This year, I thought I would try making bookmarkers to sell at my table at the conventions I'll be going to, but I wasn't sure of what I should do.
Someone mentioned about making them monochromatic (like my colourful furry fems), which was a neat idea, but I didn't know what I should have them be.
Then I remembered an old cartoon show I used to watch when I was a kid, called "The Adventures of the Little Prince". In the show, the Little Prince had a Rose Girl...which was one stem of a red rose, with a little person living in the centre of the rose.
So the two ideas clicked together, and this is what I came up with
...and of course, went dealing with colourful roses, you *know* I'm going to have one of them going to be blue
I'll see if I can have these made into laminated bookmarkers; the originals (which is all one sheet of bristol board), will be speciall matted and offered up for sale in the AnthroCon Art Show this year. These look sooooo much nicer in person...Photoshop has killed a lot of the lighter colours in this
9x12" Bristol board; inked with Micron marker pens, coloured with Prismacolour Markers and pencils. Each bookmarker is 6x2". I used removeable tape to put an "edge" around each of them, so there wouldn't be any lines boxing them in.
Oh those are so cool!! I think they will be a hit on the conventions, I know I would want one.
I think you would especially make money if you had some templates to fit custom designs, but I bet that is pretty hard to do. Awesome!

*nods* I've got some blank bookmarkers that I would offer to draw the person's fursona in the bookmarker, but it's extremely rare that I get a commission to do those O.o Most people would rather a sketchbook drawing or a conbadge over my custom bookmarker commissions
Nice... and in a not-so-scary way, remind me of the Venus Weeds from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Castlevania fans will know what I'm talking about.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
