Snughouls Series 3

The notdeer is (almost) done!! I've made some tiny edits to these photos to reflect the final changes (they used the wrong nose shape mainly), but the actual plush will look pretty much exactly like this!

I love them and their creepy aura, and can't wait to start on the watchful notdeer next  🥹



We're also less than 2k away from the Jersey Devil now, yippee!! 

I've been a bit under the weather over the weekend, but I'm sitting on a lot of new ideas for illustrations and hope to get back to drawing/sharing more concepts with everyone shortly 💖 Our 2000 backer reward sample should also be finished and delivered later this week (currently being printed and packed!) so we have some fun GIFs to look forward to in the next several days.

See you in the next update, critters!

Critters!! I received the final Nessie photos last night! This sample should be on the way home to me soon so I can get some better photos and flop them around like the adorable water puppy they are 🙏



I also heard your feedback in the last update, and have some new notdeer merch to share! This will be available as a keychain, sticker and pin (excluding the background). I adore how this weird lil guy turned out, and should have a plush version to share tomorrow as an added bonus! 🦌🔦



And remember, we're only 4k away from unlocking the Jersey Devil!! Let's get this critter unlocked so they can officially join the snughoul fam 💖

We're so close to the Jersey Devil unlock, critters!! Just a little over 5k to go now 🎉🎉🎉

To celebrate, I have a very appropriate new addition to the enamel pin, keychain, and sticker selection. This rockin' JD will now be available as all three when you receive your survey after the campaign ends.



Who else would you like to see as a cute, collectible accessory? 👀 I'm thinking maybe the capricorn or loch ness monster next!

Happy Tuesday, critters!!

I have two exciting reveals for you today (and I should have even more tomorrow 👀). First up is the first mini sample! Gutsy is looking soooo good, we just need to dial in the size of limbs and the position of the eyes-- the other changes are especially minor and should be fixed with the next revision.
 
Judging by this sample and the changes we're making, it's likely the final mini size will be closer to 10" which I'm also pretty stoked about! The floppier, the better with these guys. The limbs are almost entirely filled with beans for some excellent, weighted wiggles too and I can't wait to hold one in person 💖

Aren't the 3D eyes just the cutest thing ever?  🥹 And lookit that itty bitty nose!
 

I also dug deep and discovered the belly badge for our next unlock, the Jersey Devil! This might be one of my favorite belly badges to date, and I hope my fellow Jersey Devil enjoyers like it too. (Need to draw JD rockin' out and add it to our keychain selection next 👀)



We're only 8k away from unlocking this critter now! Let's power through and add them to the lineup this week 💪

And lastly PLEASE NOTE, I'm behind on updating the Design a Snughoul submissions and I have NOT missed you. Once I've added everyone to the drive folder, I'll announce it via backerkit so you can check for your entry and shoot me a message if it's missing! 🙏

Thank you guys so much! Let's hope tomorrow I have even more exciting reveals to share, aaaa! 

Way to go, critters! The frogman and mini nessie are officially UNLOCKED! We're now also only 10k away from unlocking the jersey devil and I'm sure it won't take long 💖
 


In the absence of any new sample updates, I wanted to share some gifs and pictures of existing samples! It's so hard to convey how incredible S3 'ghouls feel with their weighted paws in still photos alone. The wiggles™️are perfection and I know everyone will agree once they have their new friends in hand. 

I also took this quick comparison photo between Big Bites and standard Bites-a-Lot to further illustrate how GIANT the giant 'ghouls are!

Manifesting those new sample photos now 🙏🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️🙏🕯️ (comment with a candle to join the summoning circle LOL)

My guess is my supplier is a bit swamped after being on holiday for a whole week, but as soon as they share the new photos with me, I'll be sure to share them with you guys!

If you would like to see other development-related things in the meantime, remember you can also join the discord here. I frequently share behind the scenes noodling like sketches and graphic design WIPs, along with random new merch ideas and pretty much whatever pops into my head!
