Not long after I made my last update, we did indeed unlock Else in both enamel pin and selective holographic sticker form!
Circuit Shark, do do dododo
Which means we're now climbing towards one of the last three stretch goals: Void and Light bandana board colorways!!
Bandanas you wear when it's 1985 and you're speeding away from a time cop in your DeLorean or something, and also your hair is huge, beautiful, and windswept. Your glasses are probably gigantic also. You are very cool.
The retro feel of these two is going to look delicious in print and I'm excited to have them produced. With over two weeks left on the campaign, I know we can nab 'em and then some!
Crossing this threshold also prompted me to go ahead and pay for the Python prototype, so I've selected fabrics for them~ 👀🐉💜
A whole lotta minky and 5 mm cuddle for a maximum hugability factor!
So one way or another you'll get to see how this noodle takes shape in three soft dimensions, but if you want to bring a Python of your very own home we'll have to keep pushing over the course of the next couple weeks!!
Please feel free to share the campaign around. <3 Also because --
I'd love to send y'all a great big bear hug <3
I've added a new community goal! If we reach 300 backers, ALL of you who pledged for physical rewards will not only receive my unending gratitude but ALSO a free hug - the one above, in transparent vinyl sticker form, featuring Light units Hash & Heap 💛
We're at 280 incredible backers at the time of writing this, so that feels quite achievable as well!
And one final surprise: I'd like to sneak another small add-on item into the campaign, featuring a few different Short Circuit robots interacting!! This might be keychains, embroidered patches, magnets - maybe something else entirely - and will feature a few different artwork options. Given the goals of Soft Circuit I will for sure include both the above hug and artwork of Byte & Python together, which I will draw next!
But what the third artwork option will be, and what merch form it will take, is up to YOU! The deciding process will take the form of three polls: two for selecting the robots to be included, and a third to pick the item type. Backers can vote below to pick the first robot!
Thanks again for the amazing support so far, and I hope these lil guys bring you a touch of whimsy where you need it. <3
