Hello to all creatures and creature lovers~

The Beast postcard print is done! I still think the Entity is my favorite (he's a hard one to follow up), but the Beast has a chaotic energy I just love.
 

That means only The Maw remains, who is my personal favorite monster. I'll finish him up as soon as I can, and I am aiming for this weekend. 

The Shadow print also needs a bit of work, he was originally made to be a video/gif only, before I decided on prints, so the area underneath where the text box used to be is messy. Cast shadows of branches will likely also be added to the window light shining on the wall (unless it looks terrible). I actually meant to add those originally, but forgot. These are relatively quick fixes that will also come this weekend or just after.

Here are the postcards so far! I will likely brighten up and increase saturation on some of them so they all feel equal in contrast/color, but no big changes to come. :)

A big thank you again for all your support! I'm thrilled and still a little stunned at how much love you've shown these spooky guys💖

Now a big wall of text with reminders about next steps after the campaign.

Dear Creatures ends on November 5th at 3PM CST! BackerKit will then charge you for your pledge. This typically takes a day or two, and it happens automatically. I do not decide when BackerKit attempts to charge your payment method.

Please adjust or cancel your pledge before then if necessary!

Declined Payments
If BackerKit can't charge your card for some reason, you'll receive an email notice of the declined payment with instructions on fixing it. You will have 14 days after campaign end to fix your payment method. According to BackerKit, they will automatically try charging payment methods again up to 4 times over a 15 day window. Again, in this case, I do not decide when BackerKit attempts to charge your payment method.

Backers that are not able to fix their payments within this window will still receive a survey where they can add payment in order to reinstate their pledge!

Pay Over Time Reminders
Pay Over Time allows you to split pledges of $150 or more (before shipping and tax) into four interest-free, automated monthly installments with no additional charges. If you selected Pay Over Time, you'll be imported into Pledge Manager, but will not be get a survey until full pledge balance is paid (after the fourth installment).

Once the 4 months are up or full pledge payment is paid, whichever comes first, you will be automatically invited to the survey. You will receive the survey link by email within 72 hours after your final installment successfully processes. You will not receive the survey until your pledge is paid in full.

 
This means these Pledge Manager surveys will be delayed, but I always order extra product, and additionally will account for Pay Over Time folks in my item counts.

Surveys
The PledgeManager survey is where you choose your rewards and add-ons and provide a shipping address. You can also add additional add-ons if you want. My plan is to send the survey out around November 24th. That will give me time to set up the survey and the pre-order store, and allow backers to fix their payments. I will close surveys sometime in Mid-December. This will be sent to the email you use to log into BackerKit, so be sure you have access to this email!

I'll let you know if there are delays with the survey.

Shipping Fees
As stated many places in the campaign, shipping is charged closer to fulfillment. Shipping is also calculated based on weight of your package. Any additionaly add-ons you add in the survey will be charged at this point, too. This final charge is estimated to happen sometime in early 2027. You will be able to update your address at any time up until that point, and a little after!

I have set my shipping estimate fairly far into the future: May 2027, just in case of manufacturing delays.

Hopefully fulfillment can happen sooner—but no promises—as pin manufacturing has been taking much longer for many artists recently.

Thank you!

I think that's it for now! I will update again shortly after campaign end and keep you updated on production and artwork.
