Project Update: Super excited, thank you!!

Thanks for making my first crowdfund such a success since we met almost all goals!! I think dango will be unlocked via surveys/preorder store too. Here's their final design:


Mostly we swapped the lighting because we realized I had left-side lighting for everything else, since she did the digital art for these ones Elena defaulted to right-side for sketch since that's what she did with most of her pins. We also made the eyes bigger (the eyes will be the only enamel) and swapped recessed hearts with printed stars. There's another version of highlights though that's just glossy, can you vote in the poll below on which you prefer?



They'll have the same backstamp as the moths ("Cryptic Midnight")!

If hanami dango are unlocked as hoped for, their set of 3 is a possible part of random grab bags of 5 and 10 pins. I'm considering doing the gradient gummy candy moth (2nd place in poll) as a freebie for 10+ pin backers since there's a few of you, so they would get both freebie moths and any other freebies they qualify for

Thank you again, this is really exciting and helps me so much in building inventory so I can properly launch a shop too!! I'll send surveys around the end of this month once I'm shown how to use the pledge manager and it's set up. Apparently it's extremely complicated... Pins will be paid at the same time as Elena (Midnight Springs) since they're being made together. Might just figure out how to pay for dango upfront and limit their available pledges so they don't get overclaimed?

Getting ahead of myself but for next pins I'd like to do something related to gems!

Also: There's 13 errored/failed payment backers at over $500 total, please fix when you can! It might not've told you the payment didn't go through, so if you're not sure you might want to check so you don't "lose" your pledge/what you reserved
