Sure! I'll wait then. Would have redbubble take the hit instead of you

Yup, thx, wait one week and it'll be good

Just ordered Devil's Thirst and Journey's End. Looking forward to them showing up sometime next week.

Cool!

I'll see if i do the first week cut again. When people like you buy different stuff it can be a nice thing if the cut helped. But i'm not sure, and Redbubble already does cuts pretty often, even if it seems they slowed down on this.

I get an email for 20% off like every 2-3 weeks. Has the cut and the piece being Horizon helped sales or Patreon at all?

I sold 6 since yesterday which is more than the new pieces have been selling lately on their first day, so it may be the effect of the cut but hard to say. It was also retweeted by guerilla and 98 times after that so it may hae helped. And i got only 1 new patron today (i reached 50!).

So yeah difficult to say.

By the way this is the Chrono piece incoming next week.

And i'll start the voting process tonight for the week after.
(I let them pick one game then i chose the 10 first and i do a poll with that)

 

[orioto]

So the finalist for this month's vote was Shovel Knight and Monkey Island lol, nice surprise!

SK won by 2 votes!

Ok this Shovel Knight one is really great. I'm gonna have to make a new wall in my house to put this on.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Oratio, how have no game devs hired you to do official boxart or something?

This, jesus. We have to get our bro going viral or something. You need to be the new Smooth McGroove. But for art.

That Shovel Knight one...jesus. I want it as a canvas on my wall.

Well they know me and they don't offer me any job At least some of them know me and sometimes personally, but none of them will ask me for any official art.

Really ? hmm, well i didn't sell any so i won't do more like that at least. People like it on the web but if nobody buys it it must not be a good shirt lol. At some point reality hits!

Woah, really cool that you do shirts too!

I'm liking the design and may buy - how's the shirt quality on redbubble?
I have bought a few on qwertee and riptapparel some time back, but I was really disappointed with the Shirt quality after a while. 2-3 times washing and they are already worn out.

I hope you stick with it and do some more shirt designs. The less text, the better

I don't know about the shirt quality on redbubble. I mean not by myself. I know i've heard it's better than society6 in that department. You can probably easily find reviews on youtube.

As for the design well i thought a lot about it and studied lots of shirts before. Cause i wanted to find some kind of middle ground between a graphic shirt and a design shirt (that most people find more easily wearable in the street). So i wanted something subtle and not too gamey, thus the idea of a fake club shirt.

But maybe my usual audience would actually prefer something more graphic i don't know. I just know i didn't sell any I'd love some input from people here so i know what would be attractive. Shirts could give me a pretty good supplementary income but it needs to sell a certain volume.

Well, you just sold one

I'll give it a try, I like the design enough and I love the stuff you do... Never bought something though, because most of it is a little above my price limit - but if the shirt fits and the quality is good enough, I could see myself buying one every once in a while. I really like your designs, so I'd love to wear some of those - not literally your posters, since they might not make a good shirt (they make fantastic wall art though), but your art style.

Just to give you an idea, what some of the shirts are that I bought and liked so far:

And my favorite game related shirt:

They don't have to be subtle about being about movies/games/whatever, but I don't like it when they hammer it home and are too much in your face. I don't like too much text in my shirts and if I chose to wear something about a game or a movie, it better be a good design
The thing is - most of the sites that have a daily shirt on rotation mostly offer black shirts. I don't like that too much. Many of them are way too busy or feature too much text or try to be funny when they aren't...

This is on daily rotation on a site today. The left one is way too busy and tries to bee way too clever for it's own sake. The middle one I don't really care for, but I can't nail why and the right one I might even buy, but not as a black shirt.

No idea, if this is in any way useful to you.
I'll remove those pictures if they clutter up your thread too much.

Have you ever tried submitting designs to teefury or other shirt a day sites? I believe you only commission $1 to $2 per shirt but they have a much wider audience. This shirt in particular would do great, I think.

Thx for your inputs! I guess many people want many things anyway. I thought about doing 2 alternate versions of the shirt to try. One completely design, more like a logo with the flower and the climbing shirt text, and one without the text and more graphic with a bigger motif on the shirt. Maybe my actual design is to in between.

I only tried a long time ago on threadless cause i know this one and they were giving you money once and for all, like 2k. I don't know how other sites work.

I'd definitely second this idea Orioto.

Sites like Ript Apparel, Teefury, TheYetee, all pay per shirt sold like Chairhome says above. It wouldn't hurt to try, especially as remember that as well as on their site the shirts also get posted on their social media, with most of them having facebook followers in the hundred thousands.

They do quite often have Zelda/gaming related designs on there so they must be decent sellers and designs they'd be interested in, plus it's getting your work out a larger audience as well.

Yes i've looked at teefury as i bought something from them a while ago i think. Now they ask for haltone colors, so that's a bit more complicated!

Yep, that's true either way. Just do the designs you want to. Judging from your previous work, I'm sure that I'll like most of what you'll do either way

Congrats on the Bungie shoutout, Orioto! Hope it translates to plenty of sales.

It won't, they linked to deviantart There is an internet rule. if you give a link, maybe 10% people will follow that link. If there is a link after that link, then maybe 5% of that 10% will follow this one...

Also there is a chance they remove it from Redbubble now lol. But Guerilla featured me to on twitter and didn't remove it after after all.
