Hello creatures,

We're closing in on $25k as of this update, which is incredible. I know I sound like a broken record, but thank you again for such a strong start this week!

On that note, I've decided not to add more stretch goals. It's been on my mind a lot, and I think it's for the best. I've been pushing hard to complete fulfillment for my Pintopia 2026 campaign Shadow & Brass, and I still need to finish up print and washi tape artwork for this campaign. I grew my last campaign very large, and I want to be careful, as burnout has been a real concern lately.

I will also likely be running a small Valentine's Day campaign next year, which will be here before we know it. 🤫

Thanks for being understanding! I think there's some cool stuff on offer and I want the pins, stickers, prints, etc. to be the best they can be. 

Since there are 4 postcard illustrations to finish, I figured it could be fun to stream some of it—and this would be my first stream ever! It'll be simple and chill—I'll work on some monster art and, if there's interest, I can show I create the visual-novel style animations I made for this campaign. I still want to make some for the remaining monsters.

I'm planning the stream for Saturday, 10/31 at 1PM CDT—Halloween afternoon! I know it'll be a very small stream, but there's a poll for which monster man you'd like to see worked on (open until Wednesday morning)... I have a feeling the Beast may end up being the pick 😆

Thanks again for all of the support you've shown Dear Creatures!
