Project Update: Gorgon and TV Cat quick update
TV Cat is done and will ship to me around the end of this month, she looks great via pics.
Gorgon was made wrong. No one including me caught it in progress photos because it wasn't what I was looking for. They completely changed the UV print pattern on her hair, the gradient is inconsistent now and goes top-down instead of aligning with the direction of the snake hair, so most of it is purple.
The manufacturer is really upset at me over not noticing (keeps repeating "but you approved the proof") and is really unlikely to agree to remakes. I'm still negotiating because they never should've sneakily changed the art on me like that after I told her it had come out well in the sample, and all I wanted was for it to be more vibrant (adjustment of color gamut). I did tell her I have serious issues with memory due to poor health which is true and that did nothing in my favor. She was nearly $6 per pin to get produced so I can't afford remakes on my own.
I'm really beating myself up over it because the end quality of the pin is good but this is wrong and I feel so stupid for not noticing. I almost never miss proof details like this but this is the 2nd I really screwed up on because of being sent them the week of Cupcake's death, I should've taken that time off work but wanted to keep the ball rolling. Don't have an excuse for not noticing the change in progress images. No one I showed them to noticed either, I think the lighting and blurriness contributed because it's super obvious in person.
I can't ship anything with Gorgon in it right now so I'll have to wait for TV Cat and the other manu's remakes before I can do much else. I'm sorry.
