Poster shop? ... any takers? ... thoughts?

Hey, friends!

Okay, so I've been toying with this idea of starting a poster shop. I'm a writer, primarily, but I've always done all my own art for my stories and just really enjoy doing it. I know there are a lot of poster shops out there, so I suppose my first question is: do we really need another one?

Also, I started a one-shot request shop this past year but had to put it on hiatus largely because there were so many requests and I felt kind of overwhelmed. So, if I embark on this poster shop idea, I'd really want a few other designers on board. Any of you have any skills in this area? Can you send me links to examples of posters or other types of graphic art you've done?

I suppose I should also share my art here and ask if I'm even qualified to do this, as again, I'm a writer more than a graphic designer. I've pasted links to some posters I've created below. Please be honest and let me know what you think!

For my K-Pocalypse series:

K-Pocalypse

K-Pocalypse: Part 2

For my one-shot request shop:

(These are banners rather than full-size posters. I only provided links to the first five stories. You can check out the rest here)

For my friends:

The Ace and Sparta's Anthologies

A Spy in Love

For my upcoming fic:

(I don't have a story page to link to because it's in draft mode, so I'll paste the poster here. Stay tuned for this story, btw! I plan to start it as soon as I finish the K-Pocalypse sequel ^_^)

I think I need someone to create covers for my upcoming stories...would you be interested?

Your stories are awesome, but your art...is completely amazing.

You have great skills and I think AFF needs another creative poster shop. Btw if you don't mind, what software do you use for it? :D

but the thing is i've been busy and i'm starting to think that the next poster i'll make would be on summer vacay or hopeful this Christmas break :/ But if you're willing to accept me and wait for me, I'd be really happy :) but if not, it's okay, there are a lot of better people out there ^^

Well i have a postershop
I am a lot better now though
But just an advice! a postershop can be VERY stressful so its better if you have a LOT of designers!

the examples of my work is here Under my name

Oh I think that we always need a new poster shop! It might be a slow start, but yeah I think it's a great idea. You make very nice art too! ^-^

if you have the time and patience to do it, go ahead! however, i had started a poster shop way back in january and i found it kinda stressful after awhile so i had to close mine.
to be completely honestly, your graphics arent amazing. they are, however, decent enough to start a shop. i think that a shop will really improve your graphic making skills. if you need any advice or help on starting your shop or just graphic making in general, feel free to pm me.

I can't make posters!
But I think another poster shop won't kill any one so go ahead! Also if you do could you make me like 2 posters plz for my stories! If you say no its totally fine!
