Animazement 2014 Con Report!

Well that was fast!

The convention came and went a lot quicker than I imagined it would.  A lot of work went into this and I'm happy to say that we did manage to pull it off.  It was a lot of hard work and plenty of frustration at first but by the time we finished setting up on Thursday night I was feeling a little better about the whole thing. 

Open For Business!

The stand looked awesome and went together very well.  By far it was the best set up I had ever had for an artist alley.  Things weren't really easy though and I didn't do as well as I did last year.  I feel like this mostly had to do with my location.  Artist alley was very, very large this year.  That alone didn't bode well for some artists.  A lot of competition, albeit friendly.

For those that got stuck in the little alcove off to the side, that location was simply awful for business.  With that location people had to actually seek you out in order to really find you.  It wasn't just me it was everyone unfortunate enough to be stuck in this barren corner.

I don't really have a picture to accurately display my frustration at being stuck here.  This was taken before things really got busy.  From the balcony, after things picked up, you could really tell that most of the traffic was through the middle and the little alcove I was stuck in got very heavily ignored.

In a lot of cases, there were people that came by my table that wanted to buy prints, but they had no more money to do so.  They often told me that we were the last table that they saw in the alley, and they had spent their budget elsewhere before even noticing that this little cubby hole even existed.

My very lonely table in BFE

As you can see in this next picture here, this is my table from the entrance to the alley.  I had to zoom in on it.  You can kinda see my husband sitting there, conversing with an off duty police officer that had been paid to provide more security for the convention.

I resorted to a few semi-desperate tactics to up foot traffic in the area.  At some point on Saturday I got so frustrated with the lack of attention that I left my husband to watch the table, and I went half way up the stairs in between the escalators to yell at people coming down into the alley.

When I say yell I don't mean angrily.  It was something to the effect of "Hello everyone!  Artist alley is really big this year please don't leave until you've visited everyone, including that dark corner over there!  I know it's scary looking, but be brave!"  I even asked a couple of Jedi if I could borrow their mind tricks to sell prints.  I'm usually not that outgoing so I surprised myself a little with how much nerve I managed to get up to draw attention to myself.

Table Graffiti

People didn't really react terribly to me, most of them were intent on giving me a high five while they rode down the escalator.  As luck would have it, this bold move did increase foot traffic to the area and I sold to quite a number of people that I specifically remember seeing on the staircase.  Things picked up Saturday and even more on Sunday so not all hope was lost.

Another trick that I employed again this year that worked well last year, was the table graffiti.  I got a number of metallic pens and a black table cloth and let people go at it. This time it didn't get quite as full but there were more colors to play with.  It was pretty colorful by the time we left but that was the plan.  No one drew anything offensive on it, so all's well that ends well.
 
As for the art auction, the two pieces I submitted did pretty well!  They were both collaborative works, the lines were by my good friend, Nga Nguyen, and the colors were by yours truly.  You know, the usual stuff.  Upon entering your works into the auction they are subjected to a competition.  We've had pieces that placed every single year, whether it be second or third place.  This year, though, we finally got first!  It was a pretty big shocker too!

Of the two posters I put in auction, I expected the Sailor Moon piece to go for more than the original character.  After all, fan art does usually do better than anything else.  Apparently I'm just a backwards sort of person.  The auction piece that made the most money and won the prizes was actually the original that was submitted.  The winner of the auction for the print of "Angelic" purchased the print for his mother and had me sign it "to a loving mom."

He seemed very pleased with it and that made me happy.  It's always nice to know when someone really appreciates the work you do!  That's why, despite the bad location, despite the long days involved, I found it nearly impossible to have a bad time.  Even when I thought that I might not break even and after I realized that I left all of my 8x10 prints at home, I couldn't help but to enjoy myself.  I even did a few sketches for people.  I had two people at least buy four prints or more in a shot.  I also did an art trade with an artist I watch on DeviantArt.

Hopefully next year will be a little better.  From what I've heard it seems like they're going to do all they can to avoid the cubby hole next year, and maybe even open up a door in between the alley and the dealer room so that the artist alley can get more traffic and not be quite so isolated.

Despite our awful location and little traffic, we still managed to turn a profit and for that I'm pretty darn grateful. I was also grateful that my husband went with me.  He was very supportive through the whole thing, even when I was beginning to doubt myself, and I really enjoyed hanging out with him the whole weekend.  We made a great team of course!  We are married after all.

