I can finally share the (first?) stretch goals with you! Fingers crossed that we'll get there!
More hyena pins:
The first three stretch goals are full body pins of the other three hyenas, made to match with the spotted hyena pin. They will be to scale with their real life counterparts, so the aardwolf is a bit smaller than the others! € 2650 will unlock the AARDWOLF € 3000 will unlock the BROWN HYENA € 3350 will unlock the STRIPED HYENA
If all of these are unlocked, they will become available as a discounted set including the spotted hyena, as well as being available as single pins.
Patches:
(final design might slightly vary)
At € 4000 all four hyena portraits will become available as 6.5 x 8 cm (2.5 x 3.2 inch) embroidered patches!
OTHER CRITTERS, TOO!
If we surpass those goals, pins of other critters can be unlocked! YOU will get to decide which animals would be featured through backer community polls.
I made a bunch of scribbles of random critters I thought of first, just to show some ideas. I drew these from memory so I hope people can tell what they're supposed to be, haha!

These single pin stretch goals could be either full-body and/or diamond portraits. Here are a few candidates so far:
Clouded leopard
Thylacine
Maned wolf
Fossa
Binturong
Ringtail
€ 5000 and € 6000 will unlock new backer-voted pins!
More portrait pin sets! So many ideas!!
Of course, it would be fun to make more portrait sets so it could become the start of a whole series. Here are just (*cough*) "some" ideas for diamond portrait pin sets to match the hyenas:
Megabats [Stripe-faced fruit bat, spectacled flying fox, masked flying fox, Mauritian flying fox, etc]
... you get the idea!
All examples in this list are mammals, but I love all other animals too, so birds, reptiles, invertebrae and the others are all welcome!
Backer-voted pin sets will unlock at € 8000 and € 10.000.
However, there will also be two pledge levels where you can skip the polls and have me draw your favorite species no matter what. If people choose to back this tier it'll be nice for everyone, since these pins will become available for everyone to buy, just like any unlocked stretch goals.
What would be the best way to set up the polls for stretch goals? I can definitely set up a poll here once things are narrowed down a bit, but with so many options I'll possibly send a link to a ranked voting type-poll first. (That's a poll where rather than picking one favorite, you can pick multiple and put them in order of preference.) Either way, this won't happen before the campaign is running, so for now you can just comment with suggestions.
Thank you for reading! If you don't yet, please follow the campaign, it helps a lot and you'll get updates sent to your inbox so you don't miss any updates or deadlines.
