Big Update!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Sep 24, 2020 at 12:18:13 AM

Hello everyone!

I have a few things to update. This biggest and best news is the Cadejo were unlocked! I also finished the design for the next pin which is the Crocotta, a creature commonly found in Ethiopia and India. He is also pretty close to getting unlocked and I am busy at work finalizing the designs for the chain pins. I have a few ideas for designs after the chain pins are unlocked, but we have a ways to go till then, to help us reach the goal please share the project with you friend, family and followers. 

Also, by popular demand, I have also switched a few of the pins facing direction. The Raiju, Alphyn, Gwyllgi, and Barghest now are facing right instead of left, this is to create variety and also to create union between beasts of the same origin, such as the Cwn Annwn and the Gwyllgi and the Raiju and Inugami. I also corrected a few typos in the descriptions and origins. 

My next update should be very soon with the revealing of the next two pins, backing card designs, and a very special surprise I am currently creating. Stay tuned, and don't forget to share!

Second Round of Stretch Goals!!!
over 3 years ago – Sat, Sep 19, 2020 at 11:10:07 PM

I've been busy wrapping up the next few designs to start off the second round of stretch goals and here are the first two( and a half) designs! The first designs, which will be unlocked once and if we reach 3,000 is the Gwyllgi, a spectral dog from Whales also known as "The Black Hound of Destiny" He's a pretty frightening apparition so I tried to really push his design, He also pairs well with my other Welsh mythological canine, the Cwn Annwn. 

The other design is actually set as a pair, so for the price of one pin you will get two 1.5" pins. The Cadejo hail from Central America and represent good and evil as one helps strangers and traveler while the other like to stand on his hind legs and punch them in the gut. At this point, I'm thinking of having the designs each facing a different direction, however, if you would like them to be facing the same way to keep the series consistent please let me know, if enough people want the change I'll adjust the design. 

That's all I have for now, since things are starting to slow down a bit it might be a few days until I post another update, however once we reach the 6th stretch goal I'll reveal the 8th design. I have a few ideas I'm working on just in case we are able to back all 15 designs, including a few more canines and non-enamel pin merch such as a pin banner or display box. If you have any ideas, or canines you would like to see transformed into pins please let me know, I'd love to hear from you. :) That's all for now, Thank you all again from the deepest realms of my soul. 

First wave of Stretch Goals Reached!!!

We did it! We reached all the first wave of stretch goals! That means when the project is done there will be at least 10 brand new designs! I'm busy at work finalizing the new designs, (you all worked faster than I did). I'll have an update with the next two pin designs tomorrow. For now I am happy to announce wave 2 of stretch goals!!! With the first wave I was a little too earnest and should have perhaps spaced out the goals a little more, so the spacing between unlocks based on amount raised will be a little more stretched out. I will also be adding two chain pins of two canines I've had a lot of requests for, it should be pretty easy to guess based on the limited descriptions.  I have a few more ideas to throw out if all the second wave of stretch goals get reached, not just limited to enamel pins. I'll wait until we are a little closer to unlocking all of the 2nd round, but I'm very excited to the days coming ahead. Thank you all again for your support, I couldn't do this without you :)

New Stretch Goals Added

You guys! I am floored by the immense support this project has received. It is beyond anything I had dreamed to have gotten this far so soon. We unlocked not one, not two, but three stretch goals today!!! One which I hadn't even revealed the design for yet. Here are the unlocked new design (Cerberus) and two new designs (Bul-Gae and Black Shuck). I'm busy at work finishing the designs of the next 5 and will be updating you all soon, I hadn't expected to have gotten this far so soon, so the new designs aren't quite ready yet! Thank you again and I hope you love the new doggos!

Fully Funded!!!!

YAY!!!! We did it! And under 48 hours too!!! I am overwhelmed by the support, I started crying last night when I saw it was funded so soon, I just can't believe it happened so fast. This is my first Kickstarter and I just wasn't expecting this level of support, thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. In anticipation of unlocking the stretch goals I went ahead and opened a few more reward slots. We are already super close to unlocking the Barghest so I went ahead and added the full image for the next Canine, the Inugami. Even though its definitely one of the most disturbing origin wise, he's one of my favorite designs, so I hope you all like him :). In addition, I have decided to have the Raiju available as both the yellow and gold and the blue and silver, when I send out surveys at the end of the campaign you can specify which version you want it you want the Raiju, if you want both that's awesome too XD.
