☕ Good evening Teacups ☕

🍓Ichigo finally won the votes and so here is his pin reveal! We are testing a new glow format in his pin where the red stripes will only show up in dark light and I can't wait to check out the effect physically! There will also be a textured effect in the backdrop.



🛒 Ichigo will be made available to backerkit users using the pledge manager at the end of the campaign. Do reach out to us if you wish to be invited to use the pledge manager in advance!

🤯 We are currently two stretch goals behind on the art end! Please help me vote for the next unlock; comments on IG will be counted tomorrow (post to go live ain 2 hours from now)


That is all for today!

Merry Christmas~~!!

With love,

Hello Teacups ☕ !

🌟 Just wanted to share I have completed a new design for the previous poll winner Sephiroth! And yes! this will also be made available to you too at the end of January! Do let me know if you wish to test out the addons in backerkit pledge manager and I can send you an early invite <3

Also....


🗳️ Please head over to my IG post to participate in the next voting! Maybe Ichigo can win this time? Or would it be Kaiba which has been much requested to match with Yugi? Or Luffy (I wonder how his design would turn out with my style)

💖 Here's the link! Thank you in advance 💖

With love,

Gaze II.b updates and more!
11 months ago – Tue, Dec 19, 2023 at 01:05:34 AM

  Hello Teacups ☕ !

✏️ I am finally done with these three designs and I hope you love them as much as I do!


 👀 Sharp eyes may notice that there is one extra addition there which was not part of this campaign 👀

🔥 Lavi  is added on as an unlock in the Kickstarter version of this campaign, Gaze II.b.
Fret not as he (and other future designs unlocked in kickstarter) is also available for you~!

👌 As it is my first time using the backerkit pledge manager, I am slowly testing how this works with a couple backers to check if the add-on system works smoothly.

👌 Once this is all A-OK, we'll be sending out the surveys at the end of January where everyone else will be able to finalize your pin selections plus choose to get additional goodies as seen on kickstarter if you wish to so nobody misses out on anything!

📋 What can you do meanwhile? Please head over to the survey  if you have not done so yet to feed me your two cents on what I should draw next! Or if you have already done the survey, options have been refreshed with some new characters so do check to see if the updated list has any of your faves.

📋  Why do I keep bugging people about the survey? Well I need to know what you will like to see next as I don't have my own opinion-

📋  We have a new series of stretch goals on Kickstarter that would unlock on 100 and 125 unique survey feedback! To make me draw faster, keep the opinions coming in :D

🤑 Also, pin draw winners have been credited S$20 to your backerkit pledge so do spend them on your free pin selection! (let me know if it doesn't work)

😫 This may have been a bit all over the place but I've been running around doing booths and drawing at the same time so I'm quite tired hahahaha anyway thank you for reading to the end!

💌 With love,

🐇 Yuu from Tea & Buns🐇

🎉Stretch goals update and countdown to the end!🎉
12 months ago – Wed, Nov 29, 2023 at 07:30:50 PM

Hello everybody!

We have been quiet recently due to the back to back events we attended; Animaga @ Melbourne Convention Center and AFA @ Suntec Convention Center! We bring you great news from these events; due to the overwhelming enthusiasm for the pin designs and pre-orders we got, we are able to unlock all of the planned pins for this campaign!

That means Kakashi, Grimmjow, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru and our final pin unlock Sasuke, who won the popularity poll are all confirmed and will be sent in for production (except sasuke which will be designed soon before being sent in) !

And that's not all! We are adding ANOTHER bonus design that you can pledge for right now!



How can we do a Sasuke pin without Naruto? Yep he will also be designed as a pin, and has already been added to the campaign at early bird prices where you can pre-pledge before it all ends!

The artwork is due to be uploaded shortly after the campaign ends, so you can also choose to add on with the pledge manager at full price when you are ready to do so.

That is all for now! Thank you for the fantastic support so far and we will be back with another update real soon.

With love, 
Tea&Buns
