We're almost at the finish line, so let's take a moment to look at the newest little bugs we created and unlocked together just within the last week!!! Thank you all for your votes, suggestions, and pledges to make it happen ✨✨✨
Everything on my page has officially been unlocked and I'm so happy you all showed up to support my work! To celebrate such an incredible milestone, anyone who is backing this project will receive an illustrated thank you card in the mail 🎉
We've got 20 hours left before this bug campaign officially ends so if you're still on the fence, consider this:
The glittery, Rare Pocket Bugs can only be purchased here, during this campaign~
Every extra pin is only $12 right now! (Most of them cost extra to make, but we’re keeping pricing simple and affordable for this campaign~)
After this campaign ends, all extra pins will be $15 - 20 each and sold only in mystery bags, so this is your only chance to pick the exact designs you want!
And lastly, every pledge helps me order higher quantities at better rates, which supports my business and team for the year ahead!! Inventory funding is rough, so your support here really makes a hugeee difference 🥰
Before I go, these two products have been the most popular talk on social media so I'm sharing them here so we can appreciate them a little more!! I'm so happy they're unlocked + now available as Add-ons~
Let the countdown begin! Thank you again for being here 🐛💕
Congrats to our sparkling winners, the Centipede Army and Snow Butts!! These two surprisingly won the popular vote on both BackerKit and Instagram by a landslide, so thank you all for making your suggestions! 🥳
A ton of people were really sad/upset that Joltik and Sewaddle didn't get picked, which checks out bc those bugs were consistently at the top of the charts across all platforms too. So I decided I will work hard to get two more pins added to our board with two final stretch goals.
✨ New + final stretch goals unlocked ✨
Be sure to vote in the final poll to choose your favorite Sewaddle design~
This is the absolute maximum I can offer for this campaign and all unpicked designs will turn into stickers since they were still highly requested bugs!
In the meantime, pls pls pls make sure your cards on file are active and ready to be charged on Feb. 12 to avoid any issues with funding this project~ I appreciate you all for being part of this process with me, it makes a huge difference!
Omg I really woke up to a fully unlocked campaign, what!! Thank you so much!!! I updated the page to have all the new add-ons, including the Everyday Bug sets, sticker sheets, and the Caterpillar Carabiner so you can add them to your pledges now or at the end of the campaign. Ahhh I'm so excited to have all these cool products in hand 🎉🎉🎉
I have been working on all your favorites, and here are my best sketches for your most asked-for bugs! The poll closes today at 11:59PM PST, which is right when the Early Bug pledges close, so pls vote and let me know in the comments what your second choices are! 🐛🐛🐛
If you are one of the 10 people that voted already, you may have to vote again lol sorry, I ended up changing #5's design bc it felt like it was missing something!!
Sadly, not all of your suggestions made the cut. I will keep sketching throughout this campaign just so I can keep trying out different ideas for characters but no promises on anything extra though bc all these additions are already so much work 😅 Thank you everyone for sharing all your favorites with me!!
Lastly, this party hat request wasn't even in the top 5, however it was one of my favorite sketches and I just couldn't imagine it without glitter!! So I've added this little guy to the Rare designs. 💕
New stretch goal added:
I wish I could make Spewpa into a pin, but I wouldn't be able to visually tell the same story through cast metal, so I decided to turn the party into a thick vinyl sticker~
Thank you so much for being here, see you in the polls!! 🐛💕
I am so blown away by all the love these bugs are getting!! First off, thank you so much for unlocking all the main pins in this collection (Tiny, Duos, and Rare)! This dramatically impacts my art business and sustains my little team for the next year and I am so grateful I get the opportunity to do this 😭🥳💕
Right now, we are currently gathering data on all the Pocket Bug suggestions in the comments so we can start an official poll. (Please see the Community board to make your suggestions!) The amount of bugs pouring in are incredible so I'm hoping to use today to draw up some sketches and release an official poll tomorrow morning. With that said, I will be closing off all suggestions at 4PM PST today!
Because drawing takes extra time + probably isn't fair to people just waiting to see the Backers' Choice designs before they back, I will be extending all the Early Bug pledges (the most affordable pledges ever tbh) by 12 more hours. So Early Bug pledges will be closing Saturday night, Jan. 24 at 11:59 PM PST.
Good luck to all your favorite bugs and thank you again being here! 🐛🎉
