Hello everyone!

We are around one full week to go and I have something exciting and important to share with you.

CHANGES TO DESIGNS

Constantly we as artists draw and draw, and draw. We consume art, we push out art. It repeats and is a constant cycle created out of love and passion. The best artists will continue to find inspiration in the world that we live in but also push out inspiration towards others in our unique ways. Pokemon is a very much new fandom for me to be a part of as I'm commonly more indulgent in cute anime girls and fat cats who eat lasagna.

I loved Pokemon for ages but am coming in for the first time as a creator and hence I struggled a lot with coming to terms with finding myself and my own style (hence why my art and designs are constantly changing while I work within these processes). All of this is constantly evolving (like Pokemon do) as I push these boundaries myself. Additionally, enamel pins are also a bit of a new realm for me as this is my second project but first largest set of dyed soft-enamel pins, so I'm constantly trying to go back to the drawing board to see what would work in my own way and in my own style.

I apologize for the constant changes, I want this project to go well, but I also want this project to be something that I feel the best about and something that is faithful to what my own individual creative processes are.

I hold so much love for those artists who have made my favorite pieces of artwork and driven me to continue to create, and I only want to produce art in my own way that would spark the same amount of love in hopes that one day giving my best would also instill the same feeling of inspiration to others. Thus, I have to revise, revise, revise. I have to talk to people, I have to listen to people outside of different communities. I need to immerse myself in new territories and own tools and play with them until I find something new. In only that way can I be OK and proud of the designs that I am creating.

Hence, I have chosen to change three of my designs to have more individuality and creative freedom that I felt wasn't reflected in my original designs for selected Pokemon. I've done multiple sketches over and over again to try to conjure up something that I felt was my own unique individual take on something that hasn't been done before. I'm always open to feedback, I'm always wanting to grow and learn. All of these lead to changes, which as an artist and person, is always a good thing.
 
Milotic, Gardevoir, and Mew were all changed during this revision process. I'm presenting to you new designs. I know that in a previous update I had stated that no designs would be changed, and I'm sorry but I feel that these updates are pivotal for me as an artist to push out a product that is more accurate to my independent journey as an artist and more unique to what I'm able to offer! As always, I'm receptive to feedback to grow and learn, so if you have any comments that you'd like to share, please always feel free to reach out to me. I am always receptive to feedback, especially when I'm growing and changing. A big thank you to everyone who has been very patient and understanding towards me while I'm figuring this out.

If you have previously pledged for Milotic, Gardevoir and Mew and you are unhappy with these changes, please change your pledges accordingly!

During the last week of the campaign, please take a look at the final roster and make your decisions to choose which Pokemon you'd like in your journey!

ALTERNATIVE DESIGN CHOICES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR MEW AND JIRACHI

Additionally - I am now offering two alternatives for the Jirachi and Mew designs.

When you are sent a survey at the end of the campaign to choose your enamel pins and you were pledging for either Mew or Jirachi, you will be given the option to select one of the two variants of the designs:

Both have slight variations and allow you to choose to have a different feeling with the enamel pin of your choice!

NEW PLEDGE TIER

I have added a new Pledge Tier (for the ALL-IN to get all of the Mochimon items from this campaign) if you would like all 15 designs. You can mix and match however you'd like however, so if you want 10 Jirachi's, the sky is yours! This will come with a discount of $5 BUT ALSO come with the full set of Mochimon stickers.

Just a reminder that if you haven't changed your pledge in some time, the amount of pins has changed. There are now 15 total and with two variants, there's 17. The all-in champion tier only includes enough for you to choose one of each design (and one of the variants per design). So please be sure to double-check your pledges before the campaign is over!

THANK YOU

Thank you for all of you for your patience and support. I promise you that I love to hear from everyone. If anyone has any comments, suggestions, feedback, I am always OK with receiving it. Please feel free to reach out to me through email [email protected], DMs or even as a comment here. I welcome all feedback and always want to provide you with the best that I can do.
