Hello Everyone,

Thank you so much for your continued patience. I've been working countless hours on the survey and other details. I sent out Smoke Test Sruveys, and if all goes well will be sending out the rest tomorrow. The due date for surveys is June 5th! After this date, you may not be guaranteed what you want in rewards. In addition please check your payments as there are several outstanding balances. Thank you all!

Hello all,

It feels like these last few weeks have been an absolute marathon. Between working on all the dragons, and other designs, it has been a lot. Each dragon has an alternate sticker, so that's 36 custom designs alone! But for you all, it's well worth it! This update includes an update to some enamel pin designs, new dragons, survey information, stationary reveals and the final reveals for sticker books!

Some dragons have small design changes, and some mini-pins have been updated. You can view the changes below.
 
1. Tux now gets a white cat pin instead of a black one to make the mini-pin more unique. And so those who get both Tux and Calico do not get stuck with duplicate mini pins. Due to this, the same change has occurred for Pixel getting a white controller mini-pin and Spot now receiving a Shiba Inu instead of a Husky Mini Pin!

2. Foxy's sleeping fox has changed to more distinguished colors. I originally was going for a spirit fox look but ultimately decided the blue was way to overpowering. The new design can be viewed below:

 


 

I am pleased to announce the final dragons to be created! They can be viewed below as well as giving our proper shout-outs to our Hoard of Hoard Pledgers! Thanks to them, we have quite a hoard of our own!

 

 

 Surveys have been a long LONG journey to make. But they are currently in review with Backerkit. My goal is to have smoke tests out early next week and then all surveys out by Friday. As of now, the estimated due date for surveys is May 31st!

 

I am pleased to finally show off the final designs for notepads and final designs for sticker books! Please enjoy!

 

That's all for now! Below is the list of selectable dragons (35, minus Gobby) and the 72 stickers to choose from! This may help pick some stuff out beforehand!

 

 Every dragon has a Standard form that matches their pin and an alternate form which is a unique sticker! All alternate stickers are exclusive and will not be reprinted after the campaign!

Hello All,

I know most of you probably supported some more amazing Pintopia Creators and have been getting surveys left and right! However, since my campaign offered custom dragons, mine will be coming out a little later. Not only do I need to work with everyone, but I also have to put this monster of a collection together in a survey format. Ideally, My goal for surveys has been pushed back a little to mid-may, or possibly late May. I am aiming for custom dragons to be done by May 10th, surveys completed on my end by May 13th, smoke tests coming back around May 15th, and everyone getting surveys by May 17th.

In addition, I made some logistical decisions, Once this campaign is done, I was stumped about how to best sell and host the remaining dragons. So the remaining dragons will be put into 4 series of mystery bling bags! Each contains one of 9 dragons with varying rarities. But I know what you're thinking, we only have 23 dragons, and 10 Hoard of Hoard members, we're missing dragons...

That's right! The answer is more dragons. This campaign pushed above and beyond what I could have hoped for, and that means I had extra funds left over. Since I got the funds from Pintopia, I wanted to make sure they stayed in the spirit of Pintopia. So- we will have a total of 36 dragons! 23 Whom you've all met, 10 that are made by the our Hoard of Hoards members, and 3 more designed by me! That's a lot of dragons, and of course, they all come with matching mini-pins.

Is there a dragon you wish we had? Let me know about it and maybe you're wish will be granted!

In addition, the Washi Tape has already started production, wooh!

Thanks Everyone! And meet 3 more of our amazing new dragons!

Hello Everyone,

With the end of Pintopia, I figured many of you who supported several campaigns have probably been flooded with messages and final congratulations. So I wanted to spread mine out a little bit.

Most of the pledges have been collected, but there are still quite a few people whose pledges have not. Please ensure your payment has gone through, or update the information as needed. Next week I will be emailing pledgers in hopes of fixing their pledges. Unfortunately if the pledges can not be collected than those rewards can not be distributed.

 

There ended up being 10! So that means we'll have at least 10 new dragons. Several of these dragons are already in the works, or have been completed! If you are in this pledge tier please check your emails as I messaged you all a few days ago. Double check areas like spam since we do have a limited window to make these dragons so they'll be available (2 Weeks) for everyone to vote on. For everyone else, please meet some of the new dragons! :)

 

Hello Everyone!

It's- nearly the end! I can hardly believe it! With 8 hours left, I can say this has been one of the most incredible things I've ever been a part of. I can't thank everyone enough, from you all to Backerkit for making me a featured artist.

