about 4 years ago – Fri, Oct 09, 2020 at 09:40:27 AM

As promised, here are the next two stretch goals!!! Garmr is already unlocked and Ahuizotl is $3 away as I'm writing this. I'm still working on the Tiangou as I'm trying to work out some design fluidity flaws but I should have an update by tomorrow night with him :)

Almost there!

We are almost there! Only 7 days to go and we are super close to unlocking the last 2 designs!!! I'm sure we can do it! I'm finished with the designs for the Yeth Hound and Zburator and I'll finish the other three designs today and post another update this evening. Without further ado, here are the next two pins, and they are already unlocked!!! The Yeth hound is a headless specter, however, making just a stump would be weird and confusing so his head will be transparent enamel, its hard to depict it here but the final pin will look spoooktacular! To add to his ghostly appearance he will be done with silver plating. 

The Zburator is a wolf headed dragon from Russian folklore. He will be a black nickel plating. 

Sorry it took so long, I started a new job to help get me through the rest of the year financially and had my first day off today. I'm also still working on the pin banners for backers of 6 or more pins, my first go was a little rough so I'm still working out all the kinks. Thank you all again so much for you're amazing support, you all blew me away with your kindness and generosity and your love for the project and I can't thank you enough.

Hey guys I need your help deciding!!! Here are my design sketches for the next five pins I need you help deciding if the Yeth Hound should have a transparent or glow in the dark head, I’m leaning towards transparent but wanted to check your opinions. These are just sketches and do not reflect the final design and colors. Thank you all so much for your support and I know we can get these next five unlocked!!! I also added a few new pledge levels including a one of everything tier. It includes every unlocked pin including variants, chain pin and my previously made designs.

$5000 and still going strong!!!

We made it to the first chain pin stretch goal!!! Just a little under $400 more and the second one will be unlocked! To celebrate the amazing news I have created a new designs that will be a FREE PIN!!!. The Free Pin will be available to anyone who backs 3 or more pins, if you backed 1 or 2 now is a great chance to up your pledge level in order to receive an extra free pin. The free pin will be 1.5 inches and all bronze plating. The darker parts will be sandblasted to create a little definition.

 I'm still working on another freebie, but it requires time for me to make since it's the first time I've made a pin banner. There should be an update on that very soon, thee pin banners will also be a freebie and will be available to anyone who back six or more pins. I'll also have an update on backing cards soon as well. In addition, I am working on a few new designs at the moment and would love you feedback on which you would like first. I have a few more that I'm trying to figure out the design on but these three are my favorites so far. Also, the Yeth hound's head will either be glow in the dark or transparent.

WE DID IT!!!! We Made the 8th stretch goal!

(Read with Kermit voice) YAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!! We made it to our 8th stretch goal!!! You guys are beyond awesome! To celebrate, I've started compiling a couple things to create as freebies! Oooo, ahhh. Sorry I'm very hopped up on caffeine right now. There will be more on freebies later but for now I'd like to show you the next two pins! Hati and Skoll, the Nordic chaser of the Sun and Moon. These will be chain pins and as such will be at a slightly higher pledge level, if you would like Hati and Skoll they will be $16 rather than $10 so simply add that amount to your pledge level. For Early Bird Backers, your special price will be $14. If that doesn't make any sense let me know, I'd be happy to reword it :). If you only want the chain pins I'll have those as separate listings. I don't currently have any more designs drawn up right now but am working on designs for Tiangou, Yeth Hound, Kyon Khryseos and possibly Garm and the Failinis Hound. 

Skoll will be Gold Plating 

Hati will be Silver Plating

Also here is a hint of something I'm working on as a freebie for backers who pledge for 6 or more pins :)
