Latest Updates from Our Project:

Surveys, and Patch backing
5 months ago – Wed, Feb 25, 2026 at 07:29:45 AM

Hi everyone,

I'm doing a quick update today as I've had a few questions about the Surveys and Preorder store.

I've been holding off on launching both for an extra few days as I'm still working out the best way to produce the Oarfish, Octopus and Mandarinfish pins (I may still need to increase the size of those designs and I want to make sure the Survey and Preorder Store have the accurate information on them all).

As soon as I've got that sorted I'll launch both, which I'm hoping will be by Monday at the latest.

In the meantime I'd love your feedback on the embroidered patch: which backing do you prefer for your patches; sew-on or iron-on?
I've attached a poll below so you can vote on it! :D

Here's another look at the most recent sample of the patch:


I'll keep you all up to date on production!
All the best,

Abi

Thank you! And WIP! :D

Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for all your support for Warped Ocean. I'm really excited to be making the whole collection of pins, filler pins, prints, stickers and patch and lanyards for you all! :D

Here are alll the unlocked enamel pins:


I'm in the process of prepping the order with my enamel pin manufacturer. 
This week I've been making some reaaaaally tiny adjustments to the Octopus, Oarfish and Mandarinfish pins. It seems I finally flew too close to the sun on details and needed to adjust a bunch of areas to get them the size I want them.
The manu very kindly marked all the tiny area that are too small to fill with little coloured dots so I could make the design adjustments. Here's what they sent me:


And here's how the outlines look now that I've made those adjustments:

The only noticeable change really is that I had to redraw the Mandarinfish's translucent fin to have less lines, but I don't think it effects the design much.
I may still need to adjust the Mandarinfish to be 2.5" instead of 2" to keep all the details clear. 
I'll update you folks again once I've got proofs approved and ready to go! Surveys will be going out Monday! :D

All the best,

Abi

Hi everyone,

Another quick update today to share with you the sticker and print versions of the Blue Glaucus Nudibranch that I finished this week! :D
Both can now be selected as Add-Ons. Prints can also be selected as base Pledge Tiers now.
Here's the sticker version:

It will have holographic eyes! :D

And here's the A4 print version:


What do you think!? :D
I hope you like them!

All the best,

New Pin Sketch! :D

Hey folks!

It looks like the nudibranch is definitely going to win the poll so I went ahead and did a little sketch tonight! :D


What do you think of my design so far?

Here's how it will size up to the rest of the collection (it'll be 2" wide like the Mandarinfish, Octopus and Oarfish:
