The Etsy fees are atrocious, but this is the real scam to me: that Etsy is flooded with dropshipped wholesale goods sold at a steep mark-up, so artists have to pay Etsy's advertising fees just to be seen on the site amongst the deluge of cheap wholesale goods.

I appreciate that more game studios are putting out "cosplay guides", but the information within can be varying levels of helpful –– eye-dropped colour swatches, eye colours, misidentified of fabrics, etc. So here are some ideas for what would actually be useful to cosplayers:

One of our Ladies, Ele, has passed away from health complications. She was 41.
While Ele hasn’t been with the company for a year, those of you who commissioned us or bought from us in 2020-2022 will have likely talked to her or had her hands in getting your kits out.

Hi all! Etsy has suspended our store; we've filed an appeal but it may take a few weeks. In the meantime, we are working on completing orders, and can still be found on Storenvy; we would absolutely love for you to support us in this time.

There's a few things left to be done on Aerith's Remake jacket, but she's getting there! Most of the pockets are functional, buckles are all functional, zippers are functional. Just the custom gold studs on the shoulder tabs and lapels left to add!

You know what? We got an academy Dedue order. It only took seven months and literally hundreds of student kits, but we have finally gotten a Dedue order, and that is cause for celebration. We love Dedue.

Tharja’s neck piece! Shiny gold cold-cast, flexible, paintable, slightly adjustable. The back is open so it can be worn tighter or looser. Can be trimmed with scissors! So straightforward.

Claude's pauldron! This is going to be moulded and then cast in urethane rubber, so if you want to do funny somersaults and flip through the air, you absolutely could. The "ribbon" pieces are separate too. Pre-orders should be up early next week :)

1. The highest res renders you've got, ideally on white/transparent backgrounds, as it's much easier to print out.
2. Turnarounds! Give me 8-16 points of rotation of a character in T pose dead-on, plus topdown and angled views. Ie, Lumie Lumie's exports are a good start:

We are very disappointed by this as we've been dedicated, high-rated sellers on their platform for years, and Etsy helped new cosplayers find us, but we've operated without Etsy before, and we'll continue to operate on our own website from now on.

At long last! Dimitri's Areadbhar from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The 3D print files are up!
This is a big boy at 84" long, with print files cut for both 200mm and 300mm printers.

Here's a funky specialty one –– Gavis Bettel's whip/sword. It's designed to be printed in TPU (though I prefer the handle in PLA, personally) so you can actually coil it up, whip it around, etc. Pictures of our printed set next week >:)

3. Do the same as 2 but with layers removed; if the character wears armour, remove some outer armour pieces to show the garments underneath. If they wear a skirt/long coat, show me the legs underneath. Ie, Games Fashion Archive's models allow you to look at parts of models.

5. Close-ups of fabric textures... but don't identify them. I find these incorrect more often than not. Positive example, this page is detailed but it doesn't put the burden on an intern or graphic designer properly identifying a fabric.

If you're reading this and like to buy on Etsy: if you want to buy from someone on Etsy, look to see if they sell on another platform and buy there, or message the seller asking if you can email them, and then ask to buy off-site in the email. Etsy "reads" messages and will

We did a Toga knife for a client and for fun I made a version that retracts. There’s a slot inside it for a spring, but it works pretty decently on gravity alone!

6. Don't identify something unless you're sure. I would believe the necklaces to be worn paint over wood, but the beads can't be "dyed" because wood is porous and the dye would penetrate deeper, "velvet"... where'd she get velvet? "Anodized cable" doesn't match how it MOVES.

First pass at our new friends' kits! LOTS of changes to make, as well as the myriad of other accessories for these kits, but I just wanted to get a rough feel for these. The coloured ribbons themselves likely won't be a part of the kit, but the brooches, end pieces and bars will.

Here's an odd one today -- 3D print files for Marshall from Animal Crossing. We have two Marshall lovers on our team so it was a silly whim. He comes with swappable bodies; a long sleeved shirt, a maid dress and a naked body for sculpting your own.

Kirsty is moving to her own website very soon — Etsy is now systematically targeting fan artists making transformative work from Zelda. We’re strong advocates that all fan artists who rely on their income on transformative works to establish storefronts elsewhere.
I posted on insta about this but heads up for twitter kids - yes one of my listings got hit by et*y's system as 'counterfeit' (a not a copyright claim). I was up to 3am completely gutting tags, titles and descriptions. I am genuinely worried, but I don't know much more.

Plus, if all the reference is of characters in T pose, slack faced, etc, you don't have to worry about people taking your 5 billion GB super-hi-res promo shots and sticking them on t-shirts or whatever. This image is functionally useless to anyone but cosplayers and fanartists.

First casts of Tifa’s hand plates; we’re doing these coldcast in Vytaflex (rubber) so they can just superglue right on. Those tiny details!!!

And don't get me wrong, I don't think jewelry at $1.50 is ethically made, buying it from the source isn't exactly great either, but I am saying: is Etsy really a market for hand crafted goods by artists if all of this flies?

Urianger accessories cold-cast and lightly sanded along the edges and backs. They look satisfying all laid out while some pieces wait for gems! Kits like this make cosplaying characters with intricate details a lot more simple.

Ideally those textures should be large and show context. On the other hand, I find this one completely incomprehensible because the "colorpicking" doesn't match the costume in any useful way + the close-ups aren't really that detailed/are often obscured/blocked.

If you don't know what drop shipping is, it's when someone sets up a shop/website where they sell you an item for, say, $20, and instead of making it/going to their warehouse and sending it to you, they pay a factory overseas $1 to ship it directly to you.

Old moulds get new life — instead of throwing silicone in the garbage (where it will never degrade), we chop it up and use it as filler in new moulds. This is all platinum cure silicone, so as long as we put it in like moulds, it’ll all fuse together as one again.

It's a bittersweet end; despite the extraordinarily high fees, eroded seller support, ludicrous Star Seller expectations and broad decay of Etsy's reputation as a place for handcrafted, indie-made goods, we did enjoy our time on Etsy and met many amazing cosplayers through it.

With Fanfest coming up, we've got a lot of quotes going out for different characters, so here's a quick thread for some projects –– the more people who preorder, the more affordable the kit. If any interest you, email dangerousladies
