Don’t talk to me or my son ever again!
Update 6/6/2018
A lot has been going on in some of our members’ lives that caused a bit of a slow down, but we’re still working hard.
Justin has been working on flat coloring Gwyn in between sketching backgrounds for our background artists. Along with this, Justin and Noelle have been editing Rory’s main story again, trying to get past chapter five.
Darkenmarr is working on Ashley’s sprite in between working on art for A-kon. After A-kon Noelle and Darkenmarr hope to get back to a normal schedule with the character art and start again on the body pillow designs now that we have it narrowed down to what characters we need for backers. The other characters will be done eventually, but we want to focus on what we need now.
Geoff just sent us our latest song and Justin and Noelle will be listening to it soon to decide if any changes will be needed. If approved, the team will come up with a title and then Geoff is onto the next song.
As we mentioned above, Darkenmarr along with Noelle and Justin will be attending A-kon this week with a table in the artist alley. You can find them at table D10 under the name Naive Sprites and Darkenmarr. We’ll be selling A Very Important Date merchandise, fanart, and some of Darkenmarr’s original art. Any profits made from the AVID merchandise will go towards the Kickstarter stretch goals.
We’ve already shipped out some of the keychains and had hoped to mail out the second batch before getting into Texas, but some travel situations have made it so that we won’t be able to get them out until after the con. Still we will send out tracking numbers as soon as we’re able to send them out.
Today, Darkenmarr, Noelle, and Justin launched another Kickstarter for a side project they’ve been working on called Chimikipos. This little venture will be making a bunch of different kinds of stuff, but our first Kickstarter focuses on our first idea: our adorable sea cow enamel pin! So please check it out and share the link! We really appreciate it. Half of the profits made from Chimikipos will help fund AVID and other games that Naïve Sprites might make in the future.
Ugh, sorry I've been ignoring tumblr guys. Life got sucky and I pretty much lost what little motivation I had. Am slowing getting back on proper meds again so will see if I can get back to atleast posting. In semi related news if anyone is going to doll a-kon this year keep an eye out for me and Nails! (tho might gonna skip bringing him Thursday) I'm gonna have some if my knitting and chainmaille and a couple tinies at the doll swap(s).
Come hang out with other Touken Danshi by the pool! Photographers welcome! We're meeting at location 11 (quiet pool #2).
I’m hosting the Touken Ranbu meetup at this year’s Akon! The plan so far is for the meetup to take place at 3pm on Friday. I’ve requested one of the poolside locations. Bring your camera and ohagi and meet your favorite touken danshi!
Love myself a good Tarte bath! Have you tried our magical Moon Prism Power bath bomb yet? It’s like a magical girl transformation scene in the bath. Pick one up at A-Kon (AA D24) this weekend or order one online.
Whipped up a new soap for next month. I think I’m kinda doing a soap of the month thing. So for June the special soap that will be available is Rainbow themed! <3 The outer layer is composed of lemongrass essential and grapefruit bellini (this is the same scent as my Free Them soaps). On the inside is a blend of soap shavings from my previous soaps making different shades of the rainbow. I have a picture of it cut on my instagram. It’ll be available online in my etsy shop on June 1st and for sale at Project A-Kon, Hamacon and Sailor Moon Day Mobile at Gamers n Geeks.
*breathes in that fresh Texas anime air* I made it into Project A-kon! That means a summer full of amazing bath products coming directly to you. Catch me in Fort Worth in June, Houston in early August and hopefully in San Antonio at the end of August/early September. Any fans coming out to Akon?!
if you snagged a picture of me this A-kon, pls send them my way im so thirsty for those hall shots since i always forget to actually take my own :,)
