I received 2 samples of different stages and confirmed everything with some small changes. The clothing fits amazing, I asked factory to add one more velcro to her second top, so it can be put on easier.
I also decided to have her strands from previous version as they are longer and look more like jinx
The shoes were made with wrong colour, you can see the right on the shoe-sample beneath (photo 2)
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the shark hoodie in the package, so no photos :( But I shared some photos of it previously, it looks great!
The main issue I faced was her hair. There is just too much :D I struggled to style it as it was massive.. So I decided to shorten it and readjust positioning of some strands. There will still be extremely long, no worries! I will let you know the updates on jinx shipping estimates
🚚Shipping updates
I've been packing and shipping Zines and plushies (Jayce and Viktor) these weeks, it took me quite a long time, because I signed and draw something in almost every book. There are still a small amount of unfulfilled orders and I will ship them this week.
Unfortunately, while figuring out the fulfillment system of Bakerkit (it's a bit complicated..) I made a mistake and all orders were marked as shipped in one day :(
To check the real status of your order
go to your order page and check 'special note' I put there. If it says 'shipped' and contains tracking, you can track it. If it just says 'shipped' - it was shipped without tracking (I will explain why this is) If there is no special note - I haven't shipped your order yet
😔Unpleasant news
Since 1st of July the german post changed shipping policies. The shipping prices for outside of eu parcels hae terribly skyrocketed.. And they also removed tracking option from small parcels :( Now if I want to ship parcel with tracking to the US or Canada, I have to pay 10 euros extra. It is very disappointing and also my fault for now following the news beforehand.
What I decided to do here.
Some of the small parcels that don't include any plushies I shipped without tracking number. I hope they will reach you regardless. If you haven't received anything in a month - please contact me ([email protected])
Orders that include Jinx plushie - I initially planned to ship jinx separately because she will take time to be produced. Now Im kindly asking you to allow me to ship Jinx and Zine together but later, so at least I will not pay twice for shipping that went really expensive now.. I will ship these type of parcels with a tracking of course. You will not have to pay any extra. In case you really desperately want your order now - please contact me directly ([email protected])
Some of you guys already received your Zines as I saw on instagram (thank you for tagging me!!^_^) and if you'd like, you could share your thoughts and feedback in the community page~ I will be happy to hear it
Please let me some time to fulfil all the orders. I am drawing something in almost each Zine and for some orders I also had to order bigger boxes. You will receive a notification and a tracking number when your order has been shipped
Thank you so much for your patience!❤️😚
💣Jinx plushie update
The bangs have been fixed and I think they are standing pretty nicely now. We fixed her mouth, eyebrows colour and colour of hair under threads. Right now we've decided to finish the second outfit and company will send me 2 samples by next Wednesday (2nd of July). I will then review them, see how the hair is looking and we'll be moving to the mass production stage finally ^^
I added 2 more spreads ^_^ (which makes to 48 pages Zine)
Received a hard cover sample and it's looking great, sooo we're doing it!
We're in mass produciton stage now🤩
💣Jinx plushie update
We've got a new version with the right hair colour yaay! (The colour of head and strands is still an old one here, will be fixed)
I added some sparkles to her eyes and more depth
hairline fixed
The hood is going to be held by a velcro! She's looking very cute wearing it ^_^
Next steps:
fixing strands colour
fixing eyebrow colour
We still need to move strands to the middle but it's a bit tricky because of the hair, so we're looking for a solution right now
new outfit (pants, top and a wristband)
We're getting close to the final, my friends🥰
🖼Posters update
Here are all the final poster designs to pick from. You can comment here and let me know which ones you want or you can also send me an email ([email protected]) stating your name and which posters you want c:
Have a wonderful weekend everyone, so excited to finally ship you items soon!!💕
It looks great! I love the material and printing quality, colours look great! There are some small things I'm addressing to the printing company now, for exmaple a thicker cover. Zine turned out to be much more pages than we initially planned and I'm taking another day to think if I want to add snother spread to it 👀
✨Let's choose a foil for the cover!
I ordered 4 types of foil for the cover to see which one fits better. There is a poll (attached to this post) so you can vote which one you prefer! I'm more leaning towards the iridiscent one, because it fits the arcane theme and I just like it :p
💣Jinx plushie update
We've finally figured the correct colour for the hair! (there was some mess with orders because a company we ordered from provided wrong colours that looked different in reality :/ But it's all over now, we've got the perfect colour for the toy, yay!) The fabrics is working on her second outfit now (the hooded one). We're figuring way to secure the hood on her neck now, trying a button or velcro). I addressed more feedback to the last iteration: - I think her eyes are a bit dull and need some sparkles - strands are gonna be moved to the right - she lacks some hair on top :D - arms need to be longer
this hair is wrong colour, but next iteration will finally be the right one!
🚚Shipping dates
I'm ordering mass production of the Zine on 14th of May and the production takes 5-7 days. I will be shipping all orders around 25th of May.
‼️Those who ordered plushies will get their plushies separately, because plushies production takes much much longer time! But everyone will get their Zine shipped together with stickers/posters/cards❤️
I will update you guys on last posters and cards in 1-2 days, working on finalising them :3 Have an amazing week and see you soon! Don't forget about the poll please :3
That's it! I've finished all the pages (including the cover). Here's a preview of the Zine. Secret pages are censored 🥰 It turned out even more than 40 pages in the end.
🌞 Next step - a sample
I've ordered a sample now with 4 variants of foiling on the cover. When I get the samples, I'll choose one that fits best and we'll start mass production. According to the factory, mass production takes around 10 days.
There's only the last card left to be designed. Also, just a reminder, the cards will be double-sided with a different print on each side. These are not 2 separate designs 😙Just in case, because some people got cofused!
We're getting there!! So exciting 💖 Wishing you all amazing rest of the week and holidays~
