Hello all! 👋

Quick Field Report today~ Scroll to the Backer-Exclusive Content section for the ever-so-important Google Form!

Otherwise, enjoy some production progress alongside a few updated Charm designs I'd love to get your feedback on!

🙈 Tiny BackerKit Oopsie

While working in one of my BackerKit Segments, I accidentally clicked “Close Surveys” for that group. I noticed fairly quickly and reopened them, so access should be restored now!

If you briefly saw a message saying surveys were closed, that was my mistake and it should be fixed! I’ve been granted too much power, really, and I wield it with the grace of a cat given thumbs. 🙃

If you’re still experiencing any trouble, please send me a message and I’ll take a look!

📍 Pin Progress

All of the submitted vector artwork files are currently in the proofing stage!

I’ve approved all of them except the Color Coated Archangel Raccoon, which had a screenprint color mixed up. I imagine that will be fixed and approved shortly, which means this first batch should be moving into the sampling phase soon!

I’m also resampling the Color Coated Angel Opossum one last time with a slightly different finish color and some lighter Pantone choices. The plating is currently finished, so now I’m just waiting to see how the enamel fills compare to the earlier samples. 🐾

I’ve been cleaning up the lines for the Dominion Wolf, too. Not entirely sure why that one called to me first, but apparently it did. 😆 So look forward to the final artwork for that one next!

🧿 Charm Adjustments

Now, onto the Charm adjustments I mentioned last time!

My goal with these was to keep the core “essence” of each Charm, while making the designs feel a little more Critter in nature. It’s like they’re taking on increasingly feral forms, with more intricate wings and expressive eyes. 👁️🪽

The Censer Charm went through the most drastic change, I think. I attempted its redesign about six times before finally leaning into what I’m apparently best at: weird creature vibes. ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

That said, you all get the final say on whether or not we keep any of these changes!

I’m going to leave this informal for now! No polls, no extra form, just leave your comments or upvotes below. Let me know which versions you prefer! I'll only be making one of each.

The good news is, if any of the changed designs are kept and you like them, you’ll be able to request equivalent Charm swaps in the Google Form. Otherwise, as mentioned before, leftovers will be added to my online shop once all campaign orders are fulfilled! 💛

I think that’s everything for now.

Until next time! 🫡
