I wanted to share some cuteness and at first intended about 10 gifs, but instead ended up learning that the limit for a dump is 50! Not enough. So I'm posting 2 dumps with the same text.
Before anything else I want to ask for your help. NOT MONEY, mind, but something else. Ideas! ❤️
So, I've been struggling, doing less than ok economically and got to thinking about doing something I enjoy and hopefully earn some money.
So, I’ve decided to try my hand at making designs for t-shirts, shirts or whatever let's me earn my living through art.
... and here is where I’m, as humbly as I can, ask for ideas of things to design ❤️
I'd like to make things close to my own interests. Luckily and also unfortunately, my interests are VERY diverse and hard to decide where to start.
What I'm working on right now is the face of a red panda and the caption “I fluff you!”, with the panda on its way to being more fluffy than I intended, yay!
I'm thinking of starting with the very broad theme of cuteness. So, to list some of my interests:
Most animals! (Furry, feathery, scaley, mythical, from fantasy and sci-fi media).
Tiny versions of big things.
I also find some creatures adorable, that most don't find remotely cute… like for example xenomorphs, Godzilla and displacer beasts❤️
So if you find something cute, chances are, I'm going to find it cute.
Media interests are most things under the sun: Movies, series, games (pc, table top, & some mobile), books, and probably others that I'm forgetting right now.
I'm open to all and any ideas. What would you like to see printed on a t-shirt, mug, poster, etc.
TLDR: Plz help with ideas?! on cute stuff to have printed on t-shirts or other items. ANY type of cuteness goes!

Wish I had seen this last night when depression hit me like a freight train. At least I can start my day with it!

A friend of mine designs shirts, and one of the places sells through is Woot.com. I don't know how exactly to get involved with this, but they have a weekly shirt derby where they give a theme and people submit designs to be voted on. You could look into that as a prompt for what to design.
Saprya
I'll look into that. Once I have 5+ designs, I'm planning to sign up to all the sites I can find to sell my designs and I had not come across woot yet.

I reckon focus on some of the lesser known, but now on trend, cute animals due to the various zoo social media sites, such as prehensile-tailed porcupine, tapir, pygmy hipo, bison, armadillos etc.
Saprya
Noted. Don't forget the less trendy/mainstream animals! I love animal documentaries so I can hog the TV and call it research ❤️
SansAandAnguS
Exactly!!! 💯

Most couples find they have a theme or pair of themes that they identify with (e.g. my wife and I use a monkey and a bunny to represent the pair of us). We got a pair of matching T-shirts with "Monkey (heart emoji) Bunny" and a drawn monkey holding paws with a bunny for Valentine's Day. You can offer a set of such themed shirts for basically all the holidays in a packet where they get a bunch of the same thing for every occasion through the year. Lots of shirts to sell to a single couple.
Saprya
Nice! My boyfriend is a monkey and I'm an owl. I totally get this and didn't think of it before. Thank you!

Turtles. We got dry turtles Sulcatas, all water all the time sea turtles, pig nosed fly river turtle which have big claws on their fin feet, terrapin turtle can swim from ocean shores up river to fresh waters, tiny mud turtles, giant glapagos tortoises, Geoemyda spengleri males have a white iris eyes! Who doesn't love turtles?
Saprya
Solid!

Ss a creative, you follow your heart, or you follow the money. For the latter, furry art commissions. Don’t forget to ask about the right size for the mountain’s anus.
Saprya
Haha, I'll follow my heart totally! Though, asking for a friend, what size do mountaineers usually want the anus to be? Asking for a friend of course.
OxytocinChaser
Mountaineers? Oh, you sweet summer child.
NoTeEnchiles
Take a look at Redbubble to see what others are doing. AND what's popular.
Saprya
Yes, that is one of the many sites I'm looking at. I'll have to have 5 designs to get started 🤔. Thank you for the tip though, I'm saving any site I come across to research. From memory,Redbubble actually sells soft quality t-shirts 😇

Chibi everything! Chibi displacer beast making a heart with its tentacles. The smug owl smile that was nesting its egg would make a fantastic design (I think it was 5 or 6, wouldn't need to be chibi'ed). I'm a huge Halloween fan, I'd like the idea of the classic monsters being the protags. Frankenstein's creation actually getting along with his "family" instead of being chased away (book) or triumphing over the village mob (movie trope).
Saprya
Oooo, I like the idea of cutifying Halloween icons! and yes! The Frankenstein's would be adorable ❤️❤️ I also love Halloween! I can run with this! yass!!!

My wife has cute aggression, and this triggered it. Since you like cute things, shirts saying "you trigger my cute aggression" and "i don't know what to do with these happy emotions, so I'm going to go destroy something" with pictures of cats might be something.
Saprya
Oh my goodness!!!! Yes!!! I have to make this because I want it for myself!!!!!

Thanks, I needed a laugh. Rough day

I recommend blending popular concepts together. For example, i'm a huge fan of the band Phish. I created a t shirt for a show where I took the concept of a kiss t shirt, then blended it with phish. Most compliments i've ever gotten at a show on a t shirt

Yes my ex bf always got compliments on his shirt that has the pyramid from "the dark side of the moon" album and a bunch of different eve evolutions are jumping out of it instead of the different colored light rays.
Saprya
Ooooo! That sounds good! Thank you!
ArcaneDryad
Also, I rarely ever see all-over-print and it’s so much cooler than just pastinh an image on a shirt, so doing that would be a very warm recommendation
zsefvgb
Or combining dumb/raunchy/tryhard cautions with cute animale that fit the bill

The post I got it from said it was eating fermented pears. I really hope that the little guy is just having a fun innocent and harmless time

I thibk your best bet will be to find a niche audience and tailor your designs to them. You started with cute animals so maybe something in the Kawaii community or Furries? Or maybe do fundraising for charity (X% goes to this animal rescue)?
Saprya
That sounds like very sound advice. Thank you! I'll look into that for sure. I'll start by hitting up Reddit.
Fuckweasel
Really look into the furry communities. They're lovely people and my friend used her art for the furry community to pay for her entire college degree. This group tends to invest a lot of money into their hobby, so always a good choice of community to cater to if you're looking at it from a financial point of view.
Saprya
I'll think about it. I have heard furry art pays well, but wasn't sure how credible that was. 🤔
BikerBabeDK
What a lovely cute collection! Thanks for giving me some good grins and smiles. :)

Please tell me these birds are rescues and not peoples fucking pets
N9inb0x
Unfortunately not. Owls and otters are a popular "pet" in places like Japan and tend to suffer for it. The toucan might be somewhere else, but it also certainly shouldn't be a pet either. All of them need massive open spaces to roam and play instead of the upsettingly small apartments that most are forced to live in Japan due to the population density there. The otters are perhaps the worst off with zero yard space and no big pools to swim in, and zero enrichment that they need.

That's Luna do your research
N9inb0x
Luna is a rescue, much like how Messi the puma is. The big cat is well cared-for and couldn't be in a better place in my honest opinion. Her rescuer who is a well-versed big cat worker takes her out into the deep woods for walks and to roam, she has a companion so as to not feel alone and able to get her energy out with, and the owner can afford to keep up with the rather expensive large-carnivore diet.
