US Based Manufacters?

Hellooo, back with more questions

So, I usually use Vograce for my orders for my etsy shop. And before anyone says anything, no I personally have not had any issues with them ever (I've ordered from them about 12 to 13 times). But I'm worried about dumb tarriff shit and don't want to spend so much on shipping.

I remember trying to look up US based manufacters, but it didn't fee like a good amount had a nice variety of options like how Vograce has. Also seeing some bad reviews about some also which already limits who to get from it seems. I'm not super interest in buying from so many different places at once and paying that many different shippings. Maybe at most three different manus. I'm mostly interested manufacterers in charms/keychains, stickers, prints and buttons!

How do y'all market yourselves online?

I'm curious as to how people go about marketing their work online.

I feel like a lot of tips I've gotten never really work for me. I don't know if I'm doing it right, or people are just genuinely not interested in what I do. What's something that's gotten your stuff seen on social media? Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, mods can take it down if need be.

Dahlia and Rowland in their younger years

So this originally was just supposed to be a drawing of Dahlia back in her longue singer days when she was much younger, since almost all drawing I've done of her was with her husband Rowland.

...But I just had to draw him back on the day as well. At least it's a separate drawing xD

Old Hunderian Ad

So this was the original ad I did for Hunderian! It's a bit outdated, since it was made before part 4 was completed. I want to do a new one soon, with new visuals and whatnot!

What's the best web host for me to use?

Hello! I wanted to ask, what's a good web hosting provider to use?

I currently use GoDaddy, which is honestly starting to get on my nerves. It's only for my carrd site that I use for my original story. So it's not for any sort of business or some, I don't really have the money for that. I would also like to be able to keep my custom email somehow. But I also don't think I could use any provider though, since Carrd has these under the custom domain info page (image attached), so I suppose it's which one of these is any good? Or should I just stick with using the carrd.co domain for now?

been burnt out on my creation for almost a year, don't know how to keep motivated

Hello hi

I figured this would be a good place to ask but if it's not you can just delete it!

I been working on my story (it's done in a mainly visual novel style, but I call it a hybrid with a comic since it's not very choice very like a standard VN, it was just a neat idea someone suggested) for the past 6 years (the idea for this was much older than that, I posted art of characters from this for about 15 years).

I was so gungho about this project since I seemed to found a way to finally portray my ideas in a medium people can interact with. I tried making it a comic so many times over the years, but I couldn't get past the first few pages without wanting to jump off a cliff. Though now, I feel like I could do a comic with how I been doing the action scenes lately.

But now, the juices stopped going. I was burnout from it for almost a year. And it's not that I'm tired of this universe and doing art for it. Because I'm not. I like making pmvs about it, and posting it on my YouTube. I like drawing general art of the characters. I love making in-universe stuff, like posters that would be ads on the city, content characters would make, magazine covers that would exist in the world. I have one of these as a physical book. I love working on the website I have up for my universe. I like writing the scripts for all the storylines I have in this universe I planned on doing after this first one. I even like editing the VN. But actually drawing the art needed for it I'm burnt out on. But part of me is wondering if it's just burn out. That I'm also not motivated enough maybe.

I don't wanna ramble about this part for too long, but, like mentioned before, I been posting about these characters and the related art (as well as other stuff) for 15 or so years. I used to be very good about posting almost everyday, but these last several years, I'm very tired. I still draw almost every day, but I'm tired of it. I think I kinda gave up because I never really built up any sort of audience, so I am just drawing for myself mostly. But this VN is such a big project, I was hoping I'd have some interest in it. But when that wasn't happening, I was like "okay, I'll just finish for my own satisfaction :)" But now, I feel like I don't care enough for that. It's about 85% with parts 1 to 4 up. I was gonna have it as one full polished thing with all 5 parts together, which is what I'm working on now. But I feel like I can't be bothered. My brain is just "I know how the story ends, why do I need to finish this."

But I feel like I should. I sank so much time and money into it, but I can't motivate myself to draw the next scene.

Sorry for the ramble, just looking for advice.

Hunderian Guide Video pt. 1

So I figure I should show off this series here !

This was another fun lil side project I did a couple years back that I plan on redoing.

It's essential an "in-universe" set of videos the mayor of Saraka at the time, Damien, had made to educate about Hunderians to humans. So yes, he did both a book, and a video tape series. He was really serious about this!

This part is just an introduction, the following videos will get into more specifics, like the book!
