Theme ideas and Halloween Merch - Looking for feedback! (Patreon)
Content
Hey patrons! I have two things I'm looking for some feedback on.
First is related to next month's theme! I'm not sure what I wanna go with.
I have a list of ideas, but none in particular are really jumping out to me. Here's a list of a few I could try:
- Pirate month - pirate themed girls, or open it up to any character and give them a pirate outfit. Maybe make the cards like a captain and first mate.
- One Piece month! - I try to stray away from specific series for the reward themes, since not everyone is gonna be into a single series...
- Food theme - This one a little vague. I was thinking something like having people suggest characters, and I'd draw them eating burgers and milkshakes or something. It could be funny/cute.
- Fantasy theme - characters in fantasy garb
- Superhero month - self explanatory. I've considered a full Marvel or DC month, but I worry about people losing interest if I get too specific.
If you have a suggestion for a theme, or if you have any thoughts on the ones I listed, leave a comment below!
---------------------
The second and maybe more exciting topic I wanted to talk about is the upcoming Halloween merch! I'm gonna be starting on new stuff this August so I can have it all ready to sell and ship in early October.
I'm gonna list a bunch of ideas that I'm considering for different products. Obviously I can't do all of these, so Comments and Feedback on your favorites would be very helpful in helping me decide on which ones to prioritize.
Stickers:
- Sexy spooky girls set: Raven, Dracula, Dark Magician Girl, Harpy Lady, other yu-gi-oh monster girls, thriller bark outfit Robin, Lady D, Jinx, Panty & Stocking as devils
- Ghost pokemon
Charms:
- Beetlejuice + Lydia + Sandworm
- Yamato (not really halloweeny, but eh)
- Boo, possibly Bow from paper mario - 2 sided - Laughing face on one side, scary face on opposite side
- Jinx - double sided, 2nd side is grafitti'd up
- a new Shaker charm - Maybe skull shaped, with an open mouth with a monster girl inside that can be shaken around.
Cards:
- Goth queens Set #2 (continuing the first set from last year) - I'm considering: Lydia Deetz, Nadja (What we do in the Shadows), The Sanderson Sisters (From Hocus Pocus, together on one card), Bride of Frankenstein, and if I follow the first set's pattern of having a cartoon character be number 5, maybe Eda from Owl House would be a good pick?
- Other characters to consider: Raven, Mavis, Lilith Clawthorn, Maleficent, Perona, Jinx. I'd love to hear more suggestions, both live-action and cartoons.
Standees:
- Raven - maybe something with her magic forming a giant raven behind her.
- Harley Quinn - I'm not sure which version of her, but it'd probably be double sided.
- Not really a halloween theme, but I had this dumb idea to make a standee of Morshu and his shop from the Zelda CDI game, LOL. I think people might buy it because it's dumb and funny.
Prints:
- Continue the Harley Quinn outfit pinups - Suisquad 1 outfit, Classic DCAU outfit, Arkham Knight outfit
- Darkstalkers girls
- Something involving my Universal Monstergirl OCs - Dracula, Frankenstein, and Wolfman - maybe styled like a vintage poster?
- Perona from One Piece - made in a similar style to the "WANTED" Nico Robin print I made a while back.
OTHER:
- Washi tape - Maybe themed after my Dracula OC
- Zipper Pouch - plenty of theme ideas; maybe Harley Quinn or a mix of goth girl characters?
- Boobie mousepads - still an idea I want to try out, but the shipping on them is still pretty crazy expensive.
Please leave a comment below with your thoughts on these product ideas, or if you have suggestions for different merch I would love to hear it!
