Sewing and costume creation has been happening at a rapid pace! Here are some teasers of the costumes. Maybe you can match them up to the concept art that we posted earlier.
We’re down to the last nine days on our Indiegogo fundraiser!

We’ve tried to make the reward levels for pledging reasonable and interesting. Here are some highlights:
