First things first: The Project is moving forward (slowly but steady):
Tiger Cub, Cheetah Cub & Snow Leo Cub's Digital Proofs are finished & Production ready, also The Tiger's Eye (and the Little Dragon Mini Pin, because I inquired them together ;)
Here they are!
Both Tiger Cubs. Don't worry, final Pin Outlines will be more fine.
Rainbow Metal will be darker, here it has a pastell touch. Oh, and you can see the Glow.
Many Big Cat's Pins are in the Proof Phase too, but they will have another Manu - just hadn't thought they are that ... slowly. Or just have much to do, who knows. 4th working Day today - If they don't answer Monday, I'll write them. I'll let you see the Proofs first, when I get them .... somewhen.
But for now: HERE ARE THE KITTIES!!!
Snow Leo :3 - Now with Face Marks & fully finished. I've adjusted the Eyes a little.
Brand New: the Canadian Lynx!
These Eyes...
Both Jaguarundi ;)
Puma, Cheetah & Pallas Cat
Tigers
And the... first TRY of a Jaguar is done, last week already, but I'm not that happy with it yet and will continue the Work on him Monday, so please be patient. Than I might be even able to show an updated Clouded Leo. I will have a new Update next week.
That were all Kitties, Images in the PreOrder Store will be actualized tomorrow, I'm out for most of the weekend. ________________________________________________
Whats next? PRINTOPIA!
My next Project will be Part of PRINTOPIA!
The Chronicles of Illumia & Shádarkor
Next to designing pins and plushies, writing stories is my great passion.
But: because of all the Pin Projects of the last months I wasn't able to work as much on the "Magic Animals"-Story as I wanted, so I decided to NOT join with this Project. It needs more time and it will get it. I also would love to offer some Merch for it, but there's to less time, enough work with all the Pin Stuff and packaging & shipping will take place in late summer/early fall.
So I'll give an other Story a chance, I wanted to publish some time earlier: The Backstory of "Magic Animals", called "The Chronicles of Illumia & Shadarkor" is an illustrated fantasy Light Novel which is playing in the same World, just a few hundred Years earlier.
(Starting Date not set yet.) Let's gain more followers to make this campaign reality!
The Furball Puppies: German Shepherd (left, really close to be finished) & Golden Retriever (right, needs corrections.)
Front: Position of Eyes & Cheeks
Side View. When it all works, it is finished.
Goldie needs a Shape correction. It also fits the Shepherd like that and they have a recocnizable Shape now. No Images of how I want to have the Face yet.
The Plan is getting more concrete to bring IceScream Cryptids 2 to life. The well known 9 Characters you already know (Wendigo is missing here) + 4 not yet published ones.
What my be different: - Lower Stretch Goals, therefore a lower MOQ from the Manu to make them easier unlockable - Only new Characters: Witch Cat, Pumpkin Pup, Werewolf & Bigfoot.
A few more changes are planed - more soon.
IceScream Cryptids 2
Excluding the Book Project I can't name any start dates yet. IceScream Cryptids 2 may start before Printopia, and the Furball Puppies after, that's all I can say.
