Sounds great. I'm very happy for you.

Hello, I hope I'm not bothering anyone with this, but, as someone who's new to all this and has been drawing and painting traditionally all her life, I have a couple questions:
-What's the recommended canvas/picture size when working on different types of merch (postcards, charms, etc)?
-I did check the resources spreadsheet in OP's post, but I was wondering if there were any fellow (South) European artists who would recommed any sites in particular, since most places seem to be US based and I don't know how expensive shipping can get?
Overall I just wish it were easier to find other artists in my area...

>attending first out-of-hometown con for the weekend with friends
>have cosplay plans with friend on Sunday; nothing planned for Saturday
>decide to use leftover fabric to make a puffy cicle skirt to go with a cute frilly button down shirt I already own, just to wear something fancier than normal clothes
>get lots of compliments for my outfit from people at the con
>at one point I notice a girl in a Princess Tutu costume from afar: it looks accurate and she seems cute so I want to ask for a pic, but friends are going in a different direction and it's really crowded, so I decide to give up on her for now and follow them as to avoid getting lost
>at lunch time, sitting on steps outside one of the con buildings, I raise my head while talking to friends and see Tutu walking towards us with this really shy expression
>she stops right in front of me
>HOLY SHIT SHE'S CUTE so I smile at her
>she blushes a bit and smiles back holy shit holy shit
>does little hand wave thing and goes, "Hi, sorry but I saw you earlier and I wanted to tell you that you're really cute and your outfit is adorable"
>I do my best not to freak out right there and then, instead I smile like crazy and thank her, telling her that I love her costume and PT and that she looks absolutely lovely
>Tutu giggles, blushes more, thanks me and explains that she's not wearing her necklace and crown because they weren't ready yet, but they would be tomorrow, so she would totally show me since I was a PT fan too
>"Of course! I absolutely want to see them, everything looks already so accurate they must be great, I can't wait!"
>Tutu does her cute giggle again
>suddenly, her friends are yelling at her to join them to go check out some stuff in a different place
>Tutu smiles apologetically says she'll see me tomorrow if we don't bump into each other again before then
>"I-I'm looking forward to it!"
>"M-Me too!" and leaves
>friends go wow what was that and start teasing me as I hide my face between my hands

Would cute (and less notable) taobao finds be a bad idea for OC, considering how many taobao blogs there are?
A lot of my followers are dead after a hiatus (like year long + 1 month return in between) so I'm finding it difficult for some of my things to reach. Old followers were for anime content too.
Is there a way to strategically tag posts as well? (I vaguely remember a couple of months ago, an anon said that the first tag is "highest importance")

Oh my god, maybe it is just you posting her pictures and I'm confusing you with everyone. My life is a god damned lie.

Just be obnoxious about wanting your job. Call back every three days, smile like you're stupid during the interview, let your employer know you're willing to be a human guinea-pig, that type of jazz. Restaurants and retail aren't looking to employ geniuses; they're looking for gophers.
