🔒 Limited by Design: Created & Minted Editions

Pixel Paws concepts aren’t infinite templates—they’re curated runs. Each concept has a fixed number of artworks that will ever be created, and an even smaller number that will ever be printed and minted as physical pieces.

🖌️ Created Editions

The total number of digital artworks we will ever produce for a specific concept/version.
Once the Created limit is reached, that concept/version is closed permanently.

🖼️ Minted Editions

The physical, printed works produced from Created Editions.
Only a subset of Created works are ever minted—keeping physical pieces rare and collectible.

The constant rule: every concept (and every version of a concept) has finite Created and Minted limits—once closed, it never reopens.

🔁 Concept Versioning (When a Chapter Evolves)

Sometimes a concept evolves—special event runs, seasonal releases, or meaningful refinements inspired by our community. When that happens, the original version is never altered or reopened. We introduce a clearly labeled new version, and it receives its own Created and Minted limits.

Think First Edition → Second Edition. Not reprints. Not reruns.

❓ FAQs

How many pets can be included in one portrait?

Many concepts support one or multiple pets. Each product page lists what the concept supports.

What makes a great photo upload?

Clear, well-lit photos where your pet’s face and markings are easy to see. A mix of angles helps. No professional photography needed.

Will you change a concept after I buy?

Your purchased version is never changed or reopened. If we evolve a concept, it becomes a new, clearly labeled version with its own limited edition counts.
