Due to fabric Limitations of plush this size, this was the "closest purples" to the concept I understand this is VERY VERY PURPLE haha
I understand this may not be as accurate to the concept photo
Should we change him to an black/grey wolf
Keep the lighter purple and change body to black/dark grey
Keep the lighter Purples but change to a darker blues ((if available)
Keep the Purples

Backerkit surveys are coming very very soon! I'm about done fixing things, just wanted some feedback on the wolf ((may not be final colors)) before proceeding fully. I did get some of the newer pin designs done so I would like to show you!
Hope you enjoy! And thank you so much for the feedback!!
Amazing job all of you to our loyal fans and new fans!
Thank you so much for getting us this far! We are in the home stretch! I’m setting up the surveys which will go out in a few days after campaign ends and will allow for further add-ons and the pre-order store.
But can we unlock coy ness before we end?? I think we can! If not you all are amazing and we are so grateful for how far we've gotten!
We need just a little more to unlock her so lets see if we can!
It's the nearing the end of the campaign! With just a few hours left I thought I'd make a final update with some new artwork for the Backer's Choice stretch goals, exciting news about a giant dragon pin, and some updated information for the upcoming Pledge Manager stage!
---------------------------------
Foxfire Kitsune 2nd Color Vote Results:
The results are in, and backer's chose the black and green color variant for the second kitsune colorway! As of this moment, only the deluxe pin artwork has been finalized, but the standard pin and mini pins will be taken to a finish in complimentary colors by the time the Pledge Manager arrives.
-----------------------------------------------
Dragon Tide Designs
The Dragon Tide designs are partially available to look over.
In exciting news, the deluxe pin for the Dragon Tide set will be a massive 100mm and will feature a shimmery gradient pearl shift in the water portions of the pin. This extra large size will make the dragon a real show-stopper of a pin for your pin boards and Ita bags.
In even better news, I've spoken with my manufacturer to get a quote for this larger size. While it will cost quite a bit more per unit to produce such a large pin, I'll be able to offer it at the same price as the other deluxe pins for this campaign! Any pledge that has a deluxe pin will have ANY of the deluxe pins as selectable options in the pledge manager stage, including this the extra-large Dragon Tide pin! (Note: after the campaign and pledge manager selection is over, I'll probably need to charge a bit more for this pin if I sell it online or in person, but those who backed the campaign can get it at the same price as the 3" deluxe pins!) At this time, only the mini pin and deluxe pin previews are available. Dragon Tide will have two color variants, the same as the other Elemental Myth pin themes. The final artwork, including the standard pin/pendant and color selection will be available in the Pledge Manager so you'll be able to see exactly what you're getting!
----------------------------------------------
Pledge Manager Information:
If you've ever backed a Backerkit or Kickstarter campaign before, you may be familiar with the Pledge Manager. If you're not, the Pledge Manager is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to provide your shipping information, specify the exact designs that you would like to receive, add on additional items, and pay any remaining balances for your pledge. (for most people this will be your shipping charge.) It's a great way to review your order and ensure you're getting exactly what you want.
Backer's Choice Designs: The Kitsune Blind, Foxfire Kitsune, Dragon Tide, and Dragon Tide second colorway will all have final artwork at the time of your Pledge Manager selection.
Pledge Manager Timeline: A link to the Pledge Manager should be sent out near the end of February.
----------------------------------------------
A Learning Experience:
This was my first Pintopia, and I've had a wonderful time participating this year. We reached our funding goal and then some, and all of the pins in this campaign will have their production costs fully covered and be able to be produced! This is truly wonderful to have happen as an artist, and allows me to do something I otherwise wouldn't be able to do. Thank you so much for supporting my campaign.
During this campaign, I've been learned quite a few things I hope to put into effect for future projects. The most relevant of which is stretch goal preparation:
Preparing Stretch Goals: For this campaign, I offered two Backer's Choice stretch goal themes. (you folks were awesome, and met them in short order!) I love that backers were able to voice their preferences for which themes they were enthusiastic to see. The outcome was not what I would have predicted, and I would have chosen different sets if left to my own devices. However, creating pins in response to polls left me with a lot of artwork to create mid-campaign!
My takeaways from this experience are:
The backer's choice stretch goals were a wonderful way to engage with the community and get feedback I could immediately act on.
Doing two complete theme collection stretch goals (4 designs each, 2 colorways each) as Backer's Choice was a bit more than I was prepared for, at least in terms of finishing the artwork before campaign's end.
If I create another pin project in the future, I should only do 1-3 pins as Backer's Choice stretch goals, and have any additional stretch goals that I want to include be prepared in advance with final artwork ready-to-go. A little bit of on-the-spot artwork creation is great! But having most of the stretch goals ready-to-go would have been a boon to both myself and my backers.
Note: You will see the final artwork for Dragon Tide and Kitsune Blind when you make your Pledge Manager selections. I'm just regretful that I wasn't able to finish the final artwork during the campaign itself!

