Field Notes: Virtue Design Details

Virtues have that “gentle course correction” energy. They are compelled to cry, not so much out of sadness, but as a form of understanding, showing the otherworldly empathy they possess as caring guardians.
The teardrop shape is echoed throughout their design, as well. It shows up in their wing patterns, similar to peacock-feather eyes. It's not lost on me that on top of their many real eyes, they embellish themselves with more subtle eyes as well. You might also notice the halo design reflects the same teardrop motif.
And, similar to the Lesser Choirs delivering their Cryptic Omens, the Virtues carry around their own hanging beads, though I've yet to determine their purpose and whether or not we're meant to receive them.

Important Note: this artwork isn’t final (and the bead options aren’t final either, as I’ll need to confirm what’s feasible with my manufacturer). That said, I’ll be staying as close and as true to the current design as humanly possible. 😇

Furiendly reminder: there are only 8 hours left to cast your votes! The top 3 most popular Purrincipality colorways will be made into pins.

And fear not if your pick isn’t in the top 3! The next Purrincipality Cats Set unlocks at $10k, and we’re only about $1,300 away. I have no doubt we can reach it. 😺

Last but not least: I hope everyone is staying safe and warm out there! We’ve done everything we can to prep for the storm and a possible power outage, so… I suppose we’ll see you on the other side. 🫡💖
