I made a Derpy-Chan shirt using one of those print-out, iron on transfers. It looks damn good in reall life, though it looks like it's gonna start cracking soon, and I've only worn it about three or four times. Oh well, it was cheap.

Gurl that lace ain't cute. Otherwise I think it looks nice.

>>4787313
Is that spoonflowers sateen? Your skirt looks very nice though.

>>4787318
Haha, I chose the lace. I'm a whore for venise lace and I think it's cute.

>>4787319
Yep, it's the Spoonflower sateen. Like I said, it isn't this shiny irl, even in sunlight. There's a light sheen to it, but that's it.

And thanks! She did a great job.

>>4787315
That's adorable.

I'm seriously jelly of that skirt. Is it just a local seamstress, or does she do commissions on the community?
And how much fabric did you purchase to get that made?

>>4787336
She does commissions for the community from what I know and sews her own clothes. Also, I purchased three yards of the Depire Romance print because it's not double-sided.

OP I like it. The blue looks great on sateen. you must show us your coord with it.

Meanwhile I know someone ordered that Anchors Aweigh fabric, I really want to see that made into a sailor coord.

DO WANT
its really cute.
can you post a coord with it? im interested to see this worn/coordinated.

When are the next batch coming? I really need the Blue tidepool print. I know that we need new prints, but people say that they want gothic ones, but the colorways of Derpy Cross you don't seem to like and noone is doing any new one... I could try to make a sweet one, but you want gothic you say

>>4787344
I will once I get the skirt!

>>4787348
I haven't tried it on yet (she sent me the pic in the OP), but once I get it I'll post a co-ord! I have some ideas, though.

I really, really want to commission a Derpy-chan skirt.
Any recommendations for seamstresses who'll do it according to the rules, anons?

Is Sea Derpy out yet?

Oh the skirt is fantastic!
I am so jelly, the lace Is lovely btw.

Ooh, that skirt looks so good! I adore that kind of lace. I was only kinda meh on the gothic derpy prints until now. How close is the black to true black?

Where do people order the fabric from? I want to give it a try.

Hey OP, how dark is the black print? I always hear spoonflower fails at a true black, and compared to the black lace it does look slightly faded.

>>4787764
>>4788102
It's nearly true black, although I haven't seen the fabric for about a month so I don't remember what it looks like too well.

>>4787909
Spoonflower.

>>4787909 Where do people order the fabric from? I want to give it a try.

>>4788629
>oh, I've always wondered about spoonflower, I should go check it out!
>$27 a yard for cotton sateen

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no

I know custom printing fabric probably isn't cheap or easy, but daaaaaaamn that is a fat chunk of change.

And why is it a flat fee? You'd think the complexity of the fabric would change the price.

sage for poorfaggotry

OP your skirt is awesome.

I have an idea for a gothic print but I also did the sea derpy and the derpy apple tree.. I know other people had some designs in progress so I'd feel like a jack ass if I went ahead and made a new print and used up those last few spaces.

I know there was a couple of lovely classic prints being worked on and some ideas going around of a tarot card print. Any news on those?

>>4788660

Still waiting on Derpy Coach and anything solid on that tarot print. It's been weeks. I say go ahead with your idea. If they can't get on with their designs after nearly a month then they will have to wait till later if we do more.
They are holding up getting the next prints

>>4787344
I have to say the print seems pretty humongous

btw are there any worn pictures of finished items?

>>4787313
I immediately thought lampshade.

Not that there's anything wrong with a derpy-chan lampshade.

I'd buy one.

>>4788646
You're mostly paying for the coating that lets it go through the printer (I'm looking into setting up a digital printing company, and fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that shit is expensive to get ready coated).
I guess there's a flat rate for convenience really, most people want to click a button or two and then have their fabric sent to them ASAP, if there wasn't a flat rate there's be a lot more emailing backwards and forwards to determine a price.

>>4789297
>there's be a lot more emailing backwards and forwards to determine a price.

Not really, spoonflower would just have to actually LOOK at the fabrics themselves and set the price after they allow people to actually purchase it. Admittedly, they do a horrible job printing their fabric, which is why their black is so faded.

>>4789305
do you have any better/cheaper/more convient alternatives?

