The big day is almost here,TOMRROW we launch Filipino Folklore and we have great news to share! FREEBIES!
Bonus Backer Freebies: Every backer will receive a digital print of the original sketches from this campaign. (Also let us know if you actually like these, we decided to feature them as physical prints in higher pledge levels but would love to know feeback on them)
Returning Backer Sticker Freebie: 3" Gold Foiled Bakunawa Variant Sticker from Blades, Beasts, and Blooms
Regarding the returning backer:
The official winner for the Returning Backer Poll was the holographic Bakunawa, but every comment from more vocal returning backers in the community mentioned the call back and gold foil from BBB.
So to sate this division I decided we we'll feature both designs in the campaign, the exclusive being the gold foil callback since we won't have much opportunity to feature that- while the holographic one being available as a sticker option in the survey. Overreaching polls isn't my favourite thing to do, but I thought this might be the most happy medium.
Additionally, those of you interested in a *new* bakunawa pin in style of this campaign.....We decided to remake the general design style of the holographic sticker into our half of the interlocking partner pin with Abysmal Kaiju's Dragon's and Beasts. Back both projects and get BOTH pins for free :)
Partner Project Pin Freebies: Back both CritCreations Filipino Folklore, and Abysmal Kaiju's Dragons and Beasts 2 to receive special pins from both projects for FREE. Interlocking and intertwiningBakunawa and Minokawa pins
PinQuest 2 Minipin Freebies: Back 3+ projects withing the PinQuest 2 event and get freebies for EACH of the projects you back. From our campaign you will receive a 1 inch gold pin of the "Tome of Ancestors"

Pin Design Updates:
We do our best to work with our manufacturer ahead of time to see if our designs are able to be created at their size and complexity before backers see them. For our stained glass pins we had to make a few adjustments to make them work a bit better- but for added fun we'll be experimenting with a new kind of effect, gradient stained glass. To keep the detail and whimsy of the campaign theme I decided to put some fun UV printing swirls and designs on top of the stained glass. Let me know what you think! Smudge
Old Smudge: Blue was too small for stained glass effect
New Smudge: Gradient stained glass effect with UV print smoke lines ontop
The one with the most changes is the Agbarbarangay (ghost boat pin)
Old Agbarbarangay: Purple Strained glass too small, swirling lines too stable, too thin
New Agbarbarangay: Gradient stained glass with white cloud swirlds. Turned the ghost white to make it stand out more as a focal point, added dark transparent enamel over boat insides for contrast.
Ibong Adarna
Old Ibong Adarna: Manu requested lines to be removed from the entire music area, so I just redesigned the flow and notes
New Ibong Adarna: First 7 notes are now from the vocal anthem of the Philippines (celebrating freedom from Spain), instead of the piano accompaniment. Notes, and varioius layering lines on the song baground are all UV printed.
How it'll look on a darker background- since the white of the project updates might drown out the white.
Apologies again for design change up, hopefully it's not too drastic. Personally, I really like the new designs....with the flexibility of UV print I could add more whimsy and movement into everything, feel free to comment your thoughts.
