happykittyshop asked: Your shop has always been inspiring to me, and helped me start my own business! But then I went into making my own plushies, because I won't selling all the products I bought. Do you find original characters are more hard to get noticed than "Kawaii" products?

Answer:

Thank you!

And yes, always. People can find an attachment to a cute thing much easier than an original character. If you can firmly establish your character and foster that attachment (such as featuring them in a comic or something) then you have a higher chance of selling it, but even then it’s hard without something huge to back it like getting a movie or TV show made around them.

I was always told how much people loved my characters (Celesse, Frog, etc) but they never really bought them, not even cheap prints. And people seem to love our characters in Strays, but they rarely buy the products of them that are available.

There’s a distinct difference between getting an original character noticed and selling it. I notice a lot of original characters that I really like, but that doesn’t mean I want to own merchandise of them. When you try to sell something it has to have a broader appeal than a complex character can usually offer outside of their context.

mirusagi asked: Hello! I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of your art; everything is so adorable!!! I especially love the puddle bunnies. >u

Answer:

Welllllll, I used to get them through Printsess, but they closed and I need to find a new printer. Other people seem to be switching to either Zap Creatives or Ink It Labs, but I haven’t tried the latter yet.

lilusagi asked: Have you read, or have you thought of reading, any of the Percy Jackson books (including the Heroes of Olympus series)? And if you have, any plans on fan art?

Answer:

I haven’t read them, but I’m always open to new reading material. I’ll keep it in mind :) I can’t promise fan art, but it’s not outside the realm of possibility.

xlolliqueenx asked: I'm a bit sad that I can't buy any of your t-shirts because they won't fit a plus size girl like me :(

Answer:

I’m sorry :( I do offer up to 2XL, but I realize women’s shirts run small. I’ll look into possibly offering unisex plus sizes in addition to the women’s shirts.

machati-deactivated20200909 asked: I see you're not going to Anime Boston this year, but do you think you'll be going in the future?

Answer:

That is a con I want to attend, it’s just a liiiiiittle far from where we live. We may go one year, but I can’t say definitely one way or the other at this point.

lilusagi asked: First off: Yay, you answered my question!! *fangirl squee* Second: If you were to ever make yourself, or if you'd prefer, Celesse and/or Ferris into a MLP pony, what would you/they look like, and what would your/their pony name be? (Seeing as they have something punny or silly or pertaining to their cutie mark and all).

Answer:

Well, Celesse would definitely be purple, and be a pegasus. She’d likely have a cutie mark that had to do with bunnies or feathers/wings.

Ferris would probably be green and orange and a unicorn. I can only imagine his cutie mark being an acorn with a crown (he’s an elf king, and the acorn is a very old running joke).

No idea what their names would be. I’d have to think on it.

olitiau-archive-deactivated2014 asked: Hello! I'm wondering if you sell art prints online? I am interested in your G1 MLP prints but am unable to attend the Fair this year (I'm assuming you're selling them as prints there based on your descriptions). Cheers!

Answer:

I do sell prints online, mainly through my deviantART account. They don’t allow the sale of fan art, though, so I plan to offer the leftover pony prints in my Etsy store after the MLP Fair and Bronycon.
