Project Update: Production Update and a Glimpse at some Art!
Hello Everyone!
The Pin Saga Continues with the dragons continuing on their cosmic journey with some bumpy space debris along the way. There’s been some miscommunication, mold mishaps, and rogue colors. In each instance, we’re working closely to make sure things are done right! All this back and forth may push out the time that the pins land in our workshop to somewhere closer to September.
Timeline Update:
Mid-August - September: Pins Land at the Studio
September - Grading, Pledge Manager Re-Opens, and Address Updates
October - Dragons take flight on their Journey to your doorstep!
September is one of our busiest parts of the year. This year we have three shows in that month (SacAnime Summer, Rose City Comic Con, SJmade Illo Mart). Rest assured, we’ll be working as fast as we can to make sure these marvelous pieces reach you in a timely fashion. Should anything else happen, we’ll be certain to update you.
All that aside, we have some more photos to share of the process:
Black hole dragon is looking Stellar!
And they GLOW!
Big Piece in the Works:
While drifting in the void, I’ve decided to dive into putting together an art piece featuring of all the planet dragons and the morning star dragon. I’ll be sending out updates on my Newsletter as I make progress.
You could be out exploring the universe, but here you are with us. Thank you so much for taking the time today to read our update.
May your skies be filled with dragons!
Until next time,
Arielle + Ryan

Project Update: Pin Production Update!
Hello everyone!
Last time we updated you, we were hitting the “Send to Production” button. Since then, the steady march of time forward has been filled with preparing for future projects and of course…waiting (a little more patiently than we’d like).
Production is moving forward, and these pins are taking their time, it’s for good reason. They’re big, they’re beautiful, and there’s a lot of them (about 2800).
Below, you’ll find some behind-the-scenes shots from our manufacturer. Keep in mind, these are mid-process and these pictures are taken in not so good conditions. Colors and finishes will evolve as they move closer to completion.
Like cookies on a cooling tray!
A few quick notes:
- UK Backers: We haven’t forgotten about you! We’ll be reaching out when we get closer to shipping to sort out details.
- Failed Payments: If your payment method didn’t go through, please check your card info ASAP so we don’t have to leave anyone out when it comes to finally ship.
We know the wait hasn’t been easy. We’re working closely with the manufacturer to make sure everything comes out stellar. ✨
Thank you for your patience and support. More updates are coming soon!

Project Update: Production Update: Pins Are Underway! Plus, Help Shape Our Next Campaign!
Hello wonderful backers!
Great news! Our planets have aligned and made their way to production! Admittedly, it took a bit longer than we’d hoped to finalize the design files. Turns out, 23 pins is a lot of detail to perfect. That said, we’re thrilled to see them come to life.
Quick Housekeeping:
If you’re among the few who’ve filled out the survey, but your card is still declining, please double check your payment method. We won’t be able to ship your pins without a successful transaction. Drop us a message if you need help resolving this at [email protected]
While that cooks, we hope to turn attention to other matters. For our next pin campaign (it’s a long way out) we have some ideas in the pipeline and need your help. What are your favorite dungeon monsters? Poll ahead!
If you want to follow what new designs and projects we’re whipping up, make sure to sign up for our newsletter for weekly art in your inbox! Thank you for joining us on this journey.
Until next update!

Project Update: A Mini Update and Failed Payment Reminders
Hello wonderful backers!
First off, Thank you for flooding in with your surveys! We’re already at 89% completion, which is fantastic!
We plan on locking the surveys April 30th. That leaves five days left. Please fill out surveys as soon as you can. This will help us have accurate numbers sent to manufacturing. Make sure to forward the preorder store around before we close up to those you think would be interested in some cozy fantasy art.
We plan on charging cards on Friday, May 2nd.
Some things to watch out for:
- Incorrect Payment information
- Insufficient Funds
- Bank is blocking payment due to suspicious activity.
- Unsupported payment type for the provided payment
What are we up to right now? We’re cleaning up design files and putting together the final design data sheets we provide to our manufacturers. With so many files, we need to make sure these are well put together for clear communication. So far it’s going pretty smoothly and will have these done soon.
Onward to May! 🎉
