My prints didn't sell too well, however I wound up with so many Commissions that I had to start turning people away. Overall I would call the convention a success, and for whatever convention I can get to next, I know what to prepare for.
Everyone who ordered one was really happy with the result, which always makes me happy as well. I still have a few to mail out though. I took too many orders!And here's a print I made exclusively for Katsucon...... that didn't sell at all. LMAO. I'll have to try pushing all the copies I made at other conventions
As for what other conventions I'm making plans for, they are:
Definitely-
- MoCCA in NYC
- OTAKON in Baltimore
- AnimeEXpo in LA
And Maybe possibly-
- AnimeBoston in Boston
- AnimeNEXT in New Jersey.
- NY Comic-Con/ NY Anime Fest (at the... same time?)
I thought about A-Kon in Texas too, however the tables for that sold a long time ago..
Next post I'll have some more Hansel and Gretel stuff, and maybe a sneak peak at my thesis comic!

I really like the second and fourth in the left column.
There I was thinking many orders are good?!
Question: How do you get your ideas for these characters? Do you use some references and incorporate them? I'm just wondering. I'm more into photography so I shoot what hits my eye as interesting and likable and isn't off limits for taking the picture.
Many orders is sort of good, however, it left me drawing literally all day with no time to see anything else at the convention. Drawing for 12+ hours straight can wear on you...
As for the characters, they're (almost) all existing characters, so I had reference for their designs... but if you mean the poses, I did gesture sketches of the poses I wanted to draw, then used some photo (and a few drawn) references in order to polish them up.
*Enlightened* Thank you. And yes 12+ hours of drawing wears you out, I can understand that. I wouldn't be able to hold the pen after 2 hours of drawing. And doing this at a convention, whew, even more tough.
