We are only two weeks away from the Dark Carnival's grand opening! With it so soon around the corner we'd like to reveal the final collection add-ons in store for Midnight Festival 2...

So on our last update we asked for your suggestions or thoughts for this campaign's competition, we've got two ideas that we're debating on, but we're going to let you decide!

Option 1 - Domestic Yokai
In similar style as what we did for our Infernal Invasion campaign, this idea would involve backers submitting photos of their pets for the community to vote for a winner which will be used as a reference for colorways to be unlocked as a stretchgoal. We would be looking for a pet dog for the pipefox, a pet cat for the Maneki Neko, and a pet fish for the Ningyo. The winning pet's owners would receive a freebie of the pin their pet inspired added to their order, or in the scenario that the pin isn't unlocked, a suitable replacement.

Option 2 - Artistic Spirit
As suggested by commenter Emily, this option would include a drawing competition - making you the artist this time around! Everyone will be given the blank outline for each of the yokai to choose from, and will have the opportunity to send us their take on one yokai of their choosing. Tokii and I will gather our favorites and put them up for you all to decide the winners via a poll. The top 3 will be the competition winners, and the artists for each will receive a freebie of the pin that they created added to their order, or in the scenario that the pin isn't unlocked, a suitable replacement.

We apologize ahead of time if we have been / will be less available to update and communicate. we've been preparing for a trip to Sakura-Con where we'll be setting up a booth in Artist Alley! We're very new to this so it's been a quite chaotic getting everything packed up, but we're finally ready. We fly out tomorrow morning and should be back to work by April 7th. If any of you are planning a trip to Seattle we hope to see you there! :3
