Big big big long awaited Furenzy update! (Patreon)

YES I have been VERY busy with this, as you will be able to tell as you read through this update post! 

First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize about the lack of content for the last month! This was all so much work and I've been trying to compile it all but with all of it coupled with work and injuries, everything has been a huge blur. Now, onto the update...

So! I was going to launch an open Beta to test my shirts, but I was unable to do it in the time limit that I had allotted myself due to all of my coworkers injuring themselves at the same time, myself included. That part is kinda weird/funny because no one's injuries were related. I was the least injured out of everyone, my arm just going numb with some pain (I think I may be developing arthritis rip me lol). 

However! Fortunately, even though I was unable to work on Furenzy because of the workload, I was using my big machine at my job! I was using it and creating prints with it for customers with lots of random orders. Because of this, I got tons of feedback with people washing the shirts and beating them up. They are very durable! I've had no issues so far with any of my customers, even ones who have been wearing their shirts daily and washing them a LOT. I'm really happy about this! :) I will still be sending out shirts to our beta testers regardless, but luckily I got the feedback I needed so we're all good!

I also did a bunch of test prints to find the best quality settings and I settled on the Very Important Tee from District. It's really nice! I'm very impressed :)

I also did a test print of one of the other images that won't be using white ink. It turned out really good! I liked it so much that I ended up taking the test print home with me! Hahah :)

I also took some time to create a custom tag with washing instructions to test out for this shirt. I think it turned out nice!

Because everything turned out so nicely, I decided to go with them and create some mock-up previews. I'm still making them, but these are the ones that I have finished so far!

The website is a big part of making Furenzy work, but it's also the most time consuming and tedious. I've put together a lot of it so far, but it isn't done yet. Here's some previews of how it looks currently.

I've created a lot more than just that, but not everything is in complete working order yet... There's a lot to do, but I'm determined to do it as quickly and accurately as I can!

I also have put together a few things for promotion and marketing, including business cards, retail tags, promotional sticker, a special promotion I'll be doing in the holiday season, and a few others.

I also got some poly mailers to ship everything out in! I got some stuff to customize them with :)

So, I received these items, and I got to work! The first pass through was a bit of a trouble...

There were a lot of issues with it, so I decided to make the design bigger and less complicated. I ended up with these, which I think were very successful! However, I found out that I definitely need a different type of ink, which I will be ordering as soon as possible.

Other than that, I am still creating mockups, finishing up the website, creating graphics for all of it, and I will be ordering a few more machines to make everything work out.

It's been a wild ride, but I'm still holding on! Sorry it took a bit to get this update out. Hopefully you guys think it's cool!
