not so super secret catalog of @ruinouslore’s forbidden nonsense lol
I used to run a side shop with my alterhuman stuff on Ko-Fi but recently merged it with my main shop (Etsy Shop / @grackleink-studio). However, I still like to advertise my alterhuman stuff here :D There will be occasionally more random stuff here too.
Questions/asks about anything related are welcome <3
Please note I am an adult and some of my (non-alterhuman) stickers may be cheeky/potty humor/possibly a little kinky. Nothing visually sexually explicit tho. Follow/interact at your own comfort ^^
"fts: kinky" --> block this to not see kink related things like piss, pet play, bdsm, etc. Some stuff may not be inherently sexual/suggestive in design (like a pup mask).
"fts: suggestive" --> block this to not see more generic suggestive stuff, like a not graphic pin up pose, a saucy joke, etc.
(you can block the tag fts: kinky and fts: suggestive if you don't want to see saucy stuff here)
Want to Suggest a Design For Me to Make?
You are welcome to send an ask for a design request! I won't respond (unless I have a question or want to do a poll to see if there's interest from others), but I look over and consider each one :3 No guarantees tho!
Please note that by suggesting a design, you're doing so without expecting anything in return (like money, etc) if I do sell something. If you'd like to be tagged if I do make that design, let me know!!
Depending on the nature of the design, I may sell it here or over at @grackleink-studio (my main business) !
Issues with Package/Product?
Please contact @ruinouslore !! I'll do everything within my power (and budget 🥲) to help you!
If your item or packaging comes damaged, pls let me know! Even though I can't do anything about the shipping process, I'm always trying to improve my packing to minimize damage as much as possible, so seeing pictures of damage helps me!!
Random Q&A!
Q: What do you use to make your keychains/pins?
A: I use xTool D1 Pro Desktop Laser Engraver Cutting Machine and 3mm basswood, and of course clasps, jump rings, pin tacks, etc. I digital draw the design and upload a png into xTool’s design software, convert it into vector, and connect my machine to my computer, and engrave/cut!
Q: Do you do custom keychains/pins? Can I commission you to do an alterhuman/etc design?
A: I do occasionally take custom orders! I’ll post about it on @grackleink-studio if I do. Unfortunately, I can’t do alterhuman themed (and some other stuff too) designs since I would have to make it in secret (as I do with current stock). I sadly can’t just make stuff whenever. I don’t want to make a client wait too long so I rather just not risk taking custom orders of that theme. Alternatively, you can send a request for a generic alterhuman design to my asks, and I may make it in my own time for public sale.
Q: Are you alterhuman/etc?
A: Unsure! I resonate with some aspects of it but I prefer to be unlabeled. I do like to think of myself as a dog and/or a grackle if that counts. I started making alterhuman accessories by the suggestion of my alterhuman friend!
it's under my main's branding @ruinouslore! (ill make another announcement post over there tomorrow)
ruinouslore
Moving most of my alterhuman stock (and misc stickers) from Etsy onto a Shopify store! It's cheaper too! Any new alterhuman, queer, personal, not-so-mainstream designs will be homed here :D
keychains and pins of all my alterhuman designs have been restocked! You may notice my mini pins price have increased (by +$1 on shopify, +$2 on etsy), and that's due to me realizing $3 per pin was awesome but not sustainable business wise (fees are ravenous), hence I needed to adjust things to remain afloat :(
anyway, hope this new change works out in favor of yall and my silly business! let me know if any of yall have questions/concerns using the new shop :] (especially if shipping costs look weird...still getting used to the way shopify functions)
more info below
Still only shipping to the USA sadly :(
I'll keep my keychain and pin listings still up on @grackleink-studio Etsy page for visibility but I'll keep it low stocked/higher priced.
