Polls Open for next stretch goal designs!
Hi all!
Thank you so much for all the wonderful suggestions on my previous post for what critters you want to see next! I knew you guys would have great ideas I didn't consid...
Hi all! Hope you've been doing well! Wanted to pop in with a bit of an update on the progress of the campaign as all the stickers and keychains have arrived! Pins are still in production and will take some time, some of the more complex designs I sampled first, but still wanted to share. Before we get into that I have a couple of housekeeping items to address
Pre-Orders
If you missed the campaign and are interested in any of the items, my pre-order store is still open which you can find HERE! Pre-Orders will remain open until I have all the products in hand, I'll be giving a heads up when I close the store. This is your last chance to get any of the campaign items at a discounted price, as the price will be updated as well as some items having limited stock once the campaign fulfillment is complete.
Survey Completion and Payments
Just a reminder to double check that your survey is complete and your payment will be updated. I cannot fulfill any order which doesn't have all information provided. Furthermore, if you fail to complete your survey or update your payment before the campaigns closure your pledge will be forfeit and any funds will be counted as a donation. No exceptions.
Surveys will lock once I have all items in hand. I want to wait until I post in hand photos of all the completed pins incase you guys want to do any further alterations to your order after seeing the final product! After that I'll charge cards for shipping + post campaign add-on fees. Again I'll give an ample amount of heads up to get your finances squared away
Pin WIPs
Here are some supplier images of some of the pins and how they're coming along! Please note that some of these are NOT COMPLETE and still have some work to be done or are subject to change! I wrote some notes for each design in the captions
Whalefall WIP, still needs translucent overlay and screenprint accents
Chimaera Shark, completed sample
Snipe Eel: doing some tweaks on the final printing on the face
Bristle Worm: Needs final epoxy coat
Sea Pig: Needs Screenprint details
Gulper Eel, unfinished plating and polishing
Keychains
Here's some images of all the keychains I took! Sorry they aren't super great quality, I'm awful at photos, but I hope they can get the idea across! I wanted to wait until it was sunny out to take outdoor photos, but haven't had great weather here.
To see a video of the whalefall liquid keychain moving + in my hand you can view this video on my bsky account HERE!
Whalefall Liquid Keychain
Black Swallower Keychain: Front has epoxy glitter sparkle
Siphonophore Keychain: Front has fireworks sparkle and epoxy
Mini phone Charms: Each has epoxy glitter on the front
Stickers
Again sorry for any lower quality pics, tried my best! Some of these stickers are hard to capture but should get the idea across. Please note that these are stickers that I kept for my own personal collection. They include some minor defects like discolored print or creases, but whatever you receive will be of highest quality.
Viperfish Glossy Holo rainbow, photo looks a bit washed out because of the darker colors and glossy surface but final product is rich in color
Vent Snail Matte Mirror effect, need to reprint this one I ordered it way too small lmao
Barreleye Matte Mirror surface
Frilled Shark Matte Mirror surface. This one has darker colors but was pointed up for the mirror effect to shine on it better and capture more details
Black Swallower Semi transparent glossy
Anglerfish Glossy Holo
Snipe Eel matte mirror
Oarfish Glossy Chunky Glitter: idk if I really like how this turned out, I likely will get this printed with a different effect to look more subtle. I think the chunky glitter kinda takes from the detail, but if you guys like this I'll keep it as is!
Phew I think that's about it for now! Hope you guys have a great rest of your day and see you again soon! Thanks so much for your patience and support!
Hello! I'm trying to put my payment through and get access to the survey but I don't think its been sent to me yet. Will i be able to put in my order? Thanks!
Hey all! Wanted to update and let you know that Surveys are being sent out! Please keep a close eye on your email for the notification and try to get your surveys complete in a timely manner! Once I have about 80% of surveys complete, I'll start production for all items :)
Surveys will stay unlocked up until closer to fulfillment time, so you'll be able to update your pledges, address, and other information for a good while. When we get closer to that time I'll provide more updates and give you a heads up so you can be ready for when your survey gets locked and cards get charged for any additional fees.
Just a reminder to ensure your payments are valid and your transaction went through. I emphasize this as a reminder that if your survey isn't complete or paid in full I cannot ship any items to you. If the campaign completes and closes before you get your survey or payment fixed then your reward will be considered a donation and you will not receive any items.
Regardless, you'll have plenty of time, and I'll ensure frequent updates through the process as a reminder. I'm anticipating a 2-3 month production time for all items, but this estimate can change based on a variety of different factors.
That's all for now, thanks so much and have a wonderful rest of your week!
