I don't often have to do much in the way of rounds of revisions with my manufacturer but this time around there'ss been a bit of back-and-forth while I try to get everything just right so I thought I'd give you another quick update on progress. :)
I've now approved the Pegasus pin, with the minor edit to the mane managing to eliminate that little bit of recessed metal between the mane and wings, so here's the final proof:

I'm aaalmost there with the Sleipnir pin! We've eliminated most of the recessed metal sections in the mane and tail, with the exception of the small bit in the tail which I thought we'd have trouble removing completely. I've asked them to change the rubber clutches on the back from white to blue, and I also just now noticed that they had the body colour down as 'white' when it should be 'pearl white' so I'm very glad I caught that one before production! Phew! Here's how Sleipnir will look (but with blue clutches and pearl obvs):

For the Equicervus the edits I requested last time have eliminated the recessed metal sections from the foreleg, goatee and mane but haven't reduced the areas around the antlers, so I've taken one more pass at editing those to try and some of those sections as cut-outs for a cleaner look. Fingers crossed! Here are the edit notes I've made for the manufacturer:
And finally the Centaur! The new face is looking better but I had a few picky notes for the designer to adjust the lines of the chin, eyebrow, nose and lips to better match my drawing. I've also asked for some tiny adjustments to line thickness, the angle of the front right leg, and the ends of the braids. Here's a look at the proof next to what I've sent them for edits:
Hopefully the next proof they send me will be all good and I can approve production very soon!
Let me know if you have any questions about the process or feedback on the proofs so far? :D All the best,
