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:

I have a challenge for you guys, which can earn you another bonus colouring page!

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! 

Yours in art,
Therena

Greetings Hoarders,

You did it! You have officially unlocked not one, but TWO bonus colouring pages! And the polls determined it would be the multi-classing derpy! Giving you potentially 3 colouring pages! But we still have 3 days to unlock a 4th colouring page.
 

The more people who vote, the more likely we will unlock it! Want to push us to the finish line? Comment on the polls and this update! For today, you can tell me which of the derpies is most like your mood in the poll! 






And because I know you guys are as excited about the Nom Nom derpies as I am, look how close we are to unlocking number 2! I have full faith we can unlock all three during the campaign!

Every pledge brings us this much closer to unlocking these derpies! So spread the word and share the campaign with friends and family!

PS: Remember to click those other achievements to my Patreon & my partner's campaign to unlock even more LOOT! Clicking doesn't commit to backing or in the case of my Patreon, you can simply follow for free! No need to join a tier to help unlock the rewards here!


 
Today's Derpy is possibly one of my new favourites. When I first told my Patreons that I planned to do an ABC book of the Derpies, they were sceptical. Not that I blame them, Q, X, and Z are notoriously limited in the English language. Though I actually found them quite easy because I am able to break the rules a little bit in this ABC book. It is no secret that I like skulls and skeletons... and my original idea was just X-Ray (The little thought bubble derpy) But...this is an "adult" ABC book. Which made me think outside the box a little. How could our Derpy be "naughty" (XXX) but also not... And this is what I came up with ^_^ Here is my little Bad Dragon 😉IYKYK.


"X" is for X-ray-ted


What started as an innocent inspiration with X-ray, quickly devolved into some inside adulting humour and a spin on words :) (Hey, don't blame me! I create 🔞art in another life and style, okay? And I write spicy romantasy!)

The little skelly is a mini pin from the Haunted Dragon series, and the "X" ray-ted derpy is new. I think of all my mini pins, this little skelly derpy is my favourite.

Until tomorrow! ONLY 3 Days left!

🐉🖤"W" is for Weird🖤🐉Stretch goal unlocked!🖤🐉

Greetings Hoarders,

Today's letter brings two more of my favourite Derpies to you. (I know I say that a lot, but every time I see them I am reminded that I like this one too. So I might have several favourites.😂 But can you blame me? Can you choose a single favourite Derpy? And if so... which one?) 

"W" is for Weird

This one is especially for all my fellow weirdlings! Because nothing in this ABC book is "normal"! And neither are we! Which is a good thing, because normal is overrated anyway.


Featuring "Hektor" - a custom Derpy from the Haunted Derpy Dragons set, and my "Weirdling" Derpy from the original Derpies! 


I loved the weirdling so much, I made a full illustration of him as well! Something only 6 derpies can claim. Sure, I have grand ambitions of doing more...eventually.... But in the meantime, here is one you can enjoy ^_^

Ironically I don't have a lot else to update today....oh wait, nevermind.
 

WE UNLOCKED THE FIRST NOM NOM DERPY! 

This little guy will now join the hoard as a 1" mini pin ^_^ The apple will feature red glitter ^_^ Making him the first special derpy for this series. Now one thing I should mention, the goal is still to make these into a set. And "unlocking" him during the campaign means that any not unlocked during the campaign will determine the Pledgemanager stretch goal we need. One down, two to go! 


We are also SUPER close to unlocking the next BONUS colouring page! So keep those votes and comments coming! Speaking of votes, tell me which colouring page you want for the second one!





Until tomorrow! 

Yours in art,
Therena

🐉🖤"V" is for Vendetta...wait, no, Voodoo🖤🐉🖤🐉

Greetings Hoarders,

It was a close race, but in the end the second nom nom derpy won.
I'm not secretly celebrating... (Okay, maybe a little bit)

Today has been a hectic day, from finishing commissions, to kids' dentist visits, and grad meetings... I am wiped. Though on the plus side... I am now the proud owner of A LOT of new Purdies chocolate bars... That's a good thing? Right? At least it's a really good quality chocolate. Maybe I should throw some into the pledge manager as add-ons, in case you wanted to try some good Canadian chocolate ^_^. It'll be perfect for nomming while you read the "D" is for Derpy Dragons art book ^_^

But, I digress. Today's letter is one of my favourites, featuring two of my favourite pins from the Haunted Derpy Dragons set!

"V" is for Vendetta Voodoo


I don't think that Derpies are Vindictive at all. Well...maybe a little bit. 
Featuring the Green skull dragon and my Voodoo Derpy.
I can't believe we are almost through the whole book!
Which one has been your favourite letter so far?

Until tomorrow.
Yours in art,

Therena

PS: We are really close to unlocking the second colouring page! Soon we will vote on the second one! You can help get us closer by telling me your favourite letter so far, or whether you like or hate chocolate. And if it is dark or milk or white you like most? (Chocolate is my favourite adulting coping strategy. It never judges and is always there for you when you need it--unless you didn't buy it, again, and have to get off your lazy butt to go buy some.)
 

🐉🖤"U" is for Unnervingly, Unhinged, Unlucky, Unicorn!🖤🐉 Sneak peek at the actual book!

Greetings Hoarders,

The 1st Nom Nom Derpy has won the final popularity contest! He was the original design before I got bored and created the other 3. The more I think about it; I think I will make these into a set of 3 vs 4. The biggest reason being that it would be more affordable for more backers to get a set of 3 vs 4. So today's vote would be which one of the two that are closest in pose (Exact same pose, different expression) would you pick if you had a choice? Not saying the fourth one won't ever be a pin, just maybe not a part of the set. 


Also, as it stands, my artist proof showed up today for the art book and it looks so good in real life! Holding my books in person for the first time is always a special moment, so I made a video of it You can view the videos here: Instagram: / Facebook / Patreon / BSKY


I am so happy with it! I just want to snuggle it ^^

Which brings us to my Imposter Derpy page. 

"U" is for Unnervingly, Unhinged, Unlucky, Unicorn!


You thought all the derpies were dragons, didn't you? This little unicorn was drawn for my daughter who loves unicorns and colours and pretty things...Eventually I will make an imposter Derpy campaign, but for now you simply get to enjoy it in the art. It also features my "I am sorry my dragon ate your unicorn" derpy from the original set!
Hope you have a luckier day than the unicorn!

Yours in art,
Therena
