Hey Everyone!
The amount of people following along now is blowing my mind! At this rate, I think this will be a huge project. I'm glad everyone believes in bringing these insignias to life!
Welcome to everyone new and THANK YOU!
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 this new design is very special:

As you can tell, this might be the best design so far. I am very happy with it and I think it can speak for itself!

This one also went through several iterations before becoming what you see! I had a wonderful time exploring the different posibilites- and as always the idea I had in my head at first just didn't land right at first. It started as 3 fangs in a circle and evolved into a dragon in a spiral. Well, you can see how it progressed from there into something unique. Once I had the title in my head "The Tale of the Dragon and the Lotus" it was all over!

This has been another busy week- but I'll start with the most important part.
THE WARRIOR ARRIVED ! ! !

It's sleek, and solid metal, and everything I wanted it to be. I've been taking pictures like a happy parent.
I'm planning an actual, nice, photoshoot to better showcase the crest, but I was too excited and wanted to share them with you right away!
It's amazing to hold something in your hand that started from just an idea and a sketch. I don't think I'll ever get over it.
The backing card is not finalized.
These are just prototypes and a small order. I think I may lean toward shipping and handling them in nicer boxes with foam padding like jewelry to give them the honor they deserve.

Also- for anyone interested in all 12 I've begun designing a display box / case that they can be displayed in. I want it to look and feel like something to be proud of.

OPTIONAL RESERVATION BONUS
This is something I've added to the campaign on Backerkit's suggestion and I'd like to explain it since it's not immediately intuitive.

You can place a $1 reservation and you'll receive a pin-to-chain or charm converter with your pledge once the campaign is live.
This is a simple, elegant accessory that lets your crest be worn as a keychain or bag charm.
This campaign is growing quickly- so I wanted another way to say THANK YOU! for following along! This is only available to followers before the campaign starts. 

I've also been slowly working with the sculptor on the wizard pin:

We've already sourced the jewel that will rest at it's center and it's going to look outstanding!

That's it for this week- but it's a lot! 
T H A N K  Y O U ! again for taking this journey with me! You can probably tell how excited I am about everything happening. 

I'm going to be eternally grateful for everyone- follower, backer, reader, for helping me bring this to life. I don't have the words.
