Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a long overdue update on Pin Quest: Myths of the Underworld. I’m really sorry this campaign has been quiet for a bit, there's been a lot happening in the background and I want to be transparent about the delay if you haven't followed my other campaigns.

🙏🏼 The long version for the delay (if you didn't see updates from the other campaigns)

➡️ Back to back campaigns:
While running Pin Quest, an artist that was part of the upcoming League of Science pin event asked me to join and asked if I could do more insect pins like in my Rebirth & Ruin campaign. I happily agreed, but I didn't fully anticipate how tight the schedule would be in between setting up & running multiple back-to-back campaigns, cleaning up lineart, and preparing artwork for the next event. I originally planned to have more time between Pin Quest and Pintober to clean up/vectorize the artwork, but with the added insect pin campaign I had to put a pause on cleaning up the Pin Quest designs in order to run the events on time.

➡️ Family emergencies:
During the middle of running Pinned & Preserved after Pin Quest, my mom was hospitalized due to a severe spider bite infection that required multiple surgeries to clear out of her system. Thankfully she made a full recovery 🥹🙏🏼 Shortly after this, there was a cancer scare that required more testing back at the hospital, but thankfully that all came back negative. After this happened, my closest grandma passed away which was a very difficult loss to deal with on top of everything.

Once things settled down, I jumped immediately back into my work cleaning up the Pin Quest lineart for my manufacturer. Balancing campaign work in between these 2 family emergencies caused some delays getting production started, and I ended up a little overwhelmed and slower to check in than I meant to be. For that I sincerely apologize 🙏🏼 I just want to be transparent about everything and I want to thank you all so much for your incredible patience during this time. It really does mean a lot right now (I also hope you all are taking care of yourselves too, I know life can be rough to everyone sometimes 💖)

🙌🏼 The great news is that pin production is finally finished after their super busy holiday season, and the pins will ship out to me soon! 💖 

📸 Take a look at the pins! They look amazing! 😻✨
