Warped Ocean

Hi folks!

I wanteed to get one more update in before I go away for the holidays, so today I'm sharing the Oarfish pin designs that are now finished! XD

Here's the gold version:

And here's the rainbow-plated version:


So I now have 3/6 designs in two colour-sets ready for the launch in January!

As per the poll from my last update I'm going to be sketching ideas for an Octopus pin next! :D
I hope you'll look forward to seeing me work on the rest of the collection.

Happy Holidays everyone!

All the best,

Abi

Hi everyone,

Today I'm sharing with you the finished design/s from my Lobster sketch! I enjoyed designing the patterns I used on the shell for this one. :D

Here's the gold-plated pin version:

And here's the rainbow-plated version:

I've currently working on finishing off the designs for the Oarfish, but what ocean critter would you like to see me draw next?

You can vote in the poll below and/or comment with suggesstions for me! :D

Hello and welcome everyone!
I'm excited to introduce you to my next project: Warped Oceans! :D

Warped Oceans will launch as part of Pintopia 2026 in late January!
For this campaign I am drawing up a series of creatures from the ocean depths, each a little warped and weird...a few too many eyes.
You may have already seen my first three sketches as I've added them to the banner for this project but here are the Crab, Lobster and Oarfish sketches in full:

I'm planning to make the Lobster and Crab 2.5" and the Oarfish 2". I'm going to design another three pins to make up the set, as well as a mini pin freebie for anyone who backs both my project and my cross-collab partner PhaseMoth's Distorted Crypids campaign.

Follow my Warped Oceans project and you'll get updates from me as I develop the rest of the collection of pins, as well as the add-on stickers, prints and more that I'm planning to include! :D

This week I've been working on developing some of these to finals so I'm excited to share with you the finished design for the first pin! I've created two colour-ways: gold-plated and rainbow-plated. Here's the gold version of the Crab:



And here's the rainbow-plated version:



I'd love to know which one is your favourite? :D You can vote in the poll below!
I'll be back in a few days to share more of my design progress.

All the best,

Abi
