  Even Amazon can have fake copies with the way sellers all pool the same items together in warehouses. You can buy one time and get legit products and the next time it could be a fake. It's a huge issue at Amazon especially in makeup and skincare. I recommend looking up some counterfeit investigation videos if you're curious.

  Alcohol marker pro tip if you're ever working on paper where the markers bleed outside the lines a lot: get a clear blending marker (not sure if Ohuhu has one, but Copic does), use it to 'color' in an area you really want to avoid bleeding (like little details), and LET IT COMPLETELY DRY, then try coloring that area with your regular markers. I've noticed that it's often only the first layer of color that bleeds badly, but once it's dry, it seems to 'lock' the paper fibers a bit, making further layers bleed less. So why not use a clear marker to 'pre-lock' the paper before coloring? It won't necessarily completely stop bleeding, but it usually helps a lot.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89I_UPSaPDo&amp;t=454">7:34</a> The KDP version is that price on Amazon because if we don’t list for their required minimum of $9.99 we lose a chunk of our royalties to Amazon. I had my books at $9.95 and didn’t realize the change last year. I lost months worth of my full portion of royalties because my books were 4¢ less than their new minimum. Bigger companies and corporations can afford to undercut prices and sell more as well as pay for ads more than independent artists can.

  I couldn’t focus on anything else after you colored the ponytail of the dog red 😅I was hoping you were going to notice on the next book, but I loved the comparison 💕

  The tik tok version reminds me of pre published samples/test runs that are made to send out and get feed back. They have a name but i can&apos;t think of it. They are similar to artists proofs in art. They don&apos;t have all the isbn bardcodes as they are not meant for sale. They are sent out for people to try out or read if its a regular book as a final test before sending it to market.

  There’s also subtle changes of the image in the publish book compared to the other 2. Like they saw flaws and fixed em in that version.

  Honestly looking at the thumbnail, I really did NOT expect these books to be so different 😳 fascinating for sure!

  I think the TikTok one is the original, then they published through Amazon. I published through Amazon KDP and they have guidelines that you need to follow before publishing. Random House has even more guidelines and rules to follow before publishing. So I&apos;m sure that&apos;s why each of them are a little different.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89I_UPSaPDo&amp;t=790">13:10</a> Now THIS is interesting because each one of these ducks is very slightly different to one another!<br><br>The Random House duck is very round and chubby, with short blunt wings and a rounded tail. His beak is a bean, his two hair tufts are symmetrical and round, and his face is looking slightly upwards in joy. His body is slightly smaller and he is a bit shorter. He is unique to all the other ducks.<br><br>The Tiktok duck is very very slightly thinner than the Amazon duck, but they are otherwise identical. The Tiktok duck looks like someone took the Amazon duck and just kind of smooshed it sideways a little bit. It is very noticeable looking at the back of his head, and how much his chest sticks out less.<br><br>The Amazon duck&apos;s wings are very slightly thinner vertically than the Tiktok duck&apos;s, and his outline is slightly thinner overall too. <br><br>Very, very, very interesting!
