Okay, so I don't know why, but I'm really nervous about this. ^^; Basically the charms and stickers are now available on Storenvy and Etsy!
The Kickstarter was a huge success - there's over 20 designs now (excluding the 10+ campaign exclusives!) and they're available on either of the sites! Not only that, but the next ten orders will receive a random pin badge, absolutely free!

I'm still learning how to use them both, but it seems a few of you already found me, and fear not - I know how to work them well enough to send out the orders. >w< But I will be polishing them after Christmas, and seeing what I want the next project to be!

I want to thank everyone who made this a reality.

Hey guys, kind of struggling to keep my excitement in, so sorry if this comes out all dumb, but I'm making charms and stickers?? And they're going to be adorable and I'm so so excited??
Picture the little bouncy guys you know me for, but cupped in your hands??? Ahh!
I've poured literally every spare penny I've earned into the tools, parts and packaging, etc. but I need a hand with the final push, and most exciting part - the actual printing and laser cutting. The initial outlay of those is a bit too steep for me to cover on my own, which is why I'm asking for your help over on Kickstarter!

You can get all of the above from the Kickstarter right now, but there's also some stretch goals to unlock new designs, not to mention the limited edition stuff! There's the old favourites, there's revamps, and completely new artwork that'll I'll be releasing as animated icons throughout the duration of the campaign. ;u;
If you want to know more or would consider backing, please head over to the Kickstarter page where you can see all the details, see all the perks, and see all the new stuff I have lined up for you guys! www.kickstarter.com/projects/k…

I'll let one of the previews do the talking for a bit, I've gone silly:

Thanks for reading!
(also if you would like to share and spread the word I'm certainly not going to stop you. >w>)



Hey guys! I'm going to be completely honest - I'm absolutely blown away by how kind you guys are. You smashed the goal in an hour and a half! Excuse me?! I can't even find a way to put into words how grateful I am - just thank you so, so much. Your generosity and enthusiasm are truly heartwarming and as exhausted I am from working on this, all these good vibes are driving me on!
Not only did you absolutely obliterate the first goal, within the first 12 hours we reached the first stretch goal! So I'm very pleased to announce: Jolteon, Vaporeon, Flareon, Umbreon and Espeon charms are now available!

I never could've predicted how fast all of this would happen, even in my wildest dreams I thought I only stood a chance of reaching the stretch goals at the very end of the campaign. To celebrate, I've added a new stretch goal with a bunch of new exclusive rewards, be sure to check it out!
Thank you for reading, and once again, thank you so much for your work so far! I honestly can't quite wrap my head around how kind you all are, I'm just going to keep animating and trying to show you all how grateful I am!



Hey everyone! I'm delighted to be back again to announce that we have even more designs! ;u; You guys are absolutely crushing it, I can't believe we've reached a goal I thought we might not reach in the entire 30 days of the campaign - nowhere close to 5 days! I can't believe how lovely you all are, you're all wonderful and I could not feel more touched at the phenomenal response you've shown!
I've updated the designs sheet above to show all the designs we'll be making, but here's a closer look at what we've unlocked!:
Designssg2unlocked by Kattling
Once again thank you so so much. I'll be announcing the free mystery gifts soon, just got a little more designing to do. ;u; If you'd like to get in on it all, don't forget to check it out!



What was it, yesterday??! Was that my last update?! ^^; Seriously, how did you unlock this next stretch goal so quickly?! I'm extremely excited to announce that we now have a whopping 8 more designs - that means we have 23 designs in total! I genuinely can't believe it, I didn't even make an 'unlocked' graphic for this stretch goal, as I was sure we'd never reach it. But here we are! Thank you so so much! ;u; These new designs are campaign exclusives - once they're gone, they're gone, so if you're interested, head over there as soon as possible! goo.gl/pr7yrC

Sorry for the delay in the mystery gift - it's still coming, just taking a little longer than expected. ;u; My dayjob has given me a million hours all of a sudden, and I've been drawing/designing/animating in what little time I have left. I think I have a day off next week though, I'll definitely be finishing up some new stuff then and getting back to anyone I haven't replied to yet. Thank you for your patience. :heart:



Here we are again, at something I never thought we'd achieve! ;u; Once again we've smashed another stretch goal, taking our total up to 33 designs! You guys have left me absolutely speechless!
Designssg4unlocked by Kattling
Not only that, but I finally found time for that mystery gift - any pledge with a physical reward will receive a random badge, absolutely free!
Badges by Kattling
If you want to get your hands on any of these, I would highly recommend doing it now - there's over 30 designs to choose from, many of them exclusive to the campaign, and I don't want anyone to miss out on all the giveaways! I've got to work out exact numbers still, but if things go as planned, there'll be a few more surprises to come too!

Unfortunately I'm going to be without reliable WiFi for a few days, so the next you'll probably hear from me will be at the finishing line! ;u; Thank you guys so much for turning this little dream into something really special!

So, they're finally open! :squee: I'm super excited, I've been working super hard to pull this all together, and I wanna make some people happy? For the first batch I've got a couple of things on sale, look out for the blue stickers!

9. If the work is time-sensitive, i.e. a gift for a birthday, let me know, and I won't post the artwork anywhere until that date.

