Greetings Hoarders,

I was playing yesterday, and made these beautiful graphics for the dragons as you unlock them. Here is the first one you guys voted for.



Apparently there are a lot of book wyrms among all of you as a whopping 38% of you voted to unlock the "It's not Hoarding if it's books" derpy dragon for the second pin! (Not that I blame you, I love books as well ^_^)



This little guy will now be one of the pins you can select after the campaign ends! But there's more!
 

I am curious how this one will turn out as it was an even split between my fellow weirdos and procrastinators during the last vote.

Let the battle begin!


Will you choose one of the fan favourites or vote for one of the underdogs? I can't wait to see which one comes out on top!  May the derpiest dragon win!

Oh, I almost forget to mention that we now have 109 backers and EVERYONE will get a dragon sticker in their pledges? That means early backers (first 48 hrs) will get 2 Stickers, and the first 90 will get 3 Stickers and everyone else 1!

Not only that, but you guys have unlocked FIVE Dragon pins when we crossed $9000!!!🤯🤯🤯



I will open the 4th & 5th polls in the next two days. (Makes it easier to keep them all straight ^^ and much more fun to vote 1 at a time)

And if you haven't backed yet, what are you waiting for? You still have 3 hours to snag the early bird FREE derpy dragon sticker!



Oh, and another exciting thing I have never had before, this project is on the trending list! How cool is that?

 

 (Must be a backer to win as its added to your pledge // draw will be random // open to all backers and tiers // PS: you can also comment retroactively on updates for entries!) 

Until tomorrow,
Have an epic day and let the derpy dragon battle begin!

Yours in art,

Greetings Hoarders,

You did it! You unlocked the 3rd 4th Derpy Dragon! The adventure is about to get interesting and a whole lot more fun!
 

"Living life in Hard mode!"

I am so happy you guys voted him. (He's one of my top 3 personal picks)

But there's more. Yesterday some of you watched me draw the "You say WEIRD like it's a bad thing" derpy dragon during the livestream. Well, here's the final result!

Once this little guy unlocks, he will also have glow in the dark elements like the Hard mode dragon. I absolutely love this little guy. And I just ordered my T-shirt with him on it.
Speaking of shirts, my sample hoodie arrived during the livestream. But in case you missed it, here's my son wearing it.
It's super soft and cozy. And I am very happy with the quality. 😊



Remember to vote on dragon #2 and help spread the word so we can unlock all the derpy dragons!

And if you haven't backed yet, you still have 24 hours to get the early bird sticker. And there's still 7 holographic stickers up for grabs!




Well untill tomorrow fellow hoarders!
Happy voting and remember to keep it weird. 

 (Must be a backer to win as its added to your pledge/draw will be random/open to all backers and tiers)

PS: While you wait for tomorrow's vote, you can check out my next two campaigns coming to Backerkit this fall!

Greetings Hoarders,

It's partly time! The Derpy Dragons livestream party has officially started and I just wanted to say a warm welcome to everyone who has made their way here.

You can join us here between 12pm PST and 1 or 2 pm depending how much my computer plays along.

I'm not kidding when I say I live life in hard mode. For reference, this is my setup to record:

The big screen is only there so I can read comments and so it can hold my camera. The rest will hopefully all come from my small computer.

Regardless, I have found the most difficult way to host a livestream. But that's okay, because there will be prizes!

To participate for a chance to win, I will be using this update for people to comment on. (That way I can find the winners afterwards 😊)

So don't be shy! Comment and join the party! 🥳

And if you haven't yet, snag your own derpy dragons!

We are already funded (Yay!) and close to unlocking the 3rd dragon as I write this!

So back now and adopt your Derpy Dragons.

Claim one of the early bird stickers.
In fact, in my benevolent mood, I have decided to give the first 100 backers a holographic sticker! (Not just the first 50)

So join us, win prizes, comment in the chat below, vote on your dragons and let's make this the most incredible campaign yet! 

(Oh and come watch me draw a derpy dragon! 🐉) I'll be finishing these two into their final pin versions. And if time allows, I'll fully illustrate one. 

What makes this campaign different from others? (Other than these silly dragons?) 

Well, you are in the driver seat. 

Backers decide which pins get made (because I love them all and are too indecisive).

So remember to vote for the first pin design and tell me in the comments which one you picked and why 🥰 (best answer gets a prize!)

Have a fantastical day!
Yours in art,
Therena

PS: you can pledge here

Greetings hoarders,

Wow, I can't express my gratitude enough with the support this campaign has received even before it has launched! Not only did we hit 100 followers (my personal goal before each campaign), but the campaign is fully funded! 🤯😍

When I sent the private invitation to my past backers I hadn't anticipated the overwhelming support I would receive, yet you guys has proven to me once again that I have the best fans ever! Recognizing all your names has given me a permanent smile today (probably all week).

And, you guys have unlocked the first pin  TWO pins at the time of me writing this update!
Now, unlike other campaigns where I call the shots, I am taking a wild gamble and putting you guys in control of how the pins unlock. 🫣 And it will be completely driven by backer votes!

So, take a moment, if you haven't already and vote on the first pin I need to unlock. (Anyone who follow the campaign can vote) I will release a daily vote to see which pins unlock once the campaign officially launches on July 2nd at 12 pm PST to give other backers a chance as well. But knowing the first pin is a huge help as far as marketing goes. So keep your eyes open on those updates and votes to have your voice heard! I want this campaign to be yours as much as possible!

Unless you guys somehow magically unlock them all which would be amazing!) And should we unlock them all before launch I will be morally obligated to throw in another free mini pin or sticker to the early bird backers in the first 48 hours! (Is this a new secret stretch goal? I guess it is!)

Oh, and I wanted to invite all of you to my live launch party!



Where? Right here on Backerkit! I will be drawing a derpy dragon live, chatting, answering questions, and playing imaginary music (because I don't think I am allowed music on twitch?) and giving away random prizes to backers who participate. (Prizes wil be added to your pledges after the campaign ends). I think you might need a twitch account to comment (I honestly have no idea). This is my first swing at the launch party Backerkit offers so I am certain there might be some bumps in the way.

To all the campaign followers, your chance will come soon to join in the awesome fun of Derpy Dragons! And I can't wait to have you be a part of making this derpy, quirky campaign spectacular!

Here is a sneak peek to the new sketches I just drew for new pin concepts! (I am partial to the weird one, because that one is totally not based on me.)

And of course the existing horde of derpy dragons, which you have already met when you followed the campaign page:



Well, I leave you to the rest of your evening, or morning, depending where you dwell.
I look forward to meeting you all on Tuesday! And happy voting!

Yours in art,
Therena

PS: If you are a follower seeing this post fear not! This is only the beginning of all the fun I have planned for the campaign! However you are welcome to vote your favourite pin as well! 

PSS: One of my creator friends also have an active campaign right now. So go check it out!
