Catch up~

Okay, so a lot has happened recently and I’m excited to share some things!
Firstly though, here’s what I got up to during October, in the lead up to Halloween-

I gave myself from the end of september to Halloween to finish a special picture (actually, I ended up working on 3 😂) and here’s the result that was posted on the night-

I dipped out of my comfort zone to play around with colour and lighting and it looks kind of cute! ^^

[I could have finished sooner, but I’ve been ill since September and struggling a bit (..well, more than usual) with energy levels.. October was real rough.. a little TMI, but there you go 😂]

Anyway, to make up for no Pip or Treats this year (and taking my time to finish), a colouring sheet was also uploaded to the P+T twitter page for people to colour in either digitally or traditionally (or even both! 😂)

If I get the time, I’m definitely going to fix this up because I’ve noticed that some lines don’t connect, which would probably be a headache for anyone who likes to fill in flat colours with a paint bucket tool.

so that was Halloween! Now, let’s move to the festive treats I have lined up for December/christmas-

I’m working on lots of printables including card designs and this little paper decoration set ^^/

I’ll go into more detail about how paper decorations work in a later post, but they have been pretty popular these last few years, so I thought I’d join in with some P+T designs this year! 😊

So, the last piece of news is that I’ve made a… pretty big investment recently that will push the speed of making the merch that was promised maaaaaany years ago 😂

Update (and message about domain name)!

It’s been a while.. again (sorry) 😂💦 but the comic is finally off hiatus!🎉🎉

So here’s page 2 of this new chapter! It’s a bit of a sappy one, but it’s fun kind of sweet when Pip accidentally says what he’s really thinking X)

As always, you can catch up with the story here

Another announcement is that.. our domain name has expired 😂 I did try to renew it, but there were some.. issues..

It’ll be back eventually though! Obviously, you can still read the comic at this wordpress address and our grossly under-updated tapas, but look out for a domain name update in the near future 😂✨

Merch update!

Things are finally moving forward with P+T merch!!🤩

I’ve been working really hard today, trying to figure out the new printer (they’re much more complicated than they used to be!!😂), but I think I’m finally getting somewhere!!

Look at the cute Pips!!! 🤩 I’ve used FNF BF as a test subject too (I’ve been playing obsessively since January😳💦) because I usually give him luminous blue hair (I draw him a lot, he’s a comfort character) and I wanted to see if the printer could handle that kind of colour.. sadly, it cannot😂

It took a lot of time to figure out the right settings for these tests.. mostly because I was using normal quality settings for high quality print paper!😂 I bought higher quality paper for A5 prints, but I thought I’d try it out with these little illustrations and I’m pretty impressed! I’m kind of excited to do some A5 prints now😊
Sticker paper is on the way though! Should be here Friday~✨

Ohh, looking at this photo- sizing has been an issue too.. I think the best thing to do in the future is to use an A4 preset, just to get an idea of how big designs will be on paper.

I’m so happy with how things are going!
Along with selling online, I really want to step out of my comfort zone and start selling at conventions.. which is a terrifying thought, but it would be such a good experience and a step in the right direction for doing something that I’m so bad at– PROMOTING!!😂
My anxiety holds me back from promoting because, as much as I want my work to be seen, I also DON’T want it to be seen, if that makes sense?💦
Tagging is one of the biggest ways to get yourself seen online. I used to tag stuff ALL THE TIME in my Tumblr days, but all the exposure I let my Tumblr site get resulted in me leaving because I became kind of famous in a certain area *coughBLgamingandtranslationscough* and had too many followers, it became way too much for my anxiety to handle 😂💦 Because I did that to myself, I now rarely tag anything I do (if people find me, they find me) and exposure for the comic and characters is at an all-time-low, especially now that I don’t have Smack Jeeves to help out either.
Hopefully conventions will help! And selling stuff online, just getting the P+T name out there😊
