Hey everyone! I finally received pics of Coyote pigeon last night! To say I'm bummed is an understatement. For some reason Tina's company just made their fox pattern bigger for Coyote Pigeon. This is NOT what I wanted at all. I had sent them a Magpie Wolf to draft a pattern from. I'm not sure where the confusion came from unless they thought I just wanted Magpie Wolf to follow that pattern. I am clearing things up with them now to have a better sample made. 

Here are the pics I received 

Here are edits I made to the images they sent. I also sent even more notes and references not pictured here! Wing color and tail tip color are being changed to match better. Ignore the fact that the eyes have no pupils, I forget to draw them all the time, lol

I also sent them a couple reference pics of Coyote pigeon from my old manufacturer.

Again, I love the body shape of the old prototypes, but the face is not good at all. I'm optimistic the next sample from Tina will be better. I'm kind of used to first samples being way off base. For reference here is the process of Magpie wolf being designed with my original manufacturer.

The first iteration. Super ugly, lol

And 2nd iteration. Waaay too chubby in the arms, body too short. And wings printed not embroidered.

And 3rd and final

So it is a process and I wish I could make it go faster. Again, the plush they showed me is not what I want at all and I expect the next one to be closer to my references. I'm very confused how they got it so wrong. Hopefully I've cleared things up with the design more and will hear from Tina tonight.

In other news Feathered Fox Plush bulk production has been paid for and is starting! They have a tentative completion date in April. I'm certain I've ordered more than enough, thank you everyone for filling out the jot form survey I sent! 

I will update again when I have more news. It takes roughly 2 weeks for them to finish a prototype so I hope for good news by then ❤️

And as always, I'm very open to messages, questions, comments, etc. If you need changes made to your order always feel free to reach out at anytime. I can be reached quickly at [email protected] or on my instagram @FeatheredFoxDen

I appreciate everyone's trust and patience! I am stubborn and determined to get these plush perfect.
