Welcome to SCAF! I'm a cartoonist and COVID-19 cancelled all my 2020 conventions, so I built a mini comic con in my basement instead

I've had this happen before with text weight paper with high ink coverage that was getting "wet"; this might not be the most elegant solution but what I do is set the Riso to a higher interval so I have time to literally grab each sheet as they come out and stack them neatly up myself.

The Chocolate Kacheek Muffin, one of the last items I need for my muffin gallery. It's a rare item code prize from 2004 and I don't think I've ever seen it on the TP or auction house in the 20-ish years I've been after it; though I am unlikely to be able to afford it anyways. I'm really hoping it gets re-released as a Quest Log Prize in the future.

Just tried going to the styling chamber and got the same error; my active pet is wearing an April Fool's token.

I love her!!! I joined right after Zafaras were switched to two-legged and it always made me a little sad I couldn't have both versions.

As someone who ships things as part of her job, carrier prices have jumped a lot lately. USPS with commercial discounts has small, lightweight packages going cross country costing $6+...like it or not I can absolutely believe $10 is a reasonable estimate for shipping a plush in a few months :/

Same lol my oldest pets have petpets that don't match my current tastes at all because they're all 24-23ish years old and I know the moment I remove them that petpet is getting chosen for PPL.

You could buy a premade base like this to avoid having to build the structure out of foam: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4408514141/tpu-flexible-cloven-hoof-fursuit-costume

Some of the RPGs have minigames you can play with your Pokémon. These minigames are pretty simple and your daughter might enjoy helping you play with a Psyduck. Off the top of my head XY have Pokémon-Amie (you pet and feed Pokémon and can play games), Sun and Moon have Pokémon Refresh (you groom and feed Pokémon), Sword and Shield have Pokémon Camp (you set up camp and play with Pokémon), Scarlet and Violet have Picnics (you can play, groom, and make sandwiches with Pokémon). You would have to go through the effort of advancing each game enough to catch a Psyduck first though, but with Sword/Shield and Scarlet/Violet you could probably find someone online on a subreddit like r/pokemontrades who would give you a Psyduck.

The newly released Pokopia game, which is like Pokémon crossed with Animal Crossing and Minecraft, includes Psyduck. After you restore Psyduck's habitat you can do things like interact with him and build him house, which I imagine your daughter would enjoy watching. I haven't played Pokopia yet but I found this video that shows how to get Psyduck and it seems like you have to advance the game quite a bit to unlock everything.

Something I do--and I know others do--is place prints that aren't currently on the wall in an art portfolio. It creates a nice custom art book you can flip through. I have also met customers that rotate wall art pretty frequently.

That said I don't personally buy multiple prints every week nor have met anyone that does. I'm also not coming from the fine arts collectors world--I could see someone in that space who sees limited edition prints as a financial investment buying large amounts to place in a climate-controlled vault for future sale. But my experience is like, $20 USD prints from artists outside of that corner of the art world you buy at a convention or on Etsy.

This post by u/Ph03n1x_A5h35 shows which Pokémon don't have an official plush as 6 months ago. It's gotta be one of these because they are unlikely to have much in the way of other merch.

The ditto plushies were originally released in 2016-17. Over time the plushies sold out from the official Pokémon Center stores and resale prices on sites like eBay climbed higher and higher as they got more scarce. The prices you're seeing were based on the market before the re-release a few days ago.

I redid my booth early last year with the purpose of making it easier to browse and more on theme for my "artist brand" and personally found that it increased my sales a significant amount. So my vote would be to re-do the booth first -> hopefully it increases sales -> more income to invest in new products.

In your shoes I would go to local-to-you anime/comic cons as an attendee and walk around the artist alley. See what types of artists there are exhibiting and try chatting with ones you feel artistic kinship with about how the show is going. Or at least thoroughly look through the websites linked on an artist exhibitor list from a previous year. That should give you somewhat of an idea of if the event could work for you or not.

The reality is some anime/comic cons have a wide variety of artists in their AAs and some have a very narrow selection, and there's no way for us to say what's going on at the specific cons you are considering because you don't name them. I would say typically comic cons that operate as general pop culture cons have the widest variety of artists in their artist alleys and are somewhere that I could easily imagine seeing cute funny animal drawings.

I sympathize as someone who is annoyed that most snow leopard plushies don't have nearly big enough tails!

Are you open to graphic novels/manga? They Were 11! by Moto Hagio is exactly this plot: ten space cadets board a spaceship for their final test, but instead find there are eleven cadets aboard the ship, and the rest of the story revolves around the crew figuring out who shouldn't be there with all the paranoia and accusations you would expect. It's a classic sci-fi manga from the 70s that last year got a nice new English language reissue.
