Hello, Paleo Pals, returning and new! Once again, you all never fail to sweep us off our feet; Paleo Pals: Series 2 was totally funded within the first hour!! You guys are absolutely incredible, and we owe this amazing launch to you all!

But the journey is far from over... you folks have already crushed the first three stretch goals, and are swiftly approaching our fourth: The AQUATIC vote! We need your help to make the best pins possible, so make sure to cast your vote below.

We hear you all loud and clear - MORE feathers! Archaeopteryx has won the Jurassic vote by a wide margin, and we're hoping to make this pin a complimentary piece to the Microraptor already in the lineup.

Recent studies have found that Archaeopteryx likely bore a predominantly matte-black plumage. But, in an effort to help this guy stand out from the Microraptor pin, we'll be designing this guy with colorful plumage, harkening back to more "retro" Archaeopteryx reconstructions, with warm, parrot-inspired coloration.

Here's a couple sketches while we work on finalizing the colors, if you have a preference, feel free to shout it out:

Since it's the next in line for unlock, cast your vote for what aquatic all-timer makes it to the final lineup! We tried to include a diverse range of critters, from the mighty Kronosaurus, to some personal favorite Cambrian weirdos like the Tully Monster.

Vote below for what animal you want to see represent the prehistoric seas!
What's YOUR favorite aquatic beastie?

Thanks all for a phenomenal launch, we'll be back soon with updates as they come! While you're here, be sure to check out the other awesome creators contributing to Super League of Science, there's plenty more prehistoric campaigns to pledge to ;)
