Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I ask questions about the collab?
You can ask us on our Retrospring or DM our Twitter @crossguildmerch or email [email protected]What is this collaboration about?
This is a project focused on making fan merchandise of Buggy, Dracule Mihawk, and Sir Crocodile, created by a group of Cross Guild artists, creating 1 to 2 pieces of unique merch each.How is this different from a fandom zine?
We are just focused on making physical merch and there will not be an art book/zine to go along with it. It is a "Merch Collab" in the sense that it is a small group of artists collaborating together to design merchandise.Will the collab feature any ships?
This will be up to the individual artists' choice. There might be a mix of art that features romance between the characters, as well as platonic relations.Will the collab feature any AUs?
We will be keeping it close to canon-compliant or canon-adjacent, with allowance for each artist's own interpretation or take of the characters!What is the rating of the collab? SFW/NSFW?
Artists have the choice to do suggestive designs and canon-typical violence, but there will be nothing explicitly NSFW.Will there be spoilers in the collab merch?
Due to the theme of this project there might be manga spoilers up the latest official chapter.How are artists compensated?
We aim to compensate each artist with their own full set of merch with free shipping. If we do not reach break-even with our sales, Pengu will be covering the extra costs to compenstate everyone, and artists can optionally decide to chip in to help with costs.This is for profit or charity?
After compensating all artists, we'll be donating any excess profit to charity. All proceeds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).
