Our preorders have since closed, and production is currently underway!
Check out all of what's arrived so far, woot woot 🙌
We've received our physical zine book, die-cut stickers, sticker sheet, and charms! Everything is looking AMAZING so far, and we can't wait to get these in your hands ✌️
If we miss preorders will there be another opportunity to purchase the zine?
While there may be leftover sales, stock would be limited, and there is a chance that these copies would be B-Grades, or even lower quality. We would recommend you to buy now in order to secure a copy.
I drew an isometric-style spread for @gntm-zine ! It's one of the more ambitious pieces I've attempted in a while--here's a small snapshot ^^ we're very close to unlocking a stretch goal so I recommend anyone interested to check it out!
With our shop open and preorder period underway, here are some of our order-count based production stretch goals !
50 orders of applicable* bundles : The trio (currently a die-cut sticker) is instead produced as a standee !
100 orders of applicable* bundles : Said standee also features Snack Otose / Yorozuya as a background !
*Applicable bundles : the Merch & Full bundles, ie those which feature the non-stationery merch, and would include the standee if it is unlocked.
surprise!!! i'm super happy to be doing the merch for @gntm-zine- a sheet sticker and some dye cuts!! it's been so good to illustrate for it again it's healing me :') grab a copy on the preorders!!
