Warped Ocean

Hi everyone!

I've finally finished drawing up the Octopus pins! 🥳
Here's our little eye-ful buddy:

Now that I've finished the main set of pin designs, here's a first look at the full gold and rainbow-plated sets for the campaign:

There will probably be some minor changes before production because I know some of the cut-outs on these are going to be too small so they'll have to be recessed metal, but apart from making adjustments for that these are the final mock-ups!

If I get time I might sketch up one more big pin or a couple more mini pins but I probably shouldn't add anything else unless funding goes magically well. 🙈
I've been thinking of doing a big turtle or moa moa, and a little stingray and coral. Maybe I'll draw them up anyway for stickers at least lol. 🤔

Now that you can see them all together which is your favourite set: gold-plated or rainbow-plated?

Hi everyone,

Today I have a new main pin for Warped Ocean to share with you...the Mandarinfish! XD
This little fish turned out to be a bit of a pain to draw but I'm really happy with how the details turned out in the end.

Here's the gold version of this 2" pin, which will be hard-enamel with a layer of blue screenprint:


And here's the rainbow-plated version:


Which one do you like best?

I've also finally made a start on the Octopus pin design lol! :D
Here's a WIP:

We're only a week and a half away from launch day now and I'm so excited! I'm hoping to get one more pin done, as well as the sticker versions, and sketch up some of the print versions before then so I'd better get cracking!

Have a great weekend everyone,

Abi

P.S: Thank you for the very validating poll results so far! 😂

Hi everyone!

I've now got two mini pins for the campaign and both will be 1" wide; the starfish in the poll-winning purple and pink:

Aaaand a BRAIN CORAL inspired pin in gold-and-green and rainbow-and-blue:

Brain corals are so delightfully weird already that they were just begging to have creepy eyes added to them right!?

I also feel a great desire to POKE one sooo I think I'm gonna make a lil plush badge of this guy too, like this:

Aaaand I got a bit carried away and turned him into a repeat pattern too! 😂



I haven't decided what I'm doing with that yet lol! 🤔 A friend mentioned it reminds them more of germs under a microscope than brain coral at this point! 😂

I can at least make it a desktop/phone background download if any of you would like to have one? 
Let me know what you think of my weird lil guys!? 😁

All the best,

Abi

Hi everyone!

Today I'm sharing the first of the mini pins I've been working on for the campaign: the Starfish! :D

It'll be 1.25" wide I think, but I'm undecided on which colour-way I want to use; both for metal and enamel colours, so I'm polling you folks again!

Which of these four colour-ways is your favourite?

Hopefully I can add a second one as a later stretch goal if the campaign goes well, but I need to decide which one to start with so help me out folks!

All the best,

Abi

Hi everyone!

I'm checking in before the new year to share the sticker version of the Crab, Lobster and Oarfish that I finished up recently! They'll be matt vinyl with holographic eyes! :D


I had a lot of fun with the colours so I hope you like them!?

I'm currently working on a couple of mini pins I started on a whim and then I'm going to working on a big Octopus pin since that's winning the poll by a mile at the moment! Lots more fun and colourful things to share with you before launch day! ;D

Happy New Year folks!

Abi
