Hey all!

I have an important announcement regarding early bird tiers for Celestial Incarnations, as they will be functioning differently than usual.

For Celestial Incarnations, Early Bird tiers will be limited by quantity instead of being fully available for the first 48 hours of the campaign.

This means that Early Bird tiers could (and likely will) sell out before the first 48 hours of the campaign have elapsed. 

To give backers in the EU/UK a fighting chance at early bird tiers since they're in a different time zone, there will be a very limited amount of EU/UK exclusive Early Bird tiers:

Early Bird tier backers will have special access to discounted pricing for add-ons, as usual.

I expect there's a good chance that all these early bird tiers could sell out within the first few hours of the campaign, so if you want the best chance at snagging an early bird spot, make sure you're present during launch, which is January 22nd at 12pm Central Time (convert to your time zone, if necessary)!

Once the early bird tiers are gone, they're gone - I will not be adding any more.

Tip: Backers frequently change or cancel pledges throughout the course of a campaign. If an early bird backer cancels their pledge, their spot in the early bird tier will become available for someone else to take. Feel free to keep an eye on the early bird tiers and snag a spot in one if you see one become available! ;)

Backers who pledge within the first 48 hours of the campaign will receive this mini sticker sheet featuring chibi versions of The Sun & The Moon!

The sticker sheet will be 4.25"x3". Both stickers on the sheet will be approximately 2.5" tall.

This sticker sheet will be included for ALL backers who pledge within the first 48 hours, regardless of whether or not they manage to nab one of the early bird tiers.

It will also be available as an add-on for everyone else for $10.

SO excited to launch on the 22nd - it's only a week away now! 😱

Thanks for reading!

Hey all!

So excited to share with you the last 3 pins in the Celestial Incarnations set, which are the 3 jumbo pins: The Night Sky, Crescent Moon (I thought I was gonna rename this and decided not to), and Stellar Nebula.

Each of these will measure 4" on their longest side and will cost $50 each ($45 for early birds). 

The above artwork is how I want the pins to look, however, with the Crescent Moon and Stellar Nebula in particular, there are a few special effects on these pins that I've never done before on a pin, such as opal glitter, pearl swirl gradients, and pearl glitter gradients.

I am currently in the process of getting a sample made of the Stellar Nebula, which I feel will be the trickiest one since it has multiple spots with pearl swirl gradients and I want to make sure my manufacturer can pull these effects off.

If they can't, I may need to make some changes to the colors/designs/effects in case these effects end up looking bad. I don't want these pins to look bad, I want them to look epic as hell, so please understand that if I have to make changes to these designs, it's for the benefit of the appearance of the final pin.

Regardless, I do feel that these really are some of the coolest designs I've made to date and I'm SO excited for them.

What are your thoughts? Now that you've seen all the pins, which ones are your favorites?

I have a couple more announcements to make before launch, which is in less than 2 weeks. Crazy!! It's approaching very fast. I'm nervous, but mostly excited!!

Hey friends!

I have finished the last of the 8 regular sized pins and wanted to share them! Here are the Neutron Star and Supernova designs! 

I'm so excited about how all these are turning out and I hope you are enjoying seeing them!

I have also completed the 3 jumbo pins (Stellar Nebula, Night Sky, and Crescent Moon, which I'm renaming to Lunar Repose) but I'll share those in a different update because I think they deserve their own, but I can tell you that I think the jumbo pins are some of the coolest pins I've made yet. I can't wait to share them!

Hey space cadets!

I have 4 more pin designs done for you today! :D We have Ordinary Star, Black Hole, Comet, and Dark Matter! I'm so pumped for how these are all turning out so far and I hope you are too! 

As you might have been able to tell, all these pins have glitter effects of some sort in the pin. For the Ordinary Star, it's in the hair & star motifs. For Black Hole, it's in the accretion disc. In the Comet, it's in the hair. Dark Matter is a bit different - instead of regular glitter, he will have pearl swirl in his hair, since pearl swirl kind of gives the effect of dark matter, and I thought it would look neat :)

What do you guys think of these? Have your favorites changed based on how they look with colors added? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

There are still several pins left to finalize, so look out for more updates between now and launch day! So excited to launch on the 22nd!!

Hope you all have a happy new year and thanks for reading!

Hey there space cadets!

I have an exciting update for you - I've finally completed the first 2 designs in the Celesetial Incarnations pin set and I wanted to share them with y'all!

The Sun and The Moon:



These will be the first two pins to unlock in the campaign, along with freebies & incentive items! Since these two are our closest celestial neighbors (at least of the ones I am drawing), I thought it fitting that they be the first two to unlock! Besides, who doesn't love a good sun and moon pairing??

I'm very excited about how both of these turned out and I'm really looking forward to doing the rest. Launch is less than a month away now so I got a lot to in that time, but I'm working as fast as I can without burning myself out.

Thanks for reading and I hope you look forward to more pin designs coming soon!
