Viva Piñata acrylic pin designs I made, I was going to sell them like I did with the acrylic standee but shipping items out is just too much for me, so instead I am going to be using a POD (Print On Demand) service that allows you to make a store and sell product there… that way it’s easier for everyone!

I’ve never really opened a store or anything and honestly I don’t really have any interest in it until my partner comes to Canada and starts living with me so just being able to make merch designs and put them up on this website is really nice for me

Keep this post saved if you want any (they will be 2’5 sized except for the whirlm which is 1’5 sized and will have front side glitter epoxy), I will be posting videos when the prototypes arrive and a link to the storefront

Also have to say I really love how the wiki looks!

Hi! Thank you so much, I'm glad you're liking the wiki!

Making the renders was a long process but i think it was worth it. Essentially i took the renders seen in the official prima guide, cut them out, and put them on a blank background i also edited myself. It involved a lot of cleaning up as the selection tools were harder to use and i found it easier to just manually erase things myself. Some pinatas had screentearing i also had to clean up lmao.

They pretty much all needed color correcting too since the printing made them all super desaturated. Only one that really gave me trouble with that was Camello cause of its weird color scheme and tbh im stil not that happy with that one so i might try fixing it again lmao.

The pdf of the guide has kinda bad quality for all the images but its the best i could do, you dont really notice the less than great quality from a distance anyways. Overall im happy with how they look and think they match the official renders well.

And yes! You are completely free to use the renders as you please! These were made specifically for the wiki and thus are free to use, credits appreciated but i wont mind too much lmao. And actually i still have all the transparent versions of the pinatas i did. Most of them arent color corrected, but Sweetle actually is since it's one of the first I did. So here you go, as a treat.

☆Day 21: Snack☆

"Sweetle (Sweet + Beetle), the Candy Shell Pokémon. This Pokémon have an outer shell that looks like hard candy. Because of their small size, they do get mistaken as candy by other Pokémon, leading to them being heavily preyed upon. Unfortunately, their main line of defense is to release a strong scent resembling that of sugar, which has not helped their numbers. Preservation efforts have been made mandatory as these Pokémon would likely otherwise be extinct. They do make good companions to those in the candy-making profession, as they produce a sweet and very tasty "honey" that varies in flavor by diet."

Inspired by a little beetle I saw in our driveway today. Part of the Faketober Art Challenge by @xeeble !
