Project Update: First substantial batch dropped off at PO
Packages sent out Friday (meant to publish it that day, oops!!):
My backers: 17
Backers of both me and Cryptic Compendium:10
Total: 27 (27% of pledges that actually were paid for via campaign + survey)
Not as much of a dent as I planned to make BUT at least it's >1/4 of the way there. I sorely underestimated something: how much it would hurt my hand removing and replacing the rubber clutches and even just the fine motor skills of having to pinch at small things. Should've anticipated it because typing hurts but it REALLY caught me off guard somehow. I feel really embarrassed about how helpless this is making me. I'm trying a new med, have some procedures/tests booked for Jan and Feb to narrow down the issue, and hope I get some real answers soon. Winter always makes arthritis much worse for me but heat isn't helping, so I think this is primarily my nerve issues ⁉️ . . .
All that being said I'm pretty much at my first "wall" for fulfillment. The ones that can go out without Baphomet and Elfling were almost all covered in this first batch...TV Cat will ship to me soon with remakes of C's blue moth pin but Gorgon is shipping to me next week with Demon, Golem, and the first of his candy moths! So I should be able to get another ~dozen pledges out (after they're graded) for this campaign and also a few for the 2nd! Baphy and Elf and the Ghouls they shorted me on will probably take a while again... they only JUST started the remakes this week apparently. 🫠
Those who qualify for the bat coins will be receiving them in their order from Fantasy Fox Creations!
Honestly, looking at these girls, even though I'm mega bummed about the flaw rate I'm actually quite proud and even more grateful. I've always been very shy to show character illustrations which is why I mostly focus on "designs" (vagueness intentional because I'm truly all over the place creatively).
Next update I'll include a bunch of pictures of the finished pins together, since I should at least have Gorgon in stock then as well!
Here's what I got sent of her before I got shipment notification! The purples and greens do seem to work together much better now, so sampling was a great idea and I'm glad I did it!
Thank you so so so much for being a part of this!! I should have remake updates soonish 🤞