>>4789305
Well yes, but the majority of people that use the service would find that inconvenient.
The black being faded is because they don't use a true black dye, they use reactive dyes and it's only recently (in the past year) that you've been able to get a true black that will go through a digital fabric printer.

Looking for suggestions on this please!

I'm trying to make a Derpy-chan design of my own. The background definitely isn't final but it's nicer than a big patch of white glaring out at me while I work on it. Thoughts?

>>4791119
ALL OF MY WANT.
SO CUTE

>>4791114
Wow, we both bamped with potential prints, how uncanny! I'm sorry I don't have anything constructive to say, Anon, but I love the little bolts, they're a cute detail.

>>4791129
I'm so glad you like it! I've always admired the fashion from afar and I spent literally all day trying to get it right :) I'm going to carry on working on it tomorrow and put a nice horizontal scroll along the bottom and maybe give the derpyphant a little feather.

>>4791141
That's awesome haha!

Your upside down derpy makes me smile

so

very

hard.

>>4788660
Thanks! I'm really pleased.

and oh gosh please go ahead. There aren't nearly enough gothic prints.

>>4789305
I thought the printing job was pretty good. True black is pretty hard to print in the first place, so I could forgive that. The print was clean and not smudged or anything, and it looks nice.

>>4791114
That is seriously adorable.

>>4791114
>>4791119

I particularly like the solitary bat on the waistband. I think that's a nice touch.

I couldn't leave it alone... I've done the scroll and now I really am not touching it until tomorrow! I need to go to bed. I've done one repeat so you can see how it looks, please let me know what you think/ suggest a nicer background!

>>4791114
hnnnng

>>4791591

I just looked at this and was reminded of AatP's new print, Twilight Circus.... except that this is WAAAAAY BETTER! :D Twilight Circus is hideous, but I love this! :D

>>4791114
Holy fuck that is adorable!

>>4791591
I want this and I want it now. That is so adorable!

>>4791591
Could there be more muted colourways as well as brighter ones? Because I need this in faded sepia tones like burning. Hell if you could make a less cutesy, kind of creepier old faded poster version of this I would buy the shit out of that. Old circuses, man. I don't even know.

>>4791591
I WANT THIS SO DAMN BAD.

I think a version with a black sky would be nice, too

>>4791591
hnng

Thank you! I never expected such a positive response! :D I'm taking your suggestions into account too, this is what I've come up with so far for the old circus idea. The creepy part will have to be worked on, but I'm happy with the richer, more subdued colours.

>>4793569
omg that is insanely cute

>>4793569
That is a beautiful background choice!

I think I even want it for my desktop wallpaper.

Mm... But the green and blue ball -does- stand out a little bit now.. or is that just me? I'm not a design nor coordinate expert or anything.. But it seems.. really sharp compared to the rest of the print now.

>>4794541
Thank you! And no, you're right - the ball DOES stand out a bit... perhaps I should lighten it up a bit? I'm also planning on doing a valentine's/ rococo derpy, a nice teatime derpy and possibly a cowboyish print? Doing the sepia/ fadey stuff made me start thinking about the old west.

>>4794590
you could probably safely get away with the ball being red with a cream/white stripe and gold star; the elephant and gold curtains around it would keep it from melting into a blob of red among the red curtains.

how are you cranking out your designs, anyway, i can never draft anything original that doesn't look lame or isn't lineart *_*

Slowly, slowly getting Veggie Wedgie Derpy done...

>>4794669
I think you're right, and the fact that the ball has horizontal bands of colour instead of vertical should help a lot too. I'll do that and repost later tonight, and perhaps put up a little section of teatime derpy too, if I get enough of it done!

As for how I work, I like to start off with a hideous magenta sketch and use that as a guideline for some neater linework. I make sure every element is lined and coloured on a seperate layer so that I can still play around with composition before I decide I'm happy with it and merge everything. Don't give up, anon, when I first started out on my circus design I was doing the yellow triangle banners and thought they looked so lame. Now I'm really glad I went through with it!

>>4794693
Haha, that last one is so dopey looking! I love it!

Sepia dreams version with the recoloured ball. I decided to keep the star lilac in the end so that it still ties in with the derpyphant, but it's a definite improvement!

