Hey everyone! Things are moving ahead finally woo! Ive been getting the molds for all the pins going during all this, and now the surveys have been sent out! Once I have the bulk of those back I will be placing the order for how many of each pin we need, so answer those as soon as you can please! I wont charge cards until close to the end of the month, and I wont lock addresses until its time to ship so no worries there :)


Little personal update just to keep you posted. One of my real familiars is on the loose and Ive been looking for him all week so keep me in your thoughts there. Ive also just had to move from where I was living as there was a water leak and I'll be moving to a more permanent situation(hopefully!) in early october so that shouldnt affect anything with this project, but felt it was a good idea to share regardless. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and a good week to come. 

Smoke Test sent out, fully survey to follow!

Hey everyone! Smoke test just went out on backerkit, assuming that nothing is wrong there you can all expect to receive your surveys in the next few days. It took me a bit longer than anticipated because of there being so many items and me being very bad at using backerkit haha. Luckily the people who work there are all awesome so we should have it good to go. Also wanting to let you know that the pre-order store is open as well if anyone wasn't able to join the campaign when it was active. You backers will be able to add things to your order when you receive the surveys! Thank you guys as always! I'm going to be in Virginia Beach at Superstar anime if any of you lovely people will be there feel free to swing by, I'll have a little free sticker for you. Otherwise I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Good news for coyote

Hey everyone! Liittle update, the coyote design has made some great improvements. It has to be soft enamel with dyed black metal to correct the design more, but! It looks so so much closer to what I had in mind. Crisis avoided, and I can now get the backerkit finished finally.

Final coyote design

I dont know if you remember where we were at before but…

Closest I got before

Coyote pantone issues
almost 2 years ago – Wed, Jul 20, 2022 at 03:23:32 AM

Hey everyone! Im currently in the process of getting all the designs finalized and im so happy with almost all of them. The only issue that im currently having is that with that swamp coyote. I foolishly didnt pick pantones before i finalized the design, and now its a bit difficult to match. The colors are so dark and muted that finding exact matches is... not working out. Im going to keep working with my manufacturer to get these as close as possible, and they will be finalized before i send surveys out so that each of you can be 100% on what you will recieve. Right now this is where we stand, so if any of you have any idea of how to get them closer im very open to it!

Original design
Working pantones

I still like the way it looks but I may end up making some changes to it to make the design work better. Otherwise everything is going well, colors are confrimed, and we are getting ready to go!

Totally blown away, thank you!

I cant even express how excited I am. This project was one I was so happy about, making quizzes and just brainstorming animals with my best friends. I try not to get attached to things before I know how they are gonna go,  but I couldnt help it this time. And here we are! Its my largest and most successful project to date! Im not a particularly emotional person but this did make me tear up a bit that something I've been working on for months was so well recieved. 

I already have the molds in production for every design, so hopefully that will speed things up a little bit for us, and I'm working to make sure everything is exactly how we want it. The backerkit is in the review process right now, so be on the look out for it next week sometime. In the mean time thank you all so much, it really really does me good to have this right now. Been a rough few months and this lightened it right up. I have a lot more ideas for cool (I hope!) familiars that I wasnt able to get done for this project, and I cant wait to get those out there!
