Pins from the Metacosm

It's my bbygirl Redd's turn!


This pin got a (very) late redesign but I'm so glad we did it! In Everdark, Redd struggles with her identity and perception of reality, due to mental illness and her world suddenly upending. The multiple faces shows this, with her tears representing her trauma. The pin melting at the bottom (and her melting into it) was meant to represent that disconnection from shared reality.

I have SO much art of Redd, so it was hard to pick just a couple to share:



Also I'll be joining a stream on 2/4 so keep an eye out for more details for that!

Here's our second in the Meet the Pins series: Angelic Heart, for Ara!


Ara is everybody's best friend, our perfect little cinnamon roll Healer. Don't take her as weak though, she has an unexpected reckless streak and, due to heavily leaning on pragmatism as a defense mechanism against her hyperempathy, she is often cool-headed and logical in times of crisis. For her pin, there's actually some easter egg spoilers to some future plot developments hidden here 👀 On the surface, it's very much what it looks like: a magical-girl-esque reference to her angelic heritage and love of all living things. The delicate gold details on this one came out so well 😍

Now for some art:




See you in a couple days with the next one!

Hey, hope everybody's having a good weekend! Because our pins are based on our characters I wanted to give you guys a little more information and show off some extra art, because I have plenty of it 👀

First of all, I have sample pin pics from the manu, so here's Chani's!


Chani is almost our mascot at this point. Her competent nature, dry wit, and rockin' bod have earned her a lot of fans. Featured in both Everdark and The Fractured Balance, Chani is a Commander of the militant, space-faring Rangers and takes both Redd and Pheonix (as well as Ara) under her wing. Don't be fooled by her gentle smile, though, her callsign in the Rangers is 'Reaper.'

Her pin features design elements that hearken back to her aperture-style pupil cybernetic implants (which implies that she Sees All, since she has her hands in so many pots in the books), the Rangers sigil, and her energy pistols Stuffy and Snuffy. My partner A says it came out a lot like a comm badge, which I can't deny but I'm not mad at it lol.

Now for the eye cand -- I mean art:




So that's Chani! I'll be sending more of these out over the coming weeks 😁

Hey everyone! N here!

Thank you for an amazing launch! We pretty quickly funded, which means I can give you a sneaky peeky about something I've had in my back pocket -- another pin design!


It doesn't have a hard and fast unlock amount just because this is our first pin campaign so I wasn't sure how we'd do. But I'll be feeding you more info as the campaign continues, so keep an eye on the updates for more 👀
