Eclair the Elephant!! She is oh so cute!! Her arms and legs look so much better with the hoof style!!

💜 add a little bit of fuzz inside the ears 
💜 make flower crown and ties minky 
💜 add lines to top of trunk, and smile underneath trunk 
💜 make her fingernails face outward 
💜 fill in booty mark with a background 
💜 fix embroidery to say "C-PTSD"

What do you guys think? Is there anything not listed here that you think would help her look better? We did also send in a drawing of how to make the trunk more 3D like so it isn't as flat! 





Thank you all so much for staying apart of this journey!! We are super excited to start releasing Series 2 ideas and list of illnesses!!

Oolong!! Our beloved! We have her second sample back, and she is NEARLY perfect! I honestly feel like she was the easiest sample yet... haha! 

She is so so cute! Here are some notable changes we requested for the next sample:

🤎 change back embroidery to "Type One"
🤎 add some fuzz to inner ears to counter her "baldness"
🤎 move eyebrows forward even more
🤎 add cutie mark on booty 
🤎 make the hooves a little darker, color of snout




Do you have any things we should change or edit? What do you think of her so far?

Hi everyone!! We have some more samples back, we are getting so close to everyone being finished once we finalize these last critters!! 

Here are some notes we gave to our manufacturer for Poppy:

🧡 move nose shape and mouth up closer to eyes & make mouth more visible
🧡 add a background border for illness label
🧡 fill in cutie mark fully
🧡 round out heating pad more - add flower embellishments and power buttons



What do you think so far of these edits? How do you like her shape and color so far (besides her mouth lol)?

Again, thank you guys so much for being so patient while we continue to get these samples tweaked!! We are already working on art for Series 2 and working on the lineup! We are so excited that these critters are so loved already.

Also, if you didn't see from Instagram, Jojo was on a radio show recently where she was able to talk about forming Chronic Critters!! It was so cool to get some air time and be able to get our brand out there for people to hear about! :,,)

📸CLOVER AND ECLAIR SAMPLE V1!!!!📸

Hi Cuddle Cove!! Clover and Eclair are here to say hello!!

Eclair is missing her flower crown- that will be made in the next sample- and will be removable so your other critters can wear it too!!


We need to change her hands and feet to the hooves that Juniper and Oolong have, as well as change her embroidery to say CPTSD instead of polycystic (no clue why that got mixed up haha)!! What changes do you think Eclair needs?

Clover is looking a little like a Shiba Inu right now… but don’t worry!!! We have several tweaks to implement on him, the first, if FLUFFY FABRIC!!! Just like Poppy, Clover will be made with bunny hair and have embroidered stripes and details!! 
He’s currently missing his NJ tube embroidery so that will be added in the next version!! 

What else should we tweak about Clover?