Now to get ready for Otakon and hope for better luck there.

Spark, out.

Riled: Chapter One Preview

Posting a little early this week.  I already had something planned for Tuesday and then I got to work on this.  I also may not be posting on Thursday since I will be making the trip to Raleigh for Animazement.

Well I've been actually doing some work on my comic script, finally.  I guess having the hubby work third shift isn't so bad since I can use the time he's sleeping on the weekends to do some uninterrupted work.  I will warn you that I'm not really good at this.  I don't really expect to ever be able to work professionally as a writer.  This is probably just a giant sloppy mess to anyone that IS professional or even close to it.

But hey, at least I'm getting some of it down on paper.

We had some stuff story-boarded for this before.  I've since changed a few things and the story board itself is quite old just like a lot of the finished images for this comic.  I'll include a few cuts from the story board that are still mostly relevant.  They are sloppy since it IS just planning and it's not representative of the final product. Nga really does an amazing job working with me on this and I could not have asked for a better artist and friend to help me out!

Well without further stalling, here it is.  I just hope I don't embarrass myself (I probably will.)

an old frame.

RILED
Chapter 1 preview

The sun shines down brightly on a beach setting.  The beach looks somewhat lonely except for a single beach umbrella and a person lounging  in a chair.  Beside her is a martini glass and a plate with a sandwich which sit atop a small cooler.  On the other side of her is a beach bag.  The sounds of the ocean and seagulls can be heard while the birds circle up above.

Riley: (She wears sunglasses and a small smile as she relaxes, her hand resting around the base of the martini glass.) (Thinking to herself, not aloud.) Bertana Palm Beach!  Just like I thought it would be… Perfect! (She lifts the martini glass and takes a sip.)  There doesn't seem to be a lot of people out here, Wonder where they are.  (sets the glass back down with a thoughtful expression before she seems to totally dismiss the thought.) Eh, they're probably working and have kids in school.  Who cares anyway?

View from above with shadows from seagulls.

Riley: (thinking) This feels great... I needed a vacation.

A seagull lands close by the cooler and lets out a squawk.

Riley: (She lifts her sunglasses, giving the bird a questioning look.)  Well you're brave aren't you?

The seagull inches closer and lets out another squawk.

Riley: (She tries to ignore it but soon grows irritated at the noise as it continues to squawk.  She picks
up a hand full of sand and throws it at the bird.) Shoo!   Ugh how can something make so much friggin' noise!

The seagull jumps backward, but it doesn't leave, instead it  makes a lunge for her sandwich and grabs it.

Riley: (Surprised) What the--!  Hey!(She quickly grabs for the sandwich in an attempt to save it, knocking over her martini in the process.)

The seagull darts out of her reach in a flourish of feathers.  It seems to stare right at her, letting out a muffled squawk before it quickly devours her sandwich in an odd, cartoonish, and very non seagull-like fashion. Then it squawks more.

Riley: (after recovering from a brief moment of shock) Alright so that's how you wanna play huh?! (She reaches into the bag next to her and pulls out her gun as if she fully intends to shoot a gull over a sandwich.

Seagull: (In a thick Spanish accent and broken English.) Miss McGummery!

Riley: (Gives the bird a disturbed look.) What the hell...

Seagull: McGummery!  Time is up!  You have to leave!

The sound of pounding on a door becomes more clear and distinct. 

The scene is now not a beach, but a small somewhat low budget motel room.  Riley lays sprawled out across a bed in the middle of the room, the covers thrown every which way and her head not even lying on a pillow.  Next to the bed is a bag with her clothing items haphazardly stuffed in and laying around it.

Mrs. Rosa: (Thick Spanish accent, no longer squawky) Miss McGummery!  Boss man say you have ten minutes! 

Riley: (Groggy) fine-- (She is cut off by more pounding at the door) (Shouting) FINE!  I'm awake I'll be out in a minute! (She lets out a groan, grabbing a pillow and putting it over her face.)

Riley: (Narrating) This… would be me.  The name's Riley and apparently I'm not on vacation.

Cue getting dressed and packing up montage! :)

Riley: (Narrating) No, no this motel isn't on a beach.  Not even close to one really.  I'm here on business.

