Last Few Hours, All Designs Unlocked and Revealed!
Thank you ALL for making this campaign so successful! We've managed to unlock all of the goals! The Jayvik collar pins are still being designed but here is an updated concept...
Thank you all so much for making this campaign a complete success!
The final week of the campaign I was so sick, I wanted to do more in that home stretch and have the collar pins finished, but was only able to sketch out a concept for you all. But since we'll be waiting for the funds to release before they're ordered there was still time to work on them.
I've finished the design and I'm SO happy with how it has turned out. I am speaking to my manufacturer about metal options. Because I'm intending to have the butterfly wings be stained glass and doing some screen printing, I am unsure if the rainbow metal will work out.
I may go with an antique gold or just silver if the rainbow/blue doesn't work out. I'll keep you all in the loop and as always love to hear feedback from y'all! I'm really vibing with the gold tbh. I received a question on the last day about how to order the set.
I also REALLY bumbled the "In All Timelines" design that last week. I was running a fever of 101 and really wanted something to show you guys. BUT I've redrawn it a couple of times and feel like I've gotten it to a good spot! Like with the collar pins, I'm trying for the rainbow metal, stained glass and screen printing, but it might not work out. That one will definitively be silver if the rainbow/blue doesn't work.
Additionally, because of the detail on this pin, it will probably end up having to be larger than my initial estimate of 1.5 inches, it will be closer to the 2.5" like Pit Fighter Vi. Do not worry friends, all original backers of the campaign will be able to select it from the 1.5" tier since that was my bad. For Pre-Orders and when I sell them in the future, they will be the same price as Pit Fighter Vi. The same may happen with the Collar Pins. Updates to come after I've heard back from my manufacturer.
As I said, we have a few weeks before the funds are released and I can get the pins ordered. During that time I will be building the backer surveys and they will be sent out by the end of February. Everyone will have roughly 2-3 weeks to fill them out. March is a VERY busy month for me, I have 3 conventions! But I built that into our timeline, here is a review of it for you folks.
Thank you all again for your support, I will keep you all updated as I receive proofs, mock ups, samples of our pins and anything in between.
First and foremost, the pins ARE in production!! I sent off the final payment today and they are in the works. We finally got news there has been a 90 day stay on the 150% tariffs from China so thankfully we were able to put the order in. I had to put off the order because the cost with 150% tariffs would not have been possible. I am SO thankful we have this window to get this project made! That being said, our June timeline might be a little bit ambitious. Its looking more like we'll have everything in July or maybe August. I'm so sorry for the delay, but this tariff situation has really thrown a wrench in things. I appreciate everyone's patience and thank you all for understanding on this journey. I'm just thankful it isn't putting us TOO behind. I've also sent order lock down messages and will be charging cards for shipping and add-ons this week. Finally, I have added this design to the 1.5" pins. I wanted to make sure it wasn't going to be too expensive to make since there is so much screen printing. Is Season 2 Jayvik kiss meme! Ya'll are able to update your surveys if you'd like to add or change your choice!
Thank you all again and I look forward to keeping you all updated during the production process! ~Christa D
Hello all! I've got some updated artwork for a couple of the pin designs! I fixed Viktor’s hair on the Jayvik Kiss Meme pin, it looks SO much better. Since most of you all have now completed your surveys I was able to send the artwork to the manufacturer with numbers to get an estimate of cost. I’m a little concerned with the current tariff situation in China, but I’m hoping that we’re making it under the wire before they are enacted and my manufacturer is willing to work with us.
The art for the In all Timelines pin is also done! To keep the detail its going to be 2.5 inches like the Pit Fighter Vi pin, but as I said, anyone that backed the campaign and wanted it at the 1.5 inch level will get it as an option. Pre-orders will be for the 2.5 inch price. The mock ups for the collar pins are also finished and I wanted to show them off!
Those are all the updates I have for now! Once production begins I’ll be updating again. I’m moving next week so I may not update right away but things are moving along on schedule!
