Project Update: 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
