Hey all! We are in the final few days of this project. You've all been incredible and helped us smash through every goal, thank you! 🥳

We are cramming a LOT into the two shoot days already so we won't be able to add more onto this campaign, but we're super excited to get together, get everything shot, and deliver your goodies to you! And who knows? There might be a few extra surprises along the way. ;)

If you want to join me and hopefully a few other members of the project for our end of campaign online party you can catch that on my Twitch starting Friday Aug 16th at 7:30PM Eastern. We'll be live through the end of the campaign at 8PM eastern that night and hang out a little after if people want to chat or ask questions. 

Please keep sharing the project with artists in your community so they can know about this and get the super cool rewards!! 🥰 Yay poses! 

Hey all! Just wanted to make a quick update to celebrate unlocking the $10k suit goal! 🕺🏻 We've started discussions (fights?) about who's getting what color suit and I've started collecting measurements from people for the custom manufacturing. 

As a reminder, we won't be doing the full shoot in these suits. They have some limitations with mobility and they are QUITE warm under the lights. 🔥 But we hope to have a really cool selection of images in them especially stuff with perspective and foreshortening considering how very helpful they are for those types of refs.

You've supported this project so strongly!! We are super excited about everything! We're working on a few more ideas of things we can fit into the weekend without over burdening ourselves and our resources. Two things we're considering is doing part of the shoot with alternative lighting and also including some video.

Please feel free to leave a reply here if you think those two ideas might be helpful! 🥰

The project has 11 days left. If you see posts on the AdorkaStock socials give them a comment, like, or share! Help us keep yelling so we can reach as many interested artists as possible. 🌟 

Thanks again, can't wait to do this!

Wow what a great couple of days we've had! 🌟

I'm excited to let you know that Ruby and David have been unlocked! I am SO excited to be able to bring these two along on our group photo shoot. That means we're going to have SIX models so far. As we work through stretch goals, even more goals will be added... So this is NOT it! There's much more to come.

Our next unlock was aerial and underwater at $9k. THANK YOU! Blue, our photographer, has been practicing her underwater technical skills and she's so excited to see how drastically improved this project's efforts will be!

Next up is $10k to unlock grid suits for everyone! This would have us ordering custom suits for every model which we would wear for *some* of the photos. We'll aim to do at least a few hours of shooting with the suits, especially for poses with a lot of perspective and foreshortening as that's where they really shine! Please note that suits can be hot and uncomfortable so not all photos will be taken in the suits if this stretch goal is unlocked. ♥

And who knows...? What will come? After? That? I've already started a little plotting and scheming muhahaha :3

Please remember that BackerKit is a pledge now, pay later system. You will not be charged right away for your pledge... Money will come out of your account at the end of the campaign, August 16th. So please back with care.

Wow, we did it! Thank you so much to everyone for the support and the help yelling!! I'm very excited we're going to get to do this shoot. 

We're now working on Stretch Goals, the first of which is MY SUPER EXCITING invitation to Ruby AKA Fugitive Rabbit (who runs FatPhotoRef.com) and David the Arrow Bard AKA Blumineck. 

If you help us get to $8k we'll be including these two most lovely humans in our epic group shoot!! The last time we did a big shoot we had four models so it will be fun to be able to expand to six. I already am bubbling with composition ideas!

Speaking of ideas...
As we proceed through the fundraising and booking for this event will be looking to you all for lots and lots of suggestions! If you have some multi-model themes, compositions, etc that you really want us to include please leave us some comments about them! We are going to be working from a big list during the multiday shoot and the more we can add to that list the better. 

This next stretch goal will also unlock some additional props for us which (FINGERS CROSSED) will include a pole rental for David to do his thing!!! 

I'm wildly excited to have the project funded and now I just need everyone's help to keep spreading the word to artists all over the world about this cool event. We have some more ideas to do if the funding continues past these goals so please keep helping us yell and we can make it even more awesome. 🥰✨
