First and foremost I have to say-- this was the hardest thing I've had to do in awhile. I totally underestimated 1) how many entries there would be and 2) how much heart each and every one of you put into your designs!

That said there is absolutely no way I could pick just one winner which is why I'll be picking five (even that is going to be INCREDIBLY challenging because there are far more than five entries that resonated with me for some reason or another 😭).

In addition to those five, there will be three honorable mentions who will receive a mini-plush (or something of equivalent value) of their choice!

(Winners feel free to comment or shoot me an email at [email protected] with what plushie you would like, and I'll add them to your account when the pledge manager opens later his month!💖)

1) Phantasmagoric - Odd Ends Were



2) Mothgentleman - Trygve Troll



3) Chamdoodle - Kappa Were



4) Wave J. - Poison Candy Apple Carewere



5) Mscreated - The Stargoyle

Gh0st0ken - Candle Wick



Kro - Lionheart Manticore



Deerydeer - Lake Monster



Thank you all SO much for all the amazing entries. It was absolutely the highlight of my day going through them all and seeing what you created!

As if you needed anymore reason to be excited, everyone will be receiving some additional free stickers generously designed by Charmsey! This was actually an achievement we blasted through some 2500 backers ago, but I forgot to make a post about it 😂



Charmsey is an amazing artist and also my best friend, so I highly recommend you check her work out. In addition to stickers, she's also been contributing some future carewere sketches and ideas that I think you guys will enjoy quite a bit. Here's a sneak peek at one of them! 😜



You can find her on twitter(@charmseyart) and instagram(@charmseyart)!!

We're so close to the finish line its a little surreal. Lets rally one more time and hit our last stretch goal! 💖
 

In this house we celebrate Halloween all month long, and what better way to celebrate than by upping the spooky ante!



Your eyes aren't deceiving you-- Series 1 will join the rest of the gang in production this year and be available to backers when surveys go out! I'm fully confident we'll reach and most likely exceed the original funding goal I set for us in the coming months, which is why I feel comfortable releasing them now rather than keeping us all in suspense for no good reason.

Thank you all for giving me that confidence by making this campaign such a wild success! I'm so happy I get to make the careweres available to so many people that love them as much as I do. I still find it absolutely mind blowing, but I'm so ready to take advantage of this amazing opportunity and deliver the best experience possible!

A few things to note! 

You don't need to do anything special or add anything to your order if you want a Series 1 Carewere! Series 1 and Series 2 are virtually identical in terms of size and weight so I've grouped them all together and they will all be completely interchangeable when surveys are released. 

Thank you all again, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

We made it to friday, hooray! And what better way to celebrate the end of the week than with another batch of colorful cryptids?

As you may have noticed we're still 10k shy of the next stretch goal, but I'm confident we'll reach it before the 5th and unlock our next spooky friend-- so it's poll time!
 


For those of you wondering about the status of the original mothman and Gutsy were, my manufacturer is on holiday right now so I don't expect to hear much for the next week or so. I'll update you all as soon as I have something to share though!

Editing to add a back view of the moths! They do have wings that are unique to each color.
