Project Update: 🐶 Plans for Launch & 2nd Round of Samples 🐶
Hi, Furball Friends!
While the Samples taking shape more & more, the Plans for the Campaign also do.
After thinking & calculating what would be the best way, I came to the decision to keep the Campaign a little smaller than I wanted it to be the first time.
We will just have 7 Puppy Breeds instead of 12 - for now.
Which ones? I'll come back to it below.
Different colorways are still planed ;)
It also won't be the last Furball Puppy campain, it will continue over the time ;3
But I first want to groove into that Plushie Business & don't overwork myself the first time.
It also has to do with the logistics, their cost & my Plans for 2 small to midsized conventions in early 2027, here in Germany and all stuff of organizing this. (Application phase. Not set yet.)
At the moment I don't have the capacity for 12 Breeds (what would be (!)1200 Plushiiieees), just for 6-7 ... hundered...
Funfact: I have the luck living just 500m from one of those big selfstorage room buildings that swapped over from the States to Europe in the past few years - no far ways & a faster shipping. It's also cheap. xD
Sooo...

Now: the funny Part!!!
We have new Samples of the Goldie and the Shepherd!
Let's compare the old and the new Version:
Let's compare the old and the new Version:
These are the corrections on the OLD Sample.
-> The new Sample has finally long ears & the color of Ears & Tail is darker now - as I wished ;)
(What has the reason that the Main Fur color is lighter now - it can be that easy sometimes...)
The longer Fur is availabe in less colors than the short, and the darker ones where to dark allready. But I'm superhappy with that decision. Color isn't looking that orange anymore.
- I also like the head to be bigger, and not that eggshaped.
- From the front it might get another small shape correction, but it is so close now!
A few little Changes about the Face emboidery, bigger Eyebrows, Cheeks more Oval and more rosy, maybe changing the angle of the Eyes. I tried when making the overdraw of the 1st sample, but It did'nt look how I wanted, so... (probably) last final round.
And: the Nose is too round, that will be fixed.

Like I said in the previous Update, I wanted the Goldie's Body a little "shorter", what worked great. About ~1cm shorter it matches the Bodyshape of the Shepherd and the desired FurBALL Puppy Shape.
New Sample: In reallity the Furcolor should be more saturated.
The Corrections I want to make:
Let's come to the Shepherd:
Front VIEW:
The eyes came out supercute.
But the Plushie needs some fixes. Mostly to make the Snout rounder, the cheeks oval and maybe the nose black?
Count in for the Campaign here:

And Vote in the Poll below to help making this fluffy Camaign reallity!
