First, a warm happy Howl-idays from your friends at ArtworkTee :)
We are so grateful to each and every one of you for supporting our campaign, and we are hard at work getting your rewards ready to ship out.
Backerkit Surveys
87% of you have received and filled in your backerkit survey - thanks so much for that!
We have a few reports of people not receiving their survey - if that's the case for you, please go here to contact Backerkit to make sure your survey gets sent to the right email. https://furrynproud.backerkit.com/faq#contact-us
Shipping shirts to you
The shirts fill up our entire space XD wow! So many to send out to you wonderful fluffs ^^
First Batch: The first batch of shirts has been printed and come into our warehouse - these shirts are as follows.
Jessie the LGBT Pride Fox
Martin the LGBT Pride Husky
Alice the Trans Pride Deer
Charlie the Trans Pride Lion
Mandy the Bisexual Pride Snow Leopard
Casey the Asexual Pride Panda
Jessica the Lesbian Pride Cat
Jules the Pansexual Pride Dragon
Marcus the Straight Ally Wolf
Robin the Demisexual Pride Red Panda
Avalon the Nonbinary Pride Unicorn
Frankie the Genderfluid Pride Opossum
The "first batch" is all these designs we could get ready in time for this first mailing. If your order includes these items, it will ship out with the first batch. If your order includes some of the other designs, please note Second Batch below.
Second Batch: For all other designs, printing and shipping must wait until LuhBraz finishes the artwork - as we had many more designs get unlocked than we expected, this will take some time. She expects them to be finished by the end of January. At that point, we will print the shirts and get them shipped out to you guys. Expected delivery would be February.
Stretch Goal Items
As soon as the stretch goal items come in from the printer, we will be shipping out these orders for the first batch. We had six items for our backers bonuses, and here's where each is in the stage of manufacturing:
1. Sticker Pack: Order has been sent to the printer, waiting for them to produce the items and ship them to us
2. Enamel Pins: Order has been sent to the manufacturer, waiting for them to produce the items and ship them to us
3. Furry Wristbands: Order received, ready to go
4. Pocari Plush: Order received, ready to go
5. Poster Pack: Order received, ready to go
For Custom Shirt Backers
We don't have the option to split the questions as I thought to make it so you can select your custom shirt in the survey. Simply select any shirt and then message us to let us know which one you'd like replaced with the custom one. Thank you and sorry for the trouble.
Summary
For those of you who ordered shirts from the first batch, those will be shipping out as soon as the rest of the items come in, looks like about 3 weeks.
For those of you who ordered shirts in the second batch, i.e. the rest of the designs, we give you as much time as you like to choose, with the designs expected to be finished in January and shipping in February.
Thank you again for being an amazing supporter of this campaign! We are so excited to spread positivity and confidence in yourself to so many of our furry fandom friends. You are all awesome!

Kickstarter Q and A!
over 4 years ago
– Sat, Nov 23, 2019 at 10:57:49 PM
Hello everyone! Thank you so, so much for your amazing support for our Kickstarter. We are absolutely astounded to have reached every single one of our stretch goals, unlocking 22 new stretch goal designs for you guys. We are so happy to be able to include so many different identities and encourage acceptance for all different types of furries.
Many of you have been asking questions and so we thought it would be good to do a Q and A about the project.
Question: How do I pick which shirt design that I want?
Answer: In a couple of days, you will receive an email from a service called Backerkit.com - this service provides a number of great benefits to you guys. First, it allows you to pick the rewards that you prefer, and even to change/add rewards if you choose. Second, it double-confirms your address to make sure that we send the package to the right place. Simply fill out that survey when you receive it and look forward to getting the stuff in the mail!
Question: Will the profits from the campaign be going to charity?
Answer: Kickstarter does not allow campaigns to raise money for charity through their platform, note the rules here: https://www.kickstarter.com/rules However, we are donating a portion of the proceeds from online sales on our website after the Kickstarter so as not to violate Kickstarter's terms of service. The money will be going to The Trevor Project, a charity which helps prevent suicide in LGBT youth.
Question: When will designs be printed/shipped?
The following designs have already been finished, and most of these are being printed this week by our supplier. https://imgur.com/a/GNhquIm
For those that were finished in the past couple of days, or those that Luhbraz finishes in the next 2 weeks or so, we will be creating another order with our supplier. Kickstarter estimates that the funds verification will take about 2-3 weeks, so we can expect to have the funds by the middle of December and make the order then. The shirts should arrive to our location at the end of December for us to start shipping orders. Assuming that all of the stretch goal items have arrived, we will ship all the orders that we can using the designs that have been finished by then.
We are in the unexpected position of having 22 different stretch goal designs to make - this will take some time. LuhBraz expects to be able to finish these by the end of January. With that being the case, we will make another order at the end of January to print the rest of the shirts and fulfill the rest of the orders.
Question: How do I get a shirt from sizes 3XL-6XL?
Answer: Kickstarter only allows one price per reward, so we only offered sizes Small to 2XL as rewards on Kickstarter. You can pick up any of these designs on Backerkit in sizes 3XL to 6XL, by indicating that in your survey. Shirts sizes 3XL to 6XL cost slightly more from the manufacturer, usually a difference of $3. To be able to offer the shirts in these sizes, we add the additional cost that the manufacturer requires.
Question: Can I buy shirts after the campaign ends?
Answer: Yes - we will be offering them at our booth at Midwest Furfest, as well as on our website at http://artworktee.com
Question: Does ArtworkTee pay artists?
Yes - our base pay for artists is 3x their asking price, with the 200% extra covering a commercial use fee. LuhBraz, the artist behind the campaign, has said: "They were so caring, kind and fair through the entire process. As an artist, I never had a big client this nice, and I've worked for other companies and even big YouTubers in my country, who treated me in a completely opposite manner. I've never been this well paid."
Question: I was one of the backers for the Custom Design +10 shirts reward, how does that work?
First off, thank you for your generous support. The people who purchased the custom design will need to contact the artist via email to provide the reference sheet or other references for your character. Look for a separate update in a moment with that contact information. She will be drawing these designs after the stretch goal designs have been finished, and expects to be able to finish these designs by the end of February. With your pledge you get 10 shirts - you can pick of the designs from the campaign, or you can request copies of your own custom design to be printed when it is ready.
Feel free to send any more questions you have to [email protected] for our staff to answer.
Thank you so much for your amazing support and for helping our campaign succeed beyond anything we could imagine. You're the best!
