Nyria Dakimakura/Body Pillow?
2 years ago
Heyo!
So, I've been asked about a Nyria body pillow and, while I don't think I'll be getting myself such an actual, physical, real-world object any time soon, I'm not opposed to having a pattern available for other people who might want to snuggle a DeiTea. But! I don't know much about how these things work, as far as the ordering goes. I mean, commissioning the digital image itself should be straightforward, it's the turning it into an actual pillow(case), that I'm not sure about. I don't want to deal with ordering a bunch, having to store them at my home, and ship them out myself as orders slowly, maybe trickle in. I'm guessing that at least some artists either have storefronts where you can order dakis directly through them? Maybe other artists will just allow you hand out the full-res image file to interested parties so they can take it to their preferred pillow printer and have it made themselves?
I guess I've got three main questions:
1. Do you have any recommendations for dakimakura artists? For context, the original inquiry came up with this image. Personally, I think a daki by Smile would look amazing, but unfortunately, she's unavailable to me for the foreseeable future. Also, not actually sure if she even does dakis. I am thinking someone with a similar ultra-soft style would be preferable, though.
2. Do any of you have experience with commissioning a body pillow design and making available to the public? How did it go? What's important that I should know? There's a few artists watching me, any of you have experience with this from the artist's side?
3. How many of you would be interested in this and what would you like to see on a Nyria body pillow? The "how many" is just curiosity, since you'll have to order the physical items yourselves, but the content is important. Currently just have an idea for the front: Nyria lying back with a cup of tea. That seems like a fine idea, though I'm interested in hearing other ideas for the front. Also need ideas for the back. And in general: Clothed? Lingerie? Nude with (in)convenient censors? Hyper-lewd?

I have a nude variant but it's not on Aomori's gallery. I highly recommend her if you can swing the $800 or so bucks it cost me.
I rarely, if ever say this about characters that aren't mine but I would get a Nyria daki. I LOVE kirin (I have like 5 kirin OCs myself) and her design is gorgeous.
That's an awesome looking daki you got! Aomori does have a soft looking style that seems ideal for dakis, so thanks for the recommendation, I'll put her on the short list.
Thanks for the manufacturer recommendation as well! Their prices seem reasonable. How do you like the material?
I'm curious, was this daki just for you, or have ypu or Aomori made it available for others as well?
Aww, thank you! Glad to hear you like Nyria's design!
I love the material. It's two-way tricot, it's very stretchy and cool. I've had it for almost 4 years and it's spent pretty much every night in my bed. There is a lot of pilling on the fabric over time and honestly I should order another one, but from my understanding that's just the nature of the material. It's a lot more preferable to sleep with than peach skin, the alternative, which I have also owned. The print quality on peach is not as good and it has no stretch, but it's much more durable.
The design was just for me! It's not sold anywhere except for some AI upscaled Chinese knockoffs :(
