Hello! I am so sorry for the delay in updating you all. I ended up moving across the country and dealing with some setbacks along the way, and my plushie manufacturer was also backlogged from so many orders and that also added to the delay. But we're back on track!
Here is the most recent prototype they sent me. There were a couple of changes I made to the design; the ears now have a little folded detail on the inner edge and the skull has been moved to the center. I requested some adjustments to the shape of the skull and to smooth out the sides of Shadow's face, which I hope to receive an update on very soon! When I get one that I feel truly brings the art to life, I will approve it and then it will go into production. You'll get more updates on each step going forward. My goal is to get this moving as fast as I can so I can get these into your hands asap!
Just a quick little reminder to fill out the survey if you haven't already. Looking to lock in orders and get a final count by the end of this week so I can move into the production phase asap.
I'm having my plush manufacturer make a couple of small changes to Shadow to make the face not as flat near the nose/mouth area and refine the shape of the skull accessory. I think these small changes will be a big improvement and make Shadow even cuter!
