Box Art Illustrations 04/24/2016

( Note from the designer )

Currently wrapping up the box art, all that’s left to do are the illustrations of the figures being featured. From top to bottom we have Street Art Cats, Day of the Dead Cats, and Lucky Cat. Sorry this was not posted sooner, I have been very sick and I am now slowly getting over this nasty cold. Solid line art will be done in a couple days and that will be posted.

Street Art Cats concept art. 04/20/2016

A look at one of our first themes that really kicked off a large part of Lucky Cat. The idea being mentioned is the concept of different types of felines. To the left is a Scottish Short hair while to the right is a Russian Blue. As of this time we are not showing the complete diagrams of the figures just yet, but we do want to make sure you have an idea of what is to come in the near future. 

Concept art for the box art and background art is to come within a week, that is completed art so fine line art and everything.

Day of the Dead concept art. 04/18/2016

We wanted to to give you all some examples of what the toys will look like. Here is an example of our creative development process. For our Kickstarter we will have three themes to show off. The themes will be: Two Set Basic Theme, Single Set Holiday Theme, and Single Set Basic Theme. The Day of the Dead Cat will fall under the Single Holiday Theme. For this idea we really wanted to work with bright colors but within limits. No colors that were too dark nor did we wish to tamper with neon colors. While coming up with the design we wanted to focus on a ghost-like appearance, keeping the cat flexible in a sense. We felt that short hair would do no justice, so long fluffy fur seemed like the better option.

The designs needed to have bones, but if we tried to fit the whole skeleton on there things wouldn’t play out so smoothly. So in the end it had to be simplified.

Lucky Cat Figurines 🐾

When it comes to toys, figurines, and action figures they tend to be very specific about their target audience. The details are hard to ignore, pink and pretty is strictly meant for girls and young ladies, while anything with action and violence is only to be handled by boys and young men. If you are a female looking at anything non feminine it’s viewed as odd, if your a male looking at something cute then your masculinity is doubted. Toys that are made up of female characters are for girls, toys made up of male characters are for boys. It’s something that has had it’s limits pushed, but the effort so far has only been slowly but surely.

At least not until now.Introducing the next big collection that will surely shatter those barriers, we are proud to announce Lucky Cat.

What is Lucky Cat? That is a question everyone must be thinking to themselves, and that question is perfectly understandable. Lucky Cat is a brand of cat figures that break the walls of stereotypical standards, an arrangement of cat figures that have one limit and that limit is you.These toys will represent you or a topic you love, the only one stopping the creative magic is you and you alone. The series of toys and side collectibles will come in twelve different cat breeds. From Scottish Folds to Russian Blues, and from Orange Tabbies to Ragdolls. No simple white and black cats, only breeds you find interesting and wish to add your own special tweak to it. 

They will come in many different themes, from cats that work at coffee shops to felines that tend to small animals. Holidays are also included, from Christmas to Day of the Dead, here at Lucky Cat we believe that all cultures should be valued and celebrated. Dress up a feline that is ready to solve a murder mystery, or show off one that is ready to sit down and watch some anime! 

The project’s Kickstarter is to launch June 25th in the year of 2016, to which we hope to gain the funds needed to make this idea into a reality. This toy has does have a target audience, and that audience are those that are ready to take creativity into their own hands!

Every three days starting from this post you will get a update on the current progression of the design of the toys, box art, theme ideas, and much more! As we carry on with this project we would love to get your feedback!
