New Design Ideas

I'm not really sure how to title the post, but I asked this on discord a while back, and I know some of you guys aren't a part of it or aren't active, so I figured I would make an interest post here as well -

This is post is more directed towards the Original Design and Deluxe Pin Club members, but I figured it would be cool to get everyone's input on this! 

I originally launched my Patreon to be a dangle pin club, but I wanted to see if you guys were interested in the club e...

February G.iveaway Winners!

Sorry for the late announcement on this~ 

I had a lot of stuff going on at the end of February and a headache of a time at the start of March, and with the Genshin Impact Kickstarter fulfillment going on, I just lost track of time. 

February was a big month. Sugarcubed turned 3, and I turned 30 (sob). So, to keep things in threes, I've picked 3 winners! 

Winners will receive 3 random pins~ 

Winners: Xena B., Cassidy N., Linda V.

March 2021 Password!

Sorry for getting around to this so slow - if you haven't seen my stories on IG, scammers have been making their rounds and pretending to be me. That's a fun start to March! 

Anyway - access password and discount code for this month is:

MONKEYTOWN

March 2021 Design Reveal!

I think I was on a roll with having some Chinese/Asian inspired artwork after my Kokeshi Ox in February, so I decided to design the most famous monkey of them all: Sun Wukong! 

His big round cheeks are too cute ♥

And for my Mystery Monster - who doesn't like Mudkip? Fite me.

Exclusive Pre-Orders Launching 02/24!

Exclusive club pre-orders are up tomorrow at 5PM CST. They'll be up for just a week, so grab them while you can at a discounted price~ 

Lost Rewards Card

Hello lovelies~ 

If you happen to lose your sticker card, here is a digital copy that you can print out on your own! 

I won't have any additional past stickers, however, Patreon does keep a record of the months you've been in the club, and if you are missing rewards stickers but know you've been part of the club for x months, just let me know, and I can double check for you~ 

May Mystery Monster Type Poll

We're here again with another vote for May's mystery monster!

April won the ghost vote, so it won't be showing up for May's selection, and the grass type will be back in rotation.

Happy voting!

Quick Draw : Miltank!

I...was going to do a quick draw video for the Kokeshi Ox as well, but I realized I didn't record the color selection process? That or the file got corrupted, so I went with Miltank this month! 

I also didn't start recording this one until after I finished sketching 'cause it'd been a while since I recorded and it completely slipped my mind, but I hope you guys still enjoy watching it anyway~ 

January G.iveaway Winner!

I told you guys I would make a banner! 

And now it's time to announce the winner for January~ 

Drum roll please~ 

The winner for January 2021 is....

Anna G. !!

And the prize is an adorable plush pillow that you can cuddle the heck out of when you go to sleep at night. ♥♥

Congratulations and thank you everyone for your support!!...

February Password and Discount Code

We're already in February? 

I can't wait to maybe? celebrate Lunar New Year with my family this year? Maybe? Or just hot pot. I'll go for either one! Oh, and omg, I turn 30. YIKES.

Let's not focus on my age, now. 

Here's this month's password and discount code: NEWMOOYEAR - ya'll get 15% off this month to celebrate all the things!

Exclusive Pre-Order :: Konpeito Earrings!

Hello Sweeties~ 

Sorry I haven't been posting too much. I've been feeling a little under the weather - here in Houston, it's been like 80 degrees one day and then 50 degrees the next, and my body responds to that by thinking I have allergies and knocking me out for hours at a time each day. x_x 

That being said! I do have something special for you guys, as you've probably read from the title! Exclusive pre-order just for my patreon club members! 

I'll be worki...

February 2021 Design Reveal!

I'm especially nervous for February's design - because this is the first ever non-animal design! 

I had a really tough time coming up with something in celebration for Lunar Moo Year because cows are so hard to draw! I had a really tough time with my Zodiac pin series with the cow as well. 

At the time, I had the idea of doing a kokeshi doll series, and I wanted to see how my style of drawing the kokeshi dolls would look like, and from there, it kind of evolved to having...

Ita Backpacks are up!

Hi Sweeties~

I just wanted to sent you guys a quick update that the ita backpacks are up on the secret patreon shop (https://www.sugarcubedstudios.com/collections/patreon-club-pins) -- Sorry I couldn't get it up to you guys sooner. There was so much inventory to check and photos to take! 

These will be up exclusively for you guys until ~4:45PM CST tomorrow where I'll take ...

April Mystery Monster TYPE Poll

Hello, my fellow Trainers~ 

This is a poll specially curated for you! 

As this is a new club tier, I'll be trying something a little different and new. I hope you guys will have fun in being a part of it~ 

Each month, I'll throw up a new poll for you guys to select the monster type. There are 18 total, which means we won't get to tackle all the types, and depending on the popularity, you might see the types pop up twice or more times in a year! 

