With a total of 1,176 votes tallied, the preferred plushie poll winner with 28.8% of votes is…

What a close one! Jonathan came in with 27.7%, the mysterious Mr. Morse with 24.9% and, delicious irony of ironies, London Dracula with 18.9%. Rest in pieces. Now, what does all this mean going forward?

First, just to reconfirm: I will absolutely be looking into the costs for having more than one plushie character produced at a time. For all that Mina has the top spot if it comes down to a solo run, Nobody Wants to Separate the Gothic Horror Soulmates, even as wee little plushies. It hurts my heart to think of. Mina and Jonathan deserve to sit side by side on everyone’s pillow. Just as Quinn Morse deserves to haunt the pillow next to theirs while casually throttling and carving London Dracula into pieces. For enrichment.

But beyond that, some other key things:

How is this getting done?

Sadly, I was not a cool enough kid for Makeship to greenlight a collaboration with me. Tragique. But while I was sitting around waiting for them to get back to me, I had time to browse around for other options. During that sniffing around I dug up a couple of promising manufacturers—one of which has some really neat options for not only plush toys, but all sorts of bric-a-brac like stationery, shirts, bags, cups, et cetera—and I plan to reach out to them for quotes to start with. Nothing really gets to move forward until I can nail down prices and the amount of X plushies to be made.

I am more than a little hesitant to tell anyone MAKE ME 1000+ PLUSHIES, PLEASE, THE TUMBLR POLL SAID THEY’RE GOOD FOR IT. These aren’t as simple as print/make-on-demand products, so I need to be careful estimating the amount of folks ready and willing to drop money on the little guys. But I will keep everyone updated on the numbers regardless!

Sooo is this a crowdfunding thing or an investment or what?

Don’t know yet. I am still between jobs at the moment—reminder to check out my Ko-Fi if you want to drop me a buck or commission some art!—but if this is something I can safely drop some of my own money in with the guarantee that it will let me do better than break even, I’ll do what I can out of pocket. However, if the cost of making something of good quality turns out too steep, I’ll start looking into stuff like Kickstarter and Backerkit and so on. I want to be sure I’m not gutting anybody’s wallet to pull this off and I want to be double-sure that what we’re paying for isn’t some flimsy throwaway junk. We are all here on the same Dracula book club starving artist site, so It Has to Be Worth It and not a money-sink for anyone.

Got it. Any other info to spare?

For the plushies specifically, this is when I’ll start:

Polishing up the current four designs into cleaner illustrations with different angles to provide for mockup samples with whoever I pick to manufacture with. If I get stuck on something—(which is likely)—I may throw up another poll to bug everyone about palettes and fashion choices. I have a few more designs I haven’t dropped yet for Epilogue Harkers, a non-Bloofer Lucy, and keychains that I’d love to share too!

Eyeballing materials. I’m already picturing a very close-cut cloth for the build and clothes, but I need to decide on filling too. Stiff overstuffing to hold a pose versus softer/lighter plush for floppy cuddleability. 

Poking at other character roughs, ala the Suitor Squad, the Weird Sisters, Van Helsing, Renfield, and Baby Quincey. And if all of those go well…

…maybe some designs for other favorites in the public domain playground. (Looks meaningfully at Clarimonde, Carmilla, Victor Frankenstein and the Creature, the King in Yellow, too many others.) ((But that’s all far-future stuff at the moment.))

Cool! But you also mentioned something about other merch?

I did.

Because goddamn do I want some Dracula-themed stationery. Journals! Memo pads! Pens! Every day we don’t have these things with the Harkers’ mark upon them is a victory for the forces of Count Dracula’s document-destroying evil. Likewise for shirts, totes, mugs, keychains, face masks and other things that could use some novel-flavored goodies. Hell, I’ll probably even get on with making stuff for The Vampyres to link on my website too. Because I am. Maybe behind on that. By several months.

Anyway.

I’ve got to start working on some designs for those too while the plushie process is progressing. Pray that my carpals don’t get tunneled.

Nice! Sounds like your plate is pretty full. So that’s it, right?

:)

Arcane?

:3c

Arcane. I need you to tell me this is all you’re working on.

>:}

Arcane.

Please stand by.

I have a little treat brewing for the Dracula Dailiers and @re-dracula folks in honor of a very special day for our good friend Jonathan Harker.

How to Mastering Surface Design Skills

Surface design is a dynamic and ever-evolving field that blends creativity, technical skills, and market awareness. Whether you're designing prints for textiles, home decor, stationery, or digital applications, developing strong surface design skills is essential to creating standout patterns that attract brands, manufacturers, and buyers.

But what exactly does it take to improve your surface design skills? Is it simply about creating beautiful patterns, or does it involve a more strategic approach? In this guide, Patternfield will explore comprehensive techniques to refine your design process, build a compelling portfolio, and develop a signature style that sets you apart.

2. How to improve your Surface Design Skill?

1. Practice Drawing Regularly

One of the most effective ways to improve your surface design skills is by practicing drawing regularly. Even if you primarily work digitally, sketching by hand helps you strengthen your artistic foundation. It allows you to develop a better understanding of composition, shapes, textures, and intricate details, which are crucial for creating compelling patterns.

