Comments from illustrators who used the service
I was overwhelmed with gratitude to be able to produce such high quality goods without having to worry about stock since they are sold entirely on a made-to-order basis!
For me, who is not able to participate in events such as sales events very often, the opportunity to deliver goods to my fans was extremely valuable and I was very grateful.
I often use blues and purples in my illustrations, and I often find the colors fade when printed, which is disappointing, but X ART's products are vibrant and beautiful, and I'm really happy that I can deliver the original drawings to my fans.
It was also very helpful that I didn't have to worry about inventory management or sales, so I could concentrate solely on illustration!
