@prisonette But if Genshin is what's making you the most money then I don't see why you should stop lol

@prisonette ADDENDUM (im suspended on main for talking about a video game emote lmao): My post was not meant to single out this artist for drawing genshin!!!!! There are a lot of good points in the comments. My only wish is that there will be more variety in artist alleys+
English
I will complain about genshin merch forever I'm not expecting niche or seasonal anime merch but even famous idol franchises like enstars or love live or even massive game series like danganronpa are being drowned out in artist alleys

Before you complain that the Artist Alley are full of nothing but Pokémon, Genshin, or nostalgia fandoms, consider the fact that the hype for new anime typically lasts an average of 1–2 months

@Guronurse @prisonette You make a good point, now that I think about it most idol oshikatsu that I see is of official merchandise
English
@prisonette As someone who loves "idols" series like Love Live, PjSekai or Enstars let me tell you that it doesn't sell well. Even Genshin fanmerch is declining because of people complaining. The last event, I talked to an artist if I could get her print from one of my oshis in Enstars (1/)
English
@Drapy_Art I see what you mean but it wasn't my intention to single them out. I wasn't familiar with the artist before now. My post isn't telling that artist "draw things that aren't Genshin," it was meant to be more encouraging that I want to see a variety in general, not the specific per+
English
Then draw them yourself lol or commission artists to do so.
Artists are not your personal free merch chat GPT
If we want to earn money with our work, we need to make stuff we know it sells (also you assume artists don’t like the popular stuff they draw lol)

@rainevelt @prisonette Yeah, I understand why it's so common, I just wish there was more variety. If it's making you money then more power to you, I won't go out of my way to complain directly to an artist, I just have my own personal grievances with seeing the same things over and over.
English
@prisonette As someone who occasionally tables at cons- Genshin became really popular during the pandemic, and is still relevant today. Meaning it's far more likely to have more people buying it. And since it lasts for a REALLY REALLY long time, if there's leftover merch we havent sold, we-
English
@Drapy_Art Do you think I'm going up to artists at cons and saying "Man I wish you'd draw more than just genshin"? I would never do that because I respect artists and if it's making them money then that's a good thing. Please don't project this idea onto me
English
@Drapy_Art ?! I'm not pestering anyone...? Or getting rabid each time I see a genshin keychain? I think you're really overreacting
English
@Drapy_Art Okay... I didn't say that they have to... You're really overexaggerating what I said when all I want is more variety. I am an artist that sells my art through commissions & have experience selling prints (though not at cons), and you can read my convo with OP
English
@prisonetta Nor do the artists have the time and money to produce merch for every single franchise you all want
English
@Drapy_Art I don't have the means/funds/travel options to go to cons more than once a year lol
English
Ah just saw this person only attends one con a year. So you basically go to a single one and yet have the audacity to generalize and say all the cons are full of Genshin? Do you know how many anime cons exists all around the world?😂
English
@lileryys @anonsbelle @rimiranyuri i think these are also story cgs tbh. they remind me of enstars cards where the character is going through an internal monologue while performing (garupa has probably done this too i just can't think of an example rn)
English
#idk why maybe its cause its not garupa or something but do these NOT look like cards like at all it might be cause im used to garupa???? but even idolmaster cards look similar to their newer games so im confused.

@prisonette is this an existing tierlist ?! link please 🥹

@prisonetta @prisonette Don't worry, eng isn't my first language, and sometimes it might seem like I express my ideas a little too bluntly—sorry about that, hehe. But I do agree that it would be great if audience habits, as well as companies' merch policies, allowed for a greater variety of fandoms
English
@AkuoArt @prisonette I'm not blaming you lol don't worry but I can still think it's annoying that a large percentage of the artist alley are taken up by the same franchises & characters
English
@AkuoArt @prisonette I'd like to one day sell at an artist alley but there's a high chance I won't make any money simply because I don't like/draw Genshin
English
@AkuoArt @prisonette (somehow i got suspended mid conversation so i have to reply here...) I had considered that they don't sell well but unfortunately that makes it a shitty situation for everyone involved Except for the genshin fans
