Thank you so much for backing Distorted Cryptids! I can't wait to get started with the process of making these pins, as well as designing the backing cards and getting all the other goodies in too!
I'm building the surveys now for each pledge tier, and will be sending them off for review very soon - keep an eye out in your inbox for another update once they give me the go ahead and you'll then be able to let me know exactly which pin designs and add-ons you would like.
Failed Payments
Payments for the funding are currently being processed, and as it stands currently, details on my end are showing that there are 17 failed pledges. Please can I ask you all to check your details and make sure your payment has gone through! You can do this by going to your profile menu and clicking "Your Pledges & Surveys". Click on "Distorted Cryptids" and check if you were successfully charged. If the charge failed, you can retry charging your card by re-entering your card information. If you have any questions, please let me know!
That's all for now, and I'll be back in touch with another update once the surveys are ready to go. :)
I’m so excited to show you the brand new design after the Loch Ness Monster won last week’s poll - check it out below! This new design will unlock at £5,000, which we’re not far off! And then at £5,000 the rainbow variant will also be available~ I hope you all like them, and I've updated both the campaign page and available tiers to reflect this. This means that the original "All In" Tiers still cover the first 8 pins, rather than the full set of 10, just as a heads up!
What to do if you want to add the extra pins to your pledge:
If you're an Early Bird backer, and you want to add extra pins, EDIT YOUR PLEDGE, RATHER THAN CANCELLING IT, as this still works out cheapest!
If you're on any other Tier, just use the Add-Ons feature as normal to add as many extra pins you want that way. Just message me if you have any questions about this, or add a comment.
I’ve also added the holographic sticker design of Nessie as an Add-On too! I’ll update the image of it tomorrow, but it is available for £3, like the others!
I hope we can smash through the rest of the unlock goals asap as I love this design. With just over a week to go, we’ve got a great chance of absolutely crushing it - help spread the word if you can!
As mentioned a few days ago, I’d love to design another pin as a new stretch goal and I thought asking my audience would be the coolest way to decide on which cryptid to go for!
I like anything a bit more obscure or weird, so the poll options include some pretty random options, but please cast your vote if you get a spare minute as I’d love to hear your opinion. 🤘
The poll will close on the 31st so it gives me enough time to get the design done before the campaign ends. Again, thank you so much for the support on this project so far, it’s been awesome!
Amazing news - all 8 pin designs have been unlocked! Thanks so much for the great response to my new designs, this has been a wonderful and humbling experience and I can’t wait to get the enamel pins ordered and in your hands once the campaign ends.
But what now?!
I’ve decided that as the campaign has gone so well, I’m going to design an extra pin if we hit a new stretch goal of £5,800! I’ll be posting a poll for you all to decide on which cryptid I should base the pin on, so keep a look out over the next few days.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thanks again for supporting mine ( and Abi’s ) project!
This creature is such a weird one; part dragon, part bird, one eye and tentacles that come out of its beak?! Let's go! I wanted this design to incorporate its slaying so I went for a bunch of arrows piercing its eye~
As with the others, there will be a rainbow version too. Stay tuned for the reveal of the foil mini print design soon~!
