Project Update: All original goals reached within 48 hours!! 🎉

  • I had to hide the add-on of Ooze.
  • I had to hide the add-on of the single fish spins but the other 2 increments are still available.
  • Party is looking like the next I have to hide, in 6 more claims.
  • Everything is now part of the gacha pool (except the freebies - though leftovers of them may be added to the gacha pool post-campaign, if there are any).
  • As mentioned before, at 4k I will raise the limit for 10 spins' tier and also each pin will have more ordered, plus I may add just 5 more available to each add-on pin (up to 20 for add-on, and remaining at 10 for pledge tier - 30 total). 
  • The glow goal for 4.5k is the only other one I currently have planned. I have something in mind for freebies for everyone who has backed 5+ pins - which is in the poll below! 

Thank you so much,  everyone - I'm blown away!! The current average pledge amount is over $30, which is SO cool. I am so glad everyone loves the moths!

Here is where the 3rd moth girl is at rn, I will name her when she's finished and then list her as available:



She basically just needs finishing up with lighting details. She is a slightly different art style than the other 2 because she was another drawing I abandoned last November then picked back up (like the first girl), while the 2nd was drawn a couple months ago based on the same (final) style as girl 1. For future art I will continue to stick with the subtle differences in Yumi and Mirei compared to this style, they felt more natural for me. I did actually have another girl WIP from scratch in August before I came back to this one, with curly pink hair, but it was killing my hands to draw it lol, like 4hrs in and I was only 1/3 done ... so this is who's next! lol.

Please check out the poll for a 6k goal! If it's looking like the freebies are desired (currently, all freebies are available to single-pin pledges - I would like to give additional bonuses to my higher-pledge backers as a huge thank you!), I will show the draft next update. That will probably be in a week from now as I need to chill out (lol).

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Project Update: More goals reached + added!

Hey everyone!

First, I want to remind that Fantasy Fox Creations and I have this freebie collab deal going on throughout the entire campaign duration! 

Anyone who backs both of our campaigns receives both of these pins for free! 

Holly's

Mine


Next - I added the last goal's moths available to pledge for, because we hit the stretch goal to unlock 12 gacha moths 🎉



They are up as pledge tiers and add-ons! They will officially be part of the gacha pool and unlocked once we hit the final goal of $3,285!

I've also added a few new add-ons: 

Adult Content Warning Pill Pin

Red Nebula Pill Pin

Rubber keychain of my shop mascot, Veek - perfect for spooky season!

You attach these to your pins instead of a clutch to convert it to a magnet! (Not permanent, removable!)


I was going to add the extra "eye" pills but that stock has partially disappeared during our move. I'll list it later if I can find the ones I had remaining (besides the ones still set aside for Pintopia backers)! 

My manufacturer has finally mailed me the stock of the magnets from the last campaign, so they should be here next week - and I will have a lot extra! I can of course order more if we hit the last goal, which I now feel for certain we will!
 
As for "moth girl 3" I actually haven't had a chance to get back on my tablet in a few days so I haven't finished her yet. 😱 I didn't expect to get here so fast. I'll make a mini update when she is added in all forms (and has an official name)! Sometime today I will also update the moth gacha thumbnail image because I realized I made a silly error on it, and need to include the other pins.

I added 2 more main goals... 


$4000 - quite a few more pins made of each design! Each base goal was to hit minimum required quantity, but beyond that I can add whatever increment I want. However far we get past the final goal is proportionate to how many more I can order to keep up. I'm not yet sure if/when I can reopen Ouija for individual pledges. I will raise pledge limit for 10 spins, also, because there will technically be 2 machines to choose from (in surveys sent post-campaign).

$4500 - I will also make Sugar Skull and Angel's printing glow in the dark! (aside from the black). That will put us at 4 gacha pool designs with glow print, and the Abduction collab moth has glow enamel!

Other comments:
• Strawberry Cow's pledge level (but not add-on) mistakenly said it has glitter; it does not, I fixed that.
• Since all are available to pledge for now, I have sorted the add-on moths by...theme, I guess? Rather than unlock number.
• The blurb for the pledge level for 10 spins said only 5 in it by mistake! I fixed that.
• Party and Ooze are sold out as pledge tiers but still have add-ons available for now!

Thank you so much again!! This has far surpassed the number of backers I had for my Pintopia campaign already, and I estimate we can surpass the last pin unlock goal between 120-130 total backers if we maintain the same pledge amount average. 

This is so exciting!

Project Update: Almost funded in 3 hours!?

Wow, thank you SO much, everyone!!

I really need to take a nap (lol) so I added the 1st stretch goal's pins as add-ons and pledge levels (individual choice options, and now unlocked as possibilities in the gacha spins) because at this rate, I feel like we might hit it by end of day and have a "full machine" already! I am stunned.

Just sitting here so shocked and grateful.

These are the pins in the first stretch goal that I added as limited individual picks:


Thank you again!!!

Project Update: Acrylic Keychain Samples ARRIVED!!

Better late than never, right? I'm sorry to be updating again so soon, but I activated the add-on listings so they are now available to get at $25/each!




All acrylic keychains come with a clear protective film on the front, and an opaque white one on the back. If you opt to keep the one on the back on your charm, the bottom right of both images is what they'd look like!

They are also available at $20 with no lantern, and a choice of clasp OR ball chain:



They are 65mm wide (approx 2.5in) and I apply the holographic transfer films myself, so each inevitably will have ever so slightly different alignment.

I also want to mention - we hit the first stretch goal!! Thank you so much... I am so so grateful. 🥰 The next 4 moths are available as pledge tiers and add-ons, but not considered to be in the gacha pool until we reach $2,685:



The 3rd moth girl is maybe an hour away from being done (these two above took 10 hours each ;; ), and then she (and her companion moth) will unlock as stickers with the 2nd stretch goal (12 total unlocked), and herself as keychains with the final stretch goal (16 total unlocked).

Last thing - I have to lock Ouija's add-on soon! I need the odds to be very similar for both backers, and later in-person or online gacha pulls, so I can't have that overpledged. If we pass all stretch goals then I can get more of each pin produced, and I can relist that add-on. Thank you for loving that design so much!
