- NEW: I uploaded new PNG files for Kurapika & Hisoka that include the print on the design (that way your mock-ups look more accurate)!
- There is no limit to the entries you can make, but you can only win once!
- If you have trouble posting in the community tab, you can share it in discord, or e-mail it to me :)

Hello everyone!!
There are so many new faces!! I'm honestly overwhelmed with the new support I've been receiving as of late.. thank you so much for joining my patreon! I'll be creating a new FAQ with common questions and my general guidelines. In the mean time, you can send me e-mails. There are a few I couldn't answer from early this month, so if you have an important question, please please e-mail me again <3
Now.. don't click out please! Read to the end for all the news I've been piling up! (~˘▾˘)~
Important news! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
First! I'll be pausing my patreon for September. I'm trying my best to draw a bunch of new stuff I want to release for the upcoming season, so I decided to pause this month to focus on those projects. Now that I'm feeling better, I have a million things I want to draw!
What does pausing mean? It means you will not be charged on September 1st for any rewards, but you will still be able to access any posts or updates I make on Patreon :)
Price Changes:
On September 1st, I will publish new tiers with the price changes.
You will not be charged with the new tier price until October 1st, so you'll have an entire month to decide if it's worth it for you!
I truly should have done this a year ago, but I've tried to hold off as long as possible. Unfortunately, for over a year, my manufacturing prices have constantly increased which makes it difficult to afford some of the Patreon pins I want to produce. I'd like to continue making large, pearly, detailed pins without a worry. On top of that, USPS increased the minimum First Class Shipping Rate twice last year, and there are talk that another increase will come in October. All of these factors have contributed to my decision to change the tier prices, so I hope you can all understand. <3 The hunter tip jar will remain $3!
Upcoming Drops:
I have two drops planned! Official dates TBA.
- In September, I will drop the 2 Fruits Basket Pins, 2 JJBA fillers + Canary, Mui, Pouf, Rohan & Paku Extras.
- In October, I will have a drop with secret items (assuming all goes well). None of the art will be revealed until October, most likely.
No more details for now, but I wanted to give you a heads up since I'm constantly asked about when certain items will be restocked. :3
Neon & Botan are still in Production, which is why those haven't shipped out yet <3
.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡ NOW FOR MY FAVORITE PART!!! ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+
Variant Contest!
Since there are a bunch of new faces around here, I'll be restocking some old Patreon designs, but in NEW variants! I can't do everything at once, so they'll come in waves. For now, I've selected these 5: Bakugo, Nishinoya, Kurapika, Hisoka, & Palm.
The entire process will be dictated by all of you! You create the new variants, and you select the winning variants. The winners will receive the pin in the variant they created as a prize.
All PNG files of the Outlines are attached to this post.
Here are the rules & Guidelines:
- Create a new variant & give it a creative name.
- In your graphic, please include important specs you want included: (i.e. glitter, pearl, dyed metal, platings like rose gold, black nickel etc.).
- Once you're done, post the image in the community tab on my Patreon page! Share it on Discord too, if you'd like :)
- Deadline: Sunday August 22nd @12am PST
You can use apps like Pigment or Recolor to fill the outlines with colors. If you're savvy with Adobe Illustrator, I can send you my AI files so you can change the color of the linework with ease. Just send me an e-mail :)
Once the deadline is over, I'll go through all the posts and select a bunch for a poll!
Disclaimer: I'm assuming there will be a lot of variants with similar colors. THAT'S OKAY! Don't refrain from sharing yours if it's too similar (like pastel variants). A slight color difference can make a different pop!
Much love always,
Yvette <3

No, your previous pledges will not count. Patreon doesn't allow us to change the price of tiers that are established, so I will have to create a new tier, and you'll have to select the new tier! Or else.. you won't receive a reward
I'm so excited for the fruits basket pins and the new variants for some pins I really wanted! Thank you for spoiling us and we'll continue to support your work despite any changes! 💕
Akuma Press
hehehehe yes! You can click to a few posts back to find the images I shared ;)

Will our pledges stay intact after the price change? Or do we basically have to start over?

Yayayayay I am so excited for Fruits Basket pins, surprises, variants and all the good stuff coming from you! 💜 I'm so happy you're doing well and thank you again for all your grace and hard work! ☺️
Can’t wait to see what you’ll have in store for us in the near future ☺️❤️
