Inactive

Hello! I wanted to make a formal announcement that 13crowns is going to be inactive for a long time, if not indefinitely.

It's been a very long time since we as studiomates have collaborated, having all drifted off to focus on our own projects and endeavours. Additionally, since Coey and myself (Shy) aren't planning to do anymore compilation books (or at least not for a long, long time), there's no reason for us to continue the use of the studio name for our cohesion and promotion.

I'll be keeping the Tumblr in case of future projects, but it will pretty much just be a place-holder and log of previous activity. Our Etsy's name has changed to reflect this shift to our exclusive, personal use, though all traffic through old links will be redirected automatically. (The shop will also still host Felix' items occasionally).

Thanks to all of you who've supported 13crowns projects, either by patronage or participation! We couldn't have done this much without you!

Hi, I am investing in the best ink jet printer for my illustrations and I am wondering what printer you use for yours? thank you so much

We've been ordering prints through a trade printer for a couple years now, so I'm not sure how well I might be able to answer this. We used to print from home with an HP inkjet which were pretty nice, though it was a very expensive one that printed up to 13" wide.

Sorry I'm not more help!

I love the stuff you make and my items came in quicker than I thought! However, in the future, could all paper items be mailed with cardboard or something? The two xmas card I asked for got badly creased near the middle. It was disappointing to find out, considering one of them is going to be a gift to a cousin.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry about that! We typically don't have many problems with this, but I will look into backing boards and see what I can find.

If you would message me on Etsy I would be happy to replace the creased cards!-Shy

Will the GhostBook and GoreBook be available for sale in the new year?

I’m sorry, but those books are out of print!

For GhostBook, at least, I believe there are still some participants with copies available online. There’s a few posts on this tag, but I suggest looking through the general tumblr tags as well.

We have closed the online shop for a month or so to give Shy a bit of a break. All active orders we have will be fulfilled, including the preorders for pencil cases, and IndieGoGo rewards which will be going out in mid-September. 

If you have any questions about an order you're placed, please contact us on Etsy.

3 Big IndieGoGo Updates!

1. Mars goes in for surgery tomorrow! She’s going to get all her teeth pulled, and also a lump (which we hope is just a cyst @ m @;;) removed from her chest. The vet has been nice enough to only charge for the removal of the lump, not the diagnosis if it seems to be something more than a cyst! We were only able to get her into surgery so soon because of all the contributions to our IndieGoGo, so we’re extraordinarily grateful! The vet will be putting us on a payment plan so long as we can pay for the first half right away, which we now can! I will be adding updates as she recovers.

2. Shy’s medical updates. My gallbladder is malfunctioning, so surgery is inevitable. Now it’s just trying to figure out how soon that might be. Apparently, we caught it in the early stages (not that it’s felt like “early stages”, thought I was dying @ n @), so I’m seeing a specialist to try and decide when to go through with removal. Also, I’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. This explains a lot of problems I’ve had throughout my life, so it’s a relief to have the some answers (and meds!!). Now it’s just up to meds and saving up for surgery!

3. The roof is finally scheduled to be fixed! We wouldn’t have been able to manage the downpayment for the work if not for the campaign, and without the downpayment we couldn’t have scheduled the repairs. This upcoming monday, the roof will finally be repaired!

Thanks again to every single one of you who’s contributed and reblogged/retweeted the IGG. We will starting to send out the perks next week!

Thanks to all of you who have contributed or signal boosted. This crazy summer has been made smoother thanks to every one of you <333

Mars is home and seems happier already (or maybe just doped up...)! Her teeth really must have been bothering her, poor baby. The surgery went perfectly, and they've sent the cyst off for testing. She's been sleeping on my desk all night ahhhh bb Marzipan <3

Recently, Emily was sweet enough to help us figure out how to make small bags! We've ordered a starting batch to test the waters with selling them, so here are preorders! 

Bags are 5 x 8 inches, printed on durable 600d polyester fabric with a zipper enclosure, and smaller zippered pouch inside.

Preorders: $12, will be open for 2 weeks, and include a random free charm! After preorders, the charm will no longer be included, and prices may rise to $13-15 depending on demand.

Giveaway Rules: reblog up to 2 times. Two winners will be picked at random all rebloggers on August the 31st, at 9:00pm EST. Winners will given one bag of their choice (without charm).

ART THEFT ALERT!!!

We were recently alerted the site, osomwear, was selling one of Coey's Sherlock pieces ( 1 & 2 ) as a shirt, which we did not give permission for them to reproduce or sell. We have contacted the site via email with a cease and desist, and will be checking back with it later.

However, the site seems to sell a lot of (what looks to be) fanwork, and given the use of Coey's work without permissions, I'm suspecting there's more art theft at work here.

Please take a look through the site's inventory and contact the artist(s) of any piece(s) you may recognise. DO NOT contact osomwear; contact the artist and allow them to handle any possible theft. 

