The others are a backing card for the system fans + future SVSSS P4P (top left), backing card for the parasite minis (bottom left), and an info card about displaying & caring for special effect pins (bottom right) ^^

A shrink-wrapped block of paper cards in various sizes. The top left card is cyan in the style of a system menu, bottom left card is a symmetrical red and brown design with swirls, a dark lotus and a flame, bottom right card is the same system menu except red with text "OOC!", and top right is a sticker of the cyan system menu.

A photo of the writeable system card sticker with a handwritten message. In permanent marker "congratulations!" is written three times in capital letters, and below that in ballpoint pen and in cursive is "important things must be said three times!"

Printing manu thought I might need to eliminate someone with a paper brick--

Anyways I ordered some system stickers in poca size (55x85mm) on uncoated paper, so you can write on them! Markers & ballpoint pens work best.

They'll be freebies for POs + in-hands after that while they last :)

A close-up photo of red, coral, pink and white tissue paper. Running up the side is a handwritten message in capital letters "please reuse if you can" and "kerbside". A signature "hellionophore" is at the bottom edge, with lineless drawings of a folding fan and decorative pot above it. The edge of a digital menu is next to the folding fan, and leaves, tiny bugs, and blood splatters fill the empty spaces. The edges of two swords are visible but are either covered by another layer or cut off at the edge of the photo.

A full photo of the tissue paper showing a two-way symmetrical design upside down. The annotation "please reuse if you can - kerbside recyclable" repeats on either edge. In the centre is a flame billowing out of a white lotus, bordered by four swords, two each crossing each other at the tip and close to meeting at the pommel.

I also have atrocious impulse control so I got some custom wrapping paper made :D

(Design is upside down in 2nd pic, that's just how it comes off the roll)

It turned out fantastic, really happy with the quality!! Such a nice texture, and well worth the pain of drawing in CMYK on a huge ass canvas

Quick video of the cat's eye variants c:

The colours change a lot with angle & intensity of the light source, so here they look quite blue/purple but they will be more green/teal in different settings (esp in more ambient/low light).

Really fun to play around with, I hope you folks like them!

A box packed full of ziplock bags with mini enamel pins. The designs are not clearly visible, however many of them are green or red in tone, with gold, silver nickel, or black nickel plating.

A pile of ziplock bags with various pins. The top two bags show butterfly mini pins, one with silver plating, dark fill, and black star backing clutches, whereas the other has gold plating, red fill, and red heart backing clutches. The pins below that are not clearly visible, but are all in the shape of folding fans.

Mini pins have also arrived! I'm just over halfway through grading the non-P4P pins, and P4P will be much quicker when I get to them ✌️

Genuinely impressed by the packing tetris on the minis, I'm never getting them back in like that LMAO

Also, there will hopefully be extras, but those will not be available until *all* preorders have been dispatched and given time to arrive.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions ^^

For EU buyers: Shopify is causing me some problems *facepalm*

I will email, but basically if you're fine receiving your items on schedule, I may have to refund your order then get you to re-send payment (VAT unpaid). Or, we can wait and see if Zonos does DDP for EU. So sorry for the inconvenience!

Once I've checked all the fans, domestic AU + intl non-US orders that contain only those pins (i.e. no minis) will be ready to ship first.

I'll share when emails go out for shipping payments.

If you'd like to combine your PO with in-hand items from my Bigcartel, there will be a code as well :D

It will take me time to count, check & clean all the pins, and liaise with the rep if anything doesn't look right. They won't be ready to ship right away 🙇

Also, shipping to the US is still very uncertain; DDP is coming soon for Auspost w/ Zonos, but I'll be waiting to see how things unfold first.

Digital mockups of a set of thirteen enamel pins shaped like folding fans, all with the same grey tone ribs and silver nickel plating. From top left to bottom right there are: a teal fan with text 'U Can U Up', a red fan with text 'OOC', a teal fan with text 'No Can No BB', a blue fan with red plum blossoms, a black fan with red plum blossoms, a pale white fan with a dark blood splatter, a more opaque white fan, a black fan with a light blood splatter, a black fan with a bow-shaped cat's eye effect in blue and green, a black fan with a gradient cat's eye effect with green at the bottom and blue-black at the top, a green fan with bamboo, a teal fan with the traditional Chinese character for 'wind', and a purple fan with the character for 'water'.

The fan pins finished production WAY earlier than expected, so they are on their way to me now!! No photos of the final pins bc they went straight to dispatch, but I'll share once they arrive.

This does not include the mini pins; those are with a different manufacturer.

WAAA I'm so glad to hear that!! I'm desperate to share it in full eventually LOL

Cannot wait to see the full zine of everyone's works come together 🥺

Many invertebrates also have a protective cuticle, such as the exoskeleton of arthropods or the tegument of flatworms.

In the name of taxonomical and anatomical variety, and just because I can, this illustration is full of weird stuff. Plenty of details to get under your skin 🫶

Don't miss out!

