Artist Alley suggestions (buttons, calendar?)
« on: February 10, 2010, 09:21:51 AM »
Hello everybody!
So, a friend and I are going to be getting a table at the artist alley this year and we were wondering what you would like to see from us.
We are definitely doing buttons, since everyone likes buttons. I was also thinking of maybe doing some small calendars? The calendar will most likely be full of chibis.

We are going to be drawing lots of fanart as well. We want to know if you would like us to make prints, or do you care?

In-con sketches and commissions are gonna happen as well!

Fanart is awesome~  :ThumbUp: I like the calender idea too, you should do different Anime's for each calender.   :-D

The calender idea is cool, I haven't seen something like that in the Artists Alley before. :D

Okay, so a calendar is definitely a possibility...but what should I put in it? fanart or original?
And if it's fanart people want, I'm not exactly sure what is really popular these days  :Drop: Maybe I could do a KH2 calendar featuring organization 13? :D

You could do a different series for each page! There's always a load of KH stuff...

Do you guys need business cards? I can make some for you two for free, if you'd like! ^_^
That way you can have your DA on it, and pass them out to people xP

Well it turns out I didn't make the cut, and I'm really pissed. I had stuff all made already and it was just a waste of money.

Hey now, I wouldn't call it a waste of money. Set up an Etsy shop or sell it off your deviantart, also there's always other cons going on when PortCon isn't. You can always try your luck elsewhere or wait to see if a slot opens up.
If all you have is a hammer, all problems are nails. Unless they're bolts, then they're bolts.

I didn't get a table either :( I had no idea so many people wanted a table... I can only hope slots open up I guess...

The only reason I wanted a table at Portcon was so I didn't have to transport all our stuff to a different con. Portcon is the closest one to home. And by the time a slot WOULD open up, I wouldn't have time to get my stuff together :(

I could try AAC I suppose. But my friend wouldn't be able to go.

I hear you. My boyfriend and I had a bunch of plans for portcon but now we are probably going to sell stuff online for a while. With my luck Ill get a table towards the end when I no longer have stuff to sell! But I REALLY hope some people drop out or dont pay so I can get a table :( I dont know any other cons close to Maine I could go to... I should look into it.

Best of luck to us both :)
