Contributing with something that's been on my to-buy list for years. I remember seeing old photos of my comm and this book was at one of the meets. The girl who had it has long left the country so I've never seen it in person, but I've always been curious since Amoretti seemed to be known back in the day for pretty decent Lolita art, at least by Western standards (even recreating real prints like the cover of the book).

Bump, also relevant, Fruits magazine is dead.

I have this book, it's basically a styling guide from 2005, with different pieces and cuts, really cool.
It's called ロリータ 衣装道楽 if you want to search amazon JP, or lolita fashion fancier.

Bump for interest, I live here and might check it out. Curious how a comic con differs from an anime con

Went there last year as an artist. I did decently enough but I had some friends who were local that didn't even break even. There were a ton of empty tables that they couldn't fill last minute that they had to tell artists to spread their wares out so it wouldn't look empty to the attendees.

Even from an attendee POV, it seemed pretty dead? Most of the people there were normies who showed up just to check out what a convention is like or people showing up to hang out with con friends. There's virtually no programming and the show aggressively promote celebrity signings/photo ops. That's generally how most Wizard World conventions go though. Light on the panels, heavy on celeb-oriented for-profit activities.

It might be fun if you're going with friends and want to hang out but if you're expecting programming, it's probably not worth it. If you're really into celeb meet and greets and there's a guest you really want to see, it might be worth it for you. The security guards were extra rude last year and made it difficult on the exhibitors to load out but that's a whole another story.

Is it possible to just lobby con for a couple hours? I'm not really into the guests or programming they offer and idk if I can justify 50 bucks just to see some cosplay

It happened a couple weeks ago and so far nothing bad seems to have happened

>>9349329
Yeah, but was it fun ?

Weren't there other cons in the past that tried to do this and never went through?

It's a very small con. I paneled at it the past couple years (not this year, still gonna go on Saturday.) In my experience it's well-run, though it's really more of an excuse for the local con community to socialize and party in the off season than your typical con experience, since ATL already has AWA, Momo, and Dragon. I don't know very much about selling, but I wouldn't expect a ton. It might be a really good place to pick up comissions though- friend and I bought a few last year.

>>9343771
how small is small? less than 1k, around 1k or 2k?

>>9343779
I believe the facebook page has around 1,500 followers if that says anything. I'm surprised anyone else has heard about this. I'm only stumbled upon it by chance because they had a booth at AWA. I'm thinking of going saturday. The only thing that perturbs me about this con is that I've emailed them twice for information on the panel schedule and they haven't gotten back to me at all.

Still for 20 bucks and being 30 mins from my house it's hard to beat it. Plus it give me a chance to show of my todd ingram cosplay.

In the past, this was the most 'uncommon' neckline I would see; a square neck. I like it and I love the idea of many of them featuring a removable panel.

Last one; Would this count as an extra-wide heart-shape neckline? It's something I've seen on the occasional steampunk / ouji vest but not on a JSK.

I really like this neckline.

>>9342937
I love that too!

I'm personally looking for some accessories, and I love supporting indie artists. I'll start out with a little dump.

Lily of the Valley (SakuraFairy on etsy). I love her hats, but her jewelry is cute too.

So glad I got out of this group

well, his suit is better than 90% of the girls who cosplay d.va, desu.

>>9329236
Isn't that just exactly the same printed out/mass produced suit as the other d.va girls, though?

>>9329304
It has armor, defined glove cuffs, and the padded parts on the shoulders

I kind of wanna make a cosplay, but I really want to just be lazy and just buy one from sketchy Chinese.

Uuuggggghhhh, I shouldn't be allowed to call myself a cosplayer.

>>9346708
??? There's not some barometer for being able to call yourself a cosplayer. It's not like it's some sort of prestigious term. If you wanna play-dress up as fantasy characters, then go ahead and call yourself a cosplayer. The people on here saying "you need to do x y z or you're not a real cosplayer" have probably never worn a costume in their life.

>>9346708
I only cosplay with bought cosplay because I know myself and that I'd rather spend more time working hours for money than to spend that same time sewing and crafting. It's not a problem unless you try to pass off that bought cosplay as something you made.

Cons should do a 180 on their family friendly policy without letting cons turn into adult only events

i love salty gothic elitists, even when we disagree. something about their steadfast conviction is just comfy.

I don't know why people love Melty Ribbon Chocolate so much. It's so boringly ugly.
Milky Whip Chocolate is so similar but 200x less bland and so much nicer to look at.

??? Where is the thread title

Anyway, last thread I saw a lot of people making some good progress on their bags. Is anyone working on something new?

This is the same anon as before that was talking about making a phone case for my husbando but since I started playing Yakuza 0 I'm a bit torn... I know I can have multiple cases but even still: would it be weird to go to a con/meet with a bag filled with things for one character yet have a blasted out phone case for another character? Or does no one really mind?

When will they make a bag to house figures and bulky goods items?

I put together my Tsuyu bag kinda quick last night to get an idea of the room I have left, and I'm definitely gonna need a bigger bag pretty soon.

On another note, do you guys think a mint base bag would work for a Mob Psycho bag? I originally bought the bag for Hanayo but I don't like how the mint works with her merch. I just started watching MP100 and I'm SUPER in love with it.

Came back from a con with around 5,000, maybe more and made over twice as much revenue than I did at AWA, a con with 4 times as many people.

I don't get these people who say "I don't go to cons with less than 10,000 people, its not worth my time". From my experience, con attendance and revenue aren't nearly as connected as you think they would be. Though, idk, many people do say that AWA is generally one of the least profitable cons, so it could just be a big outlier.

All the talk of "if you're a lone artist just get a helper for your table" toward the end of the last thread had me thinking back to my last con, a friend and I were planning to split a table for literally more than a year before the con came around, and then the night before setup she texts me "sorry Anon I cant do the con anymore".

Honestly I don't know what I was expecting, less than a week before the con she was posting on twitter about how she hadn't even started drawing any prints yet. Needless to say I won't even consider tabling with her again.

>tmi
>tfw i was shark week during that con as well
>only got to go to the bathroom once the entire weekend

>>9337271
yah, same. I don't have any friends to help because most of them are out of state. :/ Friends that are willing to sacrifice a whole weekend for you are hard to find....

I'm trying to get new phone cases, can someone confirm if s7弧 is for the s7edge and if s7直 is just a s7.
