They're (apparently) a pain in the dick to get made, but you can literally never go wrong with a marketable plushie. Men go coo-coo for cocoa puffs about that shit. I personally would fw a themed high-heat silicone cooking utensils set, that'd be novel.
Vtubers please stop making merch for yourself!!
Most of your audience is MEN and so they do not want things like eye masks or ita bags!
You have to think of your merch in terms of what your AUDIENCE would want, not what YOU want!
If you, as a commissioned artist, communicate a timeframe for the completion of the work you're being paid for, and then proceed to not hold yourself to said agreement and substantially overshoot it, especially without adequate communication, you deserve the ridicule you get.
if youโre not okay w/ waiting as long as it takes for an artist to work, donโt commission them in the first place. artists are also allowed to do things outside of art, including playing games, & making anyone feel guilty for the time it takes them to work is a shitty thing to do
Money, personal connection, novelty, a desire to help those i care about, and anything that isnt covered by those four is handled by a heaping dose of fuck it we ball.
