Oh yeah, I don't think I'd ever draw fanart for something I didn't like. My big problem with fanart, is making the characters actually looking like themselves. o.O It just never looks right to me, I dunno. *shrugs* I'll figure something out.

Oh, and I just signed up for Artscow through your refferal link, =P holycow, so much free stuff. How much is shipping for them generally?

XD I had that problem at first too, especially when you di it in your own style. It helps not to worry about it so much and remind yourself that it's in your style. :B

Artcow shipping tends to be rather high since they're shipping from overseas, but they do have deals where there's free shipping, or the free stuff itself offsets it. ^^ Their 8x10 prints are still the cheapest around I've found, including shipping.

Legal bump.

I hope my stickers arrive today. whee

[AEAcomics]

Well, my box is packed and ready to go. All that's left is getting change and snacks.

[Seijaku_Ishida]

My stickers arrived today. they're actually very nice looking! I'm not sure I'd buy them at regular price, but even so. :3

I've forgotten where you ordered them from now... ^^

Say, Seijaku, did you get a confirmation that they received your application for Ohayocon? I haven't received one, and they've been ducking answering the question on their forum, so I'm really, REALLY nervous.

ugh, please. Someone gimme a brick to throw at this guy.
Swear to god, this guy is like... slowly making the AA artists at this con loathe him.

After his super long debate with a couple of us on aim, with him proclaiming "crafts aren't art, and don't belong in artist alley", as in you know. Hand crafted pins, charms, painted anime shoes, etc. Anything that isn't a print, he comes into my thread, and pulls this.
This guy disgusts me.
He cares about artist alley SO MUCH, that

We even decided to add non artist Tables for $100 for those people who do crafts and advertise and stuff.

NON-ARTIST tables for people who do crafts.... so...
$100 if you do something besides prints. ANYTHING. Where did this price come from, versus the $40 that the normal AA is?


Like... I'd understand if there was more basis to it. But. Over the ENTIRE weekend that the artists debated with him, the only reason it's happening is because he doesn't like crafts. That's all.
It's great, because it's always been in the rules of the con that the crafts are allowed.



Sorry for the rant, guys. I just had to go to some people that would... you know. Understand. =/
