September Wrap Up! Conventions, September sketches and gift art

Hello everyone, its time for the monthly wrap up!

This month I had 2 conventions/events that I was selling at, so I've been pretty busy preparing for that. I have one very tiny 1 day event next weekend, but after that I'm done with conventions for the year! Woo hoo!

(my biggest booth ever!! Big thanks to Senzyri, Eggu and Eggu's husbando for helping me out at Cincinnati Comic Expo last weekend ❤)

Next shop update I'll likely release a lot of the extra con items (like keychains and tote bags) and place them in the secret shop. ^.^ My next convention isn't until late February as of right now, so I have plenty of time to restock items.

Speaking of shop updates, I'm planning the next one to be for November 25th (Black Friday!) I'd like to do another pin preorder before that, but I will hold off until the current preorders are in-hand. :)

Regarding pin preorders - the Val'kyr and Succubus pins are still in production and I likely won't hear anything about them for a couple more weeks. I believe one of China's big holidays is happening now, so production is going to be slow. As soon as I see/hear anything I'll let you all know asap!

September Pins

This month our pins were Deathwing and Hraesvelgr! I love me some grumpy dragon babies.

These two, along with the October pins are currently on their way to me - I fully expect to be able to ship out both pins on schedule. (1st week of November) :)

Portrait Sketches

I did a few mini portrait practice paintings for a couple people this month as well! 2 were for birthday gifts (Eggu and Zulli) and then one for Senzyri as a mini con badge for helping me out with conventions so much. ^.^

While I don't normally take on commissions, I'd like to maybe do this kind of style as Blizzcon badges for 2023! They'll be a bit more polished than this of course. ^^ The badge slots will exclusively be for Patrons, and I'll try to fit as many of them in as I can. Once we hear more about Blizzcon next year, I'll have more details.

(I think the last time I did actual badge slots was 2018! 👀)

Anyway, since its our Patreon anniversary month... I'd love to do some sketches for you all!

I'll be doing some Patron portrait sketches randomly from anyone who fills out this list, and in the future I'd love to be able to send someone a little gift or sketch for your birthday month too. ^.^
These sketches will likely just be greyscale, not fully colored like the ones above, just so I can get in as many of you as possible. If I can figure out how, I'll try to stream them in Discord!

(If you don't feel comfortable putting in your full birthday, you can just tell me the month on the next line! I don't need to know the year, but the forms date format won't let me change that)

I think that's all for now!

A few reminders and TLDRs:

I posted October pin spoilers in my previous update - I'll be posting them publicly tomorrow! :)

Digital Reward links and discount codes will be going out later tonight.

Fill out a form to potentially get a sketch! https://forms.gle/Zf5spQ968j1edfv16

Next shop update: Nov 25th!

Hope you all have a great weekend! Stay safe everyone. ❤
