Good morning! It has now been one week since the start of this campaign and, wow, you all have absolutely BLOWN my initial funding goal out of the water! At the time of writing this, we are at $6,500! This is the most I have ever raised in a crowdfunding campaign like this, let alone in under a week!
Right now, I'm working hard on catching up on all the designs that got funded before I would finish them, but once I've done that, I'll begin work on some new goals to reach for! You may have also noticed that I added a new 'goal' (though this has already been funded) to make sticker versions of all the unlocked pride creature pins- though these designs will be slightly different as I can add more detail and shading to stickers that can't be done as easily in enamel. Once I'm caught up on pin designs I'll be able to post the sticker versions! These will count as "small stickers" if you would like to add them to your pledge, or you can add them after the campaign has finished through the survey.
Speaking of new designs- I finished the Aromantic Wolpertinger pin (left) and got (most the way) through designing the Queer Hydra pin (right). This one is still a draft, but I wanted to show off what I had so far :)
Next on the list- the Genderfluid pin! The poll to decide which creature will represent this flag is currently available and attached to this update, so please check it out and vote for your favorite!
As you may have noticed, all of these creatures are aquatic! I thought it would be a fun reference to the 'fluid' part of Genderfluid.
Once this poll has ended (Sunday June 8th) I will post a group image of all the pins that have been unlocked so we can see how they all look together :)
What's Next? Once the designs for the above pins are done, I plan on looking at what to add to the campaign next. At the moment, I am planning on adding at least one new pride pin, and I am considering a mystery bag item (keychain or mini pin), new color option for the pronoun pins, or maybe adding reusable sticker books! I am also open to your ideas! If there is an item you think is missing from this campaign or want to see something new from me, please don't hesitate to leave a comment here, make a discussion post in the community tab, or DM me on Instagram :)
If you like my art and want to see more of it, including past projects, hints at new campaigns, and already-made items in my shop, you can check me out on Instagram, TikTok, Etsy, and Bluesky!
That's all for now! As always please feel free to offer monster and/or flag requests to add to the campaign later. I plan on posting another poll or two to decide what's next, so keep an eye out for the next update and polls!
