May Wrap up - News, sketches and stuff!

Hello everyone! 

I hope you all had a fantastic month! I just wrapped up packaging and sorting all the pins for March and April, and they'll be shipped out tomorrow! 

They arrived last Monday.. and it took me all week to package them up since there were so many pins this time around.. ^^; I initially planned to ship them Saturday, but by the time I finished the post office had closed. Sorry everyone, they'll arrive to you soon though, promise!

There was unfortunately a mishap with the pin shipment, and the box arrived very busted up. Only the thief pins were affected, as I appear to be missing around 25-30 of them. The missing pins seem to be floating around FedEx's warehouses and trucks I guess.. someone even DM'd me on twitter saying they found a broken one near Indianapolis. 😂 Thankfully this did not affect me being able to fulfill Patreon rewards, but it does limit the amount of pins I have on hand now for sale. :(

Shop update soon?

I'm still waiting on the Ysera pins to arrive, but once they do I'll start planning the next update! March and Aprils pins and stickers will be listed as well as a new pin preorder and any leftover Ysera pins (including B & C grades!) I'll be going through my inventory a little bit more as well and hopefully restocking a few things. :)

Also, some bad news.. as I mentioned in Discord a LOT of my pin molds from 2019-2020 were destroyed due to some bad blood between manufacturers. For the 2019-2020 pins, I was using a "factory" called Hiraiwa Metal. As it turns out, Hiraiwa is a middleman though they appear to be a full on factory. They had another manufacturer make all my pins for them, and when they ended that relationship, all the molds Hiraiwa had contracted with them were destroyed.
Starting this year, I've switched all my production to the actual factory that was handling my pins instead of Hiraiwa, but unfortunately I won't be able to restock my old pins without getting a new mold made. :(

In the coming months, I'll open preorders for some of my older pins to get new molds made. I initially was planning to do color variants of all the monster girls, so this news has put a damper on that. (I really wanted to do blind bag monster girls for conventions! 😭)
The Val'kyr, Succubus, and Dryad are first on that list since these designs have since sold out. I'll also be opening orders for my role check pin set eventually as well. :)

May Pin Sketches and postcard art!

Also, the promos for June's pins which I'll be posting tomorrow! ^.^

That's about it for now! 

I'll be sending out the digital reward links later tonight, and most of you should receive your March/April pins next week. Please let me know if you all have any questions - you're more than welcome to reach me via Discord, Twitter, or email (tsepish@gmail.com)! At this time, I advise against sending me messages via Patreon due to their message system spamming my inbox when I send out reward links. I may or may not see your message, so I apologize in advance!

Take care everyone and thank you all so much for your support!
