Hey all! Hope you all have been doing well! I wanted to announce that Surveys are being Rolled out! So make sure you check your inboxes and ensure you have a valid payment method ready to go! As always, if you have any questions or concerns about your survey or pledge feel free to contact me at [email protected] and I'm happy to help! I'm going to keep surveys open for a good amount of time, but keep in mind that I'll place an official order with my supplier once I reach a response rate of 80%, so the sooner you get your surveys in the sooner I can place an order :)
New Small Pin Design
As some of you might have noticed, I've added a couple of extra goodies that I wanted to break down for you below! Because of the final push at the end of the campaign, we secured enough funding for an additional small pin! As such I've added the following design as an option to choose choose as a campaign reward. This design is called Masking and will come in two color variations! Each friend will be 1.75 Inches in length, and be Dyed metal with Epoxy Coating! This design will also be available as a Vinyl Sticker for you to choose from!
Additional Add-Ons
I've also taken the time to add some friends I was planning on self funding! You can add any of these items to your order if you see fit, otherwise I'll have plenty in my shop at a later date!
First up I have my Spiky Pineapple Isopods! These were based on my beloved pet Isopods and will be teeny fellas at just 0.75 inches! They'll feature Dyed Metal Plating, Screenprint Accents, and Epoxy Coating. Each pin will be single clutch!
In addition to that, I've decided to add some Binding of Isaac themed pins as additional add-ons as well! I've wanted to make Tboi pins for a good while now so I'm very excited to finally wrap up these designs and offer them to you all! Hope you guys enjoy because I'm a huge tboi fan and would love to make more merch!!
Firstly we'll have my personal favorite character, the Lilith/Incubus Pin set! This set will include 2 pins, both hard enamel with black nickel plating! Lilith will be 1.25 Inches in Height and feature double clutch backing, while Incubus will be 0.8 Inches in Length with a single clutch backing!
And then finally I have my Dogma Pin set! Full image is on the add-on page, but this pin set will be a two piece pin with a chain attaching Dogma to a TV set! Dogma will be 2 inches in length with double clutch backing while the TV set will be 1.75 Inches in length! Both will feature UV print accents to get that funky TV static, as well as Black Dyed Metal! I'm sooo excited to see how Dogma turns out, I know it'll be great!
Vinyl Stickers
I've added Vinyl Sticker options for EVERY design from the campaign! You can choose whatever you want either as an add-on or if you pledged for the sticker pack you'll be able to choose 5 designs of your choice! Please note that the images I used for the stickers are pin mockups, and they may change in the final variation! I'm planning on cleaning up the colors and adding fancy effect accents to really make them pop! So just note there might be some slight adjustments but shouldn't be anything too major!
Holiday Break
Just a heads up that next week I'm going to be spending time with family for the Thanksgiving holiday. Rest assured that taking care of this campaign is my first and foremost priority, so I'll be available to answer any questions and keep on top of things. Right now I'm running a holiday sale and am planning on closing my shop early December for a much needed rest period, so if you'd like any goodies for the holidays be sure to place your order sooner than later!
I think that's all for now! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your love and support! I'm beyond excited to start getting these pins produced and sharing them with you all! Hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season as well!
Hey all! Hope you're doing well! Apologies for the bit of silence on my end! I was on a small, much needed, vacation and just got back from my trip!
I'm happy to say that the recolors for the original 5 designs are unlocked! Thank you so much for the overwhelming support!
As the campaign comes to a close I'll likely be quiet as I continue to work on setting up the post campaign survey and begin to organize production with my suppliers. Just a reminder that the campaign is set to close November 14 at 6PM EST
In preparation for the survey, make sure you have an accessible email address and a valid credit card on file to make the survey process go as smooth as possible! More details on the survey process will come as we get closer to them being sent out.
In the meantime, thanks so much and have a happy and safe rest of your week!
Hi all! Hope you had a happy and safe weekend! I was working hard on getting out some new designs for you all since we smashed our initial stretch goals! Please read the below information and as always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
Small Pins
I've added 3 new Pin designs in the form of Small pins! I've decided to have these pins be unlocked by default because of the success of the campaign so far. Each pin will be $12 and I've added new pledge tiers for Small Pins as as a Small Pin Add-On selection! Selections will be mad during the survey portion post campaign. I've also decided to include 2 Color variations for each design! During the survey, you'll be able to select which color pin you'd like! Below are the specifications of each new design
First up is Worm Dog which will come in two colors: Black (top) and Red (Bottom). Each pin will be 1.75 Inches in width The Black Coloration will feature Red Dyed Metal Plating and a dangle chain accent. The Red Coloration will feature Red Chrome Plating and a dangle chain accent. Both pins will be soft enamel with an epoxy topcoat!
