Alright everyone, so with all the news of raised tarrifs and new polices its with a heavy heart that I feel I must postpone this backerkit until I feel more confident making merch. Its a constant game of cat and mouse that seems to change at the drop of a hat.
I hate to do this so close to our goal and all of you are genuinely so sweet but at this point I cannot in good conscience continue when there's a such a risk the packages will get stuc in a foreign country and not shipped out to you all.
THIS ISN'T THE LAST OF ME OR THIS PROJECT!! Be on the lookout for Hellish wallets v2 launching in 2026!! more characters, sleeker designs and (hopefully) lower prices when things are calmer!
Thanks To Ana we've been able to hit and go beyond our goal of £60!!
We wouldn't have been able to reach this goal without the help of Vincent Zawmek,Em-J Rabbitwolf and Ana so a massive thank you to them!!
We still have one month to go until we can get these into production so keep up the hype and there could even be a possibility of some mlp royal chibi keyrings in the future👀
If you'd like to keep supporting me as an artist I have a ko-fi with an art shop where I sell stickers,kandi,art prints and moreeee!! https://ko-fi.com/smashedskullsart
All of the upcoming freebie rewards for being a backer of the keyring campaign have been made!<3 Check the out below and comment your fave design and the keyring you're most excited about!~
Thank you to everyone who has pledged to the project so far and moved us closer to our goal I'm super excited about the progress we've already made and we've still got a long way to go until July 1st!!<3
(Pledge to the campaign and you'll recieve a chibi sits and chibi headshot sticker of the keyring you've chosen and if you've chosen to pledge to all six keyrings you'll recieve one of each sticker of both designs!)
(These will appear on my Ko-fi shop page next month for non-pledgers as a paid item)

In an effort to be transparent and clear up any remaining confusion, my decision to ultimately cancel and refund this project was not solely over a dispute of artistic rights. MidnightSprings insisted that I send the project funds to her personal accounts instead of her business paypal.
I still stand by my decision to cancel this project - not only for my rights as an artist, but also for the safety and protection of backers who chose to support this project.
With final regards to the dispute of my septum ring design, MidnightSpring stated with no ambiguity or room for discussion that she would be retaining the rights of my design. This design currently has a sample mold that I personally paid for out of pocket, and I still do not give her permission or the rights to use the mold or make reproductions of the design. Regardless on whether or not it would be repeat variants.
Again, while it is disappointing to cancel the project after a successful campaign, this decision is in the best interest of my business and the backers who pledged money for this project to be properly managed and fulfilled.
Refunds have been started and are processing. They will be posting within 5 - 7 busines days. I will double check tomorrow to make sure that things are working correctly on my end.
Hi all! Stickers have arrived which means I can start fulfilling some orders! We’re already a little bit ahead of schedule which is awesome.
I will be charging cards for shipping costs tomorrow (5/21). PLEASE check your email then and make sure your charges went through. Any failed payments that aren’t corrected by the time your address locks means you won’t get your reward!
so many stickersssss
So, what’s next?
Addresses will lock one week before your order ships. You will receive an email notifying you of this 48 hours beforehand. If you know you’re moving soon please make sure your address is up to date!

Lastly, I have something serious to talk about.
I feel it is important to share this with you. I recently developed a neurological disorder that affects my muscles and I am now disabled.
It’s been an incredibly rough couple of months for me. I missed out on my last two months of my senior year of high school. Plus it’s become really difficult for me to draw which is really heartbreaking for me as an artist.
Just know moving forward that shipping may take longer than expected because most days I need assistance with nearly everything. Please be patient with me. Thank you.
Hello fellow silly geese! Thank so much for your patience.
I’m happy to announce that surveys have been sent to everyone who pledged!
So be sure to check your email and fill that out! It’s really important that you do, because it collects vital info like your shipping address, charges shipping costs, and also (in my opinion, the most fun part) you get to choose what keychain you would like!
Surveys close May 8th, so you will have lots of time to fill those out or adjust anything.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Another EPIC announcement:
THE PRE-ORDER STORE is open for anyone who did not pledge! :0
Were you unable to back the campaign? Not to worry! You will be able to pre-order any of the items unlocked during the campaign in the PRE-ORDER STORE! Yippee!
You can check it out here! This store also closes on May 8th.
That’s about it for this update! Thanks for reading. Up next, I have a shipment of the bug candy shaker keychains on its way, and I can’t wait to show you! So, stay tuned for some positively radical photos of those samples!
UPDATE: confirmed defect in some bags where the attachment to D rings just tears randomly, if you have this issue contact me for replacement, I’ll need photos to log as evidence to show manufacturer.
Hey everyone, fulfillment is currently 100% and I’d like to thank everyone for the support of this project. There have been some cases where some bags (seems to be some big sized ones) have defected d ring attachments that weren’t caught on quality check, if you notice this, please let me know and I can send out a replacement. Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.
Also just a reminder from the campaign FAQ about weight, although with stress test, the smaller can hold iPad and the bigger a laptop, but as mentioned, these bags being sleeve in nature are not made for heavy duty they can only hold a certain amount of weight, I wouldn’t recommend going past that for long term use. For example, I would not recommend putting an iPad Pro and a MacBook pro in the bigger bags, might over-stress it, and since it’s crossbody, that weight on the shoulders might not be good for you. But overall, it should hold some things, we caught a defect with the D ring attachments!
Lastly, if you get the exterior dirty, you should be able to lightly hand wash it. The white gatomon ones especially would probably need extra care.
Thank you, if you have any issues or concerns, feel free to contact me via email.
