my redbubble will be live soon ! i uploaded 5 designs so it'll show up soon, eventually- maybe ?... I don't know, I don't know much about redbubble, oops

check back again later for links to it ! I have over 200 patterns to upload though so it's gonna take a while for I to have a full collection of my designs- message me if there's some you'd like me to prioritize uploading, I'll deal with those first

#this is taking me as long as it does because my patterns are just a nightmare to prep for print jobs #they have hard non aliased edges; lots of little pixels & unprintable colours like extra vivid blues & all #all sorts of things printers hate and can't reproduce #so I have to heavily edit them by hand; and to boot it's a case per case thing so I can't really automate it #and to boot I have not a single clue what im doing- i only have the vaguest idea of what im supposed to aim for #but no real knowledge here; i dont know shit #I also have to upscale them bc theyre 2048px squares #but for printing shit it's better if they're At Least twice that #I get to tile the patterns for some stuff like scarves n shit tho which makes me SO grateful most of my content is seamless #but still #I also just realized that i have for the third time today forgotten to go look at what margins artists set for their shit #so i'll go do that bc i dont want to be ridiculously cheaper than other people but i also dont wanna risk being unaffordable #but like holy shit it's so painfully obvious i have no idea what im doing im so sorry fhdfgbhdjk #update : seems like people don't really move that far away from the baseline prices #well thats good news #i dont want to edit the percentages for all of my shit #i'm uneasy though #bc i just. hate doing shit with no formal education on the topic whatsoever #i kind of feel like a fraud; figuring that shit on the fly as if i can rewrite the book on how to do this #im basically constantly whinning to my print engineer gothfriend for help/opinions #but im still. not at ease at all
