What is Patreon

Good question! 

Right now, Patreon is sort of a niche platform, mainly known by specific fans of specific work. For instance, let's look at the a capella group Pentatonix (PTX for short). They rose to fame over the course of several years and bam! Suddenly they are YouTube celebs, with numerous TV appearances, popular song covers and fans around the world... but a big part of how they were able to do this as a career, was because of Patreon.

So, if you're wondering why I'm telling you this, a big part of the very existence of these 12 kawaii animals, depends of pledging from genuine fans. All we ask is $1/month, which you'll hardly notice and certainly won't miss. And in return for your pledge, you'll get a printable coloring sheet drawn by me, and you'll also get a 40% discount to my Etsy shop! Yay :) 

Take a look at the infographic below for an idea...

A Detailed Review of This Popular Tote Bag

Hi everyone, 

how are you doing? 

First of all, if you're one of the people who stopped me to say 'I love your bag' - thank you so much!! And I'm sorry for not being more specific with you on which character is which.

That is why today, I made a slightly awkward (just like introverted me) video to better explain the design. And yes, you can have one too, from the RedBubble shop where I sell them 😍

I admit, the lighting in our condo isn't always great... so here also is a photo from the RedBubble shop, which has a more detailed image of the 9/12 characters pictured:

Clockwise from top: Zebat, Parrofly, Beever, Octomouse, Elefox, Penguana, Froogle, Slowan, and Pandaroo. 

Buzzfeed Quiz: Which Zoo'd Character Are You?

There are 12 characters in this series, all created from 2 different animals! For instance, one of the most popular right now is the soft, fluffy and shy Rabbird - a cross between a dove and a bunny!

Each animal hybrid [friend] has a distinct personality all their own! And every fan of this series can relate to at least one of them, if not more.

How will you know what you have in common, and with whom? Just take this Buzzfeed Quiz here to find out!

It's just 7 simple visual questions, in this order: Fave Color, Dream Career, Fave Food, Best Music, Nicest Place, Best Shape and Your Zodiac Sign.

Share your results on the facebook group Zoo'd Animal Hybrid Friends!

Second Coloring Book

Hey everyone,

it feels like I haven't posted here in a long time!

Well, we went on a trip to Punta Cana earlier in January (woo-hoo), and then we all caught a flu bug which kept us down for the count for awhile (not woo-hoo).

Taken by my husband at the Bahia Principe resort

And as the flu bug went away, I began to regain some energy again. And when that happened, I was able to complete a project that was a long time coming... 

The second Zoo'd coloring book:

While the first coloring book focuses on the characters themselves, the second one has more of a focus on where exactly they live, which was a very valid point to raise. Thank you.

Each character has their own home, unique to their animal characteristics, preferences, size, or personality traits. And of course, planet Zurbpod is a small place (like Pluto), which pretty well all fits onto a map.

And this blogpost is not just about 2 coloring books I designed for you (more than 20 fun pages, including activities)...

It's also about how you can help these animals grow and flourish, by showing love for them at Patreon. When you show your love, you will get a 40% off coupon that you can use to get a discount on both coloring books, and then have hours' of enjoyment. Everyone of all ages loves coloring 😊😙

Thank you for being here with me today, and I sincerely hope you decide to take advantage of the discount, in exchange for supporting the growth of these fun sweeties. 

xoxo,

Bunny Wallet

Hello (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ


Have you seen her yet?

I'm telling you about the sparkly pink bunny, based on our Rabbird character, only sans wings.

This 'wallet' (it's actually a mini phot album) was too plain, so with some simple 'ingredients', it was improved.

-A pencil (works on the vinyl cover)
-Sparkly clear nail polish
-Fabric markers (fine permanent markers would work too)
-Pink nail polish for kawaii cheeks

See the pics below, and get the full story here!

Even if you're not using a mini photo album for a wallet (what a fun, unusual project & great way to save money!), you can still use the above list of supplies to make your own photo album cover, completely unique to who you are (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
