I feel like fantasy pin making has just gone down the toilet in the past year and a half. Too many people jumping in the game, too many people stealing artwork especially from Disney Japan artists, lack of quality control, and so much pin cost inflation. And it's gotten to where you could once expect fantasy pins to be STUNNING quality, , whereas now the people making them don't know WTF they're doing when it comes to ordering direct from a Chinese factory and you get terrible line-work, wonky colors, etc. Part of the reason I started with fantasy pins was because they looked better than a lot of official Disney character pins. Now... not so much!
