Funny enough ive been thinking of making Stickers/Charms of him AND his dragon because I hardly ever see any of him

If enough people want one I will gladly make it into a thing :)! For now im working on a Shrinkydink charm of him for myself with this design

hi sunny!! was just wondering if you had any advice about opening up online shops/stores for art? because i wanna get into it some day but i’m not really sure how to go about it

helloo! ahh yeah sure, the first thing u gotta do is decide which kind of store you’re looking to make, generally there’s 3 categories that I’m aware of:

- stores that have a marketplace and will make/ship the merch for you, so you don’t have to do anything but upload your art, then they will pay you usually 5-20% of the sale price (like redbubble and other sites)

- stores that have a marketplace but you have to do take care of every other step of the production and shipment, and they usually charge a selling fee and possibly a subsciption fee (etsy etc)

- stores that just host ur store and you have to do everything by yourself, you just get charged a monthly subscription fee (bigcartel)

so it depends from the amount of time/effort you want to put into it and also which risks you’re willing to take, the first kind of store is risk-free, everything else is something you actually have to invest in in order to have merch to sell so there’s always that margin of risk, running preorders on items is a good way to play it a bit safer so you know more or less how much to order of something!

and well if you decide to go for that option that’s a lot more things to know like..shipping costs, which envelopes and packaging to get for each type of item, finding places you like to get the items done and then looking into how to prepare the files in the right format for production, and every item has several specifics of its own to choose from so it can get pretty overwhelming skdjf

I think it’s easier to just start from one type of items and then eventually expand to others, I started with acrylic charms and even now I still find them the easiest product to deal with lol (that and button pins)

well I hope this helps c:
