This better explains what’s going on.

(I’m somehow “Premium” when I’ve sold exactly 1 sticker? Seems fishy. Will they move me down later hoping I won’t complain now?)

[image description: screenshot of an email from redbubble to me, describing their new account tier system. full transcript below the cut. end description.]

hi guys! you might notice that there aren’t any more designs listed on my redbubble store–this is in protest of redbubble’s recent change to how they take their cut. before this change, redbubble took by default 80% of the retail price of the item in “fees”. they did not give us a breakdown of those fees, but told us it went in part to site hosting and manufacture of the product. you can increase your margin, but doing so increases the final retail price of the item, so many artists don’t, or tshirts start to cost a lot of money. now, redbubble also takes a cut of the artist’s profit at the end of the month–anywhere between 25 and 50%. the percentage shifts based on how much profit the artist makes during that month–the more you make, the smaller of a percent redbubble takes out of your profit margin.

full transparency, in a good month i make about $50 from redbubble. that means i usually generate about $250 worth of sales; $200 goes to redbubble, and i keep the rest. under this new system, if i had an affected account, i would be hit with a $22 fee–meaning that at the end of the day i would only be taking home $28. that’s just over 11% of the original $250.

of course, this only applies to accounts marked with the “standard” tier. i don’t have a standard-tier account; for whatever reason, redbubble marked my account as “premium”. premium (and the higher “pro” tier) don’t pay the new fee. however, nobody knows how or why accounts are marked as premium. redbubble just didn’t tell us! they did tells us that accounts are marked by a machine. it’s unclear if it’s even possible to change tiers, or what you would have to do to qualify to do so.

TL;DR: redbubble added a new fee system that means that many artists on the platform will earn around 10% of the sale price of items from their shop, and didn’t tell anyone why certain artists were chosen or not for these fees.

Hey so with the Redbubble update I will likely be taking down my stuff and setting up elsewhere soon.

I’ll keep my support page updated.

I rewatched the Dead Space Remake play through Mark did. 

Uh...No Personalies...I also made stickers.

;) 

Working on a wip with Cross, Cody, and my OC

Just flat color and no background but I’m pretty happy so far!

I'm working on some cute stuff for Redbubble. I just think some plain stickers are always nice to have as an option....also I really like stickers.

I drew a little thing of me for my writing blog, @dorianwritesthings !! Idk if it’ll stay the profile picture or not but I’m pretty happy with it :3&

Bummer that you can’t see the shoes on the blog, but I’m too lazy to fix it x)&

I literally only remember this filler arc because of the outfits.

I found a really cute reference outfit for Kiku and knew it would fit the vibe.

My favorite way to remember to take my medicine is to think of Chopper and how proud he’d be of me to know I remembered it x)&

More edits!

Editing screen shots is my favorite lol

Also this scene makes me cry!

Who would know? How are they gonna know?

Edited screen cap from Dressrosa Arc. I’m halfway through and the fake beards still kill me xD&

Ah yes. The scariest power couple known to man.

Not me drawing myself into scenes constantly so I can pretend I’m part of the crew...of course not....

And so the one piece oc fan art dump begins! This is essentially the blog where a lot of my One piece fan art is going to be uploaded! And fan art of other things I assume...eventually.

Anyways here is my One Piece self insert character Kiku Dorian! She’s the Straw Hat look out/ Musician and ate the Bat-Bat fruit!

She joined the crew after Ussop during the “Grand Hall Arc”. Her powers include echolocation, flight, and being one fighty bean! I have her whole backstory fleshed out and she’s been written into every episode I’ve seen so far when applicable! (I’m in the middle of Dressrosa rn so shhhh! No spoilers!!)

I’ve been writing her/ myself into the anime for a long time and it’s been really fun for me. The challenge of fitting in another character while still making it seem natural to the universe is a good exercise! Essentially I type as I watch and then when I have time I draw.

In my own head, she is part of the cannon and I’ve tried to write her as such. Even though One Piece is deeply personal for me, I wanted a place to keep some of the fan art I’m proud of, but also separate it from my other blogs so here we are!

(Please don’t steal my art! Reblogs are always fine! If you wanna use it for something else, talk to me first!)
