Greetings Hoarders,

Just a quick little update today to remind you to complete your surveys so I can order the pins, please.

I need at least 85% complete to get the most accurate numbers to order. We are currently at 75% which can really affect my numbers if I don't order enough pins. 


If you lost your survey, you can find it here:
https://d-for-derpy-dragon.backerkit.com/

If you already completed your survey, thank you!

I would love to order these pins by Friday. Completing the survey won't charge your card now. That won't happen until I have everything in hand and start fulfilling. Which will be sometime in January.

Good news:
I received all the D is for Derpy Dragons books! I forgot to take a picture, I'll share it in my next update.

Feeling Festive yet?

If you followed my Festive Derpies campaign you might have noticed it hasn't launched yet. I decided to launch it as part of the Backerkit holiday market which launches Nov 18th.

So instead of only 1 week of tinsel and shenanigans you get 2! Which also means it's not too late to get your exclusive mini pin when you reserve your pledge!

You can follow the campaign here.
Unlike most creators only offering existing products, I will run the full festive derpies campaign as part of it. With Canada Post on strike I couldn't promise Christmas deliveries for physical pledges, but all backers will get some digital gifts to tie you over! From colouring pages to a special printable holiday card if you wanted to give them as gifts.

I am also offering all-in discounted bundles in the add-ons for those who missed previous campaigns.


I look forward to seeing you guys in the polls and discussions!

Yours in art,
Therena

Greetings Hoarders,

Wow! Thank you so much for such an incredible campaign!!! I couldn't be more thrilled with the way things have turned out! Thank you so much! Not only for your support, but for participating in polls and comments and just hanging out with me. Sometimes it feels like I am talking into the void, but with you guys here I never felt lonely! So, from the bottom of my little weird heart, THANK YOU!


PS: I would love to keep in touch now that the campaign ended! And my Patreon is the place to do that! Let's keep the conversation going even after this campaign ends! You can see my new art, sneak peeks, and just chat and hang out!

STRETCH GOALS UNLOCKED:

You also unlocked all these designs! (Yes, even the no AI Derpy, because I really like him, and I know some of you do too, so I had tweaked to goal! He will be available as an add-on in the pledge manager as he isn't part of the actual set--he will be one of the misfit Derpies.)

You also unlocked 4 digital colouring pages! Yes, you read that right, FOUR! I am so grateful for everyone who participated in the polls and the comments, so I went ahead and unlocked the 3rd one because I love you all so much. And we hit $20,000 so we unlocked the 4th one as well!

Returning backers unlocked the mini pin!

I love my loyal backers, and these little pins are just one way I like to say thank you for your support and loyalty despite what is happening in the world at large! You guys are my tribe and I couldn't be more grateful for each and every one of you! And if you are new, you can look forward to joining the tribe in the next campaign to unlock those returning backer mini pins too!

What's next? 

While you wait:

Follow my Patreon to keep the conversation going! I am always open to new suggestions and just for a chat. (Did you know my Patreons have inspired several derpies in my campaigns?)



I have two Derpy Dragon campaigns in the next few months. One is only ONE week long and a mini campaign:

FESTIVE DERPIES: November 2025 (5-7 days only)

And I just got approved for the pre-launch gift!  So if you have already followed, and you want this exclusive mini pin, be sure to reserve your spot!



This campaign will only run for 5-7 days, with the hope that I can unlock some festive derpies before the holidays. And I will have colouring pages as well for all backers so they can have some Derpy Days while waiting for the pins to arrive!

And in case you are curious, this will be the returning backer sticker/pin:


So be sure to follow and reserve your pledge!! You don't want to miss this campaign since it is so short!

Announcing the brand new big campaign for PINTOPIA next year:

ZODIAC DERPIES!!! January 2026 (My biggest planned campaign for 2026)

A brand new set of Derpies coming to you January 22nd as a part of PINTOPIA! And you know what that means, even MORE FREE PINS! From collaboration freebies to returning backer rewards and early bird stickers!

And to kick it off, I will once again have an exclusive mini pin for backers who reserve their pledges!!!

Follow the campaign and join my Patreon for early sneak peeks at designs and to give me ideas!!!

I can't tell you how excited I am for this campaign! I have so many ideas for things I can do! (Like a Derpy Dragon planner and calendar.) So be sure to follow and reserve your spot!

As you can see there are lots of exciting things planned for the Derpy Dragon futures! And I am so glad you are here with me on this adventure!

Until next time,

Yours in art,
Therena

Greetings Hoarders!

I can't believe we are at the final letter in the book (and final day of the campaign!!!) What a ride it has been! And we are heading to an incredible end!

You did it!

But there is more, I have adjusted the AI derpy pin goal, and we are only ONE backer away from unlocking it! So spread the word! 


We are also really close to my personal goal of hitting $20,000 for this campaign. If we can hit it, I will unlock another colouring page! And you can vote which one it is in today's poll! (If you already voted yesterday, you can tell me in the comments which Derpy is most like you today!


Now for my last page in the book, "Z". This one might also be slightly prophetic as I have every intention of going for a nap reading with a complete disregard for responsibility and adulting.

"Z" is for Zzzzz  One more Chapter

Greetings Hoarders

Ever wonder how Derpies come to be? Then wonder no longer! My first stage is a sketch I draw in my Remarkable 2 (A digital notebook) and then I import it to Photoshop. Here is a sped-up time-lapse of how I did the Nom Nom Derpy set ^_^

You guys unlocked the secod Nom Nom Derpy! Just look how happy he is to join the hoard ^_^ Only one more to go to unlock the full set and make these available as add-ons in the pledgemanager!! 

We are realy close to unlocking the third Nom Nom Derpy too!


There's only 2 days and two pages left to share with you! Today is a bit of a weird one. Finding an appropriate wordfor "Y" and the derpies as probably the hardest to figure out. Luckily my Patreons came to my rescue once more. And one of them suggested "Yonderly"--which happened to be a word I was unfamiliar with. But it was so perfect for my little day dreamers!

"Y" is for Yonderly (Because every ABC book needs at least one word you don't know or ever use)

Featuring my little Displacer kitty from my Dungeons & Derpies Campaign, and Fan Fiction, from my bookish campaign collection!

BONUS STRETCH GOAL:

Can we get 100 of you to vote on the open poll? If we can get 100 votes by time the campaign ends, I will unlock a FOURTH bonus colouring page based on the votes! 

Speaking of colouring pages, you guys voted on the "Adulting? Hard Pass!" to be the 3rd one when we hit 15,000 engagement points! So keep those votes, likes and comments coming! This little Derpy is a custom commission from one of your fellow backers which will be available as an add-on during the pledge manager!

Since it's a custom pin, he won't be a part of the tier pins since he is technically not unlocked until after the campaign ends.
 

Now go vote and tell me which Derpy you feel like most today!
