Introduction

Greeting, my name is Luna, I'm a Graphic Designer & Crafter enthusiast, I run NRW Artz mostly by myself with a little help with some friends here and there. This is my Fourth attempt at a Large Crowdfunding campaign, and I'm super excited as this is my second one on Backerkit after a few successful Kickstarters in the past for smaller projects. I have so many planned for this design series that I've been working on a lot over the years!

Mega Enamel Pins!

All of these pins are considered Mega sized! Our normal enamel pins are about 45-50mm or 2in average, but these will all be 75mm or 4in! Plus, they will be hard enamel, as they are higher quality than soft enamel. They have a durable smooth, flush surface between the colors raised metal lines. While soft enamel colors are recessed feeling more textured with raised metal ridges but is more prone to scratching.

*Please note final designs may slightly vary in color due to limitations between resin, CMYK and RGB colors shown below.**

As we progress through our campaign, there is a possibly to add more species with these amazing mega pins as extended goals! We are first starting off with a smaller goal for the first design Ninten Beardiewith the lowest quantity we can get our first order in, after we reach the initial goal, we shall add more items and rewards for some tiers! So, stay tuned to hear about any extended goal as we get closer to them, as some might take some of requests from our backers!

Here are all our extended stretch goals in order of unlocking:
*You can track the progress of each under the community tab*


Once we unlock the first 3 designs, you all as a community gets to vote for the next ones unlocked! First extended goal at $1000, and each following every $500. Once we reach $1750, after the first 3 design, we unlock the Exotic Gamers Mouse pads with all finished designs in the series (that's all the artwork that is finished, not just unlocked)! These will be available as basic small sized, Large 3ft, Large 3ft w/ USB Hub and XL for taller needs like card gamers!

PAY OVERTIME IS AVAILABLE!

For this campaign, we will be trying out Backerkit's Pay Overtime feature! If your pledge is over $150, after you select a pledge and go to Checkout, you'll be given the option to pay 4 equal interest-free monthly installments of your pledge total over the course of 4 months.

If you select Pay Overtime, you acknowledge that:

*You understand that your rewards will not qualify for shipment until you have paid in full.
*You understand that any partial payments made are not eligible for a refund.
*You understand that you will not be able to access the pledge manager survey until after you have paid in full. 

Please note, this means that Pay Overtime pledges will not be able to answer the option selection survey until their payment plan is completed and thus may have a more limited range of color options based on the availability of inventory that's bulk ordered, but we will be ordering quite a few extras for the stickers and pins so no worries on those.


REMINDER: SHIPPING WILL BE CHARGED AFTER THE PRODUCTION IS COMPLETED!!! PLEASE NOTE THIS.

More about the Artist & Design Inspiration:

I'm an artist with the love of creating new designs constantly, with a large passion for animal and creature designs. I have been an artist for many years, growing along the way from doing commissions in the early 2000s on DeviantArt to selling my art at local Conventions in the mid 2010s. I even vend a reptile shows now since 2020, just another excuse to bring out my snakes to show everyone that any animal can be loving. 

I'm a very firm believer, that like any animal you can have as a pet, the more you interact with them the more social and friendlier they will be. From just a cat or a dog, to a bird all they way to a reptile or even spider! We have proven this with history from wild wolves to our present day dogs and even with larger animals like lions and tigers. Zoo keepers, rehabilitators and wild animals specialists have learned and trained to be able to read those animal's body language and care for them properly, letting those animals show their emotions just a bit differently from the way you and I do. I believe we shouldn't be afraid of these animals but to embrace just the vast differences these animals share with us. Some might just be misunderstood, and I wish to show that all of these animals can be amazing!
