I'm a Half Japanese, Half Filipino workaholic artist that loves folklore, fantasy, creatures, and everything inbetween. I like to surround myself with things that challenge me to constantly learn, and share with the world. My past history began with shadowing under Disney Artists in Disney Dreamer's Academy, entering in competitions and shows while earning my bachelor's degree in Visual Effects, and then using what I learned to help advance different industries in the CG space like in Private Defense, working in commercials, Film, and even dabbling in CyberSecurity. If it's something I can study, or work on, I'm probably already head deep.
My chaotic adventure wrought life is more reigned in now that I have an official manager, who also happens to be my partner and best friend- Jacob. Though, I think it's my job to push his buttons to see what I can get away with.

Personal note for this project specifically:
Though I was born in the Philippines I left at a young age, becoming estranged from my culture, language, and family. I vyed for the feelings of my culture, dreamt of the waves, the animals, the starlight between jungle leaves in the night. I recall tales from cousins, odd experiences, and fantastical stories told in the moonlight of beasts and monsters. I haven't been back to see my family since my cousin were executed. I'm happy to be exploring a part of myself I've been missing for a long time time now thanks to wonderful supporters and backers of this project. I hope one day I'll be able to come back home to show my family everything we've created. 

Jacob - The Problem-Solver & "Goose Tamer"
While my partner Tokii handles the artistic side of CritCreations I handle research and numbers. With my knack for numbers and having worked from a young age in my father's small construction business I've discovered I'm well-suited for running our business financially. Though, while I am good with numbers my greatest love is the research. I enjoy both history and storytelling which has made finding and relaying the information for our projects a fantastic task that I am utmost satisfied in doing. - I also keep my favorite artist on a tight leash, lest she burn herself out by working too hard.

We believe in human made designs with depth - not just things that look cool, but pieces that hold meaning, tell a story, or educate. In this we strive that we also procure quality in our work, and something that can be treasured by our supporters whether that be for the artwork, the story behind it, or the combination of the two.

We're proud to announce that we're part of the Pin Forge, PInQuest event for a second year in a row. PinQuest is an event that features creators around the world making enamel pins of folklore, monsters, and adventure, Back several projects and get freebies from each! Freebies will be exclusives that will not be avaialable currently for purchase, so perfect for collecting.

You “Pledge” to receive the pins of your choice! Higher pledge tiers will have exciting extras like a free patch, stickers, or other goodies depending on the level!

Our initial goal is to fund the first pin, minipin, and every add-on. The more raised, the more pins will go into production!

This is an all-or-nothing campaign, so you won’t be charged right until the end of the campaign.

Once the campaign concludes, and if it is fully funded, surveys will be sent out. During these surveys, you will be able to make final add-ons and select your pins and other pledged rewards. 

Surveys are also important because they supply your shipping details. ter the campaign is over, you can select your rewards from the designs that have been unlocked. 

Early bird spots are limited to the first 48 hours. If you un-pledge during the campaign you will not be able to re-pledge for the early bird deal again if it's past 48 hours, even if someone else drops their spot!

Pay-Over-Time
If you opt into pay over time, (eligible for any pledge over $150) you can pay your pledge in increments. NOTE: You will not receive your survey till you complete your payments! We will do our best to order extra to ensure we have enough stock for your pledge. Completing sooner is better!

* After the campaign, pins will be available as blind bags in our sho and individual designs (at a higher price), Pledging during the campaign allows for the opportunity to pick your favourite design, or all the designs without chance at a lower price.

We've had a successful history of fulfilling campaigns- all with fun, informative value and unique twists. 

Special thank to Tokii's half brother half brother Jay Racoma. She's been isolated from herfamily heritage for years, so her only connection that they've been able to graciously meet recently has been a lifeline to worlds that were once unknown to them.
