As of writing this, we have cleared $4,300 raised! This milestone unlocks the Asexual Creature pin and two new pronoun options.
New Designs:
Though they were already unlocked yesterday, I hadn't finished the Lesbian and Bisexual pin designs until this morning. The most popular creatures from the poll were turned into these designs:
Lesbian and Bisexual Design Drafts
Colors aren't final yet, but I wanted to show an example of what they will likely look like. The Peryton Lesbian pin will stay a neutral brown color, though I'm thinking it will be a more warm golden brown when finalized. The Bisexual Gryphon was a little harder to decide colors for, since many gryphon illustrations I've seen are brown, white, or golden in color. I will more than likely change the colors shown here, but it will still be a nice gold/ beige color when finished.
Newly Unlocked:
Nonbinary, Pansexual, and Asexual Creature Pins The results of the polls are in: The Nonbinary flag will be represented by the Tatzelwurm of Swiss mythology, and the Pansexual flag will be represented by a three headed dog (Cerbrus) of Greek mythology. Lastly, I decided for the sake of time to pick the Manticore for the Asexual Creature instead of doing another poll for itDesigns in progress!
Here's a sneak peak at the Nonbinary and Asexual designs:

Undecided Flag/ Creature pin The poll to decide which new flags will be included later in the campaign is now open! Pick your flag (or which every flag you think should be added next) and I will add the top two most popular ones to the campaign. Don't see your flag on the list? Feel free to leave a comment either here or on the poll and I can put it in a future poll!
In other news, BackerKit has featured my project on the front page! I've never had a project featured before, and I am absolutely honored to be the featured project right in time for Pride month :)
Please continue to ask questions and suggest new things to add to the project! I read all your lovely messages and your ideas have made this campaign all the better so far! I couldn't do this without each and every one of you :)
Happy Pride Month Eve! There are lots of other LGBTQ+ artists here and on Etsy/ other eCommerce sites, and I would like to encourage all of you to support them this Pride Month, whether that's financially by pledging to their campaigns or buying things from their shops, or you can support them by engaging with them on social media. Like, comment, and share their posts, and lets spread the love in these trying times!