Riley: (Now fully dressed.  She walks down the hallway and up to the counter where there is a man sitting behind it at a computer.) Hey, Mr. Escobar. (She rubs an eye in a sleepy manner.)

Mr. Escobar: (Smiling) Good morning, Riley, I see that you got your wake-up call from Mrs. Rosa.

Riley: (She shoots him an annoyed look) Yeah, yeah I did.  Couldn't miss it. (She fishes her key card out of her backpack and puts it on the counter.)

Riley: (Narrating.) I know what you're thinking. "Business?  You don't look like a business woman."  Yeah well that's because I'm not some executive.  I'm a bounty hunter.

Mr. Escobar: (He lets out a chuckle as he takes the card.) Ah yes, she is a wonderful lady but that voice could wake the dead.  (He looks up the room on the computer.) Just double checking, I seem to remember you prepaid... and it looks like I was right. (He turns his attention back to Riley giving her a big and friendly smile) Have a nice day, if you're ever back in town, just remember, our rates don't really change!

Riley: (She shifts her pack around on her back to be more comfortable) I'll keep that in mind.

Riley: (She makes her way out of the motel.  She opens the lobby doors only to find that it is pouring down rain outside.  She lets out a sigh.) (sarcastic and unenthusiastic) Today's gonna be great, I can tell. (She ducks her head and makes her way out onto the sidewalk, crossing a street to get to the parking deck where her car is parked.)

Riley: (Narrating) With this profession, you go where the work is.  Which means I travel.  A lot.    Hell,  I don't even have a real place to call home. 

Riley: (She opens the trunk of her older model car which seems to be very neatly organized and places her bag in the corner of it.  She shuts it and gets into the driver's seat of her car.  She pets the steering wheel fondly.) Well baby, time to put this place in the dust. I don't think this city has anything else for us. (She turns the key in the ignition and the car starts up with a loud roar.)

Riley: (Narrating) I don't have some stationary plot somewhere with my name on it.  Not a house, not an apartment, not even a cardboard box. 

She drives the car to the exit of the parking deck, the brakes letting out a light squeal as she comes to a stop.  She waits patiently for an opening to pull out onto the road. 

Riley: (Narrating) Some people would call that, "homelessness."  I call it, "freedom."

The loud sound of the car echoes through the city streets as she leaves the parking deck and shifts through the gears to get up to speed.

(cue a short traveling montage.  Need to show that she's traveled all day and is now in a different location.)

Riley: (Narration) This life has a culture all it's own. It also takes a special kind of person to do this job.  Someone with nerves of steel and an immunity to disappointment.

Scene change to a dimly lit bar.  Riley sits at the bar with a drink, looking through something that looks like a newspaper.  She rests her head in one hand in a bored manner while holding a lit cigarette with the other.  The paper that she is looking at is shown, on it are the mug shots of quite a few felons, under each is the reward for them stated in dollars and the crimes they are wanted for.  She turns the page and the next seems to be dedicated to one picture and details on the convict.  The paper states in bold letters that this man's name is Jacob Ferguson.  

Riley: (Narrating)  You're probably not going to become famous or even well known.  Mostly you'll catch small fry.  The big names are big names for a reason: they are dangerous and hard to catch.

As she skims the page attention it drawn to particular parts of the page where the felon pictured is described as very dangerous.  There are also a few lines visible that describe his crimes.
Riley smirks after zeroing in on the figure for the reward which is clearly shown as $750,000.  She snuffs her cigarette out on the felon's picture.

Riley: (Narrating) But big risks, come with big rewards.

More traveling montage!  (Yes, non professional script writer here) Riley questions people on the street.  She seems to be following leads and getting more frustrated every frame.

Riley: (Narrating) I won't lie… it can be frustrating.  You might not answer to a boss like a nine-to-five-er but that don't mean it's easy.

Scene change to outside, Riley is parallel parked on a  lightly congested city street.  She studies a paper map with markings all over it, seemingly beyond frustrated and ready to give up.  She crumples up the map and tosses it behind her shoulder.

Riley: (grumbling) So much for that idea. (She turns the key and starts her car.)

A man runs down the sidewalk outside, trying to escape from something, his face isn't shown.