At the moment we have 9 pledgers in Hoard of Hoards, which means- well- we possibly have 9 new dragons to reveal during the survey!

See one you want during that time? Backerkit has an amazing add-on feature! Pledges will be collected soon, so there is still time to change your pledge!

Finally, I'm still working on some final product designs. You all continued to smash every single stretch goal I had, I couldn't keep up!

Upcoming Designs Releases:
- 4 Washi Tape Designs
- 3 More Notepads
- 5 Memo Pad Designs

Here is the Kash Washi tape to enjoy with your eyes! The sparkles will be shiny foil~ And Concept Art for the cat Washi Tape!

Thank You All So Much!

Hello Everyone!

As we settle into the last few days, I wanted to thank you all! A few final reminders, and promises of wonderful things to come!

I know the funding has waivered back and forth but it was unlocked before. So I will go ahead and make it as an add-on. These Washi tapes will be 22mm x 10m long! Some may or may not have foil as I work to finalize the designs. There will be 4 washi tape designs instead of 3!

The designs -
1. Kash,
2. Stary,
3. Tux/Calico (Cats),
4. Merle/Spot (Dogs).
Enjoy a sneak peek at Stary's Washi Tape! The dark yellow will be gold foiled in the final design.

Based on Votes, the following 4 designs will be added during the survey. Depending on popularity, this may be your only change to get these designs as some of them may have limited runs!

That's right! Thanks to those in the tier Hoard of Hoards, there will be more dragons available during the survey that will not be revealed until then. If someone catches your eye, you can always add more. As of right now, there are over 5 new dragons expected to come out. That might change between now and the end of the campaign, so who knows the final total!

Thank you all so much! We're still 2+ days out! 

Hello All,

Just a quick little update!

The poll for the unlocked 4 designs has opened and will be open all weekend. I've sketched up some fun options, click the poll below to see my concept sketches beside each design option. These will determine what ultimately gets designed. We're in the second half of Pintopia with so much more to go!

In addition, we hit 10K! I never thought I'd get this far, and it is amazing. To thank everyone, I will be designing a special sticker commemorating Pintopia 2024, and it will be sent to every single backer for free. I'll be keeping this new little friend a surprise so you'll have to get your pledge rewards to meet them! ;)

As a reminder, those who Pledge in the Hoard of Hoards tier will be able to create their own dragons which anyone can choose during the surveys. They will design the dragons with me during the approximately 2 weeks between the campaign ending/pledges being collected and surveys going out.

Finally,
My Pride Month campaign for Pride Moths now has a prelaunch page! This campaign will turn my Deathhead Moth Design into enamel pins, colored to various pride flags. I am so excited for this project, it goes live in June!

Hello Friends!

It's been a few days and the campaign is going strong, so I wanted to touch base about some exciting changes.

 

I was asked in the comments about the mugs and dishwashers. I used to use a different ink that was more dishwasher friendly, however, after experimenting and trial and error, I ultimately decided I did not like that ink brand. So I changed to a higher quality one that is much more vibrant. However, it fades over time in the dishwasher. So Mugs will be recommended to be hand washed only! Enjoy a look at a mug I was color-testing. This is not the final mug design or final mug quality. I just thought you would like to get a peek at them :)

 

 I have more sticky note designs coming soon, as well as options for larger stationary items like memo pads!

 

I have a lot of sticker designs coming soon that are more personal to each dragon. Here is a little sneak peek!

 

($300 or $250 USD) now comes with the ability to make your own dragons! These dragons will be designed post-campaign after pledges are collected, and be available to everyone during the survey portion and during final check-out for shipping. Did you have a dragon you were begging to have? Maybe a dragon in love with Pizza? A Soccer Dragon? A Dragon With Dragon Plushies? Or maybe you love a design we already have and just want it in different colors.

Terms: After the campaign, I will reach out to everyone. You will have 2 weeks after the pledge is collected to create your dragon so it can be available during surveys. You can decline if you would like to.

Next Stretch Goal:

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had an amazing weekend, with Pintopia in full swing, this campaign shows no signs of stopping. So, backed by voting please meet the new dragons! And there are even color variations of some of our most lovable designs!

In addition, I have new items available! Mugs and Tote bags have been unlocked! These will be handmade by me, so customization on these items is welcome! If you have the Hoard of Hoard Tiers, you get one of each of these items included in your tier!

In addition to these I have 20 sticker designs, as well has many more stationary options coming this weekend! So as always, stay tuned :)
