Due to not everything being finished, pictures for plushies are either their WIP sample or their drawings, and other stand in wip drawings for un rendered art! 😅 So just keep in mind they’re not complete and will be updated closer to the surveys going out! So if you don’t mind ordering while the samples are in this state, you can order now!
It will stay open until I start shipping orders, and extras will be up on my website (or Etsy for internationals)
You do NOT need to buy from the preorder store if you are already a backer, you will choose your plushies and add ons in your survey when they go out!
For future campaigns, I plan to just release surveys before samples are complete, and keep orders unlocked until the samples are done since you can change your survey answers until I lock them! So you won’t have to wait as long for future campaign surveys!
Heya! The samples are still hard at work, and at least the first edition of all the standard sized ones are out! The littles are still being worked on, and should be out soon I hope!
The surveys are all set up so as soon as all the pictures of those finished samples are confirmed, they will immediately be sent out to everyone! Including the Etsy preorders for international backers!
Preorder store update: I will be releasing the preorder store earlier than I was planning, due to the sheer amount of people excited about it! As long as people are ok with some of the plush images being their drawings or the unfinished samples for now! (Would be updated as the images get updated to me!)
I will make another update as soon as that is live, which I hope to be able to work on that before Monday!
Onto the pics!
Borealis complete! Horn needs to be moved up but otherwise complete Stinger needs to be slightly bigger, but otherwise completed!
Nose bump fix and underside of the wings design needs to be fixed, as well as lining problems with belly leg color
Possible revaluation of colors, but probably completed!
Some color areas are incorrect and the chin whiskers are incorrect but otherwise shape is completed!
Some color issues continue but everything else is good
Head shape is off but everything else is good Jumbo is possibly complete! I will take another confirmation look over it asap!
MORE SAMPLE IMAGES!! sorry its been taking so long, it is mostly a waiting game for me too. i am just waiting for each sample update over these weeks, then making edits and waiting even more for another update on the fixes XD
surveys will be sent out when all the samples are completed! don't worry, i will make a specific update when they are ready for smoke tests!!!
preorder store will be launching at the same time the surveys go live! if you are waiting for preorders, just check for the survey update!
snow ash is complete!
Stardust needs some color changes
strawberry little is complete!
arctic dragon is complete starburst is complete scarab needs the middle horn moved, but is pretty much done mountain dragon needs a few shape and color changes night dragon's ear color and back spikes have been fixed (they are completed)
the jumbo "scrap prototype" is being worked on! (starburst will be offered as a stretch goal add on in the survey! but the rest of the jumbos that will be made are customs)
hey guys!! sorry for such a long wait for those of you who are not in my discord server, but i have quite a bit of progress!
ALL samples have been ordered, including the customs! so its mostly just a waiting game until all these samples get done, which means it might be longer periods of no updates while i am waiting as well! im still hard at work with all art for the rest of the merch for this campaign as well as my current running one and upcoming ones, so im not just totally waiting on my hands! due to the results of the poll on my server, i will be waiting until all the samples are completed to send out surveys, so you all can see how their colors look in reality before making your choices!
shimmerwing sample is completed!
icewing sample needs some scale and spike changes but its very close!
nightwing just needs the ear color and the back spikes shape changed but its also very close!
oh dear starburst is looking a little sickly LOL, she needs a few more edits than the rest of them, but the colors are pretty much perfect!
i also will be adding a new merch item: Tribe Banners! here are some examples! i am still working on the rest of them!
the first two samples have arrived to me, but i was going to wait to take pics of them until they all arrive! i will also be doing an unboxing stream over at the discord server, as well as an AMA session! there is no set date for that yet as i dont know when the samples will be completed, but announcements will be made in the server! https://discord.gg/CC7juddtWa
reminder to those who have failed payments: make sure you check your pledges and update that! there is currently still $3600 of failed payments!!! please just check that! this doesnt include the pay over time backers, you guys are all fine!
an insane push right at the end! WE REACHED THE FINAL STRETCH! Stardust will be available on the surveys, as well as milkweed and thistle littles!!! what an amazing end! thank you all so much for your support!!!✨
this makes a total of 17 standard sized plushies and 6 littles available! PLUS! A SPONSORED DESIGN! (standard sized!)
Vezix's sponsored design!
also, i literally just got an update about the butterfly dragon's sample as i was in the middle of writing this update! i prioritized the softness of the plush and made the whole body the blue so there will not be printed gradients, so it does look different from the drawing! (this choice was according to the poll held at the very beginning of the campaign) for the leg and foot thing, the leg has been spread out more, so it does look more like a floop down than it had looked before (see below for the comparison)! the foot angle is actually very dependent on the beans within the foot, so it does rotate around a bit, so its hard to get it to sit in the properly rotated way- that does mean the foot is fixed but its hard to see in still photos! would love to know opinions and if you guys approve of this floppy foot!
left is old sample, right is new sample
i am also getting custom hang tags made! previously my other plushies have not had any identifying brand tags, but these ones will be getting them!
i got very nearly done with the rest of the customs! all but the last one is completed! (sharing them here so everyone can see the cool designs everyone provided me with!
standard custom for bellaluna93!
jumbo custom for hyacinthe!
jumbo custom for VillaroniUnseen871!
WIP standard custom for legacywolf!
the next design was not designed by me! Scarlet used my base to create their own custom design! two sides different colors is very cool!
left side
right side
i will be trying to make more frequent and minor updates on the discord server (https://discord.gg/CC7juddtWa) and i will be making more "whole chunk" updates on backerkit!
the small keychain designs are all complete now! heres a look at all of them! i was asked if the gummy wyrms preorders could be added to these surveys, and i will be! it wasnt the original plan but since that campaign wasnt that long ago, so i will add them for anyone who wants combined shipping! if youre one of the ones who preordered directly on the campaign preorder store, you can cancel your preorder and add it to this survey later!
** the final custom little was just taken last minute! a total of 12 customs are going to be made! **
im still working hard on the rest of the keychains, the remaining customs and some new comms coming in! this has been an amazing campaign and i am so grateful to everyone who has supported me!
