Elemental Wings - Dragon Plushies

WOW making another update because, omg, we are nearly at the end of the original planned goals??? This was way faster than I ever thought, so I will have to rush some voting for more goals! Since I do have to rush the votes, they will be on one day timers, so I apologize if anyone will miss the polls! But if funding continues like this I’m pretty confident a lot of the goals everyone wants are possible!

The first poll seems to have new color ways as the next few goals priority! ( even though I have so many planned designs, I will make five color ways get unlocked then make another poll to determine the next few goals!)
For self indulgent purposes, my OC starburst will be the first color way 👉👈

At the bottom, there will be a list of the pre made designs, there will be a tournament system to get the top 5, then the order of the top 5! There will be 5 polls of 4 designs each poll!

For addressing other questions and feedback I’ve gotten from a few people, so everyone can get the info without needing to read the other comments:

- the weird issue with the back legs; I completely understand the weirdness of them looking broken! The splayed out feet were a stylistic choice, like they were doing the splits, but it turned out a bit weird in the samples. I will be having my manufacturer spread the legs more and rotate them more forward to make them look less broken, BUT I will not be changing the toes being up rather than down, for my own style purposes! I hope that doesn’t disappoint anyone in either direction!

- I will be trying to make a discord server for everyone who wanted a place to keep up to date with my plushies and talk about them with each other! It may be a while because I still need to find a capable and available mod!

- in the next possible goal poll after the first 5 color ways, I will be adding keychain sized and jumbo sized variants to the possible stretch goals!

Here are the color ways I have pre designed! They are all my OCs or my original designs because I just had too many color scheme ideas!
There will be 5 polls in the community tab since I can only attach one to this update, so good luck and may the tournament begin :p

😦we are already almost to the end of the original lineup of planned stretch goals???? That was truly the most shock and awe I've had in a while just staring at the funding climb all day ???? An unbelievably huge thank you to everyone who was just as excited about my art being made as I am! Just so amazing! 🥹

That being said, it means stretch goals past the base 10 are now going to be up for voting! First poll I want to know exactly which idea should be up first! 
- I have 20 colorways already designed (2 color variant for each base species!) which also includes hybrids 
- an idea of smaller (12inch) varieties themed after fruits 
- other merch like enamel pins, more keychain varieties, accessories, stationary or maybe even blanket?

Other ideas welcome! Feel free to comment!

Sorry to those who were waiting for the 8am launch time, I ended up launching it at 9:30 oops :p

I'm in shock that we have already almost reached the third dragon (night) in only 1.5 hours :0 
I'm very confident all the species can be unlocked very fast! (Rip my front door when delivery happens for all of these lovelies) 
depending on where funding ends up tonight, I might have to do a poll for more stretch goals already?? 0.0
I have plenty of new color ways and hybrid dragons in the waiting already so there won't be a wait for me to finish designs before the polls >:]

I'm so thankful to everyone who has been supporting me and has been helping me get closer to my dreams to become a full time plush designer! I can't believe I've already made it this far!

For my other plush campaign, gummy wyrms, the preorder store is being worked on now, so for those who missed that one, the preorders will be available to you soon!

Heya! So, in development with the butterfly dragon sample, there's a dilemma I am having with the body color accuracy, and I would love everyone's opinion to make sure you guys get the plush exactly how you want!

so in my original turn around design for the butterfly dragon, i designed it with a blue head to greenish blue tail gradient, which IS possible for the plush to be made that way.. BUT the custom color printing my manufacturer offers impacts the softness of the fabric. it isnt a horrible change in softness but it is quite noticable and it would be a different texture than the rest of the colors on the plush (such as the back scales).
this same issue also goes for the forest dragon and the under sides of most of the wings of each dragon.

so my question is: what would you guys want me to prioritize in these plushies, (which will apply to the other designs and other future dragons i would potentially design for this campaign)? plush softness or the color/design accuracy of the plushies?

i will still keep the printing method on the wings, as the cool colors on them are pretty important to the designs! as i said earlier though, its not that the change is not soft, they arent optimally soft! so this question just applies to the body or other parts not the wings!

in the background, ive been having edits done to different editions of the samples, and i want to make another update to show you all! they are so close to being done! just one more edition away from final! 

this one just needs some embroidery fixes on the face!

this one just needs some fabric color edits!

we are a month away from launch!!! <3
