Project Update: So Close to Our Initial Goal!

 
Hi, everyone! I hope everyone is safe and sound with the recent ice storm in the US and everything else that has been going on in the world.

I apologize for the delay in providing an update. I’ve been dealing with some health issues since the beginning of December that include some vision issues like extreme blurriness and double vision. 

I am behind with the designs for the remaining facial expressions, so I’m going to work on those through this week during the times I can see properly.

We’re currently $39 USD away from the initial goal for the first 3 pins. 

I‘m probably going to rework the stretch goals a little so it’s easier to follow and add in the amounts for the bags now that I have a rough estimate for how much those will be. I hope to finish that within two days.

I also have the finalized prototype for the black cat plush:


The pre-prototype bag images are here as well, but there will be some changes:


- The purple trimming will be removed from the design.
- I plan to have the stomach pocket inside the bag so the front is flat.
- Adding a handle to the top of the back of the cat’s body.
- The hardware on this bag will be silver.
- I also would like to add a middle insert to the bag that can be removed using velcro. Right now, the manufacturer has this piece attached to the back wall of the purse, where I would like to have a big pocket that can fit a Switch 2 in.

Tomorrow, I do plan to post another poll for the remaining expression types, too.

Again, I wish that everyone is doing well, and thank you for backing my campaign!

Project Update: Prototyping and Poll Results

Hi, everyone!

I am happy to share with you images of the first prototype of Black Moody Kitty plush!


I requested to extend the back legs a little to better balance with the front legs. I also had to fix my file for the embroidery pieces since I noticed some parts were off. Now to wait for prototype 2.

For the pin, I redesigned the tail to match that of the Ita bag and the plush to make the collection more cohesive.



In the last post, I published a poll, and I’m calling the results on it. I’m actually going to name two winners: Sleepy and Mischievous.

Which cats these two will be, I do not know at this moment, but I do plan to have these other cat types within the campaign:

  • Lynx Siamese
  • Siamese
  • Tabby
  • Tortie
  • Tuxedo
  • White

Now onto round #2! This time I’m going to give it a week.

Project Update: Welcome to Moody Kitty!

Hi, everyone!

Welcome to the Moody Kitty launch party!

I’m sure you have seen our Happy, Sad [Cry], and Angry kitties already, but that’s not all we’re planning for our campaign.

We’ve been playing with the ideas of other expressions/emotions for the kitties, like: sleepy, mischievous, flustered/embarrassed, confused, pouty, excited, startled/scared, love-struck, star-struck, curious, and determined. The problem is, we don’t know what people would like to see.

We’re trying to narrow it down to 8 expressions total, including happy, sad, and angry. We need 5 more and would like all of you to help us narrow them down in the current poll.
