Sometimes I really have to marvel at my own wild spontaneity
so I stopped at the dollar store after work, to get more bait for my havahart trap
and I spy in the sale rack a pack of those "Hello My name is..." stickers peeking out from the pile
I dig through and find six more packs, for 30 cents a piece, and have a great idea SILLY CHEAPO BADGES FOR ALL :D
"dont want to buy a 30$ laminated badge, but still want people to know who you are? LOOK NO FURTHER"
or at least that was my general idea XD
so I ran home and did four test badges for myself, guggles, Sharkhead, and Blitz.... just to see if they wouldnt turn out like total shit because I havent done traditional art in forever and I was never too good with markers
but the test ones turned out great, AND I JUST KEPT GOING :D
so I just thought I'd push my skills and make a bunch of badges as examples and gifts for some of my fave artists :D
I hope none of you mind that I used your charachters
and if you want your respective sticker I can mail it to you, if you'd like c:
also I think I'm going to offer these as my first real comissions, if anyone would be interested, because they were so fun and fast and easy to make. I really just loved sitting down and cranking them out for some reason
I was thinking they could be like, 2$ a piece, so I can pay for letters and stamps to ship them all out in. Does that sound like a fair price? idk I've never done comissions before so I wouldnt know :T
also the colors are totally more vibrant on the original ones
my scanner just decided to bleach them a bit for some reason :/

Oh goodness, these are fantastic!! I absolutely adore the idea. ;; My favourites are Blitz, Shark Head, Anjila, and, of course, mine! x) It's a very cute concept, and I definitely think you could make these for commissions. I'd definitely charge more than $2 though! Don't undersell yourself! I'd say at least 5, but you could probably even do more than that, with the amount of detail in these.
Thank you so much!! <3
Thank you so much!! <3
Thanks! :D I love the blitz and sharkhead ones the most too, but they all turned out way better than I expected.
I guess I could charge 5$ for them, but I just feel like they really arent worth that much because they are just little one-use stickers
but I imagine you could stick them on some bristol board or laminate them on your own or something, to make them more re-usable
No problem hon, and if you want me to mail you yours just shoot me a note or something.
they are small enough that I can just throw them in a postage letter and mail them pretty cheap c:

Thanks! I'm glad you like them :D I tried to make them reflective of each person's individual style and likes/hobbies
I was really freaking out about yours when it came to coloring because I diddnt have any prismas that matched your shade of tan, but I mixed a few together and I think it turned out pretty okay c:
and like I said, I'll mail you yours if you'd like
I dont know how well they would survive being in a regular letter though, with like bending and rain and such
because they arent laminated or anything, just stickers covered in prisma markers :/

Thank you @u@ I just went crazy with each one, and it was a blast doing them and getting back into the swing of doing traditional art :D
NAHHHHh I couldnt charge ten bucks for these silly little things, that's way too much XD
I just wanted to make something simple and cheap that everyone and anyone could afford, and that would get my name out there on the market at the same time ;3
I think I might take Quaggy's advice though, and bump them up to like 3-5$ depending on their complexity, because if I really get into these things then my prismas are going to run out fast and I'd need some cash to go buy another set, lol!

I think I might charge 3-5$ depending on the complexity now, like 3$ for a colored background, but white charachter (which actually looks really cool) and 5$ for one that is full color or has a really complicated charachter design or something. And the only reason I'm upping the price is just incase my old prismas start to die, which some already are, and I need to buy a new set to make more badges XD
but shoot me a note and we'll talk about it, okay! :)

OH my, that is actually REALLY REALLY ADORABLE. And no, I don't mind you doing this at all! Haha. This is so cute, I had considered doing something like this before because I had seen HELLO MY NAME IS stickers at Kinko's, but god, I would not be able to work in such a tiny space! Kudos to you for being able to! ;lkjfaskjlfd;asjldfasdf I would definitely want mine mailed if you don't mind. xD!
I've been to a few cons, and I have two badges, but unfortunately, I use them for decoration. I could totally laminate this (Yes, I know it's s sticker, but one use? PSSSHAW.) and use it for when I got to AWA in September! <3
Thank you so much!

Eh, everyone's been saying to up the price, but to be honest, I dont really care much about making a huge profit off these things
I mean, 5$ is really as high as I want to go on these, because they dont take me long and they really are pretty simple
and I have a job, so its not like comissions are going to be a vital part of my income, just a little money on the side and some marker practice
and this way more people can afford them as well, which is always nice. c:

I knew someone must have thought about something like this before me, but it just seemed like something fun to do so I went for it XD
and for some reason I work really well in small spaces, but working on a larger scale is harder to do. I guess that's just the way I roll, lol.
and yeah, you could probably stick it to some bristol board or other paper and laminate it, I dont really know how well the markers/paper will laminate but I can always make you another one if it turns out badly! X3
Just throw me a note with your address and I can mail it out to you tomorrow before work c:

BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MANY CUTE CHUBBY CHARACTERS, GOSH. >u<;
yeah, I think the consensus is around 5$, give or take
just in case my prismas take a shit on me, which would just be my luck
although then I could buy a nice set of Copics :3
GIMMIE YOUR ADDY, SO THAT I CANSTALK YOU MAIL YOU THEM! ;D

I love how much personality are in all of these oh wow ;A; even the names fit the characters I love it!! and I agree, $5 sounds like a really good starting price for these! I can't get over how amazingly well you drew Summer, you captured her personality perfectly and got every bit of her features down to a tee. ;3; it's okay if you don't remember or don't wanna check but what colors did you use for her?? cuz I STRUGGLE SO BAD finding her colors traditionally and you basically nailed them and I must have whatever you're using aa!!
but thank you so much for including me, I'm really really flattered and I love it so much, this is such a cute idea! I can bug ya with my address if you don't mind sending them out, and I wouldn't mind throwing down a little bit of money to cover shipping and stuff too :3

Thanks! :D I'm glad I could capture your character so well, and in such a limited space! :)
uhhhh, I used prismacolor markers and a Faber Castel "Shades of Grey"brush marker kit. I think I used the "tuscan red" prisma (PM-169) for her nose and pawpads, and the "dark brown" (PM-88) for her ears and paw. Then I filled in her face with the "light tan" prisma (PM-95) and overlapped that with the Faber Castel #272 marker to get the darker shade of the majority of her head, the muzzle and eyebrow are where it isnt overlapped and only the light tan shows through.
and they didn't come out this exact color, my scanner kind of darkened them a smidge, so the actual badge is a tiny bit lighter and more vibrant.
you can just send me a note with your address and I can ship it out, and I dont need any shipping really, its just snail mail so it isnt that expensive XD
Thanks again for letting me use your character! I really like her design ;D

Oh gosh, these are awesome. Amazing what ideas can spawn from a trip to Dollar General. And I love that you included Rooc! Thanks so much C:
How would I go about getting mine sent to me? I have no clue how Paypal works with money stuff for shipping and whatnot, so I may need help with that.

Thanks! :D I'm glad you like it! I adore your cutesy style and just had to try and draw myself a reille X3
I'm mailing these examples out to everyone for free if you would like yours. They are just little stickers but you can probably stick them to a piece of bristol or cardboard and reuse them over and over.

No problem hon, I'm glad I could do your character justice, I'm not too used to drawing avians/beaks XD
everyone's been telling me to charge more for these things, but I dont really feel like going over 5$ for them; just to keep them cheap so anyone can get one. Plus I bought a ton of them at the dollar store, so I kind of want to get rid of them all, lol.

;_; !! you are so kind to say such things! also... i hate for this to be "ONE OF THOSE" comments, but i love these and i'd buy some if i had the spare cash ;_; i think these would look fantastic all over a sketchbook ... maybe i can barter something for a couple;;! i hate even suggesting that though because i'm sure you're in need of money as well
in any case <3 i love them and i'm totally surprised your slots aren't filled up :/ you have such a great style!

ohmygosh, I'd TOTALLY trade you for a few of these! I did the same thing for :usericononyxnineteen: and traded her for two of her little laminated chibis, so maybe something small like that? idk let me know what you think! :3
I honestly dont really need the money anyway, that's why I'm selling these so cheap when people have been telling me that I should up my prices and not undersell myself; plus, I assumed if they were cheaper then I would sell more of them, but unfortunately that wasnt the case XD

oh that's so kind of you <3 i would LOVEEE to have some of these on my sketchbooks :D i've been making some cute laminated badges lately if you're interested in those at all :3 they're the first few images in my current uploads ... let me know what you think when you get a chance to check it out! :)
OMG YESSSSSSS those things are so freaking adorable! @u@ I'd love to trade you for those!
I dont know how big yours are, but my stickers are only like 2"x3", so idk how trading would go as far as what we trade for
depending on how many stickers you want, we can trade one-for-one: one badge sticker for one laminated badge; but considering yours are much higher quality of art and laminated, I wouldn't mind trading two-for-one, in other words, for every two stickers I do for you, you do one badge for me.
Its all up to you though, so whatever you think is a better deal for you based on your time, effort, and materials used; just let me know! :)
(and I can do however many stickers you would like, because i still have at least 100 spare stickers to use up! D: )

oh that sounds lovely <3!! i probably don't have time to make more than one unfortunately, BUT ... ITS TOTALLY OK if you just make me one :D those things just take forever and i hardly have any freetime lately ;_; ... they measure about 3-4" (roundish), but still somehow take me about 3 hours start to finish. MAY BE because i'm such a perfectionist D:
haha ;; well, anyhow! i am totally fine with one for one ... i'd love to do more for you but i just don't have time! but i really like your stickers <3 if you want to note me a ref or something i'll do the same :D <3 yay
