Hey Everyone!
There's A LOT of new followers this week- welcome and THANK YOU! for following along. I can't believe we're already at 100+ followers and growing!
Each follow really helps grow this idea into the real thing.

There's a new poll this week for you to choose which class I design next! Scroll to the bottom to vote.

This week I'm revealing the next pin and have some updates below!

But without further delay-

This design got a little wild on the illustrative side- so here's a clean cut of the actual crest pin! Not just for you- but for the sculptor! Those metal effects are a bit hard to get just right while still making a shape like this clear.

This one fought me! It started as an entangled jewel, representing power under control, before evolving into a hand grasping or a demon biting into the enamel elements. I experimented with chains and other details, but by the end of day one, I'd settled on a hand in offering.

Coming back on day two, I knew it wasn't quite right. Back to the drawing board! I decided to take a less illustrative approach, much like the Druid, and design something a Warlock might actually wear.

I explored ram's horns, demonic shapes, thorns, and other patron-inspired elements, but everything felt too literal. Eventually, I duplicated and mirrored an abstract design around my original circle concept, and BAM! There it was.

It felt elegant and refined while still capturing the spirit of the Warlock. From there, I sculpted the shapes into symbolic teeth, horns, and thorns to give it the dimensional quality of the rest of the collection.

 

I hope you like it! - Here's some process shots- you can see the first inklings of this design at bottom left:

It's been extremely busy over here- but in a good way! I won't bore you with all of it. Here's the sparknotes:

You'll see we have an excellent new banner I designed (inspired in part by my friend Jeszika Le Vye's bookcharm cover image for her previous campaign).

I got my start ing graphic design- so between using the preview images the manufacturer has been kindly sending me and some shading / textures / typography this was like stepping back in time!

Lastly, a brief look at the rogue pin from the manufacturer. This one is sitting a little flat for me, but it's great to see it come alive. I'll be hammering out the details with them closer to launch. They've been great so far!

Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom!
We still have a long way to go, but I'm extremely excited for this! Have a great week.
