WELL, the school year is getting closer to the end, and I am wrapping up my first year film at CalArts.... (unfortunately the more I watch it the more I hate it, so we'll see if I'll be showing it off on the internet....<____>)


Also, at the end of May I'm going to be going to Fanime in the San Jose convention center with some of my friends from school. I'll be selling prints and I think doing commissions too. SO, if you're going or are in the area come and see me!

AAAALSO this is my first time selling stuff at a convention...so those of you who have done this before please give me advice! Like, how much should prints cost? What size should they be? Is there a certain quality of paper to use?

If you want, you can also go through my gallery (and my old one :iconthepockymonster:) and tell me if theres any work you think I could use that would sell, and also lemme know right now what you think people would want to buy/you would want to buy (please....please don't say hetalia....)

It's nice to read you'll attend a Con and sell your art, Hannah :D I'm sorry I can't be of much help regarding prices (as I haven't done it yet) or materials to use (the names and costs differ greatly from here). I think some colleagues have already answered here, but I believe $10-15 is the "normal" range, not $5 for an 8.5 x 11 print.
If I could go, I'd love to meet you and purchase some of your prints (or even get a commis), but it's a bit far for me ^^; I send you my best wishes anyways ;)

And regarding your animation, I agree with Gerwell: it's your first year, so don't be too hard on yourself :nod:

Anyway, I really do wish you luck at this convention, and I hope you make bank there. I live over the hills and far away, so I can't come, of course.

Also, I hope you decide to post your film (if dA will let you) or at least a link to it. No matter how sick you are of it, you have fans who would love to see something you've spent so much time on.

If I didn't live in an island situated at the Caribbean Sea, I would most likely commission you and buy Katamari/Okami/Ico/Okage prints. :<

YO BB!
I really wish i could attend this convention, i would definitely buy something from you.

I think your style is very catchy, the subjects you use too. Your characters, the colors you use, it should be enough to attract customers. However, like it told someone not so long ago, you can do fanarts of the popular mangas of the moment, and it'll work i guess...Bleach, Naruto, D-Gray Man, etc...
It just depends on your will to do fanarts of things you might not like much.

I think i would like to buy something from Peach-Peke (do i spell that right?), i'm a nut for bookmarks so that would be my main targets haha.

Good luck anyway, and don't be harsh with your animation, it's your first year, you will improve!!
