So I wanted you all to know I am still working away on getting more designs for my merch line. I'm currently having designs done for ChiChi, Storm, Morgan and Lefty. This one was done for Storm but it doesn't quite do it for me, but I still wanted to share it with all of you.
My favorite one I've had done is of Touché:

And I have this designer working on another concept for merch but it won't be completed until July 20 or so! This one is already implemented into a Touché hoodie available here.
This is the first I had done of Lefty but it's not quite making the cut either, but still really cute.

I am sorry I am only showing you guys the ones that haven't made the cut but I don't have anything new to show that is yet! I hope to soon, though. Fingers crossed!
Now I need opinions on Lefty's quote.
Part of me feels like the quote needs to be about "don't judge a book by it's cover" sort of feel because of how Lefty was labeled... but another side of me thinks it needs to be about "finding your person". Then another side of me is a little all over the place.
So here are two quotes that stood out to me regarding Lefty, let me know what you think of them or if you think I need to keep waiting for the right one:
Don't find fault, find remedy.
I thought this because I felt like everyone was so focused on what was wrong with Lefty, and all the reasons he had to be human-shy and uninterested in people, and they put so many labels on him that they just justified the feelings they thought he had instead of looking for solutions. I felt like it was more of a "well he has a good reason to be sad, so he's going to be sad." instead of "what are all the ways we could try to bring him joy?"
Another one that stood out to me for him is:
It's easy to judge, it's more difficult to understand.
Let me know if you like either, or if there's a quote you like even more than these. I'm not 100% committed, this is just where the current process is!
This was done of Morgan, but I couldn't seem to get a commercial license from this designer or a version without myself included in it. I am still hoping it comes through, but in case it does not, I have other artists working on Morgan's concept. (But seriously, how perfect is her foot?!)

Looking forward to hearing what my toucans+ think!
