100 pre-launch followers This was a big surprise to me. As some may know, this is my first EVER campaign project AND pin project. I had no idea how many people would have interest in something like Jurassic Peck - a very unserious campaign of doodles, parody, and experimentation.
There are currently sticker sheets with 100 bird doodles being made to celebrate this achievement. I wish I could have streamed them all but my time has been so limited that I haven't been able to get the space for enough streams. They will be finished tonight/tomorrow in time for people to add the sheets to their pledges during the surveys!
Funded in less than a week Also a surprise to me. I half expected this project not to get funded until the last possible moment. This is probably the biggest achievement out of everything. Without this project being funded within the first week, I likely would not have had anything to show for all of the work I put into Jurassic Peck.
I'm so incredibly excited for everything that comes after the event ends and for people to start receiving things that I have designed. It's awesome to think that people like my silly doodles!
(Nearly) unlocked the entire bird set With less than two days remaining, we are so close to unlocking all of the birds which is AWESOME! We are less than £150 away from the final bird - the crow- being unlocked. I'll be posting more "escaped" clues today and tomorrow in the hopes that the crow can be found and the birds can all be funded for everyone to select their favourite between them during the surveys.
If you haven't backed yet - NOW IS YOUR REMINDER BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
No bird left behind!
A big thanks
Finally I'd like to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has supported this campaign! Whether you followed before launch, gave the project a share either on social media or through word of mouth, whether you directly backed the project, or if you are another creator who gave me a shout out. Every single person who has supported this project has been crucial in it's success.
Thank you all so much!
Let's end this project with a bang... or a honk... or squawk?
I don't know who it stole a phone from but the escaped crow has sent me a message: “I am somewhere educational.” Its now demanding 100 backers on Jurassic Peck before it gives us another clue.
Thankfully we are, at the time of writing this, at 92. This means we only need 8 more backers before the crow is satisfied enough to give us the next clue on where it is.
This is Park Staff Member #47 reporting a Level Feather‑Five Emergency. Our crow — yes, the dramatic one — has escaped containment. Again. It stole my lunch, boarded public transport without paying, and is now hiding in a real‑world location.
Over the final 9 days of this project, I’ll be releasing clues as we attempt to track this menace down. The crow is only dropping clues when the project meets it's milestone demands. Talk about dramatic.
Your assistance is desperately needed. I am not emotionally equipped for another avian incident.
Clue #1 will be released shortly. Please remain calm. The crow certainly isn’t.
After a successful vote, I have now added the birdified doodles as an add-on for £35. This is a discounted version of my usual doodle commissions which are £45. This add-on will let you get a doodle of yourself, your friend, your pet, favourite character, job hobby etc but turned into a bird! if it is already a bird, I'll draw it anyway ;)
These are available now! You can add these onto your pledge during the backer survey or edit your pledge if you have already backed.
So it looks like the question of "Should I do custom doodle add-ons" has been answered with a resounding yes. Not a single no vote at the time of this update.
I will make this add-on available on Monday and will give an update when it is so all followers can adjust their pledge if they'd like to include it. Please also be aware that you will be able to add it on during the backer surveys that go out when the Pintopia event ends!
The price point is going to be a discounted version of the regular doodle price found on my Artistree. This will be £35 (discounted from the regular base £45 price). To begin with there will only be 5 available slots but if there is a lot of interest in the add-on, I will increase this!
Now to go make a preview image for the add-on and get it ready.
