Yes, sorry about the last update, I was expecting to begin to ship, but then I noticed some manufacturing things which ended up with a few reorders.
Why Didn't You Work in February?
I aimed to get working in February, but as some who follow my other projects probably heard, my Grandfather passed away. This was a very big loss for me and was the first person truly close to me to die. My grief affected me so much more than I ever could have imagined. And I feel like a good part of Feburary was just an empty fog to me. Not only that, the time between December and February is the busiest time at my full-time job, which left me with very little energy. Most days, I just went home and went to bed immediately.
I deeply apologize to everyone for that.
Custom Pets?
Yes, those of you with additional notes will get another draft of your custom stickers by Monday. :)
First off, thank you so much to everyone who commissioned a pet sticker! It means so much for me to be able to bring your pets back to you. I have about 60 or so total stickers to do, and I'm making good progress on them. I've gotten about 16 completed and confirmed, as I allow feedback in the process, which has resulted in redrawing, which I am happy to do. Please remember to let me know if the sticker is good to go, as it's important for my records before ordering!
The Enamel Pins:
I plan to have all pins in hand starting next week, so I can begin to grade them. Which may take a while, but progress is consistent!
I am super excited to make a quick update. After a bit of trial and error with my manufacturer, I finally got the pins to glow in blue! Our first attempt was nearly all white, and the second was greenish, but we finally found the perfect color! Please enjoy the photo of Luna.
At this moment, we are going full speed ahead and are on great pace with the timeline.
Custom Stickers: For those of you who got a custom sticker, I am also going to be working on those starting January 12th!
Before the holidays in the US have me busy, I wanted to make a quick update.
Surveys Due Soon!
For those of you who still need to do surveys, the due date is November 28th!
Gege's Been Funded!
Due to an incredibly generous backer, the remainder of Gege's production cost has been covered! So even if 20 sets of hers are not pre-ordered, she will still be made and will be going out to backers! At this time, Winston still needs a little more interest and pre-orders before he can be produced.
I am sorry I have not had a chance to give a full and proper update. Between a few unexpected things happening and some continuing issues it’s only now I’ve been able to get a proper reply out!
So! Let’s Get To It!
What is a smoke survey?
A smoke survey is a small percentage of surveys sent to ensure my surveys aren't missing anything. Once I get a few back to confirm everything in the survey is fine, I will send the rest out to everyone.
When Are The Survey Due Dates?
The cut-off for surveys will be November 28th.
What If I Don't Complete The Survey In Time?
Completing the survey after due date for surveys has lapsed (and after I have placed orders for the items) I can no longer guarantee which rewards will be available. So to ensure you get exactly what you want, I highly recommend completing your survey as soon as you get it.
Why Do I Need To Pay Again?
This is to pay for postage at that point. All rewards are shipped with tracking, so you'll receive your tracking information from Pirateship or whatever shipping platform I use. Additionally, you will be charged for any add-ons you have selected! :)
Can I still make Add-Ons?
Yes, during the survey, you will have the option to add more items.
When will the campaign close?
The campaign will close one month after shipping has concluded. Once a project is closed, rewards/pledges can no longer be redeemed.
Gege and Winston
And One More Announcement! I have two final pets to unlock! Meet Gege and Winston! If enough people back them, they’ll get made! If not, no charge to you!
There is Also A Pre-Order Store!
To anyone who missed the campaign there is still time to get some Dearly Departed Pins!
