We've made it!

What's next?

Once again, thank you to each and every single one of you guys - from the bottom of my heart.

I can't wait to see these designs come to life!!

❤️ -

In our last update, I mentioned Dissonance would be the last of the Calamity I would design - however, while I was going through a drawing file, I happened across a sketched piece that ended up being forgotten until yesterday.

For funsies, here is the step by step process of creating Dredge:


I don't remember what my thought was in the initial sketch. I was partly distracted in Germany, while trying to generate ideas to work with. I didn't pursue it any further at the time since I couldn't develop any ideas or inspiration beyond what I had sketched until I discovered him again. From the first sketch, which resembled more of a moray eel, I changed him to look more in tune with a snake: the horned viper was the inspiration for this piece.

I think the serpent concept finally resonated with me because I was watching youtube shorts of burrowing snakes and thought they were the cutest things - so Dredge became his name.

Why?

Disciple of Dirge, Dredge coils through the fading light of dying souls, unseen and unspoken. He cuts not, but loosens binding threads; where sorrow festers and memory binds like thorns, he slips through the mind like mist through cracks, unweaving the burdens too heavy to carry beyond the veil. Regret, shame, fear—these he lifts, strand by strand, leaving only silence, only peace.

As my update title also promises: 

Iron On Patches - something a few of you guys had asked about and I thought what I ended up designing was a pretty cool concept:

To further go into detail with the patches: they will be best adhered onto apparel such as shirts, jeans, and hats. They'll be woven patches, instead of the traditional embroidered, to give a smoother and more detailed finish. They'll also have a locked edge, which means the red border will wrap around the edge to help maintain the integrity of the piece. It also just gives it a more polished look, too.

Hello, hello -

We have just 4 more days to go until the campaign comes to a close.
A quick thank you to everyone who has pledged, followed, and shared the campaign. It wouldn't have been successful if it wasn't for you guys.

As you can tell from the title, we have one final design reveal for this Yakudoshi campaign: The Clamor of Dissonance-

Dissonance dwells where no light touches-behind crumbling stone, between roots, and within forgotten halls where silence lingers. A sentry born of stillness and echo: he guards not with blade, but through the sense of every shift in sound. He protects the unseen and the unheard-the breath before a cry, the step before danger, the voice trembling with truth. When balance falters or secrets stir, it is he who hears and answers from the dark.

Hello from the land of the Americas,

I want to go back to Germany, though! Not quite ready to be back home, but alas, work must continue.
That being said, here is the official post for Discord and its lore:

Its name is more than legend. It is invocation. A ward against submission. A whisper of rebellion when the weight of tradition grows too heavy. Those who speak its name aloud in unjust halls may find the courage to stand. Those who etch its sigils into hidden corners might find cracks forming in once-unbreakable walls.

Once, again, thank you to Cthulhu for the the needed inspirational spark.

New Merch/Add-On Alert!
I wanted to add more designs, but with the loss of my iPad (RIP :'( ), I'm unable to do much until I make a purchase for a new machine. A big thanks to my friend who let me borrow his iPad while I was in Germany so I was able to get some sketches and brainstorming finished.
