Northern Mockingbird and Bonus plush + Ideas
Northern Mockingbird Fox design! I changed the eye color from brown to a metallic gold? I looked at more photos of the actual bird and realized they can have yellow or yellow green eyes. I thought gold was a nice fit!
He's simple, but lovely! Also, I left my art tablet at a friends last week and won't be able to get it back until June 14th *sadface*
I have SO many ideas I want to draw. I ALSO wanted to share this little guy I had Tina's company make for fun and to see how a small fox design would work. I don't love his face (I want eyes higher up and ears bigger), but the body is great! The wings are a bit stiff at this size so I'm going to see if they can remove the foam and have them be floppier and snugglier. I do NOT plan on this specific design (small blue jay) being available for this campaign. He had the most issues with quality on the larger size so I want to avoid him again if possible. I DO currently plan on having MAYBE 2 small designs in this campaign (unlockable goals if we get enough funding). Pricing on them would be $35-40 (waiting on more accurate costs to ship them to me). The standard size plush will be going up to $60. I had way more costs than I anticipated my last campaign and realized I'm not charging enough for the amount of time and work that I have to do. I also might use a fulfillment partner for this campaign if I get 500+ backers again. I cannot do it by myself again :(
I have decided one of the small designs will be the White honduras bat fox (thank you to whoever suggested it!) And then another one I am going to try to do is a small fennec fox with butterfly or moth wings. Please feel free to make suggestions below! I want to stick with a classic sandy colored fennec fox if possible, but not opposed to other colors. Suwalesi moon moth (yellow one on google) is my top choice so far. And I know someone suggested another moth on my last post that I really liked!
Confirmed designs so far include Luna moth fox Fawn Fox Bat Fox Kestrel Fox Northern Mockingbird Fox Rosy Maple Moth Fox Small White Honduras bat fox Small Fennec Fox (butterfly or moth, undecided still)
Possible designs or designs that I need to draw Goldfinch Red tailed hawk Red winged blackbird Peacock fox Pigeon Fox Others?? Please suggest! All the designs in this list will be in a poll. This campaign has a max of 12 designs, but I don't expect all to get funded :)
And some new pictures of Luna moth and Fawn Fox! The spots on Fawn Fox have to stay embroidered, I'm so sorry. Tina's company can not do faux fur spots that small. These 2 designs are complete and finalized. Fawn Fox is a little darker than I expected. I may choose to lighten it, but only if Red tailed hawk is high up in the polls! Kestrel Fox is being remade with the little black embroidered marking removed on his muzzle and all back ears now.
I THINK that's everything. Sorry for the jumbled post. I'm excited and wish I had my art tablet so I could draw, lol
*UPDATE Tina says the spots are too small to be fabric on Fawn Fox so they will have to stay embroidered. I'm so sorry! I wish they could do it with faux fur. Kestrel is being remade now with the little embroidered side muzzle markings removed and all black ears <3
EDIT, SORRY I forgot to change the setting to allow comments! It's fixed now
I've been super busy fulfilling my last plush campaign so I've had to take a break from these new designs for a bit! But I have time this week so I am going to ask Tina for edits to Kestrel and Fawn Fox.
For Fawn Fox I am asking if it's possible to make the spots on her back out of the same fabric as her brown body. I will update this post with her response!
For kestrel I am sending these edits in Moving the eyes and black markings up to match (left side is edited how I want) The side of the face as well
I'm debating removing this little side marking from his face. I'm just so worried about all the different ways it could be messed up during mass production. But I also love how it looks if they can get it right. The muzzle stripe is fabric, but the little side marking under the stripe is embroidered. Thoughts on this? Would you be okay keeping it even if the one you receive might be crooked or off a little?
And I want to change the ears a little. I like the black tip idea, but again, the more little details the more likely there are to be mess ups in mass production. If I keep the black tipped ears idea I want them angled more, not straight across like they are currently. See photos below, the left is edited how I want OR I can just have the whole ear be black. Thoughts?
Also here's a pic showing the underside of the wings better! They are crazy detailed! Since there is so much embroidery it's a bit rougher feeling than my other foxes, I hope that's alright. They are really spectacular in person. Also, my husband took all these pics for me since I'm out of town right now. Tell him thank you! I'm picky so he had to take lots of pictures to get him angled correctly for me, lol
And I got updated pics of Bat Fox today! The mouth is still wrong and the wing colors aren't quite right, BUT the wing shape is much better and I'm very happy overall. Here are the final edits (hopefully) that I've sent to Tina
I think that's everything. Please share your feedback, I thrive on it and I also LOVE having the community be a part of the creation process. I do read everyone's comments and respond to as many as I can. I appreciate it so much. It helps me think. I WILL be working on new designs and bringing some old ones back for some votes probably in early June. I want to have at least 12 designs planned for this campaign and the order figured out before it starts. I highly doubt all will be funded, but I want to be super prepared and have at least 8 samples finished and finalized before I launch ❤️
Photos of Fawn Fox have arrived from the manufacturer!
I love the antlers! And all the different brown colors on the wings. I think the spots look adorable! But they are embroidered and sensory wise I don't love that, but design wise it makes him more interesting. What do you guys think?
Also, Bat Fox is getting embroidered fangs! Here's a silly photo, they are too far apart and the mouth shape is wrong right now, lol And here is a sloppy edit on my phone to show how I want it
And It's time for me to purchase another prototype! But now I'm worried that the colors of Fawn Fox and Red tailed hawk might be too similar... He was popular in the polls my last campaign, but I think Fawn Fox might gather more interest leaving him low on peoples want list... I for sure will be getting a Northern Mockingbird sample while I decide wether or not to continue with him.
I may also do a few more prototypes early just in case my campaign goes further! I'm thinking 2 more probably for a total of 8. I'll make a post with design ideas and options, probably some polls for people to vote on in the next few weeks! I did make this design recently that I'm partial too. It's a Rosy Maple Moth 🩷
His face looks a little grumpy. Not sure if his eyes are too low, it could be the photo angle! I'll take better pictures of him in person. His wings are amaaaaazing <3
I wanted to wait til I got him in person to share, but I'm too excited! They should be finishing Luna moth next.
Let me know what you guys think! I'll be posting a video on Instagram of him. I'll share a link here in a bit :)
I'm hoping to launch this plush campaign mid to late July! I want to have my first series shipped out to backers before starting this one. Follow along to watch the designs I have planned come to life! I'm going to try and have 5-6 prototypes finished before my campaign starts. I'll share their progress here :)
