Never did I ever believe my dragon designs would inspire so much passion when I first drew them last spring! You guys have been nothing but enthusiastic and endlessly supportive!
This could not have been achieved without YOU!!!
We have already soared past this crazy number and keep climbing in the last hours of the campaign!
That being said, we smashed through so quick, I wasn't able to reveal the last and final Limited Edition dragon for the campaign - until now - THE GOLD DRAGON!!!
With fancy filigree patterns and sparkles all over, this hefty Wonder is sure to dazzle the skies!
------
As we come to the end of the campaign, some housekeeping things 1.) Cards will be charged at the end of the campaign, which is midnight tonight PST (December 31st, 2024) 2.) Backer Surveys to collect shipping addresses and color choices for your tier will go out ASAP. I hope to have them in your inboxes by the end of the week (first week of January). 3.) Final prototypes of Bold Rainbow, Wittles, and Warmables will be revealed as soon as they are finished, which should also be within the next week or so. 4.) The option to change your pledge tier post-campaign has been TURNED ON as discussed in a Discussion thread, but I am repeating it again here so those who have last minute changes can do those changes.
No one's choices of colors are locked in until far after prototypes are revealed, so no worries on selecting a color quickly if you are not confident of your choice until a actual plush is shown live in living color! Additionally, an approximate budget will be shown as payments and accounts are finalized in the coming weeks for full transparency. A bulk of the money will go toward pure production (+overseas shipping) of the plush, especially to have lots of inventory post-fulfillment of the campaign, but some will go toward warehousing, insurance (both for the shipping containers and the product once it reaches the warehouse), wages for helpers (forklift drivers, warehouse staff, customer service, etc) many of which are the family and friends shown in the 'About the Artist' section, but some of who will be hired on temporarily for the initial fulfillment push. We will have a better idea of the budget breakdown after the dust of the campaign is settled. This will take a little bit of time as me and BackerKit work together to pay for AdSpend, their commission, and their platform fee, and any and all transaction fees.
We are still 100% on track with the given schedule posted on the campaign page, but I will again post here:
Thank you all for your overwhelming support and I will have my finger on the pulse of everything in the final hours and in the days ahead to keep you all in the loop!!!!
