Hi again everyone! I just wanted to stop in with a quick update so you all know things are still progressing smoothly. As we all know pins have a long production time normally but with a project of 10 very complex pins (some pins have up to 31 screen print colors ToT) this is a more involved production than usual, so we thank you for your patience!
But here's what you're really here for, pics of the pins!
Finished Mel sample
Finished Zag sample
Aren't they stunning! They have so much depth and a goregous shine to them, plus the frame really makes them stand out T^T These are def pins other makers would've charged 80$+ for, so I think you'll be very happy with them!
Mel looks perfect and is fully approved, however Zag isn't quite matching in skin tone (to me it looks like the shadow screen print is too light in value and too red in tone) but its should be the same as used on Mel so we are investigating a solution to make their skintones match
Please make sure to follow smtorama, tinyotakufish and cherryart331 over on IG. We all post updates in our Instragram stories so you will have the most up to date info about this project
Hi again everyone Back again with a new update, we are still working behind the scenes to get these pins made for you and hope you have fun seeing the process!
First up here is the finished artwork for the Supportive Shade pin, I'm so happy with how it turned out. I always love going up and chatting with Supportive Shade so I'm really happy we get the chance to celebrate him in pin form
And for the second part of the update, photos of Zag and Mel's molds. It really is starting to feel real now seeing these photos. They already look amazing and so big!
Hi everyone, Everything is rolling along as planned behind the scenes but I wanted to jump in quickly to show you the final art for Dusa and Nyx (If you haven't already seen it on our socmed)
Aren't they beautiful! Cherryart331 did such an amazing job intrepreting the sketches, and we hope you are excited to have them in your collection as we are to make them for you. Stay tuned for the Good Shade and the Patroclus and Achilles arts soon
On the production end of things, we have paid for Zag and Mel pins to go into production! With Icarus and Thanatos to follow shortly. The other pins are in various stages of art proofing and working out effects. As you know pin making in a very laborious process but we will keep you updated at each step!
Hi again everyone I hope you had a great weekend, I'm just popping in quick to give an update on surveys - we still need 6 surveys to be completed so please take a moment to fill yours out if you haven't yet!
If you don't complete a survey you will be sent the most popular pins by default (Zag, Mel and/or Than) so to ensure you get the characters you want make sure to fill it out
Otherwise everything else is on track, we have designed the backstamp and picked out the quotes for each character that will be laser engraved on the back. Once we have final counts for the pins we will begin the manufacturing step!
Hi everyone! The results look good so far so the rest of the surveys have just been sent out! Have fun picking out all the characters you'd like for your pins and prints <3
Also I'd like to share that we have opened a pre-order store as well, this allows anyone who did not pledge during the campaign a chance to pre-order their pins and avoid waiting for leftovers!
If you did pledge during the campaign and would like to add more pins or prints to your pledge you can do so in your survey. Please do not use the pre-order store as you will end up having to pay shipping twice then.
Thanks again everyone, I can't wait to see which pins you choose :))
