Lina's posts

@Rare: are you finding places to post? Feeling comfortable? Let me know if you have any concerns.
I myself have social anxiety so I have a lot of trouble joining a new community.

@Shadami: omg, that’s so relatable. I couldn’t sleep at all if I wasn’t on my side! I even have a routine for falling asleep where I start on one side for a little bit, then I roll over and fall asleep. I can’t sleep without switching at some point. XD

@MoodyBats: I’ll go bookmark your gallery now!! OuO

I was thinking I should do a gallery for inktober.

@Anarchist Beauty: exactly! I feel a little weird about it sometimes, like I’m stealing someone’s art. But it’s just a little print for myself so I know it’s not really. It’s just such a sensitive topic I’m always worried!

@Baku: thank you!! I wanted something short enough people could remember and would know what to call me. Lina is actually the name of the main character from a story I wrote when I was 10. It was the first story I ever wrote and I’ve been using as my online alias ever since. It’s practically my real name. XD

@Rayon Declaire: thanks, that helps. I accept the order. Please send a trade over and I’ll get started today.


@Anarchist Beauty: I’m okay if it’s like, really cartoony looking bug. The bug on that airship here is kinda cute. But I saw they added a spider item on here... no no nope

@MoodyBats: that’s amazing. I hope you share your art with me as you improve!

I have to go, time to start closin the store.

@MoodyBats: I’ve been studying/doing art my whole life, but I don’t consider myself good. My mom is good, she can just picture something in her mind and draw it. I like can’t even imagine what stuff looks like, much less how to draw it. I think I have an anti talent for art, my mind just doesn’t think visually. But I still enjoy it even if I don’t think I’ll ever be really good.

@Shadami: that sounds horrible, painful, exhausting. I hope you feel better from your surgery soon though. That will hopefully help some of the rest be less horrible.

@MoodyBats: do you get people saying bad things about your art on social media? That would give me such anxiety!

Once I was accused of stealing art (because I was using a base to draw art) on a forum. And I got all these horrible hate messages and stuff and I just left and never went back. It was so horrible!

@MoodyBats: yeah, I understand that. It will probably take some research before you actually launch your brand, or whatever they call it. XD

It’s just so incredible when people make their own career! It’s really amazing! OuO

@MoodyBats: I really admire you for pursuing your art like that! I hope I’m not super annoying, I got a little over excited about it. >.<

@MoodyBats: it depends if you get caught or not. I tried selling fan art and someone reported it and redbubble removed the art and said if they found fan art on my account again I would be banned. So I guess you can take a chance and try to sell fan art and hope no one reposts it.

I wish I could sell merch! It sounds like such a great way to make money, doing something you love. ^^

@MoodyBats: the problem with places like that is that they take 90% of the cost because they do the manufacturing and selling and everything. Your cut is tiny. And fan art isn’t allowed. Sometimes they claim the rights to any designs uploaded, so you can never take those designs anywhere else.

I’d personally be more comfortable finding just a manufacturer that has no say in cost, sales, etc. and has no rights over the art or products. Seems safer. On Etsy they do no manufacturing, you just sell from there. I’ve done a lot of buying from artists on there.