>>4795198
LOVE IIIIT. the ball really looks great. god now i really want to make a derpychan print but i'm not sure what of...

You think there'd be a shop on taobao that does what spoonflower does or something? Cuz that shit's expensive.

>>4795198
That's freaking adorable.

>>4794693
I was just about to ask an update on this. I'm loving the expressions, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I just wanted to say, Derpy Grave, Derpy Veggie, and Derpy Circus... you guys are great for picking this up again.

Especially since this will finish off the number of prints we need. Keep at it. I'll be ready to post them when you are done.

>>4794693
I really want to order some of this once it's finished.. I love the bell pepper!

>>4794693
Uhm...not to be a bitch, but this looks like shit, nothing like derpy-chan at all, just some stupidass horse you need to try again. Derpy has personality but that's waaaaay too much.

Derpy bump!

I tried out a blue x black pallet but I'm wondering if you guys would prefer something else. Command me!

>>4799034

I really like this one! It kinda reminds me of SMB3 backgrounds, but that just makes it even better.

I'd like to see it in grey x black (grey bg, black print). But that might just be because I am a sucker for grey x black in everything, lol.

>>4799034
a purple/black pallet, mayhaps?
like the fabric is a purple and then derpy with the grave sin black?

seeing everyone else's designs really makes me want to do a design. probably something simple, but rather than a border design, maybe an all over print.

>>4799116

That would be awesome! There's only boarder prints at the moment and I haven't seen anyone else talking about all over prints.

>>4798521

Show me your derpy print, then.

>>4799134
i'll get on it, and hopefully have it up in the next few days then!

>>4799116
here, i've just got done doing some tracing and general layout for an all-over derpy-chan print. the image should give you an actual size 9 inch square layout to work with. the next post will have a sample tessellation so we can weigh in on pattern issues. i'll then get to work on a few sample patterns and colorways, and encourage you all to do the same.

here's the sample tessellation. i think there might be spacing issues depending on what you add to the pattern.

also, sorry derpy-chan's not super smooth line wise.

Tarot de Derpy was discussed as being an all-over print, but I don't think anyone's actually working on that, which is a real shame. I was fantasizing about that one but so help me I can't draw. At all.

are there any patterns or themes that haven't been done yet that people want to see?

also, what are the limits on color? i've heard that black never prints true black, and red often bleeds.

Is there any way to see all of the derpy prints created thusfar?

I currently have 3 yards of the yellow sherbet print in the knit fabric. Does anyone have a pattern for a cute short sleeved hoodie? Something you might wear with fairy kei?

I intend on making a skirt once I buy a dress form. May or may not be lolita considering the knit fabric.

wow North America sure have no taste...
I love how you uneducate people make everything a joke, even clothes.

>>4800836


Yeah that probably explains why you're acting like a spooge covered dildo. Good on ya mate!

>>4800836
>I love how you uneducate people make everything a joke, even clothes.
>you uneducate people

Oh, the irony.

and that explains I wasn't wrong, please try again.

>>4800836
>I love how you uneducate people make everything a joke, even clothes

>>4800882

what it does not explain is why there is no beer in my hand and you're out of the kitchen.

>>4800908
I just laughed out loud.

>>4800913
>>4800908
>>4800877

This is how America talks~ *everythig is a joke*
I understand why all the derp clothes, thanks now I understand~~

>>4800927
You sound French.

>>4800927

>>4800927

do you? DO YOU?!

>>4800927
You are so cool and superior~ *everything you say holds value*

>implying everyone on /cgl/ is American

I hope you may someday acquire an *education*~

>>4800927

Also, >>4800908 here, not American. Very much European here, just an insomniac. You still sound butthurt (and French) for some reason.

>>4800942
aww you mad? You just have to check EGL and see derpy fabrics and clothes are made from girls of US. Seriously, these people have really bad taste, I didn't understand why people go crazy about stuff like from this post, but now I do.

Bye and thanks :3

>>4800967

AAAANSWER MEEEEEE

>>4800967
But Derpy-chan just wants to rub its awkwardly-shaped nose against your cheek. Why do you deny its love, anon?

>>4801002

they are a robot.

>>4800967
You are not making any sense. Please back up your statement with proof.

You obviously have a stick up your butt and no humor.

