Latest Updates from Our Project:

Derpy & Sussie Pin Added! + Final Hours for Phainon
4 months ago – Wed, Feb 04, 2026 at 10:22:42 AM


Hey everyone!!!

I finished up the backer voted pin! Meet Derpy and Sussie! They will be a 2” normal pin, black plating!

For the pins that didn’t win the poll (like the forest spirit) I’ll try my best to have them done for the reward survey. The forest spirit is a lot more detailed than the other 3 choices so I cant make any promises but I’ll do my absolute best to make sure I have available to unlock on the survey. If the forest spirit does not make it to the survey I promise it’ll appear whenever I next do media monsters 3!

How did yall like the double poll system? I worry it was a bit confusing, but until Backerkit implements a multi choice selection poll this is the best way to let everyone’s vote matter. If we left it to the one poll Neopets would’ve won by a decent margin. It was almost last place on the 2nd poll. (I do hope to be able to finish a Neopet or two for the survey though since they’re all a pretty simple design… and yall may have made me log back into my Neopets account and feed my pets for the first time in 1.5 years)



Finally! For those of you interested in HSR, the Phainon campaign only has a day and a half left! This one is a single pin passion project of mine I’ve been wanting to do for a while now! There will be a shipping credit on this campaign for folk who order the Phainon pin!

I appreciate all y’all’s support and I look forward to continuing to bring yall along the design process and continue to keep making the pins y’all want to see most! Plus yall keep me young with suggestions like Vicar.

If you want more behind the scenes, to just chat with me, or to otherwise watch me suffer in real time, please come hang out on my discord

I also tend to bounce ideas off the folk in my discord when prepping for campaigns and I often take inspiration for future projects from them. Like some requested I do cryptids and it’s changed my biblically accurate animals campaign into biblically accurate animals & cryptids for next years Pintopia. 

I probably won’t be posting another update until after the campaign closes as I am going to try to take this week off and then get to work making the pins for the survey but know I couldn’t have done any of this without yall and I cannot wait to bring these pins to life!

Media Monsters - Finalist Poll!!
4 months ago – Wed, Jan 28, 2026 at 11:06:15 PM

Hey everyone!

It’s time for the final poll! The poll closes on Sunday at 1pm. 

I’ll begin work as soon as I’m able to after my colonoscopy next week! So expect the final monster to arrive sometime before or around next Sunday! I’ll also try my best to get at least 1 of the other finalists done for the reward survey! Maybe 2 or 3 if I have the time!

Final Media Monster Poll + New Kacheek Paintbrush Colors!
4 months ago – Sun, Jan 25, 2026 at 04:08:35 PM

Hey everyone!

Thank you all so so much! I wanted to add a couple new pins for everyone some we well blew past our goal! So meet the Eveningtide and cloud Kacheek! 

These pins are available under the small pin category. If you back for the complete set the price didn’t go up. These are 2 freebies for that tier 💕 for the other tiers, I made a new tier to account for the 2 extra small pins. 

Also! The final media monster pin poll is up! It’ll be live until Wednesday and then I’ll create the next poll to determine the final winner! 

Expect the backer voted pin to be done in about 2 weeks! It’s going to take a bit longer than normal because my autoimmune stuff has been acting up really badly recently (on account of me developing a bad reaction to my last med in August and still trying to find a new good one), I will be flying to see my grandpa for the first time in like a decade to reconnect on Wednesday, and then I have a colonoscopy that following week (yay…?) So I hope the Kacheek can tide you all over until then!! 💕 I also have plans for 2 more Kacheek paintbrush colors for the reward survey.

Thank you all again. I’ll sound like a broken record all campaign but thank you. 

Pay Over Time Enabled + Monster Suggestuons!
4 months ago – Fri, Jan 23, 2026 at 09:31:17 AM

Hey everyone!

I once again forgot to enable pay over time 😅 it’s now enabled!

In addition! I wanted to post another update asking for monster suggestions as the one yesterday could’ve been lost to the mountain of Pintopia emails haha


Anything goes! Because Backerkit only allows one choice answers I will be only picking one monster from each franchise so they don’t dilute each other and running 2 polls! The first to select the top 5 and the next to determine who gets drawn! I’ll make the first Poll on Monday so get your suggestions in <3

Thank you all again so, so, so much. I’ll be a broken record about it all day but truly you all have changed my life and I look forward to getting all these pins made! 

See you on Monday!

Monster Requests Open - Fully Funded!!!
4 months ago – Thu, Jan 22, 2026 at 01:55:54 PM


Hey everyone!!!

I waited a bit on this update to try and let everyone cool down from the email spam fest lol! I hope this is long enough.

Thank you all so much again for blowing the funding goals out of the water! You have no idea how much this always means to me. Sometimes I feel like a broken record but everytime I do a campaign I can’t help but be reminded at how wonderful everyone is. So I wanted to thank y’all again. So much. From the absolute bottom of my heart.

Now! For those of you who are new here, I always do a backer voted pin so that way y’all get to be apart of the process and help decide which pins get made. It’s more fun this way and y’all keep me on my toes. 

As such, I wanted to open the comment section for y’all to suggest which monster gets made for the last pin! There may be some suggestions I leave out of the poll - for example, if multiple options from the same IP are suggested I’ll probably pick one of them so that way votes are diluted. (Backerkit only allows 1 answer polls TT) or if it’s from an IP that’s a bit scary (cough cough the big mouse) 

I’m thinking this time I’ll do 2 rounds of polls. The first to get the top 5 and then I’ll re-poll so that way people can shift their votes to the top options and no one feels like they’re wasting their vote.

Until then I attached a practice poll below!

Thank you guys so so so much again! Your support means so much and quite genuinely saved my life 2 years ago. I look forward to continuing to make pins for everyone moving into 2026!
