Firstly I want to say I'm so thrilled with the amount of pin sets that have been funded so far! I've been able to cover such a range of characters I seriously never imagined would be possible and I'm really thankful for all the support. With that said I have a triple-whammy update here!
Update #1 - Starry Sky Pin
I’ve received a prophecy! All backers who pledge over $50 shall have bestowed upon them a super shiny gift from the stars…✨⭐️ This pin really stands out from the rest! It is about 1.5” and features a silvery shiny metal and glitter enamel. The stars even glow in the dark!
Update #2 - New Pin Sets
In case you haven’t seen on the story page I’ve continued steadily adding new stretch goal pin sets! Since my last update post, I’ve added 18 new sets - 16 of which have already been funded!! Here are the next two to unlock:
Snow & Rose unlock at $11,700!
Dapple & Tree unlock at $11,950!
Update #3 - What’s Next
Now, I have an important update: Dapple & Tree is the last planned pin set stretch goal for this campaign. I hope everyone can understand my reasons for this:
While of course I am so grateful for the unexpectedly overwhelming support this project has received, churning out this many new designs this quickly has really done a number on my energy. While running this campaign, I'm also a full time student at the same time. As you can imagine I've been really busy 😭 I'll need time to recharge.
I feel satisfied that I've adequately covered the most popular and, maybe more importantly, visually recognizable characters. We all know I could go on forever getting more and more niche but at the end of the day I just don't want to end up with a whole lot of overstock for less popular characters. I think I have a good balance here.
There are some very recent characters who were requested and I prefer to revisit these later when we know more about them! So they haven't been completely vetoed, just put on hold.
However! All this does not mean that I'm done working on the campaign! We still have a long way to go before the end. I'm currently working on organizing all of the new cats onto additional sticker sheets. In fact, I may slip a few "honorable mention" characters that didn't make the cut as pins into these sheets! If I missed your favorite character, you may still see them represented! Keep an eye out for an update on those. I’m also working on a second, even more limited special freebie pin to go with Starry Skies. I’ll be sharing this design as soon as it’s ready!
I actually also have an additional stretch goal planned if we unlock Dapple & Tree, but it isn't a pin set! It's something I'm still planning and looking into the logistics of so I won't reveal it just yet- Just know there's still lots of work going on behind the scenes here!
I also want to give super special thanks to my best friend and business partner Squiidg who has helped me so much on this whole project, from the earliest ideation stages to helping keep this page up to date while I've been working on new designs. Genuinely this project would not be where it is now without her. If you like Tiny Warriors you will certainly like what she has in store so please check out her art and her shop!!
That’s all for now! Thanks again for all the support so far, I truly can’t even comprehend it. I’m so glad you all like my silly little kitty cats 🐱❤️