@for-the-sillys will remain my blog ill yap about alterhuman and related stuff since I built a following for that on here (y'all are awesome <3), but I'll also be doing shop updates on @ruinouslore!
so if you want, you can follow @ruinouslore but i do also post random stuff there (mostly warframe fanart lol), so @for-the-sillys may be best for you if you just want more alterhuman related shop stuff.
if you're curious, ruinouslore shopify and grackleinkstudio etsy are the same store legally/tax wise. The name difference is cosmetic.
i'm also on the Starter Shopify Plan, so $5 a month (very nice!). Which means very limited site customization and no nice menus/product categories u_u Maybe one day i'll make enough to get on their Basic Plan..........
I moved my stock back to Etsy (https://grackleinkstudio.etsy.com). I wasn't ready for Shopify yet and couldn't justify paying for it without enough steady orders.
Aahhhhhhhhhhhhh made a little therian gift bundle with my keychain, pin and two new stickers!
Only one bundle in stock for $20 USD. I plan on creating bundles for my other designs! But I’m running low on supplies and it may take some time to get new supplies 😔
tldr: want to make more alterhuman stuff. is there a type of alterhuman related sticker you want to exist?
(Details below)
Kinda want to make more alterhuman products but I’m not sure what. I want to do stickers cuz ik I can make those privately anytime in my room (meanwhile pins/keychains are dependent on the weather outside and me being home alone…which is rare).
But…would people really buy stickers from me? Not saying in an insecure way, but in the sense what can I make that’s not already there at a good price on Etsy and Redbubble, for example?
I fantasize about making custom [insert]-type stickers but I have no idea if my design skills will be kind to me lol. But if there’s enough interest, I may try!
Another idea I wanted to explore was discreet alterhuman stickers, but I’m not entirely alterhuman myself (I’m unlabeled) so I don’t think I’d be able to come up with something relevant/meaningful to many peeps.
Anyway, long arse post to set up a simple question: is there a type of alterhuman related sticker you want to exist? Can be purely selfish (/lh), as in very specific to you (who knows, maybe ill open custom sticker commissions!) or applicable to a wider group! just need ideas for brainstorming, doesnt have to be fancy-schmancy :3
obligatory disclaimer: if you do share an idea, you're giving it out of goodwill. i cant provide compensation if I sell the design OTL (so avoid giving me ideas you want to make in the future lol!)
doe for now, ill see if ill mess with horn add-ons later.
ik my printer can fit it but i wonder if i should make the ears separate anyway.... but i dont know how to divide parts (yet) ahjkfhjHJSKG i have much research to do lol
i also gotta get better by comprehending measurments/scale....my worse enemy
I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO SCULPT IN BLENDER… AND MANAGED TO 3D PRINT IT TOO
More rambles below!
so therian wolfy mask sort of thing! Meant to be a dog but it looks more wolf/coyote
I wouldn’t call myself therian (I prefer to be unlabeled). I originally meant to practice sculpting so I could explore 3d print fursuit parts. But then my sculpt started to look like a therian mask so I was like “hey why not!”
anyway now I’m curious if I can make a few therian masks for fun. I do have some left over fur from the Furry Incident of 2021 that I have no use for.
Going to refocus my sticker efforts back to @ruinouslore operations wise. I'll be removing the stickers on my for-the-sillys ko-fi shop and move them over to my ruinouslore ko-fi shop (rn nothing much is there).
In the future, I hope to use bigcartel, but that's dependent on me opening a Stripe account, which I need to have a business website to get approved for (hence i want to focus on my ruinouslore ko-fi shop, rather than juggle 2 shops).
I'll still keep the for-the-sillys ko-fi sticker listings but mark them as sold out and update the image to show where I'll be selling them. This is because I have a couple reblogs listing the old link of the stickers and I don't want to lose a curious person's interest just because they click on an old link and it goes to a deleted listing.
more ramblings below
To be frank, I'm not sure what I'll use this account for...I still want it around but i'm slowly getting more comfortable sharing more personal designs on my main account that this account is slowly becoming redundant.
If anything, I'll keep this as a place to advertise any more alterhuman goodies i make!
I may keep the branding but still host the actual selling operations to my main account. i need to consolidate my business operations lol i have so much nonsense going on
