Hello and THANK YOU THANK YOU for being here and backing this project!!! I am so excited that we've been able to unlock the first two plushies in this short amount of time!! :3c The pajama buddies are a long time project I've been looking forward to and I'm so excited to see you love them!!
Help us choose our next stretch goal after Leo via the poll below!! :D (more info about this down below!)
First of all, I wanted to introduce myself to anyone who hasn't backed a campaign of mine before, and to let you all get to know me a bit better!
My name is Han! I've been running my brand Hannimations since October of 2020! I am the designer, concept artist, production manager, and just about everything else lol. I have several wonderful friends who help me with packing orders, guest art, and customer service, but for the most part, I am a one-person show! Colorful Critters are my line of original characters - each created as guardians of joy that take the form of plushies to provide comfort to those they protect!
one of my favorite photos of myself, taken at under the umbrella bookstore in SLC. I feel like this accurately represents me and my hoard of creations lol
I've been creating for as long as I remember. I started out posting fanart for my favorite cartoons, and after posting online for a while, was encouraged by my followers to make some of my artwork into stickers, which lead to the start of my online shop Hannimations in fall of 2020!
In 2021 I created my first two fan plush designs. They were very well received, and creating a toy others could enjoy was deeply fulfilling to me! I launched my first Kickstarter campaign for a line of puppy plushies in 2022, my first series of plush based on original characters I had created. The support for the colorful puppies helped me create my own brand based on my own original characters! I have produced over 50 different plush designs, shipped out over 20,000 orders, and have ran 5 crowdfunding campaigns! Thank you so very much for helping me fulfill my dreams!
About choosing our next goal: there are TWO types of plushies on the poll - the sleepy snuggles 14" plushies, which are the same size and materials as the pictured samples for Leo, Ollie, and Lumi - and the jumbo mochi 24" plushies, which will be much larger and made of mochi fabric and stuffing!! If a mochi plush is chosen and unlocked, I will add new tiers and add-ons! As we unlock other characters sleepy snuggles plush, they'll then be eligible to be in future backer's choice polls as jumbo mochi plush, if that makes sense! If you have any questions, just let me know!!
I'm hoping to have a few designs ready to choose from for our community buddy jackalope tomorrow, so keep an eye out!! :D
