Bookish derpy dragons

Greetings Hoarders,

As we enter the final hours of the campaign, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with us so far!

Without you, this campaign wouldn't have done as well as it has. I mean, just look at all the little bookish derpies (and their guests)!


Most have already joined the hoard. But there's still two left out in the cold...

The RED DRAGON BOOK DERPY and the adorable Inspiring Quotes by Derpies, derpy.

Naturally, I really want both to unlock. So, I have adjusted the stretch goals to do just that. 😁 (That's the best part about being in control of all the decisions - muahahaha 😈)

The Red Dragon book derpy will now unlock at $24,000 and you can unlock the Inspiring Quotes Derpy one of 2 ways. If we can get 25 people to join my Patreon (free tiers are fine - link is in the achievement below) or if we reach $25,000.

There's still a way you can help even if you already backed without increasing your pledges. You can share the campaign with your friends, family, pet dragon (assuming they have a hoard with real gold), socials and more!

So summon your fellow weirdlings and derplings, and lets finish this campaign strong, together!

Oh and while we count down the hours, go vote on your favourite version of the inspiring Derpy!

And don't forget to back Mushroom Hunt 🍄 to get your Free Inky set!

Yours in art,

PS: some clarification on the two collaboration pin sets. When you back both Bookish Derpy Dragons AND Mushroom Hunt you get this Inky set FREE.

And because we both reached $5000 in both our campaigns, we unlocked the Mushy set as an add-on, which you can add on either of our campaigns. All profit from this set goes directly into his education fund to help pay for art school so that he can pursue his dream as a professional artist.

We are offering this set at a discounted backer exclusive price during the campaign only ($35 now, $40 after).

If you haven't backed yet, don't wait too long! The campaign ends in less than 2 days!

Greetings Hoarders,

Wow, I don't think I've had such a tight poll yet! A single vote made all the difference!


Officially the little dragon book lover has joined the hoard.

But, then I looked at the sad little puppy derpy eyes of the little derpy that didn't make it, and my heart couldn't let it not be a part of the hoard... So, I figured that I *could* make him unlock as a new stretch goal...

We already have several milestones within the campaign itself, and I really want to give this guy a real shot at joining the hoard (making a goal beyond 35k seems less likely to unlock him and I do want him to join). So I thought outside the campaign and found a solution.

I'm trying to grow my Patreon followers, (I have a personal goal for the year of 200 followers) so I decided that he will unlock when I get at least 25 more. (Putting me at 125 total)

Why Patreon? Because it's the only place where I share all my art. It's where I connect most with my tribe outside of campaigns. While some things are exclusive to certain tiers, I do share a lot of art with all members.

So, you can help unlock this little guy for the campaign and see all my art! It's win-win. Just follow it via the achievement linked below. (You can follow for free - it all counts towards unlocking the derpy!)

Once we unlock him, you will still get to vote which version you like more.

Speaking of stretch goals, we are really close to unlocking the red dragon book derpy mini pin design!

As we enter the final days of the campaign, I'm confident that he will join the hoard. As he's a mini pin, he'll be priced lower and as such available as an add-on only.

And if you are curious, here's the other stretch goals we are working on:

I can't wait to see how the rest of the campaign unfolds.

PS: don't forget to add on one of these lovable derpies. Each add-on brings us closer to the next stretch goals.

The Valentine "guest" derpy - red glitter edition

Or add the Mushy set through my son's campaign (and earn the free Inky set when you back us both!)

Greetings Hoarders,

You have spoken, the "Books are weapons" derpy have joined the hoard!

But as all stories must eventually come to an end, so too must your visit to the Great Library of Shenanigans. 

Looking back, you wave to all your new friends. The departure from this magical place, bittersweet. 

As you turn to leave, you run into one more derpy. Who is it? 
(Choose well for this will be the last design to join this set other than custom derpies!)

I can't wait to see who you vote for! 

But fear not, this final chapter is merely the beginning of a new one, and there is still some adventures to be had before the campaign ends!
(Like stretch goals to unlock!)

So happy voting!

Yours in art,
Therena

Greetings Hoarders,

Apparently it's 1 week before Valentine's Day. I don't normally celebrate holidays because I forget about them. But I am feeling so much love from all my backers and Patreons this month, I wanted to make a special Valentine's edition derpy dragon pin!

This design is now available as an add-on for this campaign! This print run will feature dark red glitter for the heart! And it'll be limited editions by colour! 

I also added a colouring page as a Valentine's gift for everyone, which you can download via my Patreon!

Thank you for being the best backers ever! Tomorrow I'll do a more bookish update again.

Until tomorrow, have a wonderful day 💘.

Yours in art,
Therena

PS: remember to check out Mushroom Hunt and back us both for a FREE pin set! He has unlocked ALL his designs, and together we unlocked Mushy. Plus, we are working on another stretch goal, possibly another collaboration when he hits $10,000!


PPS: remember to vote in today's poll! 

Greetings Hoarders,

It was a close vote for the little hoarder, but in the end "It's not hoarding if it's books" won. He will now join the hoard with the other derplings

For today's poll you continue to adventure through the library of shenanigans. Two of these derpies will join the bookish hoard. Who will it be today?

If the following derpy wins, backers will vote on which version will be a pin.

I can't wait to see who you vote for! I love them all, so I'm glad I'm not the one to decide 😅.

On a side note, I was discussing the types of Derpy dragons with my sons last night and we've discovered that all my oriental dragons and wyverns are actual dragons instead of derpies (I kinda see derpies as it's own species)... So guess I need to draw those in the next collection. Which will be my Dungeons & Derpies campaign.

Speaking of, I kinda hope the book weapon derpy doesn't win only so I can use him in that campaign as he fits the aesthetic perfectly:

In fact it was a sketch for this bookish campaign which inspired that campaign to begin with! (The dungeons & derpies book bottom left)

On another silly note, I have a "year of the dragon" pin from last year, but it's a normal dragon...so my son challenged me to make a derpy year of the snake in dragon costume 😅. So here's the "year of the dragon snake" derpy sketch. 🤣 We had some good giggles from it. 

Have an epic day!
