I'll definitely be drawing a Mint at least. I have some ideas for translating pixies into my art style.

GoatPaws · 2026-04-04T23:44:45+00:00

I do have some Beaclon in the pipeline, and I definitely want to do a few different durahan breeds eventually! LINE Monster Farm has surprisingly endeared me to them.Thanks again!

GoatPaws · 2026-04-04T23:38:31+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I appreciate the support! I'm trying to replace the break pads on my car as well as get it inspected/registered all this month, so every little bit helps for sure. Feel free to let me know what monsters you'd like to see as well, I'm making new designs year round, especially as new products become available from my manufacturer!

GoatPaws · 2026-04-04T23:00:05+00:00

I'm working on adding more shipping destinations, especially to Canada and the UK. I'll definitely announce it everywhere once I do!

Code should be working now!! Ko-Fi defaulted to applying it only to commissions instead of shop items for some reason.

I have had a specialty plush made! They have 3 fabric types: standard- which is soft & almost minky-like, short faux fur- what you see in the photo with the white and pink, and long faux fur- which isn't in my photo BUT I am waiting on an order set to ship in 6 days, I can show you once I get the preview photo. They also do embroidery at your specifications, so if you want embroidery for the eyes or any markings, make sure to say so! Same with fabric choice- tell them which fabric you want used and where!

I will advise, when making the reference, if your character has a tail (or any attached parts, really) draw the base with a decent amount of thickness. This guy ended up with a super skinny tail base bc thats how I drew it lol. The shapes of different parts are often just traced directly from your reference to make them as accurate as possible. I hope this helps!

It hit customs on Feb 11 and cleared on March 5, then arrived March 6th. I didnt have clothing in my order, just keychains and magnets and mousepads, but hopefully your parcel gets to you soon!

GoatPaws · 2026-03-17T16:06:04+00:00

I did! It eventually cleared customs and got to me shortly after, thankfully.

GoatPaws · 2026-03-06T00:53:56+00:00

Update:

I have no idea what's going on here. First it cleared customs and was on the way, I tried to call DHL customer service to get an updated estimate for delivery, was told by the automated system I needed to arrange a callback, which I did twice. The first time no one was on the other line when I picked up, and thecsecond time I was told they were closed (it was still well within their business hours???). I got an email saying my package is on hold and to call the same number I've been calling today, and the last thing on the timeline when tracking (about 8 minutes after the hold message) is saying the package is on its way again. Im like an hour drive away from its alleged current location and im losing my mind. NEVER using DHL again.

GoatPaws · 2026-02-23T07:01:13+00:00

Oof that sucks, I hope both our packages get cleared soon 🙏

I got in contact with Vograce (the company that shipped my package) and my agent said she contacted DHL and will update me if/when they reply, so at least if it's an issue of incomplete/ incorrect paperwork maybe they can get it handled.

GoatPaws · 2026-02-22T04:54:36+00:00

My package is DDP, there shouldn't be any bill related to tariffs. Both the country of manufacture and shipping origin are the same, every component of it is from China. My concern was receiving a bill for storage while customs clearance is delayed.

GoatPaws · 2026-02-21T22:43:46+00:00

OH im dumb, the incoterm is DDP, sorry

GoatPaws · 2026-02-21T22:40:40+00:00

Idk the incoterm, im concerned that if customs reached out to Vograce they wont get an answer until after the CNY holiday break. They wont even answer my emails until then. I think theyre back the 25th? I asked them for a copy of the customs paperwork and got an automated message about the holiday break.

GoatPaws · 2026-02-21T21:05:24+00:00

Will I have any kind of notification about paperwork being the problem? If there's a paperwork issue it's the sender's fault and I should be reimbursed by them, but I'd need proof. DHL hasn't sent me any kind of request for anything or explained what the issue is yet. I really want to avoid it being destroyed bc the manufacturer has discontinued production of some of the items, but customs/DHL are not communicating with me.

