ALL GONE! Making custom Myst pendants

For $100, I will make you a round brass or copper pendant with any design from Myst, Riven, or Uru, and I'll donate 90% of that to Cyan's Kickstarter (keeping $10 to partially cover the cost of materials and shipping).

When I was in middle school and high school, Myst fandom brought me to 3D modelling, Python, and HTML. (This was way more advanced than anything my school's computer lab offered--I think that Excel was the most technical thing you could take a class on.) Techie know-how eventually led me to my career as a programmer, but more than anything, I wanted to build worlds. Still do. I want Cyan's Kickstarter to succeed flawlessly, and I also want to give my 14-year-old self the best present ever: their $1,100 "Become the Strata 3D Artist" tier. Being able to model something for their new game would be the chance of a lifetime! So I'm fundraising with my metalwork to get there. I'm only offering this custom work to 10 people right now.

If you want to help and get something really cool in the process, email me (riv@purpleshiny.com) with the subject "Fundraiser" to claim your slot and we'll work out the details

You'll get your pendant no later than April 2014, as soon as I can manage it and before I start stocking Myst-related stuff in my Etsy shop. So you (along with some high-level Unwritten backers) will be among the first to own my Myst-inspired metalwork.

Possible designs include Gehn's crest, the Hall of Kings floor decoration, the star fissure, the animal icons from Riven, the journey cloth symbol, the Moiety dagger... pretty much anything that I can trace to a solid black-and-white shape. The pendant will be heavy-duty metal with beveled edges, a rich patina, and a shiny finish. The necklace will be thick leather cord with a locking magnetic clasp (vegan alternative to leather will be available by request).
