AVCON preparation

Mon Mar 9, 2009, 10:03 PM
Heya, anyone in Adelaide here thinking of going to AVCON this year? It's still a long while to go, I think it's end of July sometime. But anyway, the promotional poster (drawn by me) will be launched this Friday, and this year's AVCON is going to be held in the Adelaide Festival Centre, so it should be bigger than last year. Anyway, the details will be out soon, so those of you interested can start planning for it, especially the cosplayers.

Anyway, I'll be in the artist's alley this year, so I was wondering if anyone else here is going to join me there too (or simply plan to come along to AVCON). Considering I'll be away pretty much all of April (a holiday! finally!) I probably should start thinking of what I'm going to make for sale at AVCON. This is actually going to be my first time selling stuff at a convention, so I'm not really sure what would sell.

So any suggestions of what I should be making for AVCON? So far, I'm thinking I'd be selling the 'Artist's version' of the promotional poster (i.e. the poster tweaked the way I would have wanted it), a series of 3 pictures (playing on a RGB - fire,forest,ice theme) as well as "digitally remastering" (i.e. repainting) the old chibi neko pics into a series of 4 or 5 pictures. I don't think I'd be doing any bleach or naruto fanart, I mean, those would probably be popular, but considering I'm not a fan of either it just doesn't feel right. Am I being too naive?

Or maybe I should try offering a tutorial service of some sort if things are a bit quiet. Maybe I'll set an hour or so where I'll say as much as I can about everything I know on either drawing or CG. Either way, I'll work it out when its a bit closer to the date. There are still 4 months left, anyway (and that will be my famous last words.....)

wow i cant believe you designed the poster for avcon that's so great i would love to see your original ideas for the poster they sound really good i would also be very interested in buying some of your work perhaps even just pictures of the avcon mascots or a book mark actually i need a few book marks for my manga lol I'm a big fan of the giving advice idea too it would be great to get some tips on my own work ^^

cool you have done the official poster for AVCon. Quite an honour in my eyes so congrats. Yeah i am definately going, there is no way that i am not.

I dont exactly know what the Artist Alley is yet so i will have to do research and i have no idea what you could have for sale, just come up with some stuff that you thinks looks good i suppose, even some four frame works would be interesting. Though i like your idea about tuts, even if you just gave advice, tips and the like to those who ask would help. Hell any artist still trying to learn would appreciate it, i know i would.

I should be going again this year. Still deciding weather to volunteer again or not.

:iconscotslegend:
Yes - I'll be there!!
And I'll probably bounce over to your stall and buy something... I think some of your tutorials would be a great idea! And I don't think you're being naive about the fanart thing, no point in drawing something you don't really want to sell, lol!

One day, I'll think of something good to write here...
:iconserio555:
Well, I've just uploaded it, this was the one they chose of the several ideas I've pitched. In one of the ideas I had those two fighting each other, but apparently they didn't like it because switch "looks like a pretty boy" :P

Ah well, I though that would've catered to both gender, but they like the mecha idea.
:iconserio555:
Artist alley I think will be stalls for artist to display and sell their wares, and it will be located in the foyer area somewhere. I think there was about 10-15 spots on offer.

I was thinking of making a 4-koma collection, but I still haven't decided on what to parody yet. TTGL would be obvious, so I may try to dig out my old ideas if I have time to do something on that.
:iconserio555:
I'll probably see you there then.
:iconserio555:
True, I suppose there's no point drawing something if you don't enjoy drawing it. Ah well, I'll probably see you there then, and hopefully I can come up with something that doesn't dissappoint.
:iconmimic60102:
cool now i really can't wait and it is still months away... damn you and getting me all excited about AVCon.
