So my TTRPG party is so extra we organized our own merch box of our characters. :)
Some of you following me for a while might know that Hyatt and Zephyr were first created for a magical girl TTRPG I play with friends that we dub Oblivious Dream! OD-verse Hyatt is my magical boy player character in this campaign that's been going on since May 2020.
My fellow players and I have been secretly working on this merch box as a gift for our GM - that was finally delivered recently, so I'm sharing the fruits of our labor with the world now!
Featuring all 5 player characters plus a NPC that represents our GM in the main character roster - Louise (blue dragon), played by @glubbyan; Mie (purple space girl), played by @rollingnae; Pandora (cat cafe worker), played by @kitkenma; Freddy (green egirl), played by GM @YKTlab; Hyatt, played by yours truly; and Priscilla, played by @fluffyflorals!
It's a magical girl setting, so the merch features both their regular and magical forms! You can see an older post featuring most of the referece art I drew for them here.
The chibi art in the sticker sheets and keychains were commissioned by my fellow players and drawn by me; the hand drawn washi tape portraits were also drawn by me, and the chibi heads featured in the pin buttons were drawn by @ChadeEstrelas - both as surprise treats from myself to my squad. I also took charge of designing, printing and packing up the merch as the resident con artist ✨
Each player (and GM) received the merch shown above as well as bonus merch of their respective characters inside a box wrapped in custom gift wrapping - as seen on the last picture. The GM also received a custom plushie of the magical familiar NPC, Kyabeam (by @Wahum13), and an acrylic standee with my art of Seraphina, a major magical girl NPC.
This was an extremely involved long term project, but very fulfilling and I'm very proud of the result! These characters and story are very dear to us, so it's pretty amazing to hold them in physical form like that. I haven't worked with physical merch since late 2019 thanks to the pandemic, so it was also very fresh to make original content merch - I'm looking forward to bringing OC content to my merch roster whenever I feel ready to table at cons again.
Speaking of which, I also ordered a whole second haul of only zephyatt stuff for myself, which I'll show you guys on a separate post :) please look forward <3
