Adventurers, our journey is ending in just over a week already! I've been working hard to finalize pin designs for the first three and start work on our stretch goal pins, and I'm excited to introduce all of you to our finalized Nessie, with her driftwood and kelpie harp!

These are far and away the most complicated pin designs I've ever done, but I'm so pleased with how they're turning out! The pins are looking to be 2" tall when finished and I expect some small pieces of the pins (like the extra thin music swirls) may still need to be simplified to align with manufacturing needs. But the sticker versions should look more or less exactly like this, and at a larger 4" tall!

I have some final tweaks still to make to the Phoenix and Tree Guardian, but also wanted to make sure to note the winners of our stretch goal poll of bards to to add to our existing band!

I already had a design worked out for the dragon that takes the dragon in a slightly more studious bardic direction, but I think it'll be a good addition to the current crew! The will-o'-the-wisp design is a far more ethereal kind of vibe than the first four, but I think there's some opportunities for some great swirls (and maybe glow in the dark??) with this one. And the wolpertinger gives the whole set some grounding that I think will create beautiful harmony with the rest of the bards.

We're well on our way to unlocking the dragon, and I should have sketches and initial designs for these three coming soon!
