Funding for the campaign is getting close to the last stretch goal I had with the initial ones, so I have a poll up with sketches that I ended up not using. But want to see which ones people like best for a further stretch goal. These are just rough designs to give some idea of the critters in each one.
The poll is still going, but the flying stamps is definitely ahead. I was going to make the winner unlock at $1500 and it's already almost there! Second place is still close, so I went and did the ones that were close when I checked earlier which was the foil designs. So here's the flying animal stamps and the foil designs with the animals labelled. I might still edit these some but here they are. I went and included some fossils in the area to fill in the dirt in the underground scene.
If all initial stretch goals are reached, what do you want to see more of after that?
If there are any specific color combos you’d like to see feel free to comment them on the poll as well.
It was a close shave with the Terror Bird, but the Smilodon reigns supreme as king of the ice age! The famous saber-toothed tiger is available to pledge for now, but you'll have a better look at the pin design in the next update as we work to depict it.
Which brings us to the next good news... the Permian Era stretch goal has just been unlocked!! And we need your help to decide which animal makes it to the lineup!
⛰️ The Permian Is Upon Us
Known best for the dominance of theraspids and synapsids, these "mammal-like reptiles" weren't all that roamed the land during the Permian! Life would undergo a huge boom in biodiversity, from ray-finned fish in the oceans, to the largest insects that had ever roamed planet Earth.
If there's an animal you feel strongly about and don't see on the poll, make sure to comment them below! Depending on the campaign's success, runner-ups may see a comeback, even if they don't win first place. Vote below for what animal you want to see represent the Permian Era!
Howdy, paleo pals! I am absolutely thrilled to take part in the Beasts & Botanicals collab with so many talented artists, we're excited to bring you goodies like exclusive collab stickers, a huge zine, and so much more!
This time around, I'm setting up the campaign a bit differently than I normally would: one or a couple animals will represent history's most famous eras of life, and I need YOUR guys' help to vote on the best of the best to fill out the stretch goals!
I have a few definites you'll see in the base campaign, but if there's popular demand, or we blaze past the goals I already have planned, you'll be seeing more and more options to pitch your favorite prehistoric beasties 🦖
Thank you so much for your interest, I'll see you all at campaign launch tomorrow! But for now... Vote below for what animal you want to see represent the Pliocene Era! What's YOUR favorite ice age titan?
Not only has the campaign reached its goal of $750, but you guys have blazed past the first four stretch goals! Equus, Allosaurus, Baryonyx, and the yet-to-decide Pliocene animal are all on the table to pledge for.
We're on track to seeing through the last two goals, so an additional "Set of Nine" pledge tier is being added to reflect this, for folks who want to add all the new pins without fussing with add-ons!
🦣 The Ice Age is Upon Us
The Pliocene poll closes tomorrow afternoon, so make sure to cast your vote for what ice age animal makes it to the lineup, or suggest your favorite if you don't yet see it! So far, the sabertooth, terror bird, and dire wolf are battling for the top spot.
Afterwards, we'll host the Permian poll and see which mammal-like reptile is a league above the rest once and for all. Thanks for helping build the campaign as it goes!
🐩 Puppysaurs Collab!
Hosted by the amazing YuuniNya, Puppysaurs is collaborating with Paleo Pals for Beasts & Botanicals! Back both projects and you'll receive not one, but 2 FREE exclusive stickers, one from each campaign! They'll add themselves to your orders should you back both.
Thank you so much again for an PHENOMENAL launch on this first day! Make sure to check out the other incredibly talented creators contributing to Beasts & Botanicals while you're here, but we'll be back soon enough with the first poll winner and their design!
