All KINKY CARDS are ready!

Hello everyone!
I want to give you an update on the fact that I've drawn all the new kinky cards for the second edition and recolored the previous ones. In total, all 54 cards for the second edition are ready! All that's left is to draw the remaining cards for the Fetish Icons. (By the way, suggest your ideas for models in the comments. Who should I draw? Who do you consider a fetish icon?)
We're also still thinking about where to print the cards because we want to choose the best option. The printing house in Poland said that the maximum card thickness they can do is 300 gsm, which is a bit thin. We want more durable, thick, and long-lasting cards. So we've contacted several manufacturers in China who can print NSFW art and have a good variety of materials and paper. They've sent us samples, and when they arrive, we'll be able to choose the best option and start printing. In the meantime, I'll finish drawing the remaining cards.
And now, take a moment to check out the comic by the co-creator of this project, Iggy!
Esme #1 from Project-Nerd by Iggy Michniacki
In a disease-ravaged, post-apocalyptic America, wealthy enclaves hire escorts for safe travel through dangerous wastelands. Enter Esme Ford, the best in the business.
The Kickstarter offers 4 cover options, including a NSFW variant, plus limited copies of The Escort #1. With the campaign nearing its first stretch goal, backers can unlock bonus perks by contributing.

For $25, you can get a version of the comic with a cover that I drew.
I also want to tell you about an awesome project by my friends from Korero Press to publish books by the famous pin-up artist Arthur Ferrier!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/estrus/arthur-ferriers-pin-up-parade
Korero Press has prepared a book-almanac of works by the famous pin-up artist of the past, Arthur Ferrier, for you. They will launch the campaign on November 12, but now you can subscribe to notifications.
They will publish 3 books of the complete collection of Arthur Ferrier's works for 3 decades (1940-1968). He was one of the most famous pin-up artists in Britain, and if you are a true pin-up connoisseur and collector, these books are for you! I love this style and dream of doing more works with ink with some storylines.
Thank you for your attention!!!

Progress Update

Greetings Backers!
We have a jam-packed update for you!
BACKERKIT
Survey completion on Backerkit is at 86%. Pretty good, but we need the last 14% of you to fill out surveys so we can get more accurate numbers on add-ons and shipping locations.
Apple Email: For privacy, Apple blocks iCloud emails from being picked up by most APIs. So if you have an Apple Email as your email for Kickstarter it didn't transfer to Backerkit. Email us ([email protected]) or message us to get that updated. We can still use your iCloud, we just have to manually put it in.
Backerkit Add-On Error: This week some backers reached out about Backerit duplicating their add-ons. There was a bug with Backerkit and they have resolved it. Everything should be acting normally now and you are good to finish your surveys.
PERKS PROGRESS
So much excitement happening with your perks!
Playing Cards: Andrew has made a point to the printer that we need the best quality we can get. Because of that, we have some adjustments. The cards will be thicker than previous ones. The cards are still at a thickness that is great for playing but also adds some additional sturdiness and durability. Andrew is also doing all he can to avoid standard tuck boxes, more on that soon. All of this, card and case quality, is for both the Standard and Luxury Decks.
Trading Cards: The Kinky Trading Cards will have the same quality enhancements as the playing cards. There will be twenty different designs as well as the special edition card only for backers due to hitting the stretch goal. Andrew will start releasing some of those designs soon.
Digital Book: Isn't that cover (above) beautiful!? As a reminder, all backers get the Digital PDF Art Book. And if you missed out on it, it's available as an add-on in the pre-order store.

Survey's Due Out This Week
about 2 months ago

Hi Backers.
We have a very quick update for you this week...
We're getting questions on when the surveys and Backerkit pre-orders will be up. We're working on that. Last time we launched Backerkit we made a huge mistake with not getting everything synced, so we're making extra sure it all is correct this time. As soon as the Backerkit Team confirms we're good to go, we'll send those out.
Expect some artwork previews, news, and more in next week's update!
Thank you.

Great news all around in this week's update...
Andrew Got Married!
That's right, Andrew Tarusov is now Mr. Andrew Tarusov as he tied the knot on Friday. We're so excited for Andrew and wish him all the best on this big adventure.
We Got the Money
Kickstarter relinquished the funds last week. This was longer than normal, maybe due to the new late pledge feature, but we have the payments that made it through none-the-less. That means we're finalizing details for the printers and you'll soon see Backerkit Surveys go out.
We also got questions about payments that didn't go through and how they could re-back. Check out the Late Pledge feature here, and if that's not working, we'll have pre-orders available in Backerkit when that launches.
Late Pledges Closing Soon
When we launch Backerkit, we'll be closing up the Late Pledge feature in order to start getting better counts. If you know somebody who wants to get in on these Kinky Cards, let them know there is still time.
Project-Nerd Has a Comic Book
Hey, we launched a comic book right here on Kickstarter and we need your help! Check out The Four, an action-packed comic book with fantastic artwork and a thrilling story. There are plenty of pledge levels at great price points you'll find enjoyable. Plus, if you have backed both Kinky Cards and The Four, we'll throw in an extra Tarusov art print when we ship out your copy of The Four!
BACK THE FOUR HERE
Thank you all for supporting independent projects, and send your love and good wishes to Andrew and his beautiful bride.
Thanks for your time and your pledges!
