I am sooooo excited to show you how Ember's design is going! There are a lot of steps when it comes to finalizing plushie designs, but essentially it goes like this:
Create illustration -> Work with a plushie designer and talk details! (This time around, we wanted to make dragons resembling our OG Snuggle Dragons) -> Discuss sizing, pricing, and budgeting for the project -> Pay the sample fees -> Revise, revise, revise!!! -> Decide if any final changes need to be made on the final plushie design -> have the sample sent to me (we are so close to this step!) -> and if enough funds are made, start bulk production!
The designs you see for Ember, Knoll, Cotton Candy, and Buttercup are all conceptualized between myself and my manufacturing team. We utilize a plethora of different programs to put together what we want the physical plushies to look like (which is what you see in my promo materials). My favorite is by far utilizing photoshop to change the color and adding details!
Below, you'll see what Ember looks like in his nearly finished form! I can't wait until he flies home to me soon :D And then to all you eventually!
NOTE: The only changes needed to be made for this design are to round the scales and elongate the snoot a little bit. But then he is all done!
With only a few days left to go until the Ember Dragon Campaign launches, I wanted to send a reminder that every Early Bird purchase will include a free Ember Dragon postcard (seen below). The Early Bird plushies also have a discount - but do not fret if you aren't able to snag one! The more dragon plushies you pledge for, the more discounted they become. :D
Please let me know if you have any questions about this campaign and I'd be happy to answer them as well!
Here's to bringing Ember and his friends to life! :D
Ember, Buttercup, Knoll, and Cotton Candy wanted to wish you all a wonderful weekend by providing you with their favorite self-care tips below. Let us know which one(s) you'll be trying in the comments :D
I am excited to announce this newest addition to the Witch Way dragon family - Ember! Ember is a glassblower, firework enthusiast, and has a love for drinking tea on a hot summer day. As a fiery dragon, Ember is in love with all things heat-related and will need a lot of snuggles underneath many layers of blankets and preferably with his own heating pad.
Thank you in advance to anyone and everyone who adopts Ember as his design will be limited edition and made in a small batch production.
