Star Trek Artists: Tips for Getting Your Fan Art Approved by the Brand

One of the abstract Obsidian Order (commissioned) pieces CBS approved on RedBubble.   Another commissioned set of designs approved by CBS this week.   I finally have a handful of artwork that's been approved by CBS for sale on RedBubble! It only took 6 months, but at least now I have a better understanding of what they're looking for, and what they're rejecting. What follows is only slightly above hearsay but it's what I've learned from other Star Trek artists and from representatives at RedBubble and TeePublic (which have now merged.)   I only recently found out a lot of this stuff when RedBubble and TeePublic joined forces. TeePublic reached out to me upload my fanart over there and I asked them what the brands, particularly CBS/Star Trek was looking for. The rep actually gave me some really helpful info that isn't on the Brand Partnership page. Here's the TL;DR if you don't want to read the whole thing: Avoid actors' face...

Botchok Rules Book of Orion Wisdom is Live on AO3

Botchok Rules - Book of Orion Wisdom is finally posted on AO3 - with cover and some chapter artwork!  The project started as mostly a short book of funny sayings I thought Orions would say about space pirate life. Then it grew into a kind of cultural resource that I hoped might help other fanfiction writers with their Orion world building. It's still short - only about 6,000 words, but now it includes a timeline, a glossary, and a huge resource list (with link) for finding more info about Orions -- a bit about pirates generally because . . . pirates! Here's a look at the contents: 1. Acknowledgments and Disclaimers 2. Introduction   3. Playing by Botchok Rules   4. Piracy and the Orion Syndicate   5. Orions in Business, Bargaining, and Battle   6. Orions on Living and Working in Space 7. On Trust and Reputation 8. Sayings about Enslavement and Freedom   9. Quotes about Orions from non-Orions   10. Sayings about Orion Life and Love   11. A Very Bri...

Why I Can't Delete My Art Off of TeeSpring, but I Wish I Could

I wanted to love TeeSpring, I really did. The art placement dashboard was easy to use and the products described seemed really high quality. They are also one of the few Print-on-Demand sites that offer two-factor authentication, which made me very happy. So I loaded up some art and got started. Within two weeks, I knew this was not going to work out. Here's why. 1. Use our amazing marketing tools - after you prove you don't need our amazing marketing tools. You can't use their marketing tools, or be visible in their marketplace, until you prove you don't need their marketing tools or their marketplace. You have to drive your own sales for some unspecified number before your "Trust Score" is high enough to even appear in the site's search results. Also, they want you to "optimize your listings for search" but you can't use tags. ??? Wait, what now? Like a lot of Print-on-Demand sites (TeeFury, Threadless etc.), TeeSpring let...
