Inktober Pencil Work onto T-Shirts?
-
@Heather-Boyd - I think it again just depends on your comfort level and what you want. Either way, I think she definitely needs your approval before making it into t-shirts. If you would like to be compensated for your work then I think it is totally within your right to ask for compensation.

If they are a "friend" and not someone that reached out to buy your art and they are only going to make it a shirt for themselves then I would just let them invest in making it. But if they were someone who reached out and purchased your art and now want to make shirts I would let them know it would cost them for you to prepare the files for print.
Its more of a form of flattery that they want to wear your work. I see this a lot with tattoos, people taking an artist work and getting it tattooed. The artist does not get paid for someone to get it tattooed but they get to use it as a device of promotion.

@Chip-Valecek What if I used a service like RedBubble or Society66 that way she would be able to purchase the shirt (it's going to cost money either way) and then others would be able to purchase it as well? It was from Inktober but I did redraw and updated my skills to create hers.
You have all been super helpful.

@Heather-Boyd If you go that route then you would make money on it. I would mention to her that you are setting up a shop to sell shirts and then have her go that route. I just started a shop on threadless, super easy to use and you can have all sorts of products ready to go really quick.

I have shops on Zazzle, and it's possible to sell a shirt to someone with no royalty to you, if that's what you'd like to do. She will still pay the basic cost for the shirt and for shipping. Also, if you set it up, you could choose to sell additional shirts (with a royalty mark-up) to other people. And you'd control the artwork and the royalty amount.

No offense if I'm misunderstanding, but these last two posts are spam, right? It just seems to be exactly what i've read about where bots will scan text to see phrases like "art would look good on a Tshirt" and then steal your images. Here's an explanation of what I'm talking about: https://www.boredpanda.com/bots-t-shirt-design-artwork-theft/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic

@Valerie-Light No yep definitely a bot. Why comment on a post that's 2 years old and comment the same thing a month later?
