Sketches, also some concepts
🕑 Added 2018-07-28 05:56:13 +0000 UTC So here's some warmup sketches I did tonight.Also I decided to start experimenting with ideas for merch, based on the surveys from a few weeks ago.
This'll be a bit rambly, so just read if you're intertested.
To give a rundown of what my plans are: Dakis and wallscrolls can be shipped in any amount, so as long as I know one will sell I can freely make it available, provided I can put in the effort. For wall scrolls, I'll maybe also make a poster version available through like redbubble, though I'd wanna talk to FDaki to make sure it's not conflicting merch wise. Otherwise, for both of them I can make as many different kinds as want, so it's just what I think is worthwhile.
Wallscrolls are basically just large, durable prints (60cm x 90cm) and honestly I think Fdaki may be on par with Redbubble's costs, which is nice. These have the fewest constraints overall.
For dakis, I've already got a Pivot daki available, actually. I've been debating making a V2 of it, shown here, but likewise I also could do some of ANY character hypothetically (of my own, that is. I won't do one of Mimi or Socket, however.) The only constraints are: 1:3 aspect ratio (very tough to work with), and potentially have to make two versions.
Mousepads have an MOQ of 10, so if there's a bit of interest in something and kinda guaranteed purchases, they're alright to order. I don't wanna make too many though because of this, so I'd need to find out which designs would be popular or preferred. Alt versions aren't as possible. Pivot's butt was a popular option, but surprisingly so was the Demon Queen.
Acrylic figures unfortunately have an MOQ of 50, so preorders may be necessary. Fdaki is rightful hesitant over them because they're hard to sell, however I think doing a more anime-style one is way easier to sell. I have two concepts displayed: one that uses the full 1:2 ratio, and one that's half and may not be viable cause of it. Stands I'd try to make more chibi-ish, sfw, and fun, kinda like the ones for Girl's Frontline or various other anime properties.
So, what characters of mine would you wanna see on merch, and in what nature? Particularly the more flexible options, but I'm open to suggestions. Mimi, Socket, Pivot, and the Demon Queen were the top 4 choices, though Cesil and Flux were also up there.
