Tokii and I thank you all for your support on another successful campaign. The funding period of Infernal Invasions has ended, and we're planning to have surveys sent out before the weekend is over!

We would love to hear your thoughts about what you enjoyed the most about it! The weekly themed updates leading up to the campaign, and the competitions we held were something new to us and we want to know how you guys think it can be improved or if you have any suggestions regarding backer immersion or interaction!

Now, without further ado, we have a cat to talk about ;>

Congratulations to CorvidKid as well! thank you for sharing Inara with us, we're honored to have made a design of her. You will get a free Inara minipin added to your order after the campaign has ended! Thank you and everyone who contributed to this project!

Stay adventurous,
- Jacob and Tokii

We're now at the last leg of the Cat Competition journey; We've had a lot of fun with this event and think it's the perfect send-off for the final days of the Infernal Invasions funding period. Thank you to everyone who participated in this and the other competitions we've held during this campaign, it wouldn't have been nearly as fun without you guys :3

I did say that we would only do the top three cats from the last poll in this section of the competition, but there was a tie. Heavens forbid that I have to pick a favorite, that's your guy's job! So we've included an additional fourth choice for you to stew over ;>

(bear in mind that all of these designs are still rough drafts and the final design will be more polished)

- Enver is a polydactyl kitten adopted from a shelter. Once he’d been brought home he quickly could not be contained, making his claim over the entire house as opposed to his private room. Quite invasive, but oh how cute!
- Ie is a cat with a demand for things to be done how she sees fit. Besides being trained to do tricks like sit and stay, her owner reports that she has so little prey drive that she’d rather watch mice eat dog kibble than give chase.
- Inara was a strange little critter who enjoyed to munch on leaves, plastic, bread loaves, and particularly gold fish crackers. The one time she’d accidentally gotten outside she screamed until her owners were alerted and she was returned back inside.
- Tara is an ex-street cat who acts as if she’s always been indoors. She prefers to eat in the company of her owner, and is even reported to have smushed a Spotted Lanternfly! She’s either territorial of other invaders, or maybe she’s switching teams ;>

The owner of the Winning Cat will receive a free Domestic Cat Mini Pin added to their order once the campaign has ended.

Hello Exorcists,

Tokii popping in! Hope everyone has been enjoying this event :>
As you know- this is the Pintober an annual event. It's hosted by a group called Pin Forge! 
Pin Forge is a tight knit community of artists, together we help build each other, do critiques and share advice and ideas. 

Sometimes we team up, or partner for projects.

I was able to star as a guest artist to make a Ghost Kitty pin for Grind3h! If you're interested in one of your own make sure to check them out ^o^

Sometimes we do charity during our events as well :>
Here are some projects in this year's PIntober event that are doing charities!

------
This is Pin Forge's creator, Wayward Enigma Designs- and also the person who helped me start up our journey in crowdfunding and pin making! Tokii senpai!
In their project they are donating to their local Animal Protection League where they volunteer.



This is Winterra our partner for PIntober, an amazing artist with non-stop endurance for creating and convention going. They'll be donating to In-Sync Exotics Wild Cat Sanctuary! A Wildlife Sanctuary that they use to volunteer at.


And if you didn't already know- we are as well! We'll be donating to NAISMA the North American Invasive Species Association at the end of the campaign. Helping curb invasive species is important fight to me personally, from being born in the Philippines and living in Hawaii, as an Islander it was a common sight to see native species you've grown up with, just disappear over time. Seeing ecosystems slowly collapse from non-native creatures, the silence of jungles once plentiful, shorelines barren, to the fruits and plants you're use to dwindle over the years, only being replaced. Thank you guys for helping this movement come to life! I hope with spread education and our donations, we can bring some awareness while having fun.


Stay Adventerous,
Tokii and Jacob

Greetings Exorcist,

The work has been done swiftly and precisely. Thanks to the new wave of enforcements and federal funds, the DSEU has been successful in our retaliation to the Infernal Invasion. While much is still to be learned of our enemy they have begun their retreat, and it seems the war is won.

At least for now.

While the exorcism has been completed, the species that were intercepted by these demons are still at large with even more plant and animal options to choose from should our fiendish foes ever return. We must remain vigilant and ready, because until all the invasive species of earth have been dealt with, then there will always be the threat of another attack.

Until then, exorcist.
Keep up the good work.


Hello Backerkit, and thank you for the love you've shown for this campaign! Tokii and I are happy to have captured your attention with it's theme and message and interested you with it's artwork. Because of all your support, we're excited to announce that every design has been fully funded and will be available to order by the end of this campaign!

Now, for those of you with a keen eye, you may have noticed that one of the minipins has yet to have it's final design announced... Well, we've got one last competition that we'd love for you guys to participate in...
