An expansion of the Short Circuit collection with a frightful twist, featuring new enamel pins inspired by the aesthetics of Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) and other spooky season robot goodness!
Welcome dear bot enjoyers, ghoulish connoisseurs, and assorted other guests to Spooky Circuit, Short Circuit's frightful sequel!
Our first goal unlocked Unit Line: Void's ambassador bot Remnant in rainbow anodized pin, sticker sheet, and selective holographic sticker form, along with funding the production of Decomm the Void cat, iCandy(Pintober exclusive), and Abend(cross collaboration exclusive)!
The default colorway for the new Unit Line: Void glimmers with rainbow anodized plating, a metal treatment that results in some eerily ethereal visual variance!
Anodized plating is limited to soft enamel fills, so the Void Line pins also feature a clear epoxy layer on top to give them a smooth, flat service that imitates the look and feel of hard enamel. Expansions to existing colorways have the same hybrid enamel finish of the original Unit Lines.
Each pin also features two posts for added security, rubber clasps, and an embossed backside. As with Short Circuit 1.0, the pins in each Unit Line are sized to work well as a set.
Once our base goal has been met, more bot boards are awaiting their turn to come online and home to you!
Once we've fully embraced the Void, a much-requested addition to Unit Line: Air will be next to take wing --
Then it's time for a self-indulgent treat! I hope you also enjoy embroidered patches and the warmth of copper~
Past the first taste of autumn, a pair of tricksy little familiars are awaiting their chance to join Unit Line: Earth!
And after that? Time will tell! The veils between worlds wear thin during spooky season, and the line between creature and machine is no exception. Happy Halloween and thank you all for an incredible turn out!!
Welcome to Pintober! — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of artists collectively running enamel pin crowdfunding projects from Oct 21st through Nov 1st.
Freebie Cross-Collaboration Pins —Back 3 or more Pintober campaigns and get a free sweet treat mini-pin from each of the artists you have supported! 🍬🍬🍬
Fans of chocolate peanut butter eyeballs rejoice, if you trick-or-treat your way through supporting Spooky Circuit and two other Pintober artists then you will receive a treat from each, including the delectable iCandy design above in the Unit Line: Void colorway.
Back both Spooky Circuit and The Curiosity Shop to also receive both of the pins below free with your orders. So many goodies to collect!
Shipping will be charged after the campaign ends as part of the Backerkit survey. Please note that the pledge amount during the campaign does not include shipping cost.
The following prices are general estimates based on packages up to 100 grams (a few pins) - packages around 500 grams (lots of pins). Actual shipping costs will be based on the final package weight of your order.
Backers are responsible for any customs fees, tariffs, or taxes that may be charged once your order enters your country. No refunds or replacements will be issued if your package is returned to sender or lost due to unpaid fees.
US Backers: I'm aware that your situation is evolving! I am currently running a shipment test using PostNL's new Delivery Duties Paid option to the States, and I will communicate all pertinent results regarding costs as soon as I have been invoiced. My test subject received their package safely, so shipping to the US is absolutely a go and I will strive to keep costs down for you in whatever manner is feasible.
Custom fees and tariffs will be a % of the physical value of your order total. Every pin, sticker, and patch purchase is bundled with a digital artwork file featuring that design! This is valued at €10 for pin and patch artwork and €6 for sticker artwork, meaning the physical value of these items for shipment purposes will be less that amount.
The following timeline is an estimate based on the process of my previous project. Any deviations from this projection will be communicated via updates in the Community tab and emails sent out to backers!
Hey there! My name is Anya, also known to various fandom and online spaces as "Chinny" and "CZGoldEdition". I'm a full-time freelance illustrator, concept artist, and merch designer raised in Appalachia and living in the Netherlands. Restarting my business across the ocean has been daunting, but backers like you made it possible!
This past February you all showed up in a big way to fund the first incarnation of Short Circuit, which helped enormously to build my business into a more sustainable venture. The final amount raised went above and beyond my initial expectations and so WE ARE BACK to try and produce more little bot board friends!! 🔥 I hope they bring you as much joy as I experience piecing them together. 💜
With continued enthusiasm for these designs and stories, there's no limit to what we can accomplish together. Thank you so much for you interest and support, I'm excited to continue exploring this concept and beyond!
Backerkit is a crowdfunding platform that empowers you to help make ideas into reality! It functions as a sort of pre-order, allowing creators to gather the funds needed to produce items that are in turn sent along to backers of their campaigns.
You won't be charged until the campaign ends. Take advantage of that to claim your early bot rewards! If you need to lower or cancel your pledge later, you can do so any time before pledges are processed to avoid being charged.
Designs will be unlocked as stretch goals are hit, meaning they have been fully funded and will be put into production at the conclusion of the campaign! Pledge with whatever designs you’d like in mind to increase its odds of being unlocked, and then check back before the campaign ends to adjust if a design you wanted was not reached.
Surveys will be sent out after the campaign’s conclusion for you to pick which designs you would like. Once finalized you can continue to edit your order via Backerkit until orders are locked.
Updates on production and fulfillment will be sent to your Backerkit email and posted in the Community tab on the campaign page.
In addition to my phenomenal cross collaboration partner, I encourage you to check out the following projects - remember that if you back three or more Pintober campaigns, you receive a FREE sweet treat pin from each!