Riley: (Narrating) This hunting thing can be very hit or miss.  Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't, and sometimes…

Riley has shifted the car into gear and is waiting for an opportunity to pull back onto the street. She seems focused on this until the sound of her car door opening  is heard off screen and her attention is drawn that way.  Camera pans over a bit to show her unwanted passenger.

Ferguson: (Clutching a back pack.  He points a pistol at Riley.) You! Drive!

Riley: (Narrating) … Sometimes it just falls right into your lap.

Riley: (She raises her eyebrows upon realizing who had just run right to her and her expression is one of total disbelief.)

Ferguson: (frantically shouting, brandishing his weapon menacingly.)  What the hell are you waiting for!?  GO!

Riley: (She seems to snap out of her daze.)  Okay!  Okay jeeze, I'm movin' (she takes off, squealing the tires a bit as she does so.  Car horns blare as she cuts a few cars off in the process.)

It's Official: My job is Moving

Yep, I don't know if any of you people are gun guys or follow any of the gun blogs.  If you do then you'd know that a certain holding company owns quite a number of firearm manufacturers.  You also know that this large holding company recently acquired a large facility in Huntsville, Alabama.  If you're really up to date you'll also know that they gave the axe to at least one company and are relocating a number of others to this new location.

Unfortunately one of those companies is the one that I work for.

As I said before in my introduction, we expected it.  We all saw it coming a mile away.  The writing was on the wall and has been for months, but today they finally confirmed it.

It has been one hell of a rough week around that place, this much I can tell you for certain.  Friday the building catches on fire, Tuesday some asshole sent his gun back for service and left it loaded. (Which could have ended badly.  Also mailing a gun with ammo in the same box, much less loaded, is illegal in the first place.)  Today I even got to work amid tornado warnings... keep in mind the building caught fire just a few days earlier.  Go figure the one place that had to burn was also our escape plan in case of a tornado.  So I stressed through the duration of the warning.   Then, after all of that, we get this news.

They've given us about a year's notice.  Supposedly.  They told us August 2015, which is a lot longer than what I had initially figured it would be.  Still, I'm taking that statement lightly.

It's a shame, I really used to enjoy working there.  A lot happened during the time I worked there.  I got this computer, I got my first apartment, bought my first firearm (Which my husband and I both made) I went to my first artist alley, I got married even.  I learned a lot while I was there, I got to know pretty much everyone I worked with and disliked very few of them.

My first firearm.  I did the coating and some machine work, my husband put it together.  A labor of love this one was.

The past few months have been pretty awful, but overall the experience has been quite positive.  It's a shame it has to end with a corporate buyout and a move, but that's just how it is.  Good or bad, nothing lasts forever.  At least they gave us a time frame I guess.

This doesn't change anything about my convention schedule.  I will still be attending any and every convention I can get into since my artwork has moved much more front and center.  Only one week left until Animazement.  Even with everything going on right now I'm still really excited for it and I'll be happy once I get there. 

I do have one more thing to add...

I'm debating on printing this to sell.  Not sure if too many people would get the joke.  If you do, drop me a line so I know! 

Should I print this?  Yay or nay?

In other news I have also added Instagram to my social media usage.  It's a brand spanking new account so there's not much going on yet.  If you'd like, give me a follow!  Click HERE for Instagram profile

Hopefully my next entry will be a happier one.

Spark, out.

Lots of Catching Up

Well this week has definitely been an interesting one.  On Friday, I left work a little early so that I could pack myself and my husband into the car.  We headed up to Boone to see my little brother graduate college. (Congrats Sean!)  We were about to leave when my husband glanced at his Facebook feed and noticed that one of our coworkers had posted a ridiculously giddy-looking selfie, which he called his "fire at work selfie."  Complete with firetrucks in the background.

Yep, that's right.  My workplace caught on fire on Friday.  It didn't burn to the ground but there was definitely some damage.  So much so that we were told to stay home yesterday.  I was supposed to stay home today but our job isn't very good at communicating those things.

Anyway, I took advantage of the situation to start on a very long overdue commission as well as to work on a few more unfinished works.  Time to get these things rolling out!

First up is the commission I was talking about, and also a top priority at the moment.  It's going to be some promotional art for a a comic convention, also an exclusive print.  It's very far from being finished.  And I mean VERY far.  So much left to do on this one.  I think this is definitely a step in the right direction for me, since it'll be at the exclusives table at the convention, I'm sure I'll get plenty of exposure.

