Lancer sticker ideas, please.
🕑 Added 2021-08-14 16:14:28 +0000 UTCThis is a somewhat unusual post and I'm leaving it open for all followers to reply. I am planning on drawing some Lancer character stickers to use in the Discord server and to sell on the upcoming Lancer Merch Store as actual physical stickers for people to buy, but the only catch is that I need to come up with a list of ideas to draw. These will be in a cuter / simpler style than how I typically draw the characters, both to make it faster / easier to draw them without cutting into my Patreon and comic obligations, and because the simpler style will look better when displayed in a small format. On the merch store I am hoping to fit 4 stickers on a sheet that will be available in sizes ranging from 3x3" (7.62cm) to 8x8" (20.32cm). I feel like with that in mind I should be aiming to give each character their own sticker sheet, so 4 stickers for each character.
So here's where you all come in, just share ideas you have for stickers you'd be interested in in the comments below. The only real guidelines are that each sticker should involve one character, be a full body shot, the theme should be cute and / or funny, and the suggestions should be "family friendly," i.e. nothing that would be inappropriate for kids. There's no formal process by which ideas will get picked, I am just interested in seeing what you, as hypothetical discord users and future merch store customers are interested in, and I need ideas. There's no limit on how many ideas you can suggest, but try to keep it down to what you think your best ideas are and not like a huge wall of random stuff. Ultimately, I'll be picking whichever ideas I like best and probably use a couple of my own too.
Side note, the regular Patreon sketch suggestions and color nominations are coming soon, for those of you in the $10 and up tier. I just want to make sure I get the last July sketch done so you'll have all the July sketches in the color archive when nominations start.

There will be more ship-focused merch in the future, probably including some stylized / chibi stickers of the ships to match the character stickers, although I need to make sure I focus on one product at a time.

Aww... So no chibi star ships?

So I did some digging around the Internet and found some webcomics and how they do merchandise. I obviously recommend you stick true with your word on being appropriate for everyone to buy stickers. These stickers should range from chibi-style of your characters like Mika to the Lancer: Knights of Fenris logo as some examples. I also saw in your Discord your idea of doing the Houses' Flags, Coat of Arms, that type of stuff on coffee mugs. I would suggest that as well, but since you've yet to introduce more Houses outside of Fenris and Bastet, save the coffee mugs idea for a later date. Make the House logos into stickers as well. Now these you can do minimum work on these, but when you have time to do the maximum detail that you put in your comic, you can do them with posing stances that speaks to their character. And the final set you should do is your characters making faces like happiness, goofy, embarrassment, and anger (reserve for bad guys and whatnot). Hopefully I gave you some ideas to consider.

I think lil ships would be nice with (Pew Pew) at the end of them, the Faces winking, possibly have their weapons. the whole Star Fox faces you did before would be nice stickers/ emotes too

I think chibi stickers would be neat general character stickers (in there flight suits/casual clothes) and also the obligatory swimsuit stickers.
