Hi! My name is Lina – a 3D character artist by day and an Artist Alley creator by weekends and nights. 😀 Over the past two years I’ve designed plenty of merchandise for Artist Alleys such as enamel pins, acrylic charms, mousemats and mugs and have worked with various manufacturers since 2023!
Today I present to you my first Kickstarter and a new project – a Shmork plushie!
Here is Shmork – a tiny shark with legs, ready for mischief and adventure.
With your support it will be possible to bring this little guy into the world!
But who is Shmork?
Shmork is a character that I have created a long time ago, when I was a college student. Shmork is a funny, friend-shaped, mischievous shark with legs that is going through all kind of adventures in my illustrations. He is a wizard one day, a cool street kid another, and even a vampire lord! but most importantly he is a cute embodiement of my fascination and love for sharks 🙂
Shmork measures approximately 25cm /9.8” high and 35cm/13.8″ long. He is a bit chonky and measures approximately 31cm/12.2″ fin to fin! He has embroidered details: face and belly button and hearts on his little feet as well as emroidered designs on his little hoodie!
The initial goal of 5000, if reached, will go towards a Shmork in a blue/green hoodie plushie production! Every plushie tier includes free stickers and a print!:)
As of May 6th, this project has raised $4,300 of their $5,665 goal. This project has 33 days left to raise the $5,665 or it will not be funded. For a pledge of $59, you will get one plushie. For a pledge of $114, you will get two plushies.
