I just wanted to touch base with everyone for a quick bit since I couldn't show a lot last time. This time I still don't really have a lot to show off since my manufacturer is working on the rest still in terms of mass production and wanted to show me photos of everything after it's done. A lot of the photos that they sent recently were all of the pins that I already showed off before - and while they look great - I mostly was hoping for new stuff to show :')
However - I did get two new photos - I wanted to show off Dragonite's final sample as well as show off Oshawott who is fully finished. I have asked my manufacturer to see when production will be fully complete and they mentioned that it should be finished by no later than mid July and I'm on track for an August fulfillment.
NEW KICKSTARTER:
This is also the time that I wanted to communicate that I'll be launching a new kickstarter soon called "Girls Who Really, Really Love You" and it features primarily anime girls. For many of you, the Mochimon project was probably your first introduction to me - I'm primarily an anime artist first and a Pokemon artist......... 50th or so. This was my first time drawing a lot of Pokemon, so the Girls Who Really, Really Love You campaign is more in-line with what I normally do.
It was originally set to launch in early to mid July, but it's likely that it will be launching earlier than predicted. I did want to communicate my new project not only to promote it, but rather also additionally communicate the expectations of my Mochimon project.
Please note that I am starting a new project while waiting on the fulfillment of the Mochimon pins. I want to emphasize that I am still actively working on the project but at the time of me writing this, ALL designs have went into production and my job of overlooking the samples, etc. is generally complete. I am generally un-needed during this time of mass production and will resume my job once the pins are arrived and when that happens I will go into full-on grading and fulfillment mode. Please do not worry.
All of my backing cards are already in-hand as well as my packaging materials were all prepared ahead of time, so as soon as the items arrive I can undergo the quality control, packaging, and mailing process.
*I want to emphasize this as I understand that enamel pins have seen a high tick of really unprofessional pin makers in the fandom space and I want to emphasize and reassure the community that I am known for juggling multiple projects for over 5+ years as well as daily uploads on Patreon all very consistently, and have successfully fulfilled all of my projects, well before my enamel pin projects, so juggling multiple projects should not be a concern.
I am always available all week and you can reach me at any time as long as I am awake.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me [email protected] or leave a comment here. Thank you!