Second up we have Bliss which will come in two color variations: Green/Black (top) and Pink/Purple (Bottom). Each pin will be 1.75 Inches in height The Green/Black Coloration will feature Green Dyed Metal Plating and Green Glow in the Dark accents on the yellow clouds The Pink/Purple Coloration will feature a Purple Dyed Metal Plating with Glitter and pearl accents in the cloud and body. Both Pins will be Soft Enamel with an Epoxy Topcoat! Finally we have Mischievous Divinity which will come in two color variations: White/Gold and Red/Black. Each pin will be 1.5 Inches in Width The White/Gold Coloration will feature Gold Plated Hard Enamel The Black/Red Coloration will feature Black Nickel Hard Enamel
In addition to these three new pins, if missed the eligibility window for the freebie earlybird pin Lose your Head and still want this design, you can add it to your pledge by selecting a Small Pin add-on or pledging for the Small Pin tiers!
Alternate Colorations
For each of the main designs, I've created Alternate Colors which you'll be able to select if unlocked! The entire set of 5 Alt Colors will be unlocked if the campaign reaches $6500 dollars! Please note that Rainbow Plating has a wide variation in color appearance and these are just mockups. In addition, UV Print colors may be darker on the final product than in the mockup! UV Printing can also have a bit of grain when looked at closely, this isn't considered a fault and is just the nature of working with this technique.
If these color variations are unlocked, you'll be able to select them on your survey. Otherwise, I'll have them as a stretch goal unlock in the post campaign survey.
Stickers
If you look on the pledge levels I've added more sticker variations to the campaign! Like my other stickers, these may feature special effects like shiny mirror or glitter accents and will be printed on waterproof vinyl. I've added Mini Pin Designs, Small Pin Designs, and Alt Color Designs as sticker options in addition to the already existing 5 base stickers. These are NOT gated by any unlock condition and you'll be able to choose which sticker you want in the post campaign survey.
For those who pledged to the Sticker Pack which features 5 Stickers of your choice, you'll be able to choose 5 stickers from any of the options listed under the pledge level.
I think that's all for now! We have tons of time left so I'm confident we'll be able to unlock these goals! If we do, I'll consider working on some of the large pins I teased in the previous update!
Thanks so much for your support and have a happy Monday!
Hey friends! Hope you're all having a great Friday! I'm so excited to say that we've already hit our funding goal for all 5 of the main pins!!
I couldn't be happier and sincerely appreciate your positive response to this project! Like all my collections, this is absolutely a labor of love which I enjoy sharing with others!
With the weekend coming up, I'd love to work on some new stretch goals to keep the ball rolling! I have tons of WIP's or scrapped ideas I'd love to bring to life or rework. I've created a poll in which you can vote on what you want to see next! Find the link to the poll HERE
Don't worry though! If there's something you like and it doesn't get funded or voted on I'm planning on having it be a goal during the survey process!
Here's a rundown and some examples of what I have planned.... Please note these are subject to change since they're mostly WIP's! New Small Pin Designs These would range in the 1.5 -> 1.75 inch range and feature new designs. Each Small Pin would cost 12 dollars.. Some examples of concepts below:
A cool dog thing
Just a Little Guy
Blissful little friend
New Large Pin Designs These pins would be similar to the main 5 pins for the campaign, in that they'd be larger sized and feature more fancy effects!! Here's some concepts I had doodled up
Weight of the Sludge
Apathy Beast, might tweak this one more
Alt Colorations for Existing Designs I have some pretty fancy colorways thought up for the existing designs! Below are a sample of a couple of the colorways I had doodled down
Rainbow Plating
Rainbow Plating Plus UV Print
And that's it! I'll have an update at the end of the weekend once I've decided based on the polls what you all would love to see!
Also just as a little heads up, I'm running a holiday sale on my shop VILEWORM ! I'm planning on renovating my attic soon to be a workshop/shop room for me and want to clear out some older inventory!! All things marked as RETIRED will be pulled from my shop at the end of this year, so check it out!
That's all for now! Thank you so much again and have a great and safe weekend!! See ya soon!