I promise it'll look better than this.  I kinda wanted to give it a nightmarish sort of feeling, so I tried to make the lightning and all look like it was ripping a hole into another dimension or something like that.

I'm not sure how well the rest of the lighting is working out so far.  I'll make it work somehow.  Anything I color usually looks this disorganized before I get a better idea of what I'm going to do with it.

I'm also going to have to look up some references.  As weird as it may be for someone like me to admit, I've never watched any of these movies!  Well, except for Chucky, I've seen at least one of those.  And to think that used to terrify me as a child.

 This one right here, with the redhead in it, is a personal piece.  Not sure when I'll ever be done with it.  I had commissioned it for myself from another artist on DeviantArt a long time ago.  The characters are mine although I'm not sure if I like how he portrayed my main female.  I'll more than likely end up giving her a boob reduction and maybe a more covering shirt.

While I'm not offended by female video game and comic book characters wearing less clothing, I just don't personally want that for my own characters.  Especially this one in particular.  Despite the fact that I'm not entirely happy with how my main girl here was dressed, I did really like the composition of this piece.  Which is why it's getting colored anyway.  Aside from that he captured her attitude pretty well.

Last but not least I have this one, some strange tree girl... thing.  I liked the idea of nymphs in Greek mythology.  So I was thinking about it one day and came up with idea of taking a nymph and making it something other than Greek.  So here's a Japanese cherry blossom nymph.

At least that's what I think it is.  It looked better in my head I swear.  This is actually modified from my previous painting.  I didn't like it much, I plan to do better this time.  This is kind of my way of proving to myself that I am more than just a colorist.  While I'm still not very good with anatomy and the like I hope to get better through practice on pieces like these.

I kinda miffed up the tree and the flowers already I can tell.  Again this is a work in progress and it isn't completely finished.  It's more complete than the other two but rather low on the list of priorities at the moment.  I"ll finish it one of these days, perhaps it'll be another print for conventions to come.

Well that's it for today.  Hopefully by my next update I'll have the Punisher piece more or less finished.

Spark, Out.

Ready For Animazement!

Hey guys, sorry I missed that last update.  I was busy with a number of things (job hunting being one of them.  I may actually have a new job that can pay my rent and give me enough spare time for more artwork.  Hopefully.)

So I'm totally over the pre-convention jitters.  Well, mostly.  I am actually prepared much earlier than usual!  This weekend I got down to business.  All of my printing is done as well as my banner and my display. I wanted something better this year than the flimsy pvc pipe stand that I had last year.  Quite honestly it sucked and looked absolutely terrible.  I don't plan on using so much masking tape to hold the display prints up this year either.  That looked so sloppy and unprofessional.

Anyway, I wanted to make it out of pvc pipe again but the drawing I made was a little complicated.  That stuff is usually pretty cheap, which makes it an ideal material.  I did the math though, and after I found that it would cost me $75 in pvc pipe I decided that maybe that wasn't the most efficient and cost effective idea.  I over-engineered the crap out of that stand.  It needed to be sturdy enough to hold up prints, a dry erase board, and a banner.  It probably would have worked but I the money was a bit outrageous and there are better options for cheaper.

 

Our 4 foot by 2.5 foot banner.... and my wedding cake topper haha.

Totally Over-Engineered.  Would have been a good stand though...

I eventually went with those wire mesh storage cubes that a lot of people seem to use for stands now days.  After finding some of my own and getting them home, I can see why people use them.  They are sturdy and there's so many ways you can arrange them.  My display is gonna rock this year!  I may still end up buying some pvc pipe and some zip ties, I need to hoist my banner up over the stand somehow.  The higher up the better.  After all, I am stuck in a corner and getting attention is important.

I also got this super awesome board.  It's a black dry erase board that you use with neon colored dry erase markers.  Yes!  This is dry erase!  I had no Idea that they even made these until I found them in Walmart.  I'm not sure that these will be my final prices, I just had to try it out when I got it home.  It was too cool.  I plan to attach it to one side of my stand at eye level.  I may even get another one for the other side to keep the commission list updated and let people know when their commissions are finished.  Haven't decided yet.

As you can tell I used to work in the restaurant... they bugged me do the feature board every day for this reason.

