About us

Hello family, friends, and strangers alike!

We are the Nailon Realm, a small group of artists with decades of experience in illustration, animation, sculpting, and character design. Our team is made up of four owner-artists — Nate, Cailon, Tatiana, and Helen — who have combined our skills to create experiences that go beyond a nat 20! Our company has existed for nearly two years, and in that time we have created tons of content for our patrons on Patreon. Click the link to take a look!

Over the holidays, two of our owner-artists lost their full-time jobs, and with that huge life change, we have decided to sharpen our focus on developing the Nailon Realm into everything we've always wanted it to be.

Our plans

We have big plans in the works, including the launch of our brand-new online store, new animation projects, and vending our wares at festivals and conventions. This is where we need your help most.

Our first vending event will be at the Fremont Fair in Seattle, WA, on June 17 & 18. Together, the four of us have defined our plans, set our goals, and identified the items that we'll need to make this happen. Most of our creative endeavors require just our time, but we have discovered that vending has several associated costs that we are struggling to cover. Below are a few of the items that we will need to buy:

Application and booth fees - $475
10'x10' Portable canopy - $100
2'x4' Logo banners (x2) - $200
Display risers/accessories - $100
2'x6' Metal grid display stand - $184
3'x4' Metal grid cube display system - $120
2'x3' Corkboard display - $30

All of that adds up to a whopping $1,209. Fortunately, everything except for the fees are reusable items that we will have for all of our upcoming vending events. We have plenty of weather-controlled storage space so we will be able to keep these items in top condition when they are not in use.

Auction details

So here's our next step: we have created this auction to help us raise vending funds for the Fremont Fair and beyond. Our uber-talented illustrator, Nate, will draw a fair-style caricature of your pets, up to two pets per illustration. Available in black-and-white only or color added.
