Hi!

Though this and many other campaigns' funds fell back a little bit the past days, we're still past all our initial stretch goals and on the way to more!

The species of the first backer-voted pins have been locked in and will be... (drumroll)

That's 10 new pins you will be able to order!
I will tell you more about all these incredible species later, as the artwork gets finished.

I not so secretly would love to make more, so I made a new set of stretch goals:

Some of these are very close to being unlocked already! Let's see how far we can get.
The backer-amount goals work a little differently, and unluck when a certain amount of people have pledged, rather than an amount being reached. I hope you like stickers!

For my beloved lemurs, I had the following idea that I'd love to make: Two full body crowned lemurs in front of the leaf of a traveler's palm.

Crowned lemurs belong to the genus Eulemur, 'brown lemurs', a name which doesn't do them justice at all.
(They're also called 'true lemurs', which is much better, but it does make me feel a bit sorry for the dozens of other lemurs.)
These twelve species are often quite colorful, with the males having competely different colors from the females.
They are:

Some of these, like the blue-eyed lemur, look close enough in facial shape and coat length that I could make limited color variants for them. With some others, like the white-fronted lemur, I'd have to cheat a little and use some screen printing around the ears to change the length of the fur, but it should still work. With some imagination I could even make ring-tailed lemurs, which belong to their own genus.

I don't expect to sell a lot of those variants, but you would make a few of my lemur-loving friends, who NEVER get to see merch of their favorite animals, very happy.

Think of the poor lemur-fans! (Or really, think of the lemurs, since all of these species range from vulnerable/endangered to critically endangered 😔)

Thanks as always for reading (and, you can still vote in the polls in my previous post)!

PS: If you wish to vote, do it once for each poll. Don't vote multiple times! I can see this and will weed out duplicate votes.
As much as I root for all of these animals and am happy that you are passionate about your favorite, sadly, if I can't sell these pins, I can't afford to make them. So instead, getting others to back as well would be far more helpful!
