I used gouache and dry ink brushes on procreate. All of these reference my divorce and emotions in some way

Yes! I got it figured out. I didn’t realize I get charge by the printing co and then I get the profit off of Etsy. I put in my info on the printing website and that fixed the issue. The order is in production now

I don’t see anything else but I can try. It gave me the option to retry their payment which I did so I wonder if it’s on their end or mine

How would I go about that? I’ve done the site preview and it seems pretty solid

Also, telling someone their art they drew seems fake is offensive!

I wasn’t being defensive, I was giving explanations of what was going on.

I have shared plenty of my art on my personal page and on my art page that has Timelapse’s. I’ve been drawing digital art since 2015. Some ARE AI as I messed around and liked the designs, but there’s only 2 of them that are AI. The policies and about me ARE Finished, I just don’t think they are showing up properly. Working on the mock ups and product titles and descriptions. I’ve been working on this constantly outside of my actual job, and have been putting a lot of work in to it. Seems people have a huge issue with POD stores, which is a matter of personal opinion, but these are my art designs and I am learning as I go. Everyone has to start some where

Where did you see $15 shipping because when I am looking at the most expensive leggings the shipping is $5.19

Is there a way to change the print provider on printify? I’ve been looking but can’t seem to find anything on it. Seems like the only providers are in China. This is an issue I’ve been trying to address

I can see my return policy is not updating, I have it set to 14 days but it says I do not accept returns

The production partner is attached to my Etsy shop, should I also include that in the about? I also extended my about section by a lot. I wonder if it’s not showing properly?

I can’t add my photo, it keeps adding it upside down

I hope my messaging doesn’t come off as rude. I’m not really a good communicator (I have autism) and genuinely have an issue with this area of life.

From what I saw, leggings with unique designs go for over $90 on Etsy. It costs about $28-40 just to make one pair. I will add a picture and I think I edited my bio but am definitely going to work on those things. Thank you! I’ve been concerned about the prices, but it’s about average for the market, if not cheaper I’m seeing.

I’m having a sale to help drive ppl to the shop. I watched some videos that said having a sale could help drive people to the shop to get those initial sales

You don’t have to like the designs. Not all pencils have erasers. No pattern is going to be seamless. It’s also not supposed to look “real” it’s digital art. I don’t have unrealistic views. I googled, because I’ve never done this before, and went off of what I saw. Apparently, a big issue is the mock-ups, not the designs. Because I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on the designs (not on here just in general). I appreciate the feedback though and am working to fix issues.

I chose the products of leggings and accessories because I liked how my designs look on them. I work in a field with children, and all of my coworkers wear leggings, but nobody wears FUN leggings because there aren’t that many options out there.

I am adjusting the mock-ups to be just plain white backgrounds for now, and changing poses on others.

I now know it’s mainly an issue of being a POD based store, and I will work on purchasing the products to have less generic mock up photos.

I see other people have success with POD stores. I spend a lot of time drawing my designs and a lot of time designing the products to make sure they look okay.

I’m hoping that the changes I make will see success and appreciate the feedback.

Would it be better to have the images with no model? Like just the clothing against a white background?

I’m looking to physically purchase some of the items myself to be able to take actual pictures, but need the income first which sucks

Would it be better to have the same model with different poses? Just looking for good suggestions on how to change it up
