so, just a little question here, everything on this list http://ezpservices.com/services/what-we-do.aspx#products we will be able to sell and buy, yeah? (I would've linked that but I'm not sure if that's working at the moment)

Not quite. From what's up right now, the DD store is going to have a more limited selection for the time being than the main EZPrints store. I imagine they might open it up after a bit once they've got it pegged as to what sells best in a comics-related market, but right now it's just what has been listed in this thread. I really shouldn't even speculate as to what they might do since I don't have access to that stuff, but that's the impression I have is that they're figuring out what will be profitable for the users.

Also, I would argue that the store is quite functional Mr. Twist. Right now, it's just in beta more or less so that they can make sure there aren't any problems when it goes live for everyone. I'm personally finding it pretty easy and straightforward to use, and despite quite a bit of looking, have yet to find any bugs whatsoever.

Oh, cause I was excited to see that there were posters and buttons there. Is there a list on this thread?

Buttons are one of the things on the product list. Different sizes. :] No baby clothes though. :[
I know. Im just saying what im selling :P. Noones gonna buy my baby stuff though :(. Or any of my stuff at all. I just had fun making it. :)

Although i can see the idea of a DD store being a good one.
I mean just look at this campain.



Surely it speaks for itself. Excuse the horrible spelling. Its 3am.
Hell, I'd buy some of that. I like being popular.
Those were my two cents.

That would be fine and dandy if the art wasn't stolen from Bigger Than Cheeses.

I gotta warn you guys, one of the rules of the store is that any image you try to sell has to be 100% by you. That bigger than cheeses link isn't working, so I can't really tell what is going on in the few posts above…. but that means basically there's a lot of ‘parody’ stuff, fan art, etc that is ok here on DD but won't be approved for the store. And, basically, no sprites unless we know they're definitely original sprites by the user. Nudity will be ok, but sex, etc won't. (Basically nothing “A” rated.)

Just warnin' you. :]

They are telling us that barring a disaster (like what happened this week with the images), the store should be opening next week. There's just one or two last things to tweak. I'll make a newspost with more info so people can prepare.

Sorry about the fail hotlinking. The original is here. I was just wondering about how “creative” the submissions would be for the store. I was worried it was gonna be all just people trying to cash in on copy written works. good to see you guys have your bases covered.

Well, we won't be making judgments on quality, and we'll be unable to catch everything potentially ganked just because it's impossible to know everything. I had no idea that red face was from BTC (if he didn't trace it from someplace himself already). I imagine phrases etc will be submitted, but I'm not sure if the printing processes used are really ideal for slogan t-shirts and such.

As long as there's some creative shirts on there, I don't see there being a problem. And hopefully we don't get any shirts like some famed webcomic “artists”… not to point any fingers (but really a little in jest)

I guess this store will be the SECOND reason why I'll go back to drawing my “main” comic. The first? Somehow Magiversity got listed on that TV Tropes page… O_O

shirts
The buyers stick their work on any product… There are not set things, so they only put stuff on shirts if that's what they want, the artists just provides the work.

Shirt choice is… limited. -_-
It's white or nothing, just different sizes and different size art.

I liked the rage-o-metre.
Read this comic. It is the greatest journal comic ever written and drawn. Trust me.

Change the red to white and change the word “rage” to “lust” for megalulz.

One more thing. Can we reuse phrases? Such as “Its dangerous to go alone take this”?

I don't have a problem with that.

Although as I've said before, I'm not sure if the printing process will support ‘transparent’ backgrounds (ie, just plain text instead of a full picture)

So basically the background will have to be coloured the same as the shirt? Well now that i know in advance. Off to make some good quality images and another comic so its relavent to something.

I honestly don't know. Sorry :[

You don't have to link uploaded stuff to a comic. Everyone gets a “general artwork” section. Part of the idea is that the store draws people who don't necessarily have comics.
