Ningyou is going to be open to all dolls and figurines this time around, not just Groove Dolls and Pinkyt figures.
We are currently looking for new staff members to help out, so if you interested please apply.
As of right now, we do not have the funding for Issue 5 to go to print. A combination of fewer pre-orders than normal coupled with lackluster ad sales has created this dilemma. We have all intents to print the magazine as soon as we have the funding to do so. Basically, we need your help.
For anyone who would care to donate $50 or more to help get Issue 5 printed, Sheepie will make a full outfit set. Set includes undergarments, socks, pants/skirt, shirt, jacket, and 3 accessories (hat, glasses, jewelry, hair decor, etc.). Sets can be made to fit any of the Groove family dolls. Contact Sheepie@dollymarket.net for information.
In addition, pre-orders for Issue 5 are still open. A link to the order form will be listed at the bottom of this post.
We also have a few copies of Issues 3 and 4 still available for purchase as well.
Another way to help would be to purchase advertisement space if you are someone who takes commissions for doll clothing, face-ups, etc. Contact Kanamai@dollymarket.net for information.
Thank you for your continued support, and we sincerely hope that this doesn’t cause to great of a delay in getting Issue 5 to print!
Ningyou Issue 5 Pre-Order Form
If you would like to pre-order the buttons please send an email to Pita.Parfait@dollymarket.net with the following information:
Name –
Address –
Paypal Email Address –
Fullset? (yes or no) –
If no, which buttons? (Pita, Parfait, Kyouka, or Zenzi) –
Pre-orders will end November 15th, 2010. The buttons will be ready to ship by the end of November.
Also coming soon will be charms and sticker sets of the Pita & Parfait crew.
In honor of the season, DM is holding a contest for art of the Pita & Parfait! characters. The sky’s the limit (or is it?) to what you can draw, but keep it relevant to the season. We’re looking specifically for pictures depicting a scene, whether or not the scene could actually happen. For instance, trick-or-treating, or fending off a zombie attack, or a crazy slasher flick, or alien abductions… or a simple fall festival. Whatever you feel like creating.
Pictures should be in a 4:3 or 16:10 wallpaper-sized resolution (1600×1200 or 1920×1200 preferred) and should be in full color. PNG is the preferred format.
Entry deadline is Midnight on November 7th. You may submit as many entries as you’d like. The winner of the contest will be chosen by the forum moderators. All entries will be posted in a gallery on the site for all to see.
Prizes for the winner will include:
– Set of Pita & Parfait buttons
– Copy of Ningyou Issue 5
– Mystery Prize
So get to work, make something awesome, and, most of all, have fun!
