A smoke test is a survey sent to ~5% of backers across all pledge levels to make sure everything is functioning correctly. If everything checks out, the remaining surveys will be sent.
Working on surveys now so hopefully they will be sent out by the weekend.
I would like to note that if for some reason there is a sticker you want that I somehow managed to miss adding, please let me know. I don't mind just writing on your papers and adjusting your orders I print to include what you're after.
I have new stickers arriving on February 20th that are on the backend of this project and I still have to place one more sticker order but I am finishing the lineart for those.
I really didn't expect these but here are some pics of the pin samples. I need to double check one of the colors but they look okay so far. Screenprint I did pay for but factories are on break (I think??) but I didn't check IG and just saw the photos. = X
I posted the videos in discord and on FB since I can't share them here. The small corgi pin won't have a sample since I will be using the same colors for it as the larger pins.
Frankencorgi Keychain Plush First an update because I misunderstood what I was told:
From my manufacturer
So I thought they would arrive to me on March 10th not be finished. That really makes me sad since that means they will not be ready for Anime Detour. If you're local and doing local pickup and had planned to get it at Detour please let me know (email/discord/FB) and we can work something else out. I don't mind driving around the cities (normally). If you live here you know the severity of just even being near them atm, so we can figure that out once I do have all the products in hand.
Now for the more fun stuff!
Introducing Piper - Sable Corgi So I know you guys have been asking me for Merle and Sable corgi designs for awhile. Since I'm inspired and actually in a nice workflow moment for art right now, I finally designed a new character!
I would like to introduce Piper to you all! She is a sable pembroke (no tail). I assume her markings are probably a little too complex for easy plush, but I will talk with my manufacturer once they are back from holiday. Her markings are subject to change slightly.
Her sticker will not be available until my manufacturer is back since I do want to make sure she's not too complex to plush and keychain. Love is year round anyways, not just in February.
Either way, your voices have been heard and I hope you like her!
Gotta get some sticker designs finalized and ordered this week so I can finish up the pledge manager.
