Hello, Adventurers! Our time on this campaign has rushed by and we're already near the end! Con Adventurers 2 ends *tomorrow* in less than 30 hours. Thank you so much for your support of this project so far! I so appreciate each and every one of you for your love and support for my art and our shared love of conventions. Let's take a look at a few more updates:
All core campaign pins have been unlocked!
We are a little shy of the goal I'd been aiming to reach for all six core pins (plus the mini pins), but we're *so close* to reaching it and I don't want to cause any undue worry over the next few hours to see if their favorite will be unlocked. So, we did some re-evaluating on my end and I'm going ahead and unlocking the last two! All six core pins, plus the mini pins, are unlocked!
All the pins!
What does this mean for some of the new designs I was asking for input on through the surveys? The preference had been for a "COMPETE" pin that I haven't sketched yet, but I don't want to over-pivot on a design that doesn't exist at this time. So, my current plan is to wrap up three new designs: CREATE, COMPETE, and a third charity-focused one (maybe DONATE or CARE) that will be available to unlock during the survey process but would likely not be part of the main campaign.
If we do some jumping in funding over the next few hours and reach at least $3500 I may be able to pre-unlock one (I'd run a quick survey to confirm which, based on final designs), but don't want to bank on it right now, especially without even sketches of most of the designs.
So, stay tuned! I'll try to provide another update as quickly as possible.
Reveal: Badge Ribbon Sticker Sheet (Now Available as an Add-On)
Badge ribbons - little ribbons with fun sayings on them that can be attached to your convention badge - are a fun tradition at some conventions and one that I, personally, adore! The badge ribbon sticker sheet includes ten stickers that look like badge ribbons, roughly 1" x 2" each, all in colors that match this pin series. The sticker sheet will be given automatically to returning backers but is now also available as an add-on for $5!
I want to call out the details on the "adhesive cover" part of each sticker (on a regular badge ribbon, this would be the waxy paper protecting the adhesive until you're ready to attach it to your badge) in particular, which are also on theme for this series. Sometimes it's the tiny details that bring me the most joy 😊 I hope you love these, as well!
Remember to check out Piles of Plush!
My collab partner this Pintopia is Robot Dragon Studios with her Frankencorgi project! If you haven't visited her campaign yet, please do! Backing both of our projects gets you a free pin from each of us, plus her corgi plushies are SO ADORABLE :D
