Sorry for the lack of updates! I was recovering from a minor head & neck injury.
I had a wonderful show at Dokomi in Dusseldorf, but on the plane ride home I got bonked in the head with someone's bag. It sent me into shock for most of the 2-hour trip home. I was rather out of it for the entirety of last week, AND I had to travel to the US just a few days later. It was a challenge but my lovely husband and friends here in California have been taking very good care of me, and I'm all better now.
San Diego Comic-Con 2023 - Come visit me! :)
Find me at booth 1703
Anyway, I'm in California! I am spending time with aforementioned friends and gearing up for my annual appearance at San Diego Comic-Con. If you're going to the show, I will be at booth 1703 all next weekend + preview night.
I'll also be handing out flyers to advertise the project, and you can meet Crabapple and Happycwab at my booth~
Introducing: Social Goals!
Every five goals reached unlocks a reward for this campaign. Some of them are pie in the sky goals (like thousand+ followers on social media), but others are things we are doing naturally (like leaving comments on the project page & sharing the project on facebook, etc). I think we can hit some of these before the campaign ends.
5 achievements unlocked: A timed-exclusive San Diego Comic-Con vlog
10 achievements unlocked: 3" vinyl Happycwab Sticker for ALL backers
15 achievements unlocked: 3" vinyl Classic Crabapple Sticker for ALL backers
For instance, every comment left by a backer counts toward the 50 comment achievement, and we've already unlocked the 50 backer achievement.
We're 50% funded so far after three days! Thanks so much to everyone who's pledged, told a friend, or even just liked a post on social media!
Every little bit helps, and while I'm sending press info to toy blogs and trying to spread the word, any bit of sharing or talking about the project is super helpful and appreciated immensely.
For everyone who doesn't know, Discord is a chat platform (used a lot by gamers and NFT creators), and it's also the best place to find and ask me questions if you've got them!
The House of Mors ("mors" is Latin for "death") is a dark art server I run with three other creators, and while it's currentlya large focus on digital art and nfts on the Tezos blockchain, I'm putting more and more work-in-progress sculpts and toy-related stuff on there. It's also where the channel is going to be for anyone who added on the Nightmare-Chan Squad membership, so you definitely might as well join now :P
Anyway, thanks again and if you pop into the server don't be afraid to say hi!
We're kicking the campaign off tomorrow at 12pm PT!
Super excited to kick this off and bring Nightmare-Chan to life in his soft vinyl glory.
If you'd like to come celebrate (and potentially win a free extra Nightmare-Chan), come hang out on my Twitch stream from 3-5pm PT on Monday where I'll be digitally painting, talking about the process of bringing a toy to life, answering questions, drinking kombucha, maybe digitally painting, and raffling off a Nightmare-Chan to a backer live on stream. (if you're watching live, you'll get an EXTRA chance in the raffle!)
PS - my Patrons will get an extra raffle ticket if they back..so if you're a patron viewing who has backed and is watching, you get three tickets total!
Want to back a bit early? Here's my super secret preview link that allows you to back before anyone else!
Yay! This campaign is officially funded! I'll raffle off a marbled test pull Nightmare-Chan figure to someone who is getting a physical reward at the close of the campaign! Thank yoooou!
