Minicomi is gone~thank everyone that supports me!
i just signed up for J-fest which is another smaller convention at Douglas College, New Westminster, BC (just got to know it at the Minicomi randomly told by friend orz|||
J-fest will be on July 14, i'll probably bring my leftovers plus/minus some replenished work ||| don't know how it'd go...
this time i'll share table with
and
at table #7-8, right beside the entrance door, don't come if you already saw me at Minicomi coz it'd be the same old stuff orz|||
if you go to Anime Revolution, check out
~
and
will be in all conventions you can ever go to (kind of...
the following are intended for
and anyone who'd like to know details about Minicomi experience:
so it's pretty much the same artists, i realize something important: girl characters sell better than guy characters, and fanarts sell better than oc...so draw more girl fanarts as much as p! some people sell prints (11x17ish) for up to $12, but i go for $7 each and 2 for $10, i sold out my kuroshitsuiji ones (they go really well especially sebastian...) sold out my letter size prints (didn't print much anyway) and sold out DRRR and Reborn, still got the half of the newer pieces left, my bookmarks and photos from last year go well this year too (i guess the price is cheap, like 2 bookmarks for $1 and 1 photo for $1-2)... and of course most buyers are girls orz||| there are at least 5 tables that got better sales, they mostly sell cute girls such as miku, oh and my total sale is 206$, cost is ~ 80-90$, so i consider this as not too bad|||
the experience itself is quite draining but fun, i sat at the table almost falling asleep during the afternoon hours when people stop coming, but when they do come, it was pleasant to see they gasping in front of your work, got some fans coming over to compliment you (without buying lol) and feeling proud when people are holding your work in their hands when they walk by, my shelves work ok, but other people use tubes from home depot or sth to hang their stuff higher they look quite catchy from far away lol
it's extremely tiring after the day, and good that i have friends to help me out or it'd be too boring = =
so good luck to you and all that are going to a convention!! hope my experience comes to help with preparation~