To build a strong habit, dedicate time each day to drawing, whether it is simple doodles, botanical sketches, or abstract compositions. Experiment with different line weights and shading techniques to enhance depth and dimension. Keeping a visual journal or sketchbook can also be beneficial, serving as a collection of ideas and inspirations that you can refine later in your digital work.

For those who prefer working on tablets, applications like Procreate and Adobe Fresco provide an excellent bridge between traditional and digital illustration. Practicing hand-drawn elements and later digitizing them ensures that your designs retain an authentic, handcrafted feel.

2. Study Color Theory and Trends

Color plays a crucial role in surface design, influencing how a pattern is perceived and whether it resonates with its intended audience. To improve your use of color, it is essential to study color theory and how different palettes interact. Understanding concepts such as complementary, analogous, and triadic color schemes allows you to make more intentional choices in your designs.

In addition to mastering color relationships, staying updated with current design trends is equally important. Industry trends in fashion, home décor, and stationery often dictate what colors are in demand. Researching trend forecasts from sources like Pantone, WGSN, and major retailers can help you create designs that are both contemporary and commercially appealing.

Experimenting with different palettes is another effective way to refine your skills. Try building a personal color inspiration board using tools like Adobe Color or Pinterest, and analyze how successful designers use color combinations to enhance their patterns.

3. Experiment with Different Layouts and Repeats

Surface design is built around repeating patterns, but not all repeats are created equal. Understanding different repeat structures allows you to create more visually dynamic and versatile designs. Common pattern layouts include full-drop repeats, half-drop repeats, brick repeats, and tossed layouts.

Each layout serves a different purpose. Half-drop and brick repeats, for example, create a more natural, flowing appearance, while tossed layouts give a playful and organic feel. By experimenting with these structures, you can develop patterns that look professional and well-balanced.

In addition to technical proficiency, it is important to test your repeats across various applications, such as fabric, wallpaper, and packaging, to ensure they scale correctly. Using mockups or platforms like Spoonflower can help you visualize how your designs appear on real-world products.

4. Develop a Signature Style

With so many surface designers in the industry, developing a signature style is crucial for standing out. A unique artistic voice helps potential clients and buyers recognize your work instantly. Instead of trying to emulate every design trend, focus on refining the elements that make your work distinctive.

Your signature style might emerge through a specific approach to color, line work, texture, or recurring themes. Take time to analyze your past work and identify patterns in your creative choices. Creating mood boards can also help you define your aesthetic, whether you prefer intricate hand-drawn florals, bold geometric patterns, or delicate watercolor textures.

While it is important to have a cohesive style, versatility is equally valuable. Some designers have multiple signature styles suited for different markets, from fashion textiles to home décor and stationery. Finding a balance between uniqueness and adaptability can expand your opportunities in the industry.

5. Enhance Your Digital Skills

Most modern surface designers rely on digital tools to refine and enhance their work. Mastering industry-standard software such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and Affinity Designer allows you to create high-quality patterns with precision and efficiency. Illustrator, for example, is particularly useful for creating seamless vector patterns, while Photoshop excels in texture-rich and painterly designs.

If you are new to digital design, consider taking online courses on platforms like Skillshare or Domestika. These courses offer step-by-step guidance on techniques such as vectorizing hand-drawn illustrations, using clipping masks, and automating pattern repeats. The more comfortable you become with these tools, the faster and more efficiently you can create professional-quality designs.

In addition to learning software techniques, staying updated on new digital trends and tools can further enhance your work. Experimenting with Procreate for hand-drawn elements or incorporating 3D mockups into your presentations can elevate the way you showcase your designs.

6. Get Feedback and Engage with the Design Community

Growth as a designer often comes from receiving constructive feedback and engaging with other creatives. By sharing your work with peers, mentors, or online communities, you gain fresh perspectives that can help refine your designs.

There are numerous ways to connect with the surface design community. Online platforms like Behance, Dribbble, and Instagram provide spaces to showcase your work and receive valuable input. Participating in design challenges or joining Facebook groups dedicated to surface design can also help you expand your network and stay inspired.

Feedback from industry professionals is particularly valuable if you are looking to license your work or collaborate with brands. Many experienced designers offer portfolio reviews or mentorship opportunities, which can provide insights into improving your presentation, refining your designs, and positioning yourself for commercial success.

7. Build a Strong Portfolio and Market Your Work

A well-curated portfolio is one of the most important tools for any surface designer. It serves as a showcase of your best work and plays a crucial role in attracting clients, securing licensing deals, and building your reputation.

Your portfolio should include a variety of seamless patterns that highlight your versatility and technical expertise. Presenting your designs in real-world applications—such as on textiles, wallpaper, stationery, and packaging—helps potential clients envision how your work fits their brand. Using professional mockups enhances the visual appeal of your portfolio and makes your work more marketable.

In addition to building a strong portfolio, marketing your work effectively is essential. Having a personal website or using platforms like Etsy, Spoonflower, and Society6 can help you reach potential buyers. Social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are also excellent for increasing visibility, especially when using strategic hashtags and engaging with the design community.