A Shout-Out to Dragon Hoard Keepers
I've been chatting with my collab partner Dream Vale Studios for the duration of this campaign. They've been a great partner to work with, and it's wonderful that events like this can bring artists together!
Dragon Hoard Keepers is a campaign to create a huggable 7" companion plush designed to safely stow your favorite trinkets, tokens, coins, and other polyhedral treasures! There's even a mini version of this charming plush friend! In addition, hobby-hoarders can celebrate their love of collecting their favorite things through dragon hoard enamel pins. These dragon collectors hoard their favorite dice, yarn, potions, and more! The pins and plush are seriously cute. You should definitely check the out if you're a dragon-fan, or need a unique way to store and transport your dice!
If you haven't already heard, if you back both Elemental Myth and the Dragon Hoard Keepers campaign, you will receive a free cross collaboration reward from both campaigns with the Fire & dIce collaboration pin set. If you back both campaigns, this pin will automatically be added to your pledge in the Pledge Manager stage if you were a backer of both projects. I will send you the dIce gryphon when your awards arrive from Elemental Myth; Dream Vale Studios will send the Fire Keeper when your rewards arrive from Dragon Hoard Keepers!

But anywho!!!
So be sure to vote below for the design for the freebie Nightcrawler pin for physical tiers! Have a hecking wonderful weekend everyone!!
What if the Lock Stress Monsters are shape shifted forms of the Dream Keep Dragons? Should they be a completely separate thing, or should they be connected?
If part of same characters and universe: In their natural forms, Dream Keep Dragons protect dreams, and keep them safe. However, emotions are deeply tied to dreams and somethings you need to go through them and work them out in your dreams to process.
When the dream Keep Dragons come down from their Comfort Kingdom they must always cross the vast ocean of emotion. To not get dragged down by the power of the raging waves of emotion, they must shift into the Lock Stress form.
They can sense and seek out the person who needs them most, and start in their small pocket form so they can be there for the human calling to them. However, as they grow with love just like their dream defender form, they can also grow into their “Emotion monster” form. Large enough to help you calm and settle your strongest emotions.
What do you think? Should this be tied to the dream keep dragons as their water forms? Or a cousin ajacent to the lock stress monsters, like how there are “Sea Ponies” in my little pony?” Or should they be something separate all together?
WE DID GUYS!!!! You are all amazing!!! Next up is “Happy Ness, then Sad ness and THEN Dark Ness!!! We can do it guys! Just keep sharing and telling your friends to pledge! Even if you’ve already pledged you can also now adjust your pledge to be a higher tier if you want more than one nessie!
Remember today is the last day for early birds so if you want to adjust your tiers do it today! You can get 4 nessies for just 100 25 each! Or all of them in the set for $200! The more you order the faster we will unlock them! You can choose your choices at the end of the campaign.
We are starting with Silly Ness, but I plan to prototype others, but only in the order that they are chosen. If we could get another weighted one who would be your choice to have as a weighted nessie?