But...

Early Access: Beanies and Berets are up!

I had intended to throw this up in my shop earlier today, but Shopify was down to due some server issues, but they're live now! Just head on over to https://www.sugarcubedstudios.com/collections/patreon-club-pins - type in this month's password, and then you'll be able to get the beanies before everyone else~ 

The Busy Bee Bee-ret has made a comeback due to high demands, so grab ...

Fire Fox Speedart!

This one took me a particularly long time - I think most of it was trying to figure out how the screen printing was going to work and making sure the colors all matched and worked out. I can't remember this 100% since I drew it back in ... November? xD I was really productive at some point with all the patreon designs! 

In any case, all the stickers are in, and packages are scheduled to ship out tomorrow! Thank you guys for your patience and I hope you love everything~ ♥

Delayed Shipping

Hello Sweeties!

I just wanted to give you guys a quick update that there's going to be a delay in shipping. The stickers I ordered were temporarily lost in transit (shipped over 1 1/2 weeks ago!), but it looks like they're on their way to me now with an ETA on Friday.

Apologies for the late delivery, but I'm super excited to get these out to you as soon as possible! 

♥ - Vivian

January 2021 Designs Reveal

For our OG dangle, we're jumping in hot with a...fire fox... 👀 for 2021!

This lil' vulpine is already in my hands is he's just so cute. This is the first design I've ever had that utilizes so much screen print, and I don't regret it at all!! 

If you haven't read the most recent update with the upcoming changes to the patreon club, well, I'm sure you're in for a bit of a surprise as I reveal another dangle design that will be joining us starting in the new year!&nb...

NEW: Sticker Rewards Card

Starting in 2021, I'll be giving everyone a sticker rewards card! 

Joining the vinyl sticker will be a small mini sticker that you can put on this card. For every 3 stickers (or 3 months in the club), you can redeem a small prize! This doesn't have to be consecutive. You can leave for a month and come right back and still redeem the prize!

Each prize tier will be different, so you'll never receive the same thing twice. 

Prizes will also be unique to the rewards car...

December Design Reveal!

All good birdies deserve to fly! 

The pins should already be en route! Hopefully no late deliveries on my end this time around~ ♥

I know times are tough, but as a thank you for being with me in 2020, I'll be throwing an extra gift for everyone who stays in the club with me for December! 

I'll also be announcing some changes for the club in 2021 sometime in December, so keep an eye out for that! 

Diona Quick Draw!

I hope you guys enjoy the quick draws I post - I know straight forward bust/giant heads aren't as fun to watch as other designs, but this is what I'm focusing at the moment for my Kickstarter! 

I'm definitely getting better about remembering to record while I draw these days, so I have a good amount of videos prepped and at the ready!

If you're unaware of my Kickstarter, it's live! Everything on the campaign is currently unlocked, and will be running for 13 more days. You can...

Scenery Practice

I haven't drawn without using hard outlines in a long time, and sceneries have never been a forte of mine, but playing Genshin Impact and being in the Liyue region really inspired some desire to practice drawing organic shapes! 

It's nothing entirely extraordinary, but I figured it would be fun to show you guys things I work on between obsessively playing video games and working on pin projects. 

You guys are more than welcomed to use this practice piece for backgrounds,...

November 2020 Design Reveal!

*cue X-Files music*

They're really out there. Stealing our cows and stuff.

Sorry for the late reveal! It's been a busy couple of days~ 

I just wanted to say thank you so much for the tremendous amount of support and love for my baddy batty! We've already hit the 150 member milestone, so you can be sure that I'll be hosting a g/iveaway at the end of the month!

Trick-or-Treat Gatchapon Play!

I've been seeing a lot of fun gatchapon reels and reveals / purchases on other shops, and I wanted to brush the dust off my gatchapon, too~ 

I gave it a bit of a brainstorm to see what fun I could make of it and since Halloween is right around the corner, I figured I would do a fun trick-or-treat event. 

Behind all the fun plays, it's really just a seconds sale, but at least you can seewhat comes out of the capsule if you want a video sent to you via Ins...

October 2020 Reveal!

First of all: sorry for begin so quiet this month. I had all my DnD tarot class pins come in and then the week after shipping those out, the ita backpacks came in, and I FINALLY finished doing quality check for all the ones I have. Now I'm exporting all the shipping information onto my shipping program (more than halfway done) and shipping officially begins. 

That being said, I'm hecking excited for October 'cause the best holiday is coming up at the end of said month! I'm also rea...

August 2020 Reveal!

Good Monday, everyone! 

I'm excited to show off August's design! He's so cute in his little booties - I can't even.

It's a short post - but I hope it makes your Monday, nonetheless. ♥

Remember to stay safe, wear your masks, and wash your hands!
