Good evening everyone!

Its the end of Day 4 and we have some big news to celebrate! First, we hit $5,000! This has been my biggest, most successful campaign yet- and its only been 4 days!

Also: Pay Over Time is now available on pledges of $150 or more. If you use pay over time, you won't get your survey until after the last payment, but that shouldn't be more than a week or two of a delay after the campaign ends and initial surveys go out.

Design Updates:
First- I have the lineart and basic colors drawn out for the Nonbinary, Pansexual, and Asexual pins:



Colors are not final, but won't bee too different from what's shown here.

New Stretch Goals:
First, I have a new Large Sticker and Car Magnet option available! This would have been a new goal to unlock but between designing them and posting this update, we already hit the goal ;)
Introducing the Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss Gargoyle, available as both a large 4x2" sticker and car magnet:



New Stickers:
Since we hit the lofty goal of $5,000, I decided to add sticker versions of all Pride Creature pins! These will be 3" wide, and count as a 'small sticker' for your pledges. The designs for these will be largely the same as their pin counterparts, with small differences in the colors, shading, and extra details that wouldn't be possible in an enamel pin.
Promo images for these stickers will be coming soon(ish)!

Poll Updates:
There's a new poll to check out! This is for the Aromantic Creature design, and the choices will be between the Hippocampus, Chimera (lion and goat heads, snake tail), and Wolpertinger (winged, horned, hare from German mythology). Vote now through the Community tab or check out the poll attached to the bottom of this update.
The poll for the next flag, the Queer flag, will be posted tomorrow night, so keep an eye out for that and cast your vote!

What's Next:
At the moment, there is just one more goal we haven't hit yet (yet), and that will be the Genderfluid Creature pin at $5,350. Currently, this will be the last of the Pride Creatures. However, if this project continues to gain speed, I will absolutely consider adding more options!
In the meantime, I will be working on catching up on designs for the already unlocked pins and a few smaller extras like stickers, magnets, lanyards etc. that I'll add to the campaign later.

This will likely be my last major update for a few days, but I will be keeping an eye out for comments and questions so please speak up if you have an idea or question about something :)

As of writing this, we have cleared $4,300 raised! This milestone unlocks the Asexual Creature pin and two new pronoun options.

Though they were already unlocked yesterday, I hadn't finished the Lesbian and Bisexual pin designs until this morning. The most popular creatures from the poll were turned into these designs:



Colors aren't final yet, but I wanted to show an example of what they will likely look like. The Peryton Lesbian pin will stay a neutral brown color, though I'm thinking it will be a more warm golden brown when finalized.
The Bisexual Gryphon was a little harder to decide colors for, since many gryphon illustrations I've seen are brown, white, or golden in color. I will more than likely change the colors shown here, but it will still be a nice gold/ beige color when finished.

Nonbinary, Pansexual, and Asexual Creature Pins
The results of the polls are in: The Nonbinary flag will be represented by the Tatzelwurm of Swiss mythology, and the Pansexual flag will be represented by a three headed dog (Cerbrus) of Greek mythology. Lastly, I decided for the sake of time to pick the Manticore for the Asexual Creature instead of doing another poll for itDesigns in progress!

Here's a sneak peak at the Nonbinary and Asexual designs:


New Pronoun Options
She/They and He/They Pronoun pins now available! There are now five pronoun options you'll be able to choose from at the end of the campaign: She/Her, He/Him, They/Them, and now, She/They and He/They



Undecided Flag/ Creature pin
The poll to decide which new flags will be included later in the campaign is now open! Pick your flag (or which every flag you think should be added next) and I will add the top two most popular ones to the campaign.
Don't see your flag on the list? Feel free to leave a comment either here or on the poll and I can put it in a future poll!



In other news, BackerKit has featured my project on the front page! I've never had a project featured before, and I am absolutely honored to be the featured project right in time for Pride month :)

Please continue to ask questions and suggest new things to add to the project! I read all your lovely messages and your ideas have made this campaign all the better so far! I couldn't do this without each and every one of you :)

Happy Pride Month Eve! There are lots of other LGBTQ+ artists here and on Etsy/ other eCommerce sites, and I would like to encourage all of you to support them this Pride Month, whether that's financially by pledging to their campaigns or buying things from their shops, or you can support them by engaging with them on social media. Like, comment, and share their posts, and lets spread the love in these trying times!

Its the end of Day 2 and I have some big updates to share!

First- we hit $3,300! This milestone unlocks the Nonbinary and Pansexual pins, though the designs are still in progress. I really didn't think we'd get here so fast, so please know that I will have these designs available for you to see as soon as I can.

Voting is available to decide the creatures associated with the Nonbinary and Pansexual flags! Check out the Polls section below or click on the Community Tab on the Campaign's homepage

Next: Bundles!
It was brought up in the discussion/ community tab that I should have an 'All In' bundle for people who want one of everything, and while I usually don't do these because I like to add extra stretch goals and never know just how many items I'll make before the end, I did make 4 new pledge levels so you can bundle and save!

