Poke-Aquariums

Hey there! I am indeed alive apologies for the delay.... I have a sketch for roughly what I said I wanted to get up for by Tuesday done. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS NOT A FINAL PRODUCT!

So the goal is to have Pikachu surfing up and down.... I am trying to get some of the rough ideas down right now... but I do intend to finish it this week assuming all goes well. So it should be done IDEALLY by Sunday... Animation takes time lol. The colors are not necessarily final either.... I do intend to mess with it a bit... just usually my stuff is desaturated until I get to finishing the render. I normally don't show WIP but figure this might be vaguely interesting to see!

Apologies for the horrid hand writing lol I am a product of the keyboard generation.

I have it listed in the pledges if your interested but totally understand if you wanna wait for the final product to be shown. I'll have it in gif format like the Politoed x Pikmin one when I am done! Since we lowkey hit all the goals I am just gonna have it up immediately since y'all have been so great to me! ❤️

 Hey there! First off, thank you ALL so, so much for the overwhelming support I truly appreciate everything!!!! You’re going to help me so much in bringing the Poke-Aquariums to life! I have some future plans and projects that I’ll be posting about after fulfillment of this campaign. I am so lucky to have you all ❤️

Okay, down to business! Since I didn’t plan on blowing past all of the stretch goals so fast… lol, good problem to have! I’ve been scrambling to figure out WHAT IS NEXT… so I put up a poll, and it looks like we’ve landed on Surfing Pikachu as the next design! 

I already have some good ideas for that. Many of you supporting me and my collab partner will be getting the Polaroid Politoed x Pikmin pin, along with some fun insight into how I make my pins. Typically, I design them with a base that I can swap out. This helps me adjust inventory based on demand and keep prices reasonable regardless of a design’s popularity. 
 
With that in mind, I’m thinking of using the 2.5" Polaroid as the base for the Surfing Pikachu pin and then animating it. Since I’m apparently the “lenticular guy” now lol, I might as well put my animation major to use haha. 

I’ll be adding it as an add-on at $15, and we’ll see where things go from there! This will likely be my last pin for this project due to time. Honestly, I’d do every suggestion if I could, but don’t worry, I fully plan to keep making more poke-projects. Maybe something spooky is on the way for October 👀 

So collect them all while you can 😉 

THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH! I truly truly truly appreciate it! Your gonna help me bring some of the coolest things to life! Super pumped to share more details with y'all! I'll be posting further updates when I am done running around my room with excitement! lol

So as this is my first project I have no idea what to expect but I really really am excited to bring this to life! If we meet all of our goals I will definitely add more designs and take recommendations from the community if we wanna add more poke fishbags or more poke item related designs that I missed! 🐟 (Was thinking like the fishing rods as a dangle pin or a diver pikachu) 🐟 If you have any recommendations PLEASE let me know I love having creative back and forth wargaming ideas! Its super fun helps fill in any blind spots I may have as a fan! 

If you could share this with any of your friends that love pokemon or anything like this it would really mean the world!
