Back to back events are much harder to work around than I expected. We did Tidewater, Convergence and then just got back from Kitsune Kon on Sunday night pretty late.

I spent Monday sort of unwinding, unpacking and doing my blogs, Tuesday I was packing orders from the weekend and working on the Kitsune revisions (which I submitted again last night) + cleaning house bc it needs it and today I am working on this project again.  I saw shipping price increases have officially gone into effect 7/13.

Either way, don't panic about surveys just yet. I will probably start production on the freebie pins and waffle pins today. I had those prepared and ready, I have to finalize artwork for the remaining designs so I can't send surveys out until then. We have 109 backers with several being wonderful creator backers at a support tier, so I will have more than enough pins to cover everyone even starting some early unless someone does like 100 of the same pin design as an addon for some reason. Not that I would complain.

Feel free to make more Nebula food dragon requests here while I work through the existing designs. I know I completely forgot about pizza despite having some sketches so I will probably add that next campaign. You guys can fight over toppings (I do in fact like pineapple on pizza lols but also prefer pepperoni even though I shouldn't be eating any bc it makes me sick).

Oh one last thing - I will be making stickers of all the designs but they will just be available from my website. I am really sad that postage is now like 78 cents! I should have bought a million of those forever stamps. Who would have thought mailing snail mail would be closing in on a dollar. Oh well. I may have to rethink free shipping as a thing in the future for that stuff, but we shall see.

I leave you with a snoozing Chip.

Thank you for your patience! :D I have not quite gotten the con/work-life balance thing down so it's a good thing I won't be going this crazy next year.

Good afternoon!

Sorry for not updating yesterday, we got back from Tidewater and were super tired. I will be working on this the next few days around Convergence, so please bear with me. I just wanted to quickly update so people weren't in a panic. I overscheduled myself with 3 back to back conventions so just know surveys and final art are all being worked on behind the scenes. 

I'll try and advertise to the people at Tidewater, but this ends pretty soon. 

My husband will get the backend set up and approved by Backerkit sometime in the next two weeks (maybe a week it'll depend on if we mess anything up lol) and then send out surveys. 

I'll get the artwork finished on the regular burger and nuggets as soon as I can. I'd draw on regular paper but I had sketches I can't even find from Momocon still lol. It had several suggestions from you guys and people at the event and things we came up with while sitting around at the con. = ( Either way they won't be finished until after this project closes but they should be finished before surveys get sent out. The hardest part is always trying to decide where to put Nebula with the foods.

If you have questions, feel free to ask! I'll be working all weekend but still checking this and discord.

I realized after the event yesterday and heat exhaustion recovery today that I have like two or three back to back conventions with no breaks.

Since I draw these at my computer, whatever I don't finish tomorrow probably won't be worked on again until I am back for Convergence (bc it's local).

All that is missing is the burger and chicken nuggets. I will get what I can done though.

And yeah don't be me. Drink water. = p You're welcome to read about my very exciting food truck festival experience if you'd like here: https://robotdragon.studio/blogs/news/hopkins-food-truck-festival-2025

I walked away with 93 cents in profit. :D I'm rich!

Anyways, sorry for being a little more behind than I planned!

Edit 6/23/2025:

I want to fix the scales more later, but this works for me for now imo.