10a. You will receive a full refund if I am unable to complete the artwork due to something on my end.
10b. If you change your mind and want to cancel your commission, you can still receive a full refund as long as I have not started work.

A Return to Art

5 min read
Hey, so, I guess I'd like to start posting again. ;u; I don't want to go into too much detail, I guess life just got in the way, I was having a bad time and all motivation to make art left me. I made some little bits here and there, I probably won't upload them to dA but if I do it'll probably be to scraps, just to keep my gallery clean. If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or (something new I've cooked up) Instagram you'll either have already seen those or will soon. ;u; Go follow me there if you want to see some extra stuff, I'll go into more detail in a second, but I'm hoping to have exclusive content for each different place and hopefully make it worth your support!

But, I've come back with some ideas of where I want to head and what I want to do.

Firstly, my schedule. My hope is that I can maintain an average of two icons a week. Some weeks it might be one, and then there's three next week, or perhaps there'll be one complicated icon, or one icon and a shiny pack - you get the idea, you're smart people, you know what an average is. ^^; This will hopefully allow me to stockpile icons for weeks that I can't meet the quota without drawing away from posting regularly. Hopefully this will allow me to plan events better too, like that Halloween one I did a while ago, where I'll upload every day for a week leading up to some kind of event or holiday. We'll see how that goes, may need tweaking here and there.

I also want to fix some things I've already set up - social media and Patreon. I've linked to all the current social medias above that I use, but not Patreon as that needs more of a tidy and I don't want to give people the wrong idea about everything. I set up Patreon a while ago but never really officially announced it and to be completely honest I sort of forgot I had it, but a couple of people found it anyway and when I find time between work and my other plans I would like to honour what I promised to those who have made payments.
In regards to social media, I want to be more faithful to those. Some lovely people already follow me there but I rarely post anything, so that needs a-fixing. ;u; What are the benefits of following me on social media? I'm going to give you the extra stuff, the things I make in between icons, W.I.P's, and anything else you'd like to see, I guess. There'll also be exclusive stuff that I hope to rotate between sites, i.e. Facebook will get to see something exclusive to Facebook on week 1, then Twitter will get something exclusive on week 2, etc. I'm also going to try and make it all less general. Right now I upload everything everywhere, but I'd like to make Facebook the centre of conversation, Twitter will include some dumb text-based quips about art and life, Instagram is obviously going to have a lot more visual stuff, and Tumblr... not sure what to do with Tumblr yet. X'D I'm open to suggestions. Obviously you're going to get to see the art stuff wherever you follow me, but this will help you sort of tailor your experience to what you want to see. I also want to use them to host polls, contests, giveaways, etc. because I really like interacting with you guys. ;u; Hopefully if/when I get some merch sorted I'll even be able to give that away! I'm thinking of dabbling in Youtube and Twitch too, I did a couple of speedpaints but I'd love to do some speedpaints/tutorials/art stories, maybe some Q&A's or just something chilled out where we draw alongside eachother and all show off what we're up to.

I also really want to up my communication with you guys. ;u; I think I used to focus too much on the art, not enough on the back-and-forth, and I got overwhelmed. Part of me wants to draw a line, clear all my inboxes, and start new; the other part of me wants to reply to everything, as I really appreciate everyone's time, but I worry that most of those things won't even require responses any more and it'll take my time away from people who are active and asking new questions. So, I'm not sure how to handle that, maybe I'll just scroll through and look for important things.

I guess that's all for now, thanks for reading. ^^ Over the next few days I'll be doing what I call "admin", replying to people, sorting out my inbox and stuff, but if you've been trying to get hold of me recently then definitely post again, I'll probably see it sooner.

It would be awesome if you read these before ordering. ;u;

1. I remain the right to decline commissions.
2. Commissions must apply to DeviantArt's rules.
3. Prices may change, but all payments are final, so you will never have to pay extra. If I lower the prices in between the customer paying for a commission and receiving the finished piece, they will receive a partial refund so their payment matches the new price.
4. Your happiness is my priority! If you are unhappy with the finished product, I will work an extra hour to fix it, free of charge. However, due to people in the past exploiting my generosity and keeping me working on their commissions unpaid for days longer than necessary, there'll be a small fee if you want anything more changes to be made after the aforementioned free hour. (Usually an hour is more than enough time to fix any faults, so don't be concerned!)
5. I will not draw any "down-there" nudity, but exposed boobs are fine. >w<
6. If for any reason on my end I am unable to complete the commission, you will receive a full refund.
7. If you change your mind and no longer want a commission you've ordered it is possible for you to receive a full refund, if work has not started. Depending on how much work has been put into the commission, partial refunds of varying percentages will be issued.
8. If work hasn't started you may change your mind about what you want drawn. Ordered a Rainbow Dash but now you decided you'd rather have a Jontron? No problemo, just let me know ASAP!
9. Work can take up to a week to complete, but is usually a much shorter amount of time. If it will be any longer, I will let you know!
10. References are my best friend, but I can work off descriptions too. ;u;
11. These terms and conditions may change; more might be added, some might be removed. If any changes are made that will effect a commission you have ordered, I will let you know.

Happy commissioning! ;u; I can't wait to see what you guys challenge me with.
