There are a lot of freebies to be unlocked! What's best: this is an and-and situation. You can definitely unlock more than one freebie. Here are all the available freebies:

Early birds catch the worm! If you back "Gods and Monsters of Chinese Folk Tales" in the first 48 hours of the campaign, I'll add a free sticker set of the Four Divinities to your items <3

If you followed the project before it went live, you will get a mini sticker set of all freebie pins (including the banner and collab pins, if you backed those).

If you back 2+ pins, you can pick one of two 1-inch mini pins: a lotus flower or a ghost fire. Pledging for 8+ pins also unlocks the freebie pin designs to purchase as an add-on in the backer survey.

I am also collaborating with Mini Mustang Madness for a unique pin set featuring more horses! Back both our projects and get this set of two pins for free. A Lotta Unicorns's design is her take on the Qilin, and my design is a tribute to one of my favorite modern stories, A Ballad of Sword and Wine (QJJ).

I'm also a part of Lore & Myth, a Pintopia banner where artists of similar theme gather together. From folklore, mythology, legends and more; check out all other participants. If you back 3 or more Lore & Myth campaigns, you'll get a free exclusive mini pin from each creator you backed!

When "Gods and Monsters" is successfully funded, the first four designs become available to select as a pin. These designs are based on the Four Divinities. The Four Divinities are the four guardians of the cardinal directions. They are:

The Qilin is a mythical creature from Chinese stories, appearing as a pure, deer-like creature with dragon-like features. The Qilin is often associated with the coming of a great ruler, and most famously linked to the Yellow Emperor that way.

The Shishi, or Stone Lions, are protectors of a house. One guardian lion represents the male yang and is shown holding a ball, while the other of the pair represents the female yin and holds a playful cub under her paw.

This is a lapel pin set. Together, they count as one pin. Note that these designs are smaller than other pins.

The Jade Rabbit is a rabbit living on the moon. It is the Moon Goddess's companion and is depicted holding a mortar and pestle as it pounds the elixir of life. The Jade Rabbit is associated with mooncakes and frequently appears on Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake packaging.

From the Chinese folk tale The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, where two people fell in love with each other. But their love was forbidden and they were banished to other sides of the sky, and they were only able to meet once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month, when magpies would form a bridge for the two lovers to meet.

Chang'e is the moon goddess. She lives on the moon with her rabbit, the Jade Rabbit. Chang'e ascended to the moon after her husband, the archer Hou Yi, procured two elixirs of life. One day, home alone, her husband's apprentice broke in and demanded one of the elixirs. Rather than giving him the elixir, Chang'e took both herself. She ascended to the moon, so that she would always still be close to Hou Yi on Earth.

Huli Jing are immortal trickster fox spirits. They can be either benevolent or malevolent, and are known for their shapeshifting abilities. The most famous kind of Huli Jing is the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Nezha is a popular hero from folk legends, whose adventures often put him in the path of immortals—and gave everyone around him a lot of trouble. His weapons include a red ribbon and a fire-tipped spear, and he rides the clouds on his Wind Fire Wheels.

Carps are closely associated with dragons in Chinese stories, and it is said that a carp who is able to climb the Dragon Gate waterfall and leaps over it, becomes a dragon.

The Nian is a mythological beast that would come out from the mountains or sea to raid human villages. It hates loud noises, the color red, and firecrackers. The Nian is a key character in the celebrations around the Chinese New Year.

The Monkey King (or Sun Wukong) is the main character of Journey to the West, one of China's most popular literary works. The story follows his mischievous and legendary adventures. The Monkey King has many supernatural abilities and attributes, a few of which are his flying cloud and a magical staff that can change size and weight, as well as attack opponents.

The Legend of the White Snake is considered one of China's Four Great Folktales. It tells the story of a human who falls in love with a white snake spirit, who was initially full of ill intent but whose nature changed over time. Inevitably, the white snake spirit would eventually be found out.

The Heibai Wuchang, or Black and White Impermanence, are deities who guide the spirits of the dead to the underworld. The Black Impermanence is always dressed in black, and the White Impermanence appears as its polar opposite.

The Four Heavenly Kings are four Buddhist protectors, watching over a cardinal direction of the world. They are often enshrined in Buddhist temples. Chiguo Tian is the Heavenly King of the East. He plays music on his pipa and protects celestial musicians and flesh-eating spirits.

Baigujing, or White Bone Spirit, is a strong villain from the Journey to the West. She seeks to eat the flesh of Tang Sanzang, a central figure in the story. Baigujing's true form is that of a skeleton.

While researching Baigujing, I stumbled across a gorgeous outfit from the Peking Opera. The pin is an ode to that outfit.
