you want to make an edit to your pledge!)
5) Manage your pledge After the campaign you'll receive an email with your survey. This is where you get to pick exactly which plushies, pins, and any other add-ons you want before finalizing your order. Once finalized you can continue to edit your order via Backerkit until orders are locked.
