Project Update: 🐉 Coming soon! / Pin previews! 🐟

Hi again!!

Some of you may have noticed that I have another campaign coming up very soon... 

On September 1st I'll be launching Dragon Pond!! A campaign of noodle-y water dragons that are inspired by different types of koi fish! :D

I am still crunching stuff together (like I have a bad habit of doing) but I wanted to share a sneak peek of what's to come!!!

First... freebies!!



Both are freebies you can acquire during the campaign and during the Pin Ren Faire mini event!

The Dango Koiyaki (left) can be received if you back Dragon Pond and two other Pin Ren Faire campaigns! You'll also get freebies from everyone else you backed! UPDATE: Sorry, I mislead you! The Dango Koiyaki (left) is earned if you back all four campaigns during Pin Ren Faire!

The Bagged Koi Fish (right) can be earned if you back both Dragon Pond and my collab partner's campaign: Fairytale Flea Market! You will also receive a collab freebie from Nichols & Dimes Illustration!

(If you back both me and Nichols & Dimes AND one more person from Pin Ren Faire, you'll get the chance to earn at least FIVE free pins! Dang!)

And with that... DRAGONS.


Here is a sneak peek of one variant from a larger koi dragon and a smaller, baby version! This one is designed off of the shiro bekko koi, which is white with black spots! It has teal chrome to really make it shine.


I also have a little preview of another large one based on the Shusui and some lineart for other babies!

There will be 1-3 large dragons and 3 baby dragons by the start of the campaign, all with multiple koi-inspired variations!

Large dragons will be around 4" in length (sounds bigger than it will look, believe me) while baby dragons will be closer to 2", possibly less. :)

Follow along for more info!!!

Thanks so much for looking!
