UPDATE, 2/29: PLAYMATS ARE ON THE WAY TO MY OFFICE!

UPDATE, 4/14: PLAYMATS HAVE ARRIVED! STILL WAITING ON SHIPPING BOXES.

UPDATE, 5/3: THEY’VE BEEN SHIPPED!

THE PLAY MATS PREORDERS ARE FINALLY OPEN! HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM NOW UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR:

• 24”x14” stitched-edge playmat, for durability.

• A depiction of a legendary scene with legendary characters from your favorite series and mine, lovingly and dare I say, obsessively, painted with acrylic on canvas, scanned, and made ready for this project.

• Limited edition: after the deadline ends, these playmats will never, ever, be available again!

STRETCH GOALS:

While I’m mainly making these because it’s fun to share and I’ve always dreamed of seeing my paintings on cards, it’s also cool to make a living! If this preorder does well, I’ll make announcements whenever a stretch goal is fulfilled. The unlocked cards will be automatically added to every DON order!

• 10,000: x1 Caribou, to go with the Strawhats.

• 15,000: x1 Vivi, to go with the Strawhats.

• 20,000: x1 Bon Clay.

• 25,000: x1 Kuzan, to go with the Blackbeard Pirates.

• 28,000: x1 Carrot, Regular and Sulong, double-sided.

• 30,000: x10 God Usopp

• and maybe more??

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!

A CHARACTER OR GROUP I LIKE ISN’T IN THIS SELECTION; WILL YOU ADD IT?

• If this preorder does well, I’ll definitely work on more! I’m considering the RA, Marines, Yonko crews, and Shichibukai to start!

WHAT IS THIS EARLY BIRD SPECIAL YOU’VE MENTIONED?

• From the start till the end of November, each order will receive a little free sticker as a token of appreciation, and there will be a small discount when you spend 90 dollars or more! In December, this deal will disappear.

WHY CAN’T I PURCHASE OTHER THINGS FROM YOUR STORE?

• A number of reasons! For one, I’ll be on vacation and can’t ship out orders in a timely fashion. It’ll also be easier for me to manage orders that are strictly play mats and don cards when packing them for shipment.

BY SOME MEANS, I’VE MISSED THIS PREORDER; IS THERE A WAY TO STILL GET THESE ITEMS?

• Nope! After this, they will never be sold again.

THE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COST ON YOUR SITE IS EXPENSIVE…

• Blame the economy! But in all seriousness, nowadays, it does cost me about 30 USD to ship outside of the US, and the costs are getting worse, and this isn’t including the packing materials. Something I recommend is making a bulk purchase with friends, so that way the shipping cost is divided and more importantly, cheaper.

WHEN WILL THESE BE SHIPPED?

• After December, I’ll take count of every order and start the process! It often takes about a month or two (sometimes longer) to communicate, make quality checks, manufacturing, shipping them over to me, and then FINALLY packing and shipping them out to you. Tentatively, I want to say APRIL, but if not, I’ll have updates on this page and send out emails every so often to keep you in the loop.

SOMETHING I WANT TO ASK REGARDING THIS, ISN’T ON HERE. HOW CAN I REACH YOU?

• Email is usually the best way, and you can contact me at artbywafalo@gmail.com for any inquiries. I don’t answer dms on Instagram or Twitter, as it’s hard to manage and annoying to keep track of.

• Additionally, please make sure you fill out the shipping address portion correctly! I’ve had a lot of customers fill out the forms wrong, and when I email them, there’s no response because it’s either gone to the spam folder, or they’ve given an invalid email. You can avoid this hubbub by being thorough the first time!

Thank you for taking the time to read through this; this has been a fun passion project for me as both an OP fan and TCG player, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I can! -WAFALO
