Hello campaign followers, it's time for another recap! We have 13 days until the end of the campaign. Here are all the pins we've unlocked.
Additional Stretch Goals
I'm so grateful to you all for your generous support, we've surpassed all the current stretch goals! In the little bit of time we have left I think I could add one or two more goals. Here are some options I was thinking of, which you can vote on in the attached poll:
An additional community pin design using the next most popular ideas
New colorways (may be limited to the most popular sets or designs to maintain my sanity LOL)
Preorder pins funded in the campaign as stretch goals
If you have a different idea, let me know in the comments!
Community Design
I'm happy to reveal the community design! The winning ideas were Art Nouveau Chimera who wears a mask. The following design is just a sketch and is subject to change. I'm planning to simplify it and incorporate more of an art nouveau line art style - but I hope this gets the idea across for now! In the spirit of community, this pin will be a freebie for backers who pledge for ten or more pins. Make sure you're in the Ten Pins pledge level to qualify! You can also get it as an addon or your pin of choice.
New Options for Nightmare Portrait & Dark Watcher Pins
There's some new options for the Nightmare Portrait and Dark Watcher pins! Please read the following carefully and let me know in the comments if you have any questions. Nightmare Portrait
The red variant is exclusive to backers who pledge to 6+ Oddities & Obscura campaigns.
Backers who are receiving the exclusive variant will have an option in the survey to switch to the gray variant if they prefer it.
The gray variant is open to all backers and can be purchased as an addon.
If you are planning to swap the exclusive variant for the gray variant, you do not need to purchase it as an addon, it will simply be a free option in the survey.
Both pins will have hard enamel and gold plating, the only difference is the enamel colors.
Dark Watcher
The black nickel variants are exclusive to backers who pledge to both this campaign and Cryptid Crushes.
Backers who qualify for the cross-collab pin will have an option to select which design they want in the survey.
The rainbow variants are open to all backers and will be options to select as your pin of choice in the survey.
Backers who are receiving the black nickel variant will have an option to upgrade to a rainbow plated variant for $2 USD in the survey.
The black nickel pins will have hard enamel, while the rainbow plated pins will have soft enamel and epoxy. Please note that rainbow plating is unique for every pin, and colors may differ from the mockup.
Frequently Asked Questions
I added a few questions and answers to the FAQ:
Will you add any more pledge tiers? No. If you want to add more pins to your pledge you can add them via the Addons menu - make sure to get the discounted addon if you pledge for four or more pins.
What are the "preorder pins"? I haven't finalized all these designs but to summarize they will be fanart pins plus a few original designs that did not fit with the campaign theme: including the rest of my Astrological and Zodiac putti, and Pride Angels variants. If backers decide they want preorder pins added to the campaign, I'll pick a few designs that suit the theme best and go from there!
Can I get the exclusive pins without participating in cross-collab backing? Not individually, but sometime in the future I plan to release all past and present exclusive pins in sets. This includes the Nightmare Portrait and Dark Watcher pins. Hopefully this is a good compromise between maintaining exclusivity and giving those who miss out a chance at these pins.
That's all for this update, have a wonderful rest of your evening.
