Hello!
If you've looked at the campaign rewards, story, or banner you'll notice there are NEW variants included in the campaign now! Due to this change nearly doubling the designs available, any pledge to tiers for full sets will have the option to select which variant they would like in their survey. If you want EVERY pin including variants, there is an Alternative Alchemist tier available for just these designs as pledge options or add-ons. 2.0 Collection pledge tiers will also have the option to select their variants, and will still automatically get any unlocked designs added to their pledge, but the name has been changed to avoid any confusion. Originally I had planned on adding these rewards upon further funding, but I think you'll like them!

Check out the variants in the campaign story here!

Thank you again for all your support, I hope you enjoy these variants and their stories!

There will be variants added for ALL the designs in the campaign (some designs will have one variant, others will have more). Those who pledged to The Alchemist's Complete Collection tier will get all these variants by default, but if you pledged for a specific kind of pin you'll have the option to select your preferred variant in the final survey. 

Thank you all again for your support, there's just 6 short days left in this project and I'm so excited to get these designs into production!

Earlier this year, object 2026 AB was discovered with an estimated 90.3 trillion worth of gold and platinum. This object is a perfect representation of the platinum symbol within our solar system, as it's located within our main belt between Mars and Jupiter. Other asteroids like 16 Psyche have their own symbols in the style of classical planets:

The new design for platinum will represent 2026 AB within the main belt. I'm also working on some variants for these designs, as I've been finding infrared and UV images of the planets from NASA. This new design and the variants will be added to the campaign next week! 

Thank you for all your support!

New Alchemical Symbol! 🎉

The poll is linked to this update to choose which symbol (or symbols) will be added next. The next stretch goal unlocks at $4000! That poll will be up once the new design is added to the campaign. 

Thank you for your support!

Hello Everyone, thank you for your support of this Cosmic Alchemy 2.0 Campaign! The first goal is nearly met, at which point new rewards will begin to unlock. I've attached a backers only poll to this update. The first stretch goal will unlock at $3000, then a new poll will be created and this will continue until the end of the campaign. This first poll is a little vague, to allow specific selections in the next one. If you have an idea of what you'd like to see, I always love to add them to the polls as a potential option! Please leave a comment on this update with your idea and I will add it if it matches the winning subject.

If you want to get the Early Bird rewards, you just need to make sure to back the campaign before 12pm Pacific Time tomorrow. Returning backers and pre-launch followers also receive rewards! These rewards are added to your pledge automatically once the campaign is over. I've also added a Tip Jar pledge tier for those who just want to follow the campaign or get the digital zine, this is not a physical reward tier so it does not qualify for physical bonus items.

I'll be at a convention this weekend, so I may not be able to post updates immediately following milestones. If you're in Portland and attending Rose City Comic Con, come say hi!

Thank you again for all your support ! I'm looking forward to what we make together for this series,
