Stretch Goal #2 Unlocked — "Dogman Division" patch
about 7 years ago – Sun, Mar 19, 2017 at 07:54:04 PM

I was working my artist table all weekend at Wizard World Cleveland comic-con, so I am a bit tardy in revealing the second stretch goal bonus patch which was unlocked yesterday — Dogman Division!

 All backers who pledged for a reward that includes the main patch 3-pack will now receive two additional bonus patches as part of their reward — the Flatwoods Monster Patrol, and now the Dogman Division.

Thanks to everyone who made this campaign such a big success! Great work, Cryptid Commandos!

And I should mention that we're not too far off from unlocking a third stretch goal item at the $7,000 funding mark.

There's also been requests to make available an alternate Mothman Squadron patch, as well as a Paranormal Forces logo patch and pin. Oh, and the alternate Cryptid Command circular insignia as a patch too… 

We shall shortly discuss running some or all of these side campaigns if you guys are interested in making those items happen.

Thanks again for your support of the project and of my art!

P.S. You can follow me on Kickstarter here. I've been working on a bunch of fun stuff I can't wait to share with everyone for upcoming campaigns.

Stretch Goal #1 Unlocked — "Flatwoods Monster Patrol" patch
about 7 years ago – Fri, Mar 10, 2017 at 03:06:13 PM

Stretch Goal #1 Unlocked!

We just unlocked the first stretch goal patch as the funding reached $4,000!

All backers who pledged for a reward that includes the main patch 3-pack will now receive an additional bonus patch — the Flatwoods Monster Patrol!

You can update your pledge to a reward level that qualifies for the stretch goal rewards by going to the main campaign page and clicking the blue "manage" button. 

 Stretch Goal #2 and beyond…

Stretch Goal #2 will be unlocked if the campaign funds reach $5500. Spread the word and help us get more backers and you'll get more free patches!

Here's a second teaser image to whet your appetite:

We are about 10% of the way to unlocking stretch goal #2. 

Stretch Goal #3 teaser!

Stretch Goal #3 is at the $7000 funding level. Here's a teaser of the working sketch:

We have a ways to go to unlock this one, but the campaign is only half over. Plenty of time to spread the word, get more backers and get even more free patches added to your reward!

Thank You!

Thanks again for backing, and for making the campaign a big success! 

Your pledges and support of these campaigns not only make this set of patches possible, but make future patches possible as well. In fact, the focus of running these campaigns, and the interaction with all the awesome backers is also a huge inspiration for future patch set concepts. It also helps to keep the motivation levels high for future campaigns (and I am always working on 3-4 campaigns down the road while one is running, and 1 is shipping). 

Knowing I have such a strong team of backers allows me to take a bigger leap of faith with all of these concepts. I put a lot of time into these sets that goes on behind the scenes. It's much easier to dedicate all that time and effort knowing that it's very likely they will get the funding and be brought into reality as patches. 

I really can't thank you enough for being a part of this and making it all possible. 

I've got a lot more fun stuff that I can't wait to share with you all, with more inspiration arriving daily. Thank you for making it all possible!

Funded in 5 hours! Stretch goal patch art teaser…
about 7 years ago – Tue, Mar 07, 2017 at 07:40:20 PM

A big salute to all you soldiers who deployed quickly for the campaign launch and made this campaign a success so quickly. We reached the funding goal in 5 hours, and hit 100 backers in the first 30 hours. A creator couldn't ask for a better launch. Thank you!

In addition to reaching the funding goal, we have also surpassed it and are well on our way to the first stretch goal at $4000. The next stretch goal will be at $5500, and the following at $7000. And if the funding continues, I've got more patches and other designs ready to go.

I'm still wrapping up the final tweaks to the additional patch art, but for now here's a teaser of two of them:

As always, I can really use your help to spread the word on the campaign. Whatever social media you use (eve if it's smoke signals) can bring in more backers.

Don't forget, more backers means more pledges which helps unlock more stretch goals and that means you get more free patches!

So please help spread the word, and be sure to mention me so I know who to thank.

Also, if you aren't aware you can follow creators (like me) on Kickstarter.

Thanks again for backing the campaign and for your support of my creations as an independent artist.
