I wanted to personally thank everyone for allowing me time for my grief.
Expect Surveys Next Week! There will be a 2 Week window to complete them!
What's in this Update:
🌟 New Pins 🌟 🚩 New Banners 🚩 💖 Update on Freebie Pin 💖 ⭐ Mini Pins ⭐ ‼️ Cancellation of Sticker Books ‼️ 🕰️ Timeline Update 🕰️
🌟 New Pins 🌟
I'm so excited to finally reveal the Owl and the Dolphin! Both of these designs will be fully available as stickers, charms and more, like all the other pins.
🚩 Banners! 🚩
Yes! Finally, two new banners will be able to be selected, alongside the origional one. Please enjoy the Dawn banner and the Dusk Banner! These will be available both for order and for selection for those who purchased during the campaign.
💖 Update on Freebie Pin 💖
Next up is the Freebie Pin! In all honesty, I wasn't happy with it for a while. I tried a new style with my dragons, but it just didn't feel like mine. It felt off, and ultimately I decided to change it. If you don't like the new one, you'll have the ability to pick a mini pin instead! :)
⭐Mini Pins ⭐
As promised, here are the 5 mini-pins for the set! They're available for $5 each or the whole set for $20. The Sun and Moon will be nickel-plated, with all the others being gold-plated. Details will be screen printed.
‼️ Cancellation of Sticker Books ‼️
I was trying something new, as I wanted to make foil-sticker books to reflect the golden pins. However, things did not work out with the manufacturer discussions, and rather than try to find an alternative that may have lesser quality, I've decided to just not produce them. They weren't an item originally for sale, so no refunds are needed.
🕰️ Timeline Update 🕰️ Given the delay in surveys, I've pushed the timeline back by 1 month. So, at the moment, I should be shipping in September, not August. But as always, if I get them sooner and can ship soone,r I will!
With the end of Pintopia, a lot has been going on behind the scenes. I'm still working to keep my promise of extra designs and works, and I'm pretty excited about what I've been up to. However, my Grandfather has officially passed, and it is taking a large toll on both my family and me. Art is an extension of passion, love, dedication to the craft, and for me, a window into my own happiness. So I will finish out this week, taking the time I need for myself before I get back into the full swing of finalized works.
Things to look forward to!
Main Designs: 2 extra celestial beasts! At the moment, I am working on the owl (It was once a constellation but was assimilated into another constellation in modern times by), and I'm thinking of a more aquatic creature like the swordfish or the dolphin. To those who may not have seen, the crane was already added during the campaign!
Pin Banner: I have two more designs coming for those.
Mini Pins: There will be 5 mini pins to choose from! Some with alternate colors!
Sticker Books: Sticker books will be available with 2 different designs. I will also make it so if you would prefer a sticker book over a journal, you can select it during the survey.
That is all, thanks so much! I wanted to make this update sooner, but I understand Pintopia is a time where people get flooded with updates, and since this one was important, I wanted to ensure it made it to everyone! :)
I am so honored to have you all here, supporting my dreams! And with everything I had planned blown completely above and beyond the galaxy of what I thought was possible, I now open the path to you.
What should come next? Help me out in the poll below!
It is with great pleasure to reveal some of the beasts to be unlocked in Pintopia 2026! Please welcome the whale, unicorn, wolf, bunny, lyn,x and dragon!
Finally, I'm also part of the Spaced Out Banner this year! A Banner dedicated to all the cool things beyond our world but with twists from all corners of the galaxy!
