Alright, so, I was off doing the vectors for our last two stretch goals and one of you dicks just put us over the $10k threshold. Can someone go cancel it so I have another hour to work? Thanks.
Kidding. Thank you, genuinely, for getting us this far, this fast. Congrats, you guys are going to get your backer vote... we'll start going over some options for that, at the end.
As promised, here's your final artwork for the Loitering Gator and B&E Bear pins. They never even had a chance to get funny flavor text... shame. This is for all you people, paying bail for criminals you don't even know. For shame.
These two massive miscreants are some of my favorites, and their guilt is debatable. I hope you like them: these are big ones for my zookeeper and wildlife worker customers, and they're probably two of the most misunderstood captives you'll see in certain parts of the country.
Hey, remember how all 3 CREATE A CRIMINAL tiers sold out in under 6 hours? Well, their backers have been extremely helpful, communicative, and helped me put together sketches for their chosen tributes. Sorry their artwork isn't final yet, but the sketches are approved.
Thanks to your fellow backers, I'd like to introduce...
"Ken, what the hell is that? I thought you said only real animals! I want a refund!" When did you ever know me to have integrity around money? Drawing this safe-for-work serpent is the easiest $250 I can make without taking my clothes off.
These three pins are brought to you by backers who share a sense of humor with me. I genuinely really like them, and I'm proud of these three for coming up with these choices. While this stinky skunk, this infrastructure-digging iguana, and this pyromaniac reptile are by, and for, their creators, they're not just for them: all of these pins will be options for you, too!
I have to ruin the incredible milestone with some news you guys may not totally like: Other than our 10k vote, I will probably not be adding more stretch goals.
I'm sorry if that disappoints some people. The scale of this campaign is already huge, and hitting all planned pins after just a day is going to leave me with a lot of work. With all of the CRITTER CRIMES pins, as well as BIRD CRIMES restocks and PRIDE PARROTS, I don't want to overstretch myself.
Barring a couple critters I know will sell (which I might just make, regardless of vote results), this is where CRITTER CRIMES will end. However, I don't plan on the fun ending. We've still got two weeks to go, after all...
I'd like to do some giveaways, backer games, and maybe a few more fun addon products. Do you guys have ideas? Small print cards, maybe? A sticker sheet of all the CRIMES, but small? Let me know what's on your mind, below.
I'm going to do some sleuthing and find out how to thank you guys, properly, for such a fast funding. We're talking a possible full set of CRIMES pins... but, I gotta lock it behind something real serious.
Due to "discretion" (profit) I will probably add an Indecent exposure Hyena because I am not throwing away free money from furry cons. Please do not suggest the hyena.
