This is a pin project about Gods from the Greek Mythology ! I've been playing some Hades 2 not long ago and it got me pretty hyped about the art. Sadly I haven't seen a lot of merch for this kind art/theme so I decided to have a try about it !
This is a pin project about Characters from the Greek Mythology ! I have 2 main inspirations for this project :
-I've been playing some Hades 2 not long ago and it got me pretty hyped about the art. Sadly I haven't seen a lot of merch for this kind art/theme so I decided to have a try about it !
-I've been in greece recently and I've been able to discover a part of their story through museums / ancient Greek monuments. Knowing that their was an event about Myth was a sign for me to work on this project !!
* Who is Harmonia ? She is a water nymph, and depending on the sources, she's described as the lover or daughter of Ares. One thing's for sure : she's just as combative & strong as Ares is. She became the first Amazon and trained women to be warriors. Her courage and determination are unstoppable. At the same time, Harmonia lives up to her name, because she is in harmony with nature, as well as with her delicacy and strength. (Ares is the God of War / Amazons are a nation of warriors, especially women)
* Who is Medusa ? She is one of the Gorgon sisters (with Euryale & Stheno). Her snakes and her petrifying eyes are both to protect her from enemies and to give her the power to instill great fear. If she was described at the time as a monster (with a face like a boar or fangs), she became increasingly human in the classical period. Today, she has even become a feminist symbol, since Medusa is a strong woman who does not give in. Her gaze, as charming as it's dangerous, reminds us of her story.
* Who is Apollo ? He is the God of sunlight, but also of music & songs. Apollo is also known for his beauty and the oracles of Delphi. With his bow, he brings both healing and disease to exact his revenge. If there's one thing that sets him apart, it's his self-confidence.
He's not afraid of others, because he shines far brighter than any mortal. He is free from others' judgment and loves to create. This is how he became the patron of the Nine Muses. By observing these 9 sisters, he discovered their hidden talents : Calliope/Eloquence & Epic poetry, Clio/History, Polyhymnia/Sacred hymn & dance, Euterpe/Music & Lyric poetry, Terpsichore/Dance & Chorus, Erato/Literature & Science, Melpomene/Tragedy, Thalia/Comedy & Idyllic poetry, and Urania/Astronomy & Astrology.
* Who is Artemis ? She is the Goddess of hunting, wilderness & chastity. She didn't want to get married so she asked Zeus, her dad, to be free of her duties. That's not to say that she has no responsibility! She protects young girls, saves women during childbirth, and takes care of all the wild animals in the forest. With a strong personality and a gentle heart, she is the best archer in the world. She is a Goddess associated with the Moon, unlike her brother Apollo, who is associated with the Sun.
* Who is Hermes ? He is the messenger of the Gods and protects all kinds of travelers : from merchants to adventurers... to thieves! There's no difference for Hermes: if you've got a secret, he'll keep it forever. He will even guide you to Hades' territory, in the Underworld. Everyone enjoys Hermes' jokes and good humor, Gods & Mortals. Even if he is a deity, he will not hesitate to help a shepherd or heal a passer-by. His natural luck allows him to get out of any situation, and with his winged shoes, he can travel wherever he wants. He's the God you need to go on a Quest!
>NEW STRETCH GOALS!!!

Hello, I'm Pokepinsu. I've started an independant journey late 2022. After funding 3 projects on Kickstarter & Backerkit and conceiving my Etsy shop, I've decided to join the Pin Quest: Myths and Monsters!
This could change if the number of backers exceed my expectations or if I got production/any issues along the way. I'll try to keep you updated every two weeks.
June : The campaign will start the 23rd of January and end the 13th of February.
July : shortly after the end of the campaign you'll have to complete a survey to tell us which unlocked pin(s) design(s) you're wishing for.
August/September : Samples + Production.
November/December : Shipping - I receive the pins.
Shipping is not included in the rewards pricing. After the campaign is over you'll receive a survey to complete. The survey will ask you to choose 1st your pins among the unlocked ones, 2nd If you want some tracked shipping (cause this is not included by default), 3rd addons. After the survey you'll be charged for the shipping based on weight.
International backers are responsible for any customs or VAT taxes.
Choose tracked shipping for more security. I cannot be held responsible for any lost mail or delays. (last campaign I had no problem ^^)
International backers must also cover any applicable customs/import taxes (if there is any). In cases where undelivered mail is the courier's fault, tracked shipments have insurance coverage, enabling cost recovery and package resending. However, if the recipient is at fault (e.g., incorrect address or unclaimed package), the package will be considered delivered, and no refunds or resending requests will be accepted, regardless of the shipment option chosen.
The challenge is to do even better than the two projects I did ! I'll work harder and I'll go above and beyond to make the best looking pin I can do about this culture I love.
I'll try to add more and more stretchgoals during the campaign so don't forget to check sometimes !
Risks are allways the delays. (I'll make sure to keep you informed and to resolve any problem as fast as I can).
DISCLAIMER : These are not toys, they are only suitable for 14+ years old

* Who is Cerberus ? This cute 3-headed dog is the fearsome guardian of the underworld & Hades' companion. He likes to toy with the bones he finds in the underworld, and loves to play hide-and-seek with the lost souls. He can sense if you're still alive, and won't let you pass into his realm. He makes sure you enjoy life before you join him in the Dark World.
