Hahaha hey!
umm thinking about selling 4-5 pieces, which means I still have to draw 2... or three....

uhhhh....

The Strangers one, the Mugi one (after I fix their faces), an Avengers one (which I need to draw x__x), maybe a random fantasy one, and I was hoping to sell Coming Home but the dpi is really low...

u? what do you think? it's my first time so I'm a TOTAL nub, so I apologize if I have no idea what I'm doing.

Hey hey!

I think they're all really good ideas. ^^ I love the Strangers one. The Mugi one should be popular with a little editting though. It's really, really cute! C:
Hmm...Maybe Coming Home can be small prints. Where were you going to print? It's getting to be late, so I don't think you can do online printing without it costing a lot to ship...

I just posted a journal with my wares ahah. I'm a shameful fanart seller. I want to do some original arts next year. But for this year...it's still all fanart on my end. D: I hear bookmarks are popular too. Maybe you can do some of them, since they don't cover too much surface area.

LOL OMG YOUR ID. IS BEAUTIFUL. AHAHAHAHAHA. <3

OH DUUUUUDE. YOUR WARES. OMG. I feel like an underachiever now T___T and I would draw nonstop starting now but that'd give me an entire... two new drawings x__x

hahaha nahh everyone's telling me to do fanart because it sells better xD idk. I'd do One Piece but I don't like drawing in that style. I love your stuff btw, great work *q*

any suggestions for fanart? xD I've watched the beginnings of Tiger and Bunny, Ao no Exorcist, and umm yeah I don't really watch anime :/

LMFAO. Our teacher made us do a Stats project with oranges and we got to keep them afterwards, so THAT happened, LOL.

You're out of school now though, right? Lots of time to draw! You have two weeks! I only had 4 prints my first year. I just added 8 more, haha.

Fanart tends to sell better, yes. I think you should do One Piece in your style! I think a realistic One Piece would be BADASS. Can you do it?! It's better to draw things your style. Most people go to the Artist alley to see that, you know? C: They don't like it too much if you draw each fanart in the style of the original, unless that's your actual style.

Pokemon is always popular. xD Hetalia too. You can even do KHR if you wanted. I did two KHR pieces. I would have done more, but I ran out of time. Tiger and Bunny yaoi...that should be popular. -slapped- I don't see Ao no Exorcist too often, so I think that would be a good option too.

ASDKLJALSFKJASDLKJASLJ OKAY.

Edited their faces in the K-ON piece but they still look awkward ;-; WHY IS ANIME SO HARD IGIVEUP

OMG suddenly I have SO many ideas for things I want to do but not enough time. Do you know where to get business cards really fast and really cheap? D:

Fishenod In reply to shanghai-lights [2012-05-21 03:46:45 +0000 UTC]

Lol don't draw anime! Just do your own style. C:

I kinda do. There's a place in Oakland that does it very cheaply. [link] I never used them though, but my friend found it. She's the master of cheap things LOL. -slapped-
I don't think business cards are very important though. Mine didn't do shit for me LOL. -slapped- Except maybe get me a couple new watchers. And i literally mean a couple. Only one girl remembered me from Fanime. ;n; I love her cuz of that HAH.

I suggest just printing about 15-20 copies of each piece. I should have did that my first con, but I wised up this year. Kept my prints down to 20-30.

It's fine it's fine! I'm here to help!

At least until after Wednesday; I have midterms and stuff until then. And maybe a little after, when we finish the draft for our Japanese project. And then maybe-
oh okay fine. Given my procrastination track record, an actual timeframe cannot be defined. >_> <_<

Joleen also has a copy of all the photos and I think she plans on editing some too? Although from the looks of things she's pretty busy too.
