The tuna and salmon are officially going to be options for anyone receiving a plush keychain! Tinned Chow is also going to be available as a full size bag! I'm super happy, those keychains were such early choices because they were my favorites, and Tinned Chow will be a great shape to have available as a daily use bag.

Up next are the Sardine and Fish Skeleton plush keychains! The fish skeleton is the matching keychain for Alley Chow and the Sardine is the matching keychain for Tinned Chow, so if we hit that goal that'll mean all the bags from this campaign will have matching counterparts. The next full size bag is Sable Chow!

Anyway! I bet most of you are here because you want to see some concepts! You know that community choice vote? I've been doing some drawing to lock some stuff in! None of this is finalized yet though, since I would really prefer to get community input.

Also something based on a suggestion! Someone said they would like the fish bone keychain as a bag. I don't think this is exactly what they meant, but I thought one where the skull is the bag and the spine is a printed strap would be neat. After getting it on paper I can say it is a neat concept but I'm not sold on it enough to add it to the vote right now. I don't like that I can't add more fins and ribs to it. An entire skeleton as a cross body bag might be better, but I haven't had the chance to draw it. What do you think?

For those of you who are unfamiliar with how my drawings usually go and who are nervous about how messy these are, a heads up: I have tremors, especially in my dominant hand. It means my sketches start off really, really rough. I have to draw something 3+ times to get it anywhere that feels like it could be finalized. On really bad days I might have to do it 7+ times. "Trust the process" applies heavily to my work. Try not to worry too much! Here's how Bear Chow ended up what it is, and these are not all the sketches it took to get there:
