Pokemon, Pencils, and Concept Art

Posted by Griffonmender - April 30th, 2023


It's been awhile, but I'm happy to report that I have finally completed editing the first of many concept pieces for my comic Dreamtamers:


This brings the gallery one step closer towards not only catching up to the DA account, but to the comic reupload as well.

Look forward to more concept work soon.


Furthermore, I've finally set up the Prismacolor Comparative Color Research Thread.

https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1524262#bbspost27699685_post_text

It contains a list of all of the color matches between Prismacolor pencils and other pencil brands that I have found so far.

With any luck, this thread will help to fill in the gaps.


Finally, over the past month I have put out a bunch of standalone pieces, including both original works and pokemon fanart. All of the newest works are linked below- as well as some older works still in need of ratings.


That's all for today- for now, I have six scans to finish editing for future uploads. ^ ^

It's great that you're making progress!

Off-topic but does your Redbubble store do a decent amount of business? If it does, then why would you say it's profitable? How do you run it? I ask because I'm considering opening up an account there myself.

I sell something once in awhile.
I'd get better profits from Spring, but I haven't sold anything over there yet.

Granted, I don't do a ton of advertising, but it's fairly easy to set up and a little spare change now and again is better than nothing.

If I had to pick one of out of Redbubble and Sping, I'd go with Spring.
The artist margins are higher there and the upload process is a bit more streamlined.

Redbubble has some more options in products and a feature that allows you to apply a design multiple times/ as a repeating pattern on a product, which can make a design fit on more items.

Stickers are basically impossible to design wrong and sell well on both platforms, providing you remember to use a slightly offwhite instead of true, #FFFFFF white, as the process used to turn the white vinyl bases into stickers can potentially get confused about where the design begins and the base ends.
I personally select pure white and then use the color wheel to tnt it slightly cyan so it retains its brightness.

Cool. By "Spring" do you mean Teespring? I presumed so

Yes.