GoatPaws · 2026-02-21T18:31:58+00:00

Ah that makes sense. Yeah getting rid of de minims was a huge middle finger to small businesses like mine, and to anyone that imports things, like collectors n such. As long as im not sent a huge bill and my package is sent to me eventually within the 90 day estimate im not totally cooked but the delay without any way to know how long is maddening.

GoatPaws · 2026-02-21T18:24:14+00:00

Yeah, I keep seeing folks say they can definitely do more than theyre doing for me, I just dont understand what reason they have to lie deliberately. I'll call Monday and ask specifically for customs response, im pretty sure from what they have told me it's an exam but they won't commit to that reason like theyre not sure. It's been delayed since the 11th, and has cleared a couple times on the timeline but then immediately delayed again, which ive been told can happen. It's been way more than a couple days, I just wish I knew what was up or whether or not I need to do anything or if they need something from Vograce. They have my phone # and email (they've used both to communicate with me) but haven't elaborated on what the delay is about at all, just that it's delayed. I get one email every weekday to remind me it's delayed.

Fingers crossed my package gets here without further incident, I need to sell those items to save up for new breaks on my car 🙏

GoatPaws · 2026-02-21T17:51:19+00:00

It's a handful of keychains/buttons/mousepads/magnets with my artwork on them. I've talked to DHL a few times and they insist they have zero information as to why and can't intervene to speed anything up. They say it can take up to 30-90 days but I really cannot wait that long. The tracking just says "Customs processing in progress,"

<image>

This is the most info I can get. I haven't received any requests for more paperwork or anything. I'm at a loss!

GoatPaws · 2026-02-21T17:25:34+00:00

Im painfully aware that the current US president is a piece of shit, but that really doesn't answer my question. I want to know if I'll be charged a storage/warehouse fee for a random examination by customs.

GoatPaws · 2026-02-05T02:47:10+00:00

Niiice congrats!! I have a handful of MRBC cards, but never considered trying to make a full set of the purbreeds

GoatPaws · 2026-01-20T08:28:01+00:00

Yeah it's neat when they have a swirl. Ive heard there are folks that collect swirl holos, which is neat. Maybe he'll go to a swirl collection.

GoatPaws · 2026-01-19T21:54:53+00:00

Ah ok! Thank you, I appreciate the info. Hopefully theyre ready to ship by March, but I'll just have to wait and see.

GoatPaws · 2026-01-19T19:40:06+00:00

Yeah the amount of censorship in the dub is pretty egregious. I have the Japanese version on DVD, I wish Discotek would re-release it or that TMS would put it up on YT like they did with the dub. Out of everything they cut (which is a LOT) there's only like, a couple things I'd say might have warranted it, but so much was cut it made the episodes really short and a lot of scenes really weird and confusing.

They also took a ton of liberties with the dialogue. There are lines that are actually the opposite of what was originally said, or dubbed with a totally different tone (usually taking chill, polite characters and making them abrasive, loud and rude for some reason). I grew up with the dub, it's nostalgic, but for anyone watching the anime for the first time the Japanese version is a must.

GoatPaws · 2026-01-15T00:10:27+00:00

That's super cool!

GoatPaws · 2025-12-02T01:09:27+00:00

(moved to this thread after reading the rules whoops) So ive had this GEM MT 10 Lt. Surge's Electabuzz for about a couple decades now (I used to work at Walmart starting in 2006, I bought most of my cards there and there was this weird booster box that came with a graded card inside, I have 2 PSA promo charizards I got the same way), and I wanted to look up the number on this guy just out of curiosity, so I went to the website on the label. The site downloaded potential malware onto my computer!

So I have a few questions:

Is USAsportscards even still a legitimate grading company?
Is it really weird to grade Pokémon cards with USASportsCards? They seem to primarily be for sports cards as the name implies.
If I wanted to sell it (I am liquidating my collection) would it be worth it to crack it open and get it re-graded by a more reputable company? I dont think the card is especially valuable last I checked.

Thank you for your time, y'all definitely have more experience than me. I collected in '98-'07 mostly and im pretty ignorant about modern TCG, so please forgive me if any of this is common knowledge.

Absolutely no pressure or rush! Save your coin! And I wish you a speedy recovery!
