Anime Convention Review

Mon Oct 26, 2009, 2:55 AM
I say review but frankly there is very little I can tell you about the whole thing since I barely moved 20 feet away from my booth. So yeah, I missed the cosplay contests, AMV contests and pretty much everytghig else that was in the programm. Couldn't even touch the gaming section, it was that packed with people.

For those who wonder, yes, I , together with a friend of mine, had a wonderfull art booth at this convention, where we sold wondeful art together :D
Pictures will be uploaded eventually, I have yet to get them from a friend.
I had a booth last year aswell, but was far less successful. Last year it was full of Original Art, and while I received praises and positive comments, my stuff didn't sell so well. I still managed to cover all my costs and have a little money left over but it didn't do so well all over. So this year I did more Fanarts and the difference was substantial.
Not to say my original stuff didn't sell well, but compared to the Fanarts.... And by fanart I mean a whole lot of Bleach stuff, a few xxxholic Bookmarks and one DB poster.

But to be honest, I prefer to do original stuff. There is a big difference in the pride you feel when you sell a piece that's 100% yours. Oh well, the "artist" part in me sulks while the economy student part in me is happy and pleased.
I can't tell you how surprised I was when an original drawing was sold. I had set the price pretty high because part of me was hoping they wouldn't sell, cause I kinda grow attached to my drawings. Particulary those done in copic markers and spend a lot time and effort on. Again, sad artist, happy economist.

One note worthy fact about the entire convention was the number of people that participated this year. A LOT more than last year. Which means that the anime community in my humble little country is growing :D
Not mention that the quality in cosplayers went up a couple of notches. I'm not a fan of cosplay, but this year they were quite a number of what I woud call decent if not good cosplayers.

I DO NOT do porn or anything that can be interpretat as sexual, incest, racism, pedofilic or simply anything I don't feel confortable with.


I'm pretty familiar with most popular anime fandoms so you can choose almost anythig and in case I don't know it I'll research it. It can also be an original story. If there's something I think I can't do I will tell you right away but I don't think that' ll be the case.
Everything will be digital but I will only upload it where you want or send it to you as a zip file. I will ask for permission to upload it here though.

Hi Michsi!

I wanted to ask permission to translate some of your doujinshis to Spanish.
In my fansub traslate doujinshis of all couples of Naruto and other animes, this is my web
[link]

And of course, we put in the credits that the work is you and a direct link to your gallery.
:iconsesshomarutaisho:
Let me start off by saying you are a truly wonderful artist and do some truly magnificent work! Particularly the Bleach and DBZ art, I haven't seen many artists who do work for both fandoms. Second, I'd be quite interested in commissioning you. Problem is I have a couple of ideas, but can't decide which to ask for. I'm on a major Bleach and DBZ kick right now...
:iconmichsi:
Thanks, I'm glad you like what I do :)

And don't worry, you can take your time. At this moment I'm working on some stuff for an upcomming anime convention and after that I have to finish a prior commission, so no rush :)
:iconsesshomarutaisho:
What currency are your commission prices listed in?
:iconmichsi:
Dollars. Thought it's be easier since it's the most internationally used currency.
:iconsesshomarutaisho:
Awesome. This'll be kind of an interesting request because when you're in multiple fandoms you tend to kinda mix 'em. Would you be willing to draw DBZ's Bardock as a soul reaper?
:iconspider-naraku:
My my, You must work hard on all those doujins. You seem like quite a devoted artist. Very nice work. ^^
And also, have you ever considered an icon for your account?

:iconmichsi:
Thx :) Well becomming a comic book artist (managa style) is kinda my goal, so yeah, I try to perfect my skill through doujinshis. :)
And yeah, I've been meaning to chose an icon but I always forget.
:iconspider-naraku:
I think you'll make fine comic book artist! Keep up the good work and have fun with it! ^^
I ask about your icon because I love seeing peoples icons.
