So selling was really fun!!!! even though I didn't make much money xD... but anyway, I met some cool people and got to see some amazing things in the Artist's Alley.

Anyway.... I'm gonna link pictures!!! I mostly took pictures of people that cosplayed characters I liked... such as Phoenix Wright people and Gundam 00. xD But anyawy... took some pics of the booth, the things I got... and other random stuff. Here goes~

This was what I sold at my table: keychains galore!! and MORE and then drew THIS... i was bored... and is it disturbing? xD

Table next to mine was AMAZING... the girl, Tiffany, made everthing by herself. She is amazingly talented: lookie here (the one at the table is my cousin, not Tiffany though xD). Anyway, I even bought one of her pins cuz they were so hot: RIGHT?

We tried on some of Tiffany's headbands: cute~

Then I went shopping and bought SETSUNA!!!: isn't he hot? He helped me advertize my table: See? Anyway, since I had Setsuna-obsession, I got a chibi of him done.... he's just so cute HERE!!!

There were people dancing to Hare Hare Yukai: lol

Anyway... some cool cosplayers: Maya and Gumshoe , Phoenix and Godot , Franziska , Allelujah Haptism! , Pitt from BRAWL , Vampire Knight , Ed from Full Metal Alchemist

Overall, besides the Setsuna figure, Setsuna chibi drawing, and Tiffany's pin, I got: a Soma figure (no picture), Chibi Fllay (er... not sure I like this one... Kira is crying!!), this cool drawing of Little Red Riding Hood, and a self portrait (no picture). cool ne?

ANYWAY, it was really really fun having a table. Next time I will put more effort into the table... ♥. 

PS- I'M STUCK IN APOLLO JUSTICE. I asked people at the convention, but they didn't know T.T... Then I asked the Franziska cosplayer and she was gonna help me, but then I realized my sister had my DS. UGH..... lol.

 Also.... Posted some of my anime/manga artwork over at [info]natsupop_icons. Not that great, but please take a look at it. Arigato!! ^___^!

Sorry I haven't been updating for awhile now.... for about a month. Art school has been crazy and sucks time away like crazy T.T.

Anyway, just as an update, I'm going to AnimeNEXT in June! I might even get a table for Artists Alley, so I'm really excited :D. However, I've never gotten a table before, so I'm kinda scared. Plus, I don't even have any good friends going with me to watch the table for me. What should I do?! Well, to ease my fears, I looked online for some advice on selling at conventions and I got some very good info. Nevertheless, it kinda makes me even more scared though, because I am going to have to try to talk to as much people as possible into buying my stuff. I'm a really shy and pessimisstic person, so I'm a little worried >.>. I asked my friend though, and she said I should do it even if it's just for the practice of selling my art. But anyway, my drawings aren't the only thing I'm going to sell (because I know my drawings aren't good enough to get much much $$). 

Things I may be selling:
-prints of my drawings (original art because I suck at fanart... would this even sell?)
-earrings
-pins
-bookmarks

Does anyone have experience they can share or even just an opinion? Should I do this at all?!? :O... maybe i should wait for another convention when I can get a friend to share the table with me.... Ah, i need help >_<.

So we, my sister and I, finally "cosplayed" for the "anime convention" at [info]animatesanime. It was a lot of fun but oh-so-tiring!!! The pics my little sis took of me were significantly better than the ones I took of her. Maybe I just fail like that or we were reeeeeaaalllly tired (I like to believe the 2nd excuse). I was going to dress up in a school girl outfit as well but well.... we really were too worn out to do another "photoshoot." Therefore, you'll have to settle for just the yukatas~ haha. 

Why not anime characters?: Simply because I can't sew and buying costumes seem to be pretty expensive....

When/where I got the yukatas: I got my yukata about 2 years ago in Yokohama, Japan, in some department store. It was on sale for 6000 yen :D. I bought my sister's at some temple (Asakusa...??? forget).

Anyway, sorry for the messiness. The yukatas don't look the neatest but we tried our best to put it on right ^___^;;;;. So... here goes!
