As some of you probably noticed, the campaign reached $30k! I'm so blown away by the support on this campaign. $30k is a new milestone for me, and as promised, have unlocked a pin banner as a stretch goal to celebrate! **PLEASE NOTE THIS ARTWORK IS NOT FINAL!!** This art will change slightly before going to print. The trees pictured are just free assets I downloaded to use for the campaign graphics, so for the actual printed product, I will be drawing trees from scratch to use as the background instead. But I wanted to make a mockup to show you guys at least an idea of what the banner will look like.
The artwork on this banner is not final! I will be tweaking the tree silhouettes in the background.
I also don't have the exact specs yet, but you can expect it to be at least big enough to fit the whole Cryptid Crushes pin set including all the pinups and mini pins, with room for more! Once I get a quote from the manufacturer, I'll be able to give more details on materials, size, etc.
A couple notes about availability:
I will give backers in the All-In pledge level the option to receive the banner as part of their order at no additional cost, but I realize that it's possible not everyone in the All-In tier will want it, so I will also have the option for All-In backers to opt out of receiving it.
For all other pledge levels, this banner is now available as an add-on. You may add it to your pledge now, or you can add it during the post-campaign survey.
For ALL backers (including All-In) who order this banner, please note that it may increase your shipping cost since I'll need to use a bigger box to ship it with the rest of your rewards.
Sticker Sheet
I also finally mocked up the artwork for the sticker sheet!
Same as with the banner, I will be editing the background of the sticker sheet slightly once I get a new tree line drawn. It should look very similar, but I want to draw my own trees instead of using the free ones I downloaded. :)
Postcards
With the banner and sticker sheet 90% done, that just leaves the postcards as the main artwork I have to get done. At the rate I draw, I will not be able to finish all the postcard art before the campaign ends, but I'll be working on it as hard as I can over the next few weeks. I will very likely be doing more streams while I work on the postcards, but I don't want to spam the update section every time I stream, so if you're interested in watching them please keep an eye on the posted schedule on the main campaign page under the campaign title.
Post-campaign preorder/add-on store items
I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up now that there are a couple items I'm going to be posting up for preorders in the preorder and add-on store after the campaign is done. Right now, all I have planned is to do a recolor of the cross-collab pin of my character Azazel with his original colors, and I also want to add a "cryptid smut" book pin that matches the books in the previous campaign I just did in February.
I'll share the art of these two pin additions later on, I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up now!
That's it for this update! As always thanks for your tremendous support, I'm so excited with how this campaign has gone so far. Let's make the last 5 days awesome!!