>>4800967
>see derpy fabrics and clothes are made from girls of US.

>I didn't understand why people go crazy about stuff like from this post, but now I do.

Y SO MAD?

>>4801008
Nonsense. Even a robot couldn't resist the derpy.

Guys I think Frenchy is tsundere for Derpy-chan.

>>4800967
>derpy fabrics and clothes are made from girls of US
>made from girls of US
DERPY-CHAN IS PEOPLE

can we please get back to discussing derpy-chan print ideas and whatnot?

>>4800376
i don't think there's a color limit, but more than 5-6 and things get crazy. derpy carnival had quite a few colors and looks pretty decent printed.

who could I go to to get it commissioned?

>>4801099
I asked some girls in my comm who I knew are good seamstresses. Maybe try that?

THIS

IS

SPARTAAAAAAA

>>4799034

There needs to be a green version, cause Franken Derpy should be green.

Derpy, time to get back to page 0

>>4788959

THIS

I WANT MY SEA DERPY

If anyone has any designs that they've been holding back because they don't want to take up the last spots, just go ahead and submit them, it's been several weeks.

>>4796490

This is a really good question.

The best I can do is provide the Chinese character for "fabric" (面料) and "customize" (定制)

Maybe you could try asking a Taobao agent if they have ever seen any shops custom print fabrics before?

Does anyone have any good pictures of cutsew dresses that I could use as inspiration for my Derpy dress? There are a total of like 3 on Hellolace that I can find. And they all suck.

Just found out from another thread this seamstress is selling dresses on etsy with the derpy prints.

http://www.etsy.com/shop/epicureanwigs?ref=pr_shop

Shes been posted in these threads before because she wasn't aware of the donation part of Derpy Chan but now has "10% of sales from Derpy Pony print dresses with go to farm sanctuary" on her page.

Yayy.

>>4787313
Wow that is a nice skirttt

bamp!

Back to page 0...There's a good Derpy.

Links to people selling Derpy-chan skirts?

>>4793569
the green and blue in the ball that the elephant is standing on, as well as the green and purple in the elephant seem slightly out of place. Perhaps you could add some sort of embellishment to the overall curtain utilizing these colors? Or maybe something to the top area where the stars are falling?

Starry Night Theater would be a good example of what I am talking about. There are interesting little details in the curtains as well as the area on the top of the print where things are floating/falling down.

>>4810885

>>4800353

Yup, Tarot de Derpy was supposed to be based on AatP's Castle of Nightmares print. Someone was meant to be working on art for the cards, but it never materialised sadly.

>>4810885
She already changed the ball to red and cream, in >>4795198

>>4810864

It'd probably be cheaper to buy the fabric yourself and commission someone.

>>4812242
Duly noted! Thanks!

derpy bump

>>4804576
Thank you!

Content bump :0

(1-inch pins)

>>4819490
Those are really cute. Love the first one especially!

just curious did anything ever become of skeleton derp or the tarot cards?

i had a crazy idea i just wanted to put out there....like a print with the addams family as derps, Derpicia, derpez, derp, derpsly, derpday, cousin derp, uncle derpster...lol...maybe a ribbon banner that says "The Derpy Family"

>>4819674

the tarot card idea never went anywhere

if anyone has any finished designs pleaseeee submit them! I really wanna see wave two get finished

>>4819490
those are adorable, where do I get one?

>>4820098
>>4819674

As I'd said just a few posts earlier, someone was supposed to be doing art for the cards, but it never materialized. I wonder if any of that was to do with the suggestions for the designs disappearing when the thread did?

>>4820106

I hadn't thought about selling them (since it's not our art), but I can make them for sale through my Dev Art or something temporarily (etsy is a fee-whore when it comes to selling buttons). Send me a message on DevArt if you're interested, they're 1$ ea and 1.25$ shipping for as many as you'd like.

Got some of the colours done that were suggested. Sorry for taking so long!

>>4821018

>>4821026

>>4821018
I like the black one!

>>4821033

When I said green, I meant more of a franken green, like this...

But I don't think the solid part of the skirt would look good in that shade, maybe use the grays like in the black and gray one, but do the just the horses in the shaded franken greens..

>>4821026
i love it.
