Weekly Printables!
Firstly, thank you for the views on the printable decorations! I don’t push P+T too much, so I wasn’t expecting to get many, but I’m very happy with the traffic they brought to the site :’3
Secondly- I’m back with more printables! ^^/
This one was a passion project because I love getting organised with planners, it helps so much for special projects and just everyday life ^^
I’ve been using wall planners for a while now, but each week I have to add special sections to them to keep track of things (it gets a little annoying XD).
I tried keeping trackers in my diary, but I don’t always have the motivation to open it (especially on a bad mental health day), it’s just so much more handy to have everything set up on a wall :3
So, with all this in mind, I decided to invent my own little weekly Pippy planner with trackers that can be put up on a wall or even just slide into a diary (I plan to stick mine in my diary at the end of every week ^^)
The layout was fun to design (and look at happy Pip!), it’s just my personal preference, but I love it and think that other people might too!
So here it is, with both Monday and Sunday starts-
I printed off a prototype last week to use this week and it has been so nice! No giant weekly wall planner, just a minimal, yet spacious way to record special events, track things and get organised ^^
The line art versions are really nice to customise, too! Though, of course I plan to post special ones (both coloured and not) through the coming year.
Here’s Winter Pip in a cute jumper and scarf~
Planner design is new territory for me, but as I get braver, I’ll start start to tweak these even more, maybe add faded illustrations in the boxes or something ^^
One thing I really want to do is design a matching to-do list (maybe with Taka!), I think they would make a super-cute set :’3
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😊