SQUEEEEEEE!!!!! PLUS I FINALLY GOT ZEE BIOSHOCK STICKERS! !!! I GOT 2 OF DEM TOOOOO. EEEEEE!!!!

I LOVE YOU GUYS. :3

Shys art is fucking amazing btw guys. You Srsly need to go check her out from 13crowns. Especially if you’re into horror.

I received goodies from Coey and Shy’s Indiegogo. I got a chibi commission of Lavena. She even has her broken/flaming sword- yay! This week is great.

I am often terrible with deciding where to put stickers. I guess I can admire how cute they are for now.

Thank you and good luck you two!

I saw in your announcement post that you said you think that Otakon isn't allowing the sale of stickers this year but on the website in the artist alley rules there's nothing that actually says that? Sorry if this comes off as being rude or anything, I was just excited to buy more of the awesome stickers this year. :^)

No problem!The verdict is still out on stickers, it seems. I shot the alley admins a message and didn't really get an answer one way or the other, as of yet.

You can now purchase a copy of my variant of Bee & Puppycat #1! There are two listings: one is for just the signed comic, and the other is for the signed comic plus a custom sketch card (character of your choosing!). 

I also put up some extra inventory that I had lying around like my Bravest Warriors variant (issue 20 cover D), Carry On Wayward Losers (Supernatural zine), Castiel keychains, and my last copies of GhostBook. 

Go check it out! :) 

Anissa's selling her copies of GhostBook on her new SE shop!

Hello, everyone! Well, things have gotten so tight, we've had to swallow our pride and make an Indiegogo campaign to help us get back on our feet. The IGG page goes into detail, but the TL;DR is we've had so many unexpected and expensive bills between my trips (and probable future trips) to the hospital, the tree falling on the house and the damage it caused, and one of our cats needing surgery soon, that everything is backed up, financially. We can't afford even basics for the time being, like restocking inventory for Otakon (which is in less than a month), getting the car fixed, down to basic bills which are going to start coming in soon.

The IGG campaign gives out thank-you cards, prints, stickers, and discounts to our Etsy shop. It's difficult for us to stomach blatantly asking for financial help, so we tried to compensate any donations a bit, somehow.

Also I (Shy) am taking marker-coloured character-commissions through the IGG campaign for $50 (this includes shipping the piece to you). I've been thinking of taking some, anyway, so it just seemed to fit in as a perk for IGG. Here's examples of my marker work.

Regardless of if you can contribute or not, it would be a HUGE help if you would reblog/retweet this to get word around. With our next con being still a month away, and a lot to pay for before it, We're really in a bind!

Thanks so much to everyone who's been so kind to us in the past, and for anyone who contributes or reblogs this IGG post!

I decided to combine my intense feelings for Monster Hunter Ultimate’s monster icons and the amazing designs of  Puella Magi Madoka witches into a series of collectable stickers for the magic girls among us > v > think of them as merit badges? If merit badges are gained from murdering the poor tortured souls of those you once called friends. Am I right?! On our etsy as a poster or sticker set! Check em out! :D  I can never decide if Oktavia or Homulilly are my fav witches tho. So lovely. All of them T A T <333333 -COEY! _______

So, uh, it’s been a pretty crazy year. A lot of stress, a lot of crazy what-the-fuck-is-adult-life stuff.

The last 3 weeks have been particularly insane (and costly…). I’ve been in hospital twice for chest pain & tightness, light-headedness, nausea, then severe stomach & gut pain. Highlights include getting to see the veins in my arm via ultrasound, goofy nurse man making it look like my bee was holding the IV and drinking my blood, and a neato IV bruise because goofy nurse man stuck me 45987 times. They seem to have narrowed it down to my gallbladder, but I’ve got to go in for a HIDA scan to confirm it. The hospital was supposed to call to set up an appointment with me this week, but;

My phone bricked.  . ____ . I’ve been having a lot of problems since I updated to 7.1.1; quite a few 4/4s users have, and it finally fried my mobile Monday. So I’ve had to steal Coey’s for the last few days, because;

3 large limbs of our tree snapped off in a storm Monday night and landed on the backside of our house, ripping the powerlines off and knocking the gutter off the eave. There doesn’t seem to be any structural damage to the house (which I’m eternally grateful for), though the tree cleanup itself is a big chunk out of our budget.

Customer service for our Etsy/Storenvy/KickStarters has really tanked for a few weeks thanks to all this, so I apologise for all the delay in message responses and even shipping orders. I’m hoping things will calm down more (please oh please).

Hospital bills are starting to come in, along with the tree removal fees and having to OUTRIGHT BUY A NEW PHONE THANKS iOS 7.1.1 YOU PIECE OF SHIT. I’m going to hide under my desk away from the bill pile now.

Update on my lack of response/customer service. i'll try to get back into the swing of things!
