It was brought to my attention that the graphics I've been sharing showing off the pins may have been a bit misleading.
The graphics had wording on them that could make it seem like the large pin came with the mini pin as a set. This is incorrect. The full size pins and mini pins will be sold separately.
I will have specific pledge levels available where you can buy them together as a set, but the price will reflect that you're getting 2 separate pins.
I deeply apologize if those graphics misled anyone else. It didn't occur to me that those graphics could be seen that way until someone pointed it out. I hope this doesn't come as too big a disappointment to folks, and I hope you're still excited for the set!
Thanks for understanding, and I'll see you tomorrow!
I am...floored??? Y'all got the campaign to over 10k in less than 2 hours which might actually be a new launch record for me?? That's insane...I'm SO grateful!!
Also, it was brought to my attention that the Pay Over Time feature was not working. I apparently had a massive brain fart and forgot to enable it... But, it's enabled now! I'm so sorry if that caused any confusion!
If you want to switch to using POT for your pledge, I imagine you can do that by clicking "manage your pledge" on the campaign page.
Again, thank you SO FRICKEN MUCH I honestly am just baffled and so happy. ;v;
I have a convention this weekend that I still have a lot of prep to do for, but I'll be around and thinking about more potential stretch goals during that time as well. I know one more stretch goal I want to do already, that I'll work on announcing within the next day or two :))
Thank you SO MUCH!!! And I'll talk to you again soon!
Hey there campaign followers and backers, I’m so happy to share that forty pins (plus reprints of the original Cowboy and Film Noir monster pins) have been funded. A big thank you to all of you who have shared and supported the campaign!
The next pins to unlock are the alternate versions and plating for the Dark Watcher pin at $23K I'm planning for the black nickel variants to be exclusive to cross-collab backers, but the rainbow plating variants to be open to any backer. And there will be an option to upgrade to rainbow plating if you prefer it over black nickel. However you can let me know your thoughts in the comments if you have any preference on exclusivity!
We have sixteen days until the campaign ends. You can help unlock the next goal by sharing the campaign or the designs you love the most. I have posts on Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagramthat you are welcome to share. I think we're well on our way to funding all our goals.
Early Bird and Returning Backer Rewards
Don't miss out on rewards! Returning backers will get a Vampire Mordecai sticker; early bird backers, who pledge in the first 48 hours of the campaign, will receive a Selkie Constance sticker.
Community Design
If you missed it on the campaign page, I am planning to add another monster design based on backer input! You'll notice three community posts: theme, monster, and twist.
Theme: you can cast your votes by "liking" the themes commented on the post, or if you have an idea for a new theme you can comment that. The theme with the most likes will be selected.
Monster: I've pitched a few ideas in the comments but just like with Theme, you can comment if you have your own idea and the most-liked monster idea will be selected.
Twist: An optional twist on the design! This can be anything, such as the monster's occupation, an idea for an accessory, etc.
I'll check on these posts in about 48 hours to pick the winning ideas, so be sure to comment and vote before then! Currently the top ideas are "Cyberpunk" "Chimera" who "Wears a Mask."
Preorder Designs
I got some questions about fanart pins and other designs I've shared on social media. Just to clarify, those designs will not be available to pledge for, and instead will be in the post-campaign survey/preorder store. Please see the Survey section of the campaign page for more details.
If you are only interested in those designs, I recommend you follow the campaign to be notified when the preorders are open. You don't have to pledge to the campaign for these designs.
Cross-Collab Campaigns
Don't forget to check out our partnered campaign, Cryptid Crushes. If you pledge to both campaigns you'll receive a pair of cross-collaboration freebie pins. And if you're looking for even more pins, check out the rest of the Oddities & Obscura collection! If you pledge to all the campaigns you'll receive a set of freebie mini pins. I thought I'd share my favorite designs from each campaign below. You can click on the pin graphics or banners to go to each campaign and pledge to help fund these designs!
I'll be back with another update at the end of Week Two. Have a great rest of your evening :))
Just wondering if stickers of the pin designs will be available. I love so many of them but I'm not sure I can afford to get pins of all of them.
In either case I'm extremely excited to get some more of your wonderful art as pins!
WOW. I don’t have words. We rolled right on through every pin in one day, and funded in a matter of minutes.
So we’re funded… what’s next?
Well backers have expressed interest in what pins they’d like to see.
Succubus to match the Incubus. Lucifer as the light bringer. Biblically accurate eel—I don’t know where to begin with this, but I am so intrigued! A many headed beast from the Bible.
Please voice your ideas. What do YOU want? Think sin and celestial.
I’ll generate a poll based off of your input! I love involving the community.
Y'all are incredible! Not even two hours into this campaign and you have already funded and unlocked half of the stretch goals! I'm humbled, thank you!
I am completely blown away by the show of support today! In less than forty five minutes, y'all fully funded this project, and then not three hours later unlocked ALL the initial stretch goals - I couldn't believe my eyes! THANK YOU!
I greatly appreciate your support and would like to make some additional stretch goals guided by your feedback. I've created a poll and would love your opinions on what direction I should take these new pins.
The poll closes Wednesday March 19th at 10 pm MST.
Thank you again, you are all making the magic happen!