So maybe I lied I'm not COMPLETELY ready for the convention yet.  The to-do list is definitely a lot smaller than it used to be though. I have to trim my prints.  They turned out great by the way!  I'm so excited about it!  I finally did enough research to save my print files in a printer friendly fashion.  The colors turned out amazing and I am very happy with the quality of the paper I got them on.  I even printed everything for less than the budget I had set aside for printing, which is also a plus.

I want to print out one more poster though.  I will be putting two prints into the art auction this year instead of just one like in previous years.  One is an original concept and the other is fan art.  I thought that was fitting.  I only ever print out ONE 16x20 print to sell of each piece.  There will never be another print that size for sale of any of these again. 


Sailor Moon was kind of a no-brainer.  I did a quick poll on DeviantArt anyway and it won out over three other pieces to be in the art auction this year.

As for the original, I just had it printed on a whim because I liked it.  The brown haired angel in this picture is a character from a really old story I had dreamed up back in high school.  She does have a name, and her name is Catriona.  Nga did an absolutely wonderful job capturing her character in her pencil work!  It was a joy to color.

I've adapted Catriona's character for E20XX like most of the characters from that old story plot.  The characters were just too cool to abandon even if the story I came up with sucked.  What could you expect though, I was sixteen.  As I grew up, so did the characters.  It was almost like they outgrew that story.

Hopefully other people will like her as much as I do.  I sold an original character last year in auction which was a success, far more successful than I thought it would be. It gave me the warm fuzzies when the lady who won the auction brought it by the table to have me physically sign it.  Her daughter found me on DeviantArt and sent me a picture of it hanging up on the wall in their house.  I cried happy tears.

This will probably be the last I write about the convention before I actually go.  I only have two weeks until the con.  Since I'm mostly done with the preparations, expect some sketch entries into the blog pretty soon along with my current works in progress.  Got some overdue commissions to finish.

If all goes well I will be updating again on my normal schedule of Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Until then thanks for the continued support it means a lot to me.  

Some Missions Accomplished: Con Schedule

This year I've registered for artist alley at four conventions on the east coast and I haven't been turned down from one!  I'm rather excited and it gives me a little more hope that perhaps art really is the way to go.  I'm really glad that my first artist alley experience didn't deter me from trying again.  (that is a story for another time.)

First was Ichibancon in Concord NC.  That one was the first weekend of January.  It was a bit of a disappointment, I broke even and that was about it.  I have three more to make up for it though!

Here they are:

Animazement - Raleigh, NC - May 23-25
Otakon - Baltimore, MD - August 8-10
Anime Weekend Atlanta - Atlanta GA - September 26-28

I just heard back from Anime Weekend Atlanta the other night, which kinda spurred this blog entry.  I'm still on the fence there.  They said I've been accepted but wait-listed so that one is still to be announced.

I'm super excited about Animazement this year.  Last year I gave artist alley a second chance and it was amazing.  I had the best time, met a lot of awesome people, and of course I made quite a bit of money.  I had a wedding to pay for, I took a gamble on this and it really paid off.

Not exactly professional but it was my first real attempt... and look, I look so happy!

I don't even have a month left until Animazement this year, which means that I am already waayyy far into the planning phase.  One genius idea that I had last year that I will do again this year is that black table cloth.  I let people draw on it with metallic sharpie and it got quite decorated.  I only had to scribble out one thing - which, the artist next to me confessed to drawing while she was tipsy the night before.

This was the table cloth by the time we packed up to leave Sunday afternoon.

I was surprised at how well the table cloth worked to get attention.  People drew all over it, and while they doodled on it, their friends would hang out with the prints staring them right in the face.  In some instances, people would run off and get their friends, then drag them back to my table so that their friend could draw on it too.  Best.  Idea.  Ever.

I've already gotten the seating chart for Animazement this year and unfortunately I don't have prime real estate this time.


I'll be at table W30!  If any of happen to be there, by any chance, I'd totally like to hear from you!

I have my print line up for this year already picked out as well.  It features artwork all my own as well as collaborative works. (Profits are split for collaborations.) Also note that some of these are signed "Michele A" and others are signed "Michele Wilson."  I got married last October and my maiden name is "Wilson." This has confused some people recently, hopefully that clears it up.
