Welcome to the Villainy Ink Founders Campaign! Today is the day we set in motion the realization of a dream I have had for many years! Having been a miniature painter working in the grimdark style for decade now, I am well-versed in your needs. It is my promise now and until my ending that Villainy Ink enamels, and future products, will be hand-crafted by miniature artists, for miniature artists.
I am launching with the three essential weathering colors most often used in the grime dark style with future plans to add a full range of over twenty colors. Ever wonder what Carroburg Crimson would be like in enamel form? Well, I intend to make it. If we meet our funding goal and beyond I will add additional colors to this line such as Dystopian Brown, a dark brown enamel wash, and Decay of Death, a greyish-green enamel wash perfect wash for adding decayed effects to your gruesome miniatures. There are more colors I can add and certainly will if our goals are exceeded.
As stated, the Villainy Ink Enamel line will be hand-crafted by yours truly, and thus, I will need massive support from the community to see this through. There are several steps that will need to be taken in order to prepare my small 600 sqft studio for the addition of the equipment that is required for such a job on such a scale. Small to mid-scale Vat Mixers, Bottle Fillers, Label Makers, and Labeling Machines will be needed to work as my servitors, constantly toiling away per my bidding. Not only this, but a massive amount of product will need to be procured over the course of the first few batch cycles. This will insure that I am able to keep stock flowing into the community and brick-and-mortar stores that stock my products.
I have set a funding goal of a lofty 15,000 USD and have high hopes that it will be met. As I said, If we meet our stretch goals , I will be adding additional colors to the line
We've made it here... Now let's get this done! If money isn't something you can give, then please do everything else you can to support our cause. Share this everywhere, participate and interact with me on social media, and tell everyone you can about what is happening here.
Thank you for your time and support,

Updates
Villainy Ink Founders Campaign Update 1:
Funded! Lets keep rocking and try to reach 20k to unlock some more colors!
Common Issues:
PayPal return to website URL not working: No need to worry here, your order is accounted for. This error does not effect your order status and will be addressed after our techs are back from weekend break.
Dashboard Errors: Currently the Dashboard is experiencing an issue that tries to get you to create a WordPress account. This is not intended. Until our techs return and this is fixed, the best way to look at your Backer Dashboard is to find and click your name on the list of Backers near the bottom of the Funding Campaign.
Funds being held on PayPal: This affects you and me, though it is not necessary, your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. After you have placed your order, please verify your credits on your dashboard (see above for accessing your dashboard). These "Villainy Ink Credits" are the currency you will use to purchase the products when they launch in October. Bear in mind that what you are buying today is the currency to purchase the Villainy Ink enamels when they launch. No products physical products will available until after the production phase. Due to PayPal's policies, they expect a physical item to be shipped and therefore are holding funds for 21 days. To alleviate this and have the funds released, please check your order status on PayPal 2 business days after completing your check out and confirm that you have received the product, or in this case your Villainy Ink Credits. Again, this is not necessary, but if you are wondering why your payment is being held, this is why. If you receive a notification from PayPal that your order has been marked complete, that is me confirming that you have received your credits, and marking it complete. You confirming this will be helpful.
Villainy Ink Founders Campaign Update 2:
Due to a frequently asked question concerning credits, and how you, as a backer, will be able to choose your paints at launch, Villainy Ink Credit values and explanations has been added to Pledge levels.
