Circus Sweeties - Series 2

Hey, Cookie Crew!!

I have some prototype updates for everyone! We will start with Jeanie Jam! She still doesn't have her earrings for some reason, but they did source some glasses! This is probably the best we can hope for that isn't felt or embroidered on to the face.

IMPORTANT: The fabric looks desaturated in this photo, but I have seen this fur in person and it is more saturated than this. I will not be changing it, as I like the dusty kind of faded but still saturated appearance of this fabric for Jeanie Jam.
 

Here are my redlines for her so far:





Next up, we have Raina! I had asked for a few changes, including that we try and show Raina's smile from the front, but it doesn't quite look right to me. In fact, I've been looking at the original profile too, and it started to not look right either. I'm asking if we can resample the head a bit!

I also wanted to see her with ear tufts, and I don't hate it. She is also missing her tail still, but I promise she is supposed to have one haha. 

Not only that, I'm not a huge fan of her second horn being a different material than her big horn, so I might ask for them to remove it altogether. 😭

Here is my redline for the next sample!


IMPORTANT NOTE: She is supposed to have a tail, and I expect we will see her with one in the next sample!



We also got an updated Mimi Mouse sample! We are definitely a lot closer. I think by the third sample, she will be done!

There wasn't a lot that needed to be done, but here were my redlines for the designer!





So, yeah! That's all for samples right now! I hope everyone is excited as I am to see the next version of these three.

Hey, Cookie Crew!!

We still don't have any prototype updates at the moment, much to my surprise. I'm really excited to see our camel, too!!! Soon, I imagine...

I still wanted to update with something, and one thing I wanted to do was to provide a print of Jeanie and Dotty, so here is a WIP! Dotty is kind of scared of everything at first, buy Gramma Jeanie is always there to reassure her, and I really wanted to showcase that.



What do y'all think? Print?? Sticker?? I'm open to suggestions for this illustration!!

I was also working on an illustration of Millie and London for pride month, but art has been giving me the business... I know I'll get it done, though!! London loves to make Millie aprons. He probably has so many, but he surely loves every single one! Millie is always impressed with London's craftsmanship. The embroidery is always top notch and oh so cute.



Anyway, I hope some silly, unfinished illustrations helps make the wait for prototype updates feel a little less stale ahaha. I really appreciate everyone!! I'm so excited to get to future series and concepts.

I have so many ideas my head is exploding at all times. I really hate how time consuming the manufacturing process is ahaha. I don't think I can get to every concept I have before I die at this rate!!!

ahh I'm rambling, though. Seriously, thank you to everyone!! It's so amazing to find an audience that is willing to not only back a project on mere concept, but to wait patiently to see it in person. 😭🩷💕💗

As always, if you have any questions or concerns my email is [email protected]. I do my best to respond quickly, but sometimes it takes me a day or two, so I apologize in advance. I try to stay out of my email on weekends, as well, just so my head isn't full of work stuff and I can enjoy my family. Thank you!!!

UPDATED: Added a poll for our fennec fox, because I'm struggling out here. 🥹
