I LOVE eggys planet sm!! It’s just incredible seeing how you’re able to create a whole universe with your art i love it ⭐️
@@oddsykie this comment is so lovely ahhh thank you 🥹 I have storylines and characters that I haven’t been able to get into yet but I really hope to get there one day! Thank you sm for watching hopefully this is just the beginning 🫶🏾💜🥹
I love your content and how you show the realistic world of what its like to start a small business from the ground up. Watching this video gives me a lot of motivation to start one of my own as well. This video also showed up on my homepage on youtube too! This video was super inspiring too watch
I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the video! I really want to show my journey from the beginning and I'm really hoping it'll help someone in the future when it comes to taking the first steps into running a new small business. It's going to be a slow for a while but that's okay!~ Thank you so much for being here at this point of the journey, I'm very glad it showed up on your homepage 🥺💜
Subscribed ✨💯
Thank you! ❤
I want monthly patrons but unfortunately I don't have enough motivation to make an art for each month 😔
Ahh I struggle with this too honestly 😖 I haven’t got many patrons for eggys planet yet but I think when my motivation is there I’m gonna sit down and try to make a few months worth of patreon art in advance so that I can cope better in months where I’m not feeling great 🤧
loved this! i wish all the success to eggys plantets!!
Congrats on all your hard work!! Can't wait to see more vlogs :D It's great to see others working on building their small businesses!
Wishing you all the best on this new journey! 💜
New subby!!!!🎉 I love the transparency and your art style! Im trying to get the courage to start my own art channel and art journey! So far I just have my gaming journey 😅 continue with what you’re doing love💗
@@UnNaturalGamest hi! Thanks so much for subscribing :) honestly I’ve always been shy and nervous about posting videos like this, I spent most of my art career being a faceless artist because of it and this is me finally opening up more 🥹 You’ll find the courage to do it too one day I’m sure 💜
your art is absolutely beautiful! new sub here!
Ugggh I get the twitter thing so baaaaad! I hate posting on there really, it's always just bots or people looking to farm followers. I love eggys planet and I hope you get more traction! I really like your art too
Yeah Twitter is only good if you already have a bunch of frens otherwise it’s really hard to get any genuine engagement 😖 thank you sm, I’m going to try my best! 🥹💜
I root for you! Your art style really stand out!
I love your style! Just subbed ❤
Yay thank you sm! 😖💜
your style reminds me heavily of barcelona street art!
@@suneater_zeef050 Ooh that sounds interesting I’ll check it out! 💜
Eggy is so cute!! I’ll definitely be buying ❤
@@LiyahsGetaway ahh thank you so much! I have a lot planned for Eggy and all my other characters I can’t wait for you to see 🥹💜
I love your content so much! Very inspiring and I hope to also start a small business someday so keep up the work!
Ahhh thank you, I appreciate it a lot! I always love seeing where people start off with their small business so I thought it would be nice to document my journey from the beginning. Really hope some of the things I cover in my videos help you with your future small business too 🤧💜
this is so inspiring!! i love your dedication and optimism!! i love your personality you’re so funny! subbed! i can’t wait to see where you go from here!! ❤❤
Ayyee! New sub - this is my kind of content!! Would love to see how great things turn out over the months ❤
I love your charms! So I had the same issue at first with the clay I got being too soft (I also live in a hot climate) but what worked for me was leaching some of the oil out of the clay. I did this by flattening clay between sheets of paper and pressing them for an hour or so in a large book, the paper soaks up the extra oil. If the clay ended up too hard or brittle I would kneed it with a small amount of soft clay till I got the firmness I was looking for. I almost gave up on polymer clay before I figured this method out
hii!! if the unrounded corners on your business cards still bothers you, you can always buy a handheld corner rounder!! my mom had one since she did scrapbooking, and it works just like a hole punch or stapler, it’s a lovely little device!
Hi thank you sm for the suggestion! I actually do have a corner rounder I mentioned it in text briefly in my video but sadly the cards are like 400gsm which is a bit too thick, I have to press down reallyyyy hard to get the round edge 😭 On the bright side they sent me another 100 again and this time they were so much better so I’m using those in orders for now 💜
@@EggysPlanet oops!! I was mostly listening to the video while I drew, my bad for missing that!!
just found you I love this so much appreciate the honesty from someone starting an art business from 0 :)
@@emsfofems thank you! While small biz success stories are fun to watch too, I really think it’s beneficial to hear from someone who is actively trying to build up an audience from scratch. I love the idea of having a community that sees me grow from rock bottom 🥹💜
Your obvious passion for your characters and your small business is inspiring! So excited to see more from you! 🐣⛅
@@PentoshiBlackCat thank you sm!! I’m so glad that you can see how much this all means to me. I haven’t been able to show even a fraction of the stuff I’ve planned yet for Eggys Planet (I literally have months worth of art planned) I can’t wait to show you more too 🥹💜
how do you deal with feeling sad that no ones buys?
@@amysocool7 hi, I think the most important thing is to be patient because success rarely comes instantly and the worst thing you can do for your chances of success is to get demoralised and give up! As long as you keeping creating art and posting, all it takes is one post to go viral and then the orders will come, it’s normal to feel sad but try not to dwell in that sadness 💜
what is that anime at 0:08 ?
I could be wrong but it looks like Dungeon Meshi to me :)
@@tanjajanc6745 yeah, it’s dungeon meshi :)
Honestly I was so excited to visit your webpage to purchase a key chain but I got turned away due to the price. I believe that the price should be reconsidered. The price plus shipping fees is expensive especially when the art doesn’t really have a story background behind it. Please don’t get to upset about me saying this. I do believe if you lower the prices or build up the characters more then your business will succeed. Who knows, I might reconsider supporting you one day.
@@kikibeixi2216 Hi, one thing I’ve learnt over the years is to simply not care about someone saying my “art is too expensive” or your “prices are too high” and it’s advice I give to all small businesses and artists who are starting out. There will *always* be a handful of people who don’t get it and complain about commission and art prices. My shipping price is enough to cover international shipping costs and my handmade keychains are very fairly priced according to the work I put into them. I believe in myself, my intention is to reach the right audience who believe it’s worth it too and not to immediately sell everything for as cheap as possible. With time, those who understand my characters and their stories will come. Meanwhile, for those who genuinely like to support small businesses, there are other more affordable items such as stickers and prints available to explore. If you see an artists’ products and think it’s correct and right to tell them to lower their prices and shipping for you or they won’t succeed then it’s safe to say I don’t think my art is for you at all, which is cool but it is definitely for someone! if you want to, you can tune in to my next video to see if i failed to get any orders because my prices are “too expensive” but if not, thanks for dropping by :)👋🏾💜
@eggysplanet 👏👏👏 Well said!
