To those of you who have noticed the launch day change almost half a dozen times now-- I'm so sorry 😅
July was a mess and kept setting us back, but we are FINALLY locked in and launching on 8/11 @ 10am PST!!! Everything is finished and ready to go, so there's nothing holding us back this time 🎉
As usual before a launch I keep vacillating between excitement and absolute terror, but I really love this little project I put together and I hope you enjoy it too! To thank my returning backers, I even have a special lil' sticker ready to go 🥹
Early birds, you know I have something for you too!! I asked Charmsey to draw something so blindingly cute you couldn't help but go 'awww' and of course she delivered. Everyone who backs in the first 48hrs will receive this 1.5" enamel pin featuring a sleeping kelpie completely free!

The one upside to all these delays is that more samples had time to arrive, and oh boy I'm so glad they did. Would you just look at these tiny cuties?? I've always been a bigger is better kinda guy, but these pocket pals are really growing on me.
The werewolf puppy is also almost finished!! The colors look a bit strange here because I altered them digitally to reflect the changes I asked for, but that's the only thing we're waiting on! At this rate they'll definitely be finished before the end of the campaign-- stay tuned for that deluge of pictures lol
The tatzelwurm and kelpie are taking a bit longer, with the kelpie concept art requiring a pretty intense overhaul to effectively communicate what I want to the designer. I do think the next version will be much, much better though!
Who are you most excited for and/or what creature do you want to see the most? We all know I'm deeply biased towards werewolves, but I can't wait to see the finished kelpie myself. I just know they're gonna be the floppiest lil carnivorous seahorse when they're finished 👀💖