Magpie's Collection $100:
    Comes with your choice of 5 pins, 5 stickers, 1 car magnet, and 1 lanyard. Save up to $22
King's Ransom $175:
      Comes with 10 pins, 5 stickers, 1 car magnet, and 1 lanyard. Save up to $22
Dragon's Nest $250:
     Comes with your choice of 15 pins, 10 stickers, 2 car magnets, and 2 lanyards. Save over $50! Comes with a bonus hand-drawn doodle by me
Dragon's Hoard $500:
     Choose 25 pins, 20 stickers (large and/or small), 4 car magnets, and 4 lanyards. Save over $60! Also comes with a hand-drawn doodle by me~

You'll be able to choose which pins/stickers/magnets/lanyards you want at the end of the campaign when the survey goes out. All unlocked designs will be available there, including pronoun pins.
I initially hesitated to include an 'all-in' pledge level because 3 (or more) of the pin designs will include pronoun pins, and I figured most people wouldn't want pronoun pins that they don't personally identify with. that being said, if you get any of the bundles, you will be able to choose whichever combination of Pride Creature and pronoun pins you want, so feel free to grab one for you and each of your friends!

Polls
Don't forget- there's two polls available to vote on right now!  These polls will decide which creatures will be holding the Nonbinary and Pansexual flags, so vote for your favorites! Voting closes tomorrow at 5pm.
Attached to this update is the poll for the Pansexual Creature pin- choose between a Hydra, Cerbrus, and Hippocampus, and the Nonbinary Creature poll can be found here in the community tab or attached to the previous update.

I plan on posting another poll soon (Sunday maybe?) to decide the next flag to add to this collection (after Asexual). I was planning on having you all vote between the below flags, but if you have suggestions for ones I missed, please let me know and I'll add them to the list!

Flag options for the Next Poll (After Asexual Design is Unlocked):
Gay/ MLM (the blue one)
Aromantic
Genderfluid
Queer (rainbow with black stripes on top and bottom)


tldr; The Nonbinary and Pansexual pins have been unlocked, designs coming soon. There are 4 new bundles/ Pledge Levels to pick from, and polls to decide which creatures will be associated with the Pan and Nonbinary flags (see below)

Good morning everyone!
I am so excited to announce that we've hit $3,000 already! This is the fastest I've ever had a campaign get funded, and I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the excitement you've all shown for this project!

Since we've hit this goal, there are a lot of new things unlocked, including the Pride Shield Stickers, Trans and Rainbow Dragonscale Lanyards, and BOTH the Lesbian and Bisexual Creature pins, the designs of which I haven't even finished yet! Rest assured, I am working on getting those done as soon as I can.

The poll for these pins will remain open until 3pm today, but at the moment it looks like the Lesbian flag will be represented by the Peryton or winged deer, and the Bisexual flag will be represented by the Gryphon.

New Add-Ons:
You can now add the Pride Shield stickers to your pledge! Please check you select the "small sticker" add on for them, as the "large sticker" will only count for the previously unlocked 4x2" sticker designs
Lanyards also available as add-ons! These will be $12 and only available through the add-on section. Go to my project, select 'manage my pledge', and you can add any extras you want!

New Pledge Levels:
There is now a Build Your Own Sticker Set level, which comes with two large (4x2") stickers and three small (2x2.5") stickers that you'll pick at the end of the campaign
There are also now options for 5 and 6 pin packs, each of which come with a FREE bonus sticker!

Next to unlock: Nonbinary and Pansexual Creature pins! $3,300
I don't have sketches to show you just yet (to be honest I didn't think we'd hit $3k until like, next week) but I do have two new polls up so you can vote for which creature you think best represents these communities.

The Nonbinary Pin will have the following options: Sea Serpent (sea dragon/wyrm), Manticore (lion, scorpion hybrid with horns and bat-wings), or Tatzelwurm (a cat-dragon with 6 legs)

The Pansexual Pin will have the following options: Hippocampus, Hydra (3 headed dragon), or Cerbrus (3 headed dog)

You can check out these polls in the Community tab here

Have a suggestion for the next flag or monster/ creature you'd like to see? Comment here to let me know!

We are FUNDED in under 2 hours!! I am absolutely blown away by the support you all have shown on this project and my partner campaigns this morning!

Not only did we OBLITERATE the initial funding goal in just an hour and a half, AND just reached $2,000 to unlock the Pronoun Banner Pins, but we're (at the time of writing this) only $200 away from unlocking the next goal, Pride Shield Sticker Set. Once we hit $2,200, these small stickers will be available as add-ons! Make sure you select the 'small sticker' add on for these, as the 'large stickers' are for the larger unicorn and dragon stickers unlocked with the initial goal (depicted below).

The Pronoun Banner Pins have also been unlocked! Right now there are three versions to pick from: She/Her, They/Them, and He/Him. Later in the campaign, I plan on adding She/They and He/They options as well, so keep an eye out for another update!



Next up, Pride Shield Sticker Set:
These will be 2 by 2.5" stickers, waterproof and extra durable like the others. There will be 7 designs to pick from in the survey at the end of the campaign: Transgender, Rainbow, Lesbian, Bisexual, Pansexual, Nonbinary, and Asexual



I'm still working on the Nonbinary and Asexual shields, and to be honest thought I would have another day before they were unlocked to finish them, but they will be available along side the others!

As we rapidly approach the next round of Pride Creature Pins, I've opened up voting for the next designs, which will include the Lesbian and Bisexual flags.
Check out the attached poll or go to the community page to cast your vote!

Options for Lesbain Flag include Peryton (winged deer) and Pheonix (fire-bird)
Options for Bisexual Flag include Gryphon (lion/eagle hybrid) and Hippocampus (mer-horse)



Sorry for the long update!
tldr; Thank you everyone for such a wonderful launch day! Lots of things are unlocked and even more things will be available soon
