This week I'm excited to share with you the finished design for the Conquest pin! 😁 Here are the outlines:
I really like how the tail and the crown/halo turned out!
You might be wondering why I've changed the extended front leg from last weeks sketch? It was a practical decision because keeping that outstretched leg would mean I'd likely have had to make this pin 3" wide instead of my planned 2.5" in order to match the scale of the other designs. This would make it more expensive to produce than the others and I'd prefer to keep the prices of them all the same for the campaign to make it simpler for both you and me. 😅 Hopefully the Conquest pin still looks equally cool with the leg adjustment!
I've also taken several passes at the colours!I think I'm leaning towards going with the 4th version with the royal purple fabric, but what do you think folks? (I've addd a Poll at the bottom of this update!)
Conquest: blue
Conquest: green
Conquest: lilac and green
Conquest: purple
Next up will be the War pin! So far I've been messing around with sketches and I think I've settled on the pose for this design. Below you can see some of the rough sketch composites I made and then in the bottom right is the full sketch for the pin:
War: pose sketch progress
Next I'm moving on to figuring out what (if any) armour I want this guy to wear! I'm also debating adding scarring/injuries, maybe a frothing mouth? 🤔
I hope you're all enjoying seeing my pin design process for these! See you all next week! All the best,
