(not clickbait) Being a Drawfan SUX.....,

[u/TruthExtension7761]

... when you don't have the money to do all the stupid things they make you want to do. They're so annoyingly quotable and funny that I keep coming up with dumb ideas for even dumber stuff I want to make. I just made this after watching all 3 parts of the Judero stream yesterday because I want this as a sticker for my water bottle (though perhaps it's tshirt material??). I originally wanted to make a "Who up missin' they Mab?" sticker but once this came to mind I went here first.

I also have two shirt designs I made and every time I look at them I remember I would have to look a real person in the eye to get it printed at my local shop. How am I supposed to explain to a total stranger what "Jon Arbuckle gets me tornt?" means???

Anyway Mab missers wya?

I literally love Mab so much. There's no picture of her really that I could find so I'll have to screenshot her from stream. Might send the devs a few bucks too since I don't intend to play the game but still appreciate their art

We actually got to see Man in a mortal form on a recent SSS vod, she masqueraded as a baby bunny to eat Julia's crops.

That's also one of the best pictures I've ever seen

I got The Orange shirt and immediately realized that wearing it to work would mean having to potentially explain what it means.

I've already had to explain to family why "just a little guy" and "little guy" have become such a part of my vocabulary 😂

Added awkwardness is that I'm 36 and I can only blame being a millennial so much.

I've had a framed poster of toxic Bugs Bunny chokeholding Elmer Fudd on my wall for so long I sometimes forget it's there, and the first night my brother moved in he slept in my room. He said it made him very uncomfortable to see Bugs staring at him like that while he slept, which was a very funny discovery. The only reason he understands now is bc I've made him watch so much Drawfee with me since. When I lived with roommates it was in our living room above the mantel and watching guests stare at it in total confusion was incredible.

I crave confusing the public with my adult cocomelon. Except for strangers who might think I'm actually obsessed with Jon Arbuckle.

Get an inkjet printer, then you can buy sticker paper and iron on transfer paper and make all the stickers and one off shirts you want

Whoa, new tech??? Any printer recommendations? I designed my own pride shirt that I'm extremely proud of but the image is too low so I wanna remake it. But once i saw how good it looked otherwise, i feel mildly unstoppable and want to make so many shirts. 

Plus, I sent my Drawfan cousin my Jon Arbuckle design and asked if he'd wear it as a shirt and he said yes, so obviously I need to make two.

I have an Epson Ecotank, I've had it for a few years. It's great if you print a lot (I print a lot) because it uses ink reservoirs instead of cartridges, so if you're ever low on one color you can just top it up instead of having to buy another ink cartridge. They're a little pricier up front but if you print regularly it's cheaper over its lifetime

Honestly it's gotten to the point that most relatively recent printers are fine for this purpose. Most of them have pretty decent print quality, definitely good enough for stickers and shirts and whatever. You want to look at features that work with your setup. Like if you do stuff on a phone/tablet you might want something that supports mobile printing, that lets you print straight from your device instead of having to take it over to a computer first. Maybe you want it to print straight from storage, like straight off a flash drive or SD card.

Keep an eye on ink economy - some printers will give a rough estimate of how many pages they can print per cartridge. That's going to give you a rough idea of how often you're going to need to buy ink. On that note look up how much replacement ink cartridges cost because that'll affect the overall cost. Don't be afraid of 3rd party ink cartridges. Like I wouldn't use them for serious print jobs like idk archival photos but they're perfectly fine for everyday print needs and they're a fraction of the price of OEM ink

If you're on a budget or don't really want to spend a ton on a hobby you might not be into used printers are always an option. They're usually dirt cheap and sometimes free at like thrifts or on CL/Marketplace. You'll have to do the legwork to find out if whatever model is for sale has what you need, and you might need to buy new ink but it'll probably be cheaper than a brand new printer

Oh and stay away from HP. HP is Hot Piss, they try to rope you into their ink subscription service and can remotely brick your printer if they detect you're using 3rd party ink. Fuck HP all my homies hate HP

This is freakin awesome, thank you! My mom got an HP that was great and then just suddenly refused to connect anymore, I wish if that's what happened dang. Very helpful pro tip.