Now, your first thought about skin creatures might be all wrinkles and jiggly bits, but what is skin anyways?

For vertebrate animals like us and skinzun, the skin is a flexible integumentary system that protects our squishy insides, keeping them safe and moist.

However, more generally...

A graphic labelled "Contributor Preview" with an artwork cropped to show Luo Binghe as a moth in a wooden tray, sat below two long specimen tubes on a darker wooden background, one tube filled with white whiskers and the other filled with red ticks of various sizes. Over the artwork are the label "Skin Deep: A SVSSS Skin Creatures Zine" and a drawing of Luo Binghe as a hairless cat with his face replaced by an emote of him screaming "shizun" in capital letters. Below the preview title is "Hellion 04" in capital letters, with smaller text "Hellionophore" next to the icons for Instagram, Tumblr, and Bluesky.

It has been an absolute blast to be a part of this project for @svssskinzine.bsky.social, and I hope you're all as thrilled as I am (maybe a little bit terrified?) to see it take physical form >:)

Preorders are currently open for Skin Deep! Available until September 30~

svssskinzine.bigcartel.com

I'm now marking orders made via Pay/Pal as processed, so if you get an email notification regarding shipment without any tracking, don't fret! You will receive your actual tracking via Shopify after production once you pay for shipping. I'm just telling PP I'm not stealing your money lmao

Will be closing in around 10min, so a little after 1am AEST! Please make sure to place your order before then 🫶

A drawing of a blank form with horizontal lines and line graphics, with the heading "confirmation form" and a blank space to enter an order number after a hash symbol.

A screenshot of a page about a required form submission titled 'fill out the confirmation form after you order pleaseee'. In case you miss the invoice email requesting shipping payment, I might need alternative contact details, but this shop unfortunately does not have a notes section at checkout. Confirming your deets also helps me match supporters to social media accounts if you send a DM or tag me in stuff! Orders that are not associated with a form submission at the end of the preorder period may get cancelled and refunded. The link is provided in the middle of the page, and also linked in the shop in my carrd.

Please also make sure you fill out the confirmation form after you order.

I need alt contact details in case you miss the shipping invoice email, plus confirmation that you are aware of the wait. I will likely cancel orders that don't have a submission after POs close 🙇

A screenshot of a shop page with ten listings. The first three are information listings: a read-me for before you order, a confirmation form to submit after you order, and group order info.

Aurora variant (gradient)

Milky way variant (bow)

Four photos of samples from the manufacturer. Top left shows the bow variant, top right and bottom right show the shifting colours of the gradient variant, and bottom left shows the backstamp with two silver butterfly clutches.

Cat's eye effect is a very manual process, so each pin will be slightly different and unique, but these are the type specimens (so to speak) for each variant. One has a bow shape, whereas the other has more of a gradient.

Left: milky way variant (bow)
Right: aurora variant (gradient)

Two digital mockups of silver nickel plated enamel pins shaped like folding fans. Both have black fill and white star print, with a dark blue fringe on the edge of the fan. The left design has a blue, purple and green bow shape arching through the black fill, thinner at the left edge expanding to a thicker line at the right edge. The right design has the same colours forming a gradient from the bottom to top edge, changing from green to blue to purple to black.

Two digital mockups of the back side of each pin, showing a logo backstamp and two blue star-shaped rubber clutches per pin.

Don't forget, POs close this weekend!

Cat's eye variants are a novelty highlight of the lineup, and I fell in love with two samples my manu made so I've made both available. Check the thread below for pics & video of them in action ↓

Digital mockups of twelve enamel pin designs shaped like small worms. Each row of four is the same design in different colours, and each column is a matching colourway. The top row are round worms with sucker mouths, the middle row are wavy grub-shaped worms, and the bottom row are segmented short worms with a spiky mouthpart. The left column are red fill with gold plating, second from the left are also red but with black nickel plating, second from the right are teal and cyan with silver nickel plating, and to the right are white polarising fill with gold plating. The polarising fill is depicted with a pale yellow/pink tint to the white fill.

The back of each of the twelve pins as a digital mockup of the rubber backing clutches. Each has a single clutch: the red and gold variants have red heart clutches, the red and black nickel variants have black heart clutches, the teal and silver nickel variants have white translucent star clutches, and the polarising white and gold variants have white translucent star clutches.

Very self-indulgent worms are also up for preorder ouo

If you were thinking your Bingqiu pin display is looking a bit empty and lacking, why not shove some parasite fillers in there?

All designs will be produced but extras may be very limited as they are P4P 🙇

It's such a huge and monumental work, so things are complex!! I think there are definitely elements of the story that deserve critique, but when people take it at face value they can struggle to grasp the full scale of the work 🤔

Which... is very similar to SVSSS... LMAO there's a pipeline istg

[3/3]

The sets are cheaper because the price is calculated as a single "item", and so only one flat packaging/fee amount is included. If we fail to meet MOQ, in-hand leftovers may be more expensive to account for any difference. Though, note the aussie dollar is weaker than the USD/EUR/GBP ;)
