Hello everyone the biweekly blog post is finally here! Excuse the tardiness.
As many of you have noticed I finally figured out how to make sticker sheets! I'm so happy I can make these now and hope to make more sticker sheets in the foreseeable future. I have a few ideas but I'm not fully sure on them right now.
I've also started working back on my buttons pins! I decided to try with just a two pack to see how you all like them, they are meant to pair with my capys in wonderland sticker sheet. I have an idea for my next button set, which will be motivational buttons, featuring a variety of normally slow animals within the animal kingdom. I hope you will all like those when I decide on the design for them, I have not worked on the sketching phase just yet.
You may have also noticed that some of my old stickers have gotten a upgrade! Including some stickers that were in bundles are slowly getting updated as well, I want to eventually just turn them into sticker sheets instead of sticker bundles. As for updating them I feel they didn't fit to well with my style right now, so I want them to be more coherent with the rest of my products. As for the older ones or some newer ones getting a face lift, I'm doing this to again make them coherent and I feel they look better with their fresh coat of paint. They also fit well into the rest of my designs. Its just the matter of updating them, as its quite a few stickers to update but I want to eventually have them all being within the same style and also reflecting my art style now compared to then, since I've improved quite a lot!
I've also started Listing some of my stickers on Esty again as well. I've done this to help garner a following but also test and see how these stickers do on etsy. My goal is to not stay on etsy though and eventually run my own website through payhip, at least until I can afford to run it through shopify possibly. Who knows I might just continue to run my shop through here. Do not worry I'm still focusing on here as well, alot of my products will go up here first until I can afford to list it on etsy, as sometimes .20 cents can go a long way and add up after a while. So far I have listed my sticker sheets on there and plan to add more of my stickers and buttons on there. I have a few stickers on etsy that I'm considering updating but I'm not to sure since they are fanart, but if you want to see them and are curious about my etsy then check out this link here -> https://www.etsy.com/shop/BreepacaArt
Now on terms of coloring books, I'm going to try to get them into being physical copies, possibly on amazon. So far the only one that I could add is my dinos on the farm coloring book, however its missing one more page, once I figure out the next page for that one then I will list it on amazon. They will cost the same price as the digital copy, but will feature a cute colored version of the front and back cover. I have a few other coloring books already listed in my amazon author page. I have another idea for a cute coloring book to continue the dino coloring book series, I'm thinking perhaps a cute fantasy adventure theme, but its still in the planning stage. If you would like to see what I've created then you can go to my author page here -> https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0DB4XSY37
The food coloring book was changed to be more relevant to my style, after working on the Boop A Cat game my art improved so much. Which you can see a coloring book for that as well!
Now about the game I mentioned, I've gone through and redid the concept art and like it better then what I had, unfortunately I have to redo the backgrounds due to not understanding perspective. Sadly the motivation for that has not been there, but I know I want to get them done and have all the frames for the character and pets done, I've also come up with a few other extra scenes for the game. I want this game to be casual, but also funny for anyone to enjoy, and have a few refences within the game that I can have. Most could say I just want it to be perfect and honestly I do want it to be perfect, I want it to be a game not only I could enjoy but others could just kick back and enjoy as well. While also bringing smiles to others faces.
I have worked on a few games if you are interested in checking them out I've provided links below, why not go and give them a look!

I also have a new idea for the website, I want to have a mystery dice roll, in which I will roll a d4, d6 and a d10 dice (for ones not familiar with these dice they are just a 4 sided, 6 sided, and 10 sided dice used commonly in dungeons and dragons campaigns) in which I pick stickers or sticker sheets based on your roll. I want to have an chose between either if you would like me to upload a YouTube short of me rolling the dice or it be a full mystery. I'm still debating on the reroll offer and how that will fit into the dice rolls, maybe I'll offer rerolls if I roll a certain number, and you can tell me which number. This is still in the planning phase but its something I do want to offer, I even have an idea of what the image will look like for the shop in my mind I just need to sketch it out. I hope you all will enjoy it, I think it would be a fun way to connect with you all, while offering a fun way to make sticker mystery packs instead of just the oops mystery bags. Don't worry these stickers and sticker sheets will not be B-Grade stickers, I will make sure they are A-Grade Stickers before I put them in their little mystery packet. Which I got some cute little envelopes to go with this idea! I want to try and make packaging a bit more fun and fit more with my style and vison I'm going with. Just as I was writing this my new little envelopes showed up! It will only fit stickers and not sticker sheets, but that is alright I will eventually be able to do a full overall of how I package my products, that will fully reflect my style and hopefully always bring a smile to everyone's faces!
Thank you all for waiting for my blogpost, I'm sorry It took so long, I did not know what to write for this week, but today I felt the words come to me! I want to say to anyone else who is an artist that is struggling to make ends meet with their shop, never give up. Sometimes there is days where motivation is low and that is okay, keep going! Thank you all for reading my blog post and keeping up with my blog post and my website, I'll see you all in the next bi-weekly blog post.
Bye for now!
