I want to start off by apologizing for the delay in releasing the final Dominion design! π
Honestly, I'd not considered the possibility that Choir Critters would make it this far, and especially so quickly! And for that, I am exceedingly grateful. Supporting me means I can keep doing what I love with the hopes of earning a stable income in the future. It means all hope isn't lost for us small creators whose lives have been pretty heavily affected by π °οΈποΈ in the last year. I can't overstate the role each and every one of you is playing in this incredible success! β€οΈβπ₯
And while I have rough sketches and concepts for the higher-tier Choir Critters, I want to tighten up their designs so that what you see is as close to the final product as possible! I'm working hard to finalize them so that I'm not forever sprinting behind my own campaign. π« I'm still wrapping my mind around the idea that it's feasible we might unlock all of the designs. This wouldn't be possible without you guys, seriously! π
Weβre just shy of $1,000 away from unlocking the Dominion Wolf Deluxe Pin! πΊπ
Whenever the Dominion Wolf is poised to howl, it's like a signal flare that their work is about to begin. They are less a messenger and more an enforcer.
Their form is intentionally segmented, these separate pieces still held under perfect control. It's as if they can disassemble reality itself into manageable parts. Cut through that deep purple fur are cathedral-like window cutouts (which came first, the Dominion⦠or the architecture?), revealing a blinding inner light. And within that light, many watchful eyes float like witnesses behind a cage of stained glass.
To match its authority, Dominion wears a halo of sharp, steeple-like points, tempered with softer, rounded shapes that echo the window cutouts.
It seems that because Dominions deal in access and enforcement, they bear a lock and a "skeleton" key. These appear to be more than mere symbols, instead allowing this guardian access to any space it deems necessary, whether itβs your home, your phoneβ¦ or your mind.
Important Note: this artwork isnβt final (and the charm options arenβt final either, as Iβll need to confirm whatβs feasible with my manufacturer). That said, Iβll be staying as close and as true to the current design as humanly possible. π
We officially hit the funding goal to unlock the 2nd Set of Purrincipality Cat colorways!! π
And the Tortie vs. Gray Tabby tiebreaker poll is still running, NECK-AND-NECK the whole time. π If you havenβt voted yet and youβd like a say in the final unlock, go cast your vote (about 7 hours remain)!
One last question before I vanish back into the sketch void:
If you had to guess what mythical animal(s) Thrones are based onβ¦ what would you think? π
