Hello everyone!

Thank you once again for your patience with this campaign!

The pins are currently all in mass production, and when my manufacturer returns from China's May Day holiday break, they will be finished and packed up to ship to me! Yippee!!

Here are some photos of the pins! Please note, both Amy and Shaidoth have not had their printing/shading applied (hence why amy has no eyes and her tights are unripped, LOL)! I wanted to show them off regardless to give you guys something to look forward to, and to offer a little peak behind the curtain of pin production!

The pins are all estimated to be shipping out mid-may, so I'm hoping to start fulfilling orders around the end of this month. I'll be locking in to get these out to y'all asap!

One final thing I want to address, and it's important -- I don't think I'll be doing more "sexy" styled art in the future, unfortunately.

This campaign sort of... alienated my core audience, who I've learned want cutesy stuff, and aren't that interested in the more sexy, pin-up style I went for with the Menagerie. There's nothing wrong with that, but it definitely hurt my ability to run this campaign as successfully as my others have in the past. As a full time artist, I have to consider what works and what doesn't for my business -- and this did not.

I may return to the sultry world with fanart, but when it comes to originals, I don't currently have an audience who's interested in that. It's part of me, I'm a smut reading, monster fucking perv behind the veil of cutesy pink bubbles, but it's not core to my business, and I'm honestly okay with that!

Maybe one day I'll actually write the novels a lot of my girlies that were showcased here are meant to be a part of, and maybe they'll be someone's favorite characters (outside of me and my husband's lol). But, for now, I don't see another campaign similar to this on the horizon, which does mean the girlies who didn't get made into pins won't be getting pins.

C'est la vie, though! I'm so grateful to those of you who decided to support this project, and I'm so excited for them to reach their new homes. Thank you for giving my girls a chance!

I do have several campaigns coming up, as well, which I'll highlight at the bottom of this update. Notably, my next campaign is also an original art series! I hope you'll check it out!

Much love,

Katze

PS: The aforementioned upcoming campaigns!

This June, I'm launching Tails of Tokyo | Modern Day Kitsune Enamel Pins! This campaign is an original art campaign featuring Kitsune themed designs focused on various Japanese subcultures, including gyaru, decora, and lolita! This is a part of the Pin Quest Group Collab! Check it out HERE or by clicking the banner below!

Then, in August, I'm launching Hero's Hoard: Timeless Mini Pins -- a Zelda/OOT themed set of mini pins featuring items from the game in my style! This is a part of the Pocket Change Group Collab! Check it out HERE or by clicking the banner below!

For this year's Pintober, I'm launching Elemental Evolutions -- a series of enamel pins focusing on the Eeevelutions with their type symbols! These are 1.75in pins featuring gold plating and glitter, and an expansion on my very popular Sylveon design from a previous campaign, PokePostage. I'm so excited to get to draw all the Eevees! Check it out HERE or click the banner below!

And finally, for next year's Pintopia, I'm doing a sequel to this year's Pintopia campaign, 64 Bit Memories. That campaign was centered around N64 games, and I polled my backers there to see what they would like to see as a sequel. Gameboy + DS won, so Handheld Memories will officially launch in January 2027! Follow HERE to stay updated, or click the banner!
