Checking In + Remi Razzles Poll (yes another one ;__;) !
Hello Cookie Crew!!!
I just wanted to check in. Not a lot has changed. Our agent is ill, and she informed the next prototype would still be a few days out, so... there isn't...
I am so excited about her and I want her to have the perfect name, but I also want everyone to be happy with it too, and the poll is so divided and I've been thinking of even more names hahah fhfhfhf
I was thinking Seasi (Like Cici) Starpop the Sea Serpent which is really weird, probably. Or just Sea Starpop the Sea Serpent.
I really backed us into a corner with the alliterations.
I may do another poll with the two top winning names and just... see how some of you would vote again with only two options.
I don't knowwww.
Did any of you have plans to rename your nessie?? What are they!?
I will be back shortly with an official update soon, too!! We have unlocked so much, and I have to share it with you guys.
Thank you again for being here, helping me make this dreamy idea flourish. Even if we're a little stuck on Nessie right now. hehfhfahfjg
Me Updates skip if you want hahafhfhfh: First off, thank you for all the kind words regarding my grandma. It's very stressful as she gets older and battles COPD. Every hospital stay weighs on me and they've been becoming more frequent. Fortunately, she is back home and on medications for pneumonia, and she already seems a lot better! ^^
Manufacturers are back and Remi Razzles has been paid for!
YES!!!! They're back!!!! And first thing I did was pay for Remi, which I realize has been long overdue! I apologize for that to all of you waiting on Remi. I'm so grateful for your patience, though. I have learned so much this first campaign, and I just know series 2 will run much smoother, and I will be more certain about designs I introduce. I LOVE Remi, but if I can avoid the experience Remi caused for everyone and myself, I will definitely do everything in my power to do just that haha.
I cannot wait to see their first prototype! I hope we can get the brain concept off the ground. Some of my ideas are really awesome in theory, but I just know in practice they might fall apart. Fingers crossed for now!! Cross them with meee!!
Remi Razzles
CRYPTID CRUSH ENDING 2/13 AT 3PM CST!!!
Cryptid Crush really crushing it, but there is still time to back this project if you enjoy yourself some monstery.... cryptidy... absolute cuties!! You can also get your hands on this cute keychain set I drew! I am pretty proud of it, and I love these two. I mean. Look at them...
Don't miss out!! There are tons of things unlocked already. I really think there is something for just about everyone over there!!!
OVER AND OUT!!!
That is it for now! I'll be back as soon as possible. I am going to work my absolute hardest to make sure our prototypes are done soon. If you have any questions, please email me at:
I apologize for the silence. Thing's have been a little hectic, and my grandma is in the hospital with pneumonia. We caught it early, which is great, but I'm still busy keeping her spirits up.
That said, I really have been wanting to check in. I forgot to announce here that our manufacturer is on holiday. They will be back to work on the 9th! We're almost there.
As soon as they get back I'm going to pay for Remi.
Reference -- Some Things May Change!
I'm just going to go with this reference and then we can modify them as necessary once we have the first prototype! I just beg that we all have an open mind about changes, because Remi is definitely more complicated, and I don't know how all of these ideas are going to work out haha. We will have to see!
Please keep in mind that I am honoring refunds up until the surveys close, so if at any point you just aren't happy with Remi, just shoot me an email: [email protected]
Millie and London
ALSO!!! Millie came in, and he is soooo freakin' cute. I think he is one of my favorites right now. His long hair is about what you'd expect. It's not SUPER soft, so I was going to ask and see if they can source anything similar in look, but softer. I don't know if they can, but it is worth an ask I suppose!
Other than that, though-- he is just the sweetest looking baby. I had to photograph him with London asap!!
Millie Muffin
Here he is by himself. :3c
I think that is all I have for now. I just wanted to check in!!! I'm going to push really hard once they get back from holiday so we can get these prototypes done soon. I really appreciate everyone's patience and support thus far, though!!
If you are not a part of the Discord, I really hope you will consider joining. It is a lot easier for me to throw certain updates up there than it is here. I won't stop updating here, but a lot happens over there too!!
Photos of the prototypes from the manufacturer can be very lackluster and not really show a plushies full potential. The lighting, angle, type of camera, and whether or not a plushie has been brushed and styled can make such a HUGE difference. If you are disappointed by a plushie you've looking forward to, please consider waiting until I've been able to get take photos myself! You may find that they look a LOT more appealing once they've been brushed, and lovingly photographed! If you are still unhappy, then of course, please feel free to email me and I will refund you! I just thought I would point this out, because it may not be obvious to everyone!
Madame Macaron
We are getting closer with Madame, I think! Still not perfect, but close!
Madame Macaron Edits
The shape around her eyes needs to be rounded out more, and her peanut smaller like her reference! I am hopeful that her peanut is more obvious in person and proper lighting situations than it is in this photo. It's tough, because I think the only alternative is to make it a different color...
Peanut Color Variations
I mean, the colored peanuts are cute to me too, even if it means I'd have to edit her artwork haha. I can do a poll for this?
They also made her wings much bigger! Are they too big? I don't know. Is that possible? I don't know!!
Madame Macron's big ahh wings
Paris Parfait
AHHHHH, Paris!! I never thought they'd be so difficult. I want to start out by saying, I am going to pay for a prototype with the shaved ears. We will be having a poll once I can get pictures of them side by side!
Shaved Ear Reference
That said, sourcing material for Paris' ears has been a nightmare. The fabric we originally wanted is so difficult to find, apparently, they were only able to source this weird color that definitely won't work. So I sent them some alternative ideas and they managed to get ahold of this rosebud type fabric and they made a mock up of the ear for us to see.
Ear Mock-Up + Felt Nose Alternative
They texture is cute, but the color may still be off. I have asked them for a picture in nicer lighting, but I'm still waiting haha.
I also can't work on edits for the face until they make another doll with the correct nose, and it is kind of on hold at the moment due to the holidays coming up~
Una Ube
Una has been a little bit of a challenge too, BUT I asked them to make another sample with Twilight Sparkle inspired bangs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I'm not sure if everyone who voted on the last Una poll noticed, but the horn is sewn DIRECTLY onto the hair in the clean version, which to me, looks a bit strange. I don't know how else they'd do it, so I really wanted to give everyone another option. Please only vote in the poll if you plan to purchase Una yourself~
Edit Thoughts?
Above are some edits I was thinking of. I was wondering if her nostrils were a little closer together and her mouth area was shrunk a bit if it might give her a cuter/daintier appearance. But ultimately I love her both ways, and this is nitpicking on my part. I think once she is brushed, and in proper lighting she will be so darn cute.
Longer Bangs Edit?
I also was wondering if the bangs needed to be longer? I don't know! Maybe I'm just overthinking her at this point haha.
Dotty Dragonsbeard
So, Dotty's sample with bangs and a bigger tail is finished! You can watch the video below. Because of the holidays, we're going to wait to send her out. Shipping is through the roof right now, so it's just better to wait! As much as it kills me.
As soon as she gets here, I'll style her up and take photos side by side with no bangs Dotty and we'll do another poll! Please keep in mind that the lighting in this video isn't the best. I still want to share though, because I'm so excited!!
I think that is it for now!! I'm going to be talking to our agent a lot tonight, trying to get things moving as much as I can before the Chinese New Year!! Please be sure to vote on the poll if Una is on your list, and I'll be back with more updates soon!!!
