Do you already know you want to back Gnawesome Predators? If you already have plans you might as well get a freebie! Folks following the campaign before launch will get a free mini potion magnet with their items, and if you reserve your spot before launch you will get a free Guz pin too! Together that makes a free set.

Guz is about 2.5in in size (which is a pretty big pin, try looking at a ruler to understand the scale!) and both they and the potion are very colorful! They feature some screen printed markings and are the same high quality hard enamel as the other campaign critters. If you do not know, Guz is our mascot! They are a member of an original species known as Potion Dragons, silly, slippery creatures born spontaneously from cauldrons with active brews.

If you do not reserve your spot a Guz + Potion set will still be available to purchase separately, but they are more expensive than a regular set. Special pin sets (Guz and the Cannibal Unicorn) are $45, so I highly recommend backing our amazing partner campaign for the unicorn and reserving for Guz.



A couple other fun things! The coyote pin art got updated. I woke up and hated it so I relined it completely. You know how it is! New is on the right, original on the left. Tho looking at it now I'm realizing the hind leg changed color whoops. Gotta fix that!

I'm also working on making new bag designs for Carrion Baggage: Second Bite which will be launching about a month after Pintopia ends! I've been shy about sharing designs in detail as someone has, to put it politely, taken strong, direct inspiration from the Carrion Baggage line for their own bags. To the extent that not only is calling it taking inspiration very generous, but I am also worried about someone using my shared concept art before I can. These two bags are already in prototyping and my partner manufacturers are on alert for unauthorized use of my work, so hopefully sharing this small amount is safe.

A sardine tin bag and a cracked quail egg bag! The tin has sardines printed inside and the egg has a the zipper hidden in the crack, along with a yolk drip reminiscent of the trash can bag's ooze.

Carrion Baggage: Second Bite will also have an early follower and early reserve award, so if you'd like a unique bag to display your pins on in the future I suggest following! I'll be sharing about Carrion Baggage: Eat-A Bags along the way too if that's more your thing!



Anyway! Back to Midwest Furfest prep for me. Come say hi if you attend, I will have the Second Bite prototypes with their updatde hardware and I might have my pin sizing test sheets on hand if you want a good idea of the size for the Gnawesome Predators pins!
