Update: Surveys Under Review + Freebie Pin Results + Pre-Order
5 months ago – Sun, May 26, 2024 at 01:02:55 PM

Hello everyone!!

First, I'll like to apologise for the silence. It was not intentional and there were multiple factors that added in. It is not an excuse, and I should have posted an update to keep everyone informed about any potential delays. If there are ever any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me, and thank you to those that did.

Second, the surveys have been sent to Backerkit to review. I'm hoping to hear back from them by Wednesday, and when I do, I'll be sending them out once I make any corrections they deem necessary.

Third, the results of the freebie pin to everyone that pledged at least for 1 pin.


Sea otters won the vote!
I've been reading through the comments and saw that multiple people were interested in some of the other designs and had an extremely difficult time voting. Honestly, it means a lot that it was difficult because I'm just glad you guys like my designs... So, as stated before, these following designs will be unlocked if we reach our goal of 25 orders per design.


They can be added on to your pledges, and for those that missed the project, you can definitely back them through the pre-order page!

Thank you all for your patience, and I'll be doing my best to try to get your pledges to you as soon as possible!

Good evening everyone,

I apologise for the delays already... However, the voting poll for the freebie pin is live!! Please vote for your favourite design!

I set the end date to be Monday at 11 PM PST. During that time, I'll be working on the two custom designs as well as prepping the surveys and the pre-order store.

Thank you all!

Update: Delays on Poll

Hi everyone!

I apologise that there will be a delay in getting the poll out for the freebie pin. I was hoping to be able to take some time to sketch them out prior to me leaving for C2E2, but sadly I didn’t have time… I’ll get them done on the Monday I come back, and send out the polls then.

Thank you for your understanding, and if you’re at C2E2, please feel free to stop by and say hi or tell me to catch up haha. I’m at N-06.

Hello everyone,

I was suppose to post an update that you guys smashed through the stretch goals, but life got in the way... _sweats_ Honestly, these past couple of hours have been amazing. I'm extremely thankful of all of this support, and as a thank you, I wanna give you guys some additional options...

I tried to set up a poll on backerkit, but it is being silly...
