Project Update: ‼️Stretchgoal Sneakpeaks‼️

Hello Backerkit!

We are happy to show off the brand new "Mini-maw Stickersheet" featuring all of the Halimaw from this campaign including the newest winner from the poll prior; the Lampong! This stickersheet takes all of these legends and reimagines them in a chibi design :3

The Mini-Maw Stickersheet


In addition we'd also like to show off our work for the other stretch goals to be unlocked. Down below you'll find the three sketches we made from the Filipino Folklore storyline; Visitor, Birdsong, and Guidance


The Storyline Print Series

Visitor: Visitor depicts Imelda's meeting with the medium at the beginning of the story. They sit beside a brazier of burning herbs that spews rolling smoke throughout the room. The Daligmata can be seen through the haze with it's many eyes shining bright as they survey the area. This will be a horizontal 5x7" print.

Birdsong: Birdsong displays the Idarna Bird perched at the tip of a rocky cliff face above a torrential sea. It's song and the current of the water rival each other as they twist to and fro. This will be a vertical 5x7" print.


Guidance:
Guidance shows the visage of a wild landscape twisted by the will of the Tikbalang, but coursing through it is the strand of golden guidance from the Anggitay. Imelda walks her path beside the strand, making sense of the chaos. This will be a horizontal 5x7" print.

The Winning Halimaw: Lampong

These three sketches are the very beginnings of our work towards this campaign's final stretchgoal and pin. We feel that all designs depict the Lampong and it's impervious, almost untouchable, nature very well!

As a reminder; The Lampong is a mythical individual from Ilongot folklore standing at about two feet tall with bright yellow eyes and a two-pointed cap. He is often called the Deer Herder or Deer Guardian. As the story goes the lands were once rich with beautiful forests and animals, but when the hunters came with their big guns they began to defile the natural beauty of the land. So the Lampong, displeased by this, used magic to transform into something the hunters could not ignore.
The next time they brought their guns out to hunt they were immediately taken aback by a stunning white deer - this deer scared away all of the other deer and distracted the hunters from all other targets but itself. When the hunters shot at it the bullets were warded away having little effect and even falling off the hide of the beast.
Our pin design will be inspired from the Lampong’s deer form; described as majestic with only one eye and a set of magnificent golden antlers.

Please show us your favorite design by voting in the attached poll, the winning design will be the sketch we move forward with to make the pin ;>

That's all for now!
Stay adventurous
