>tfw bbys first burando purchases somewhere on a boat in the ocean
Damn FJ and surface post being the only cheap option. I've got three packages between 2 weeks and 5 weeks old and I just hope they get here before AWA in case there's a tea party event.

Which of you gulls got the goodwill dresses just now?

Can someone tell me the sauce of the downfall of acrylic keychains from being sold in AA? I recalled tidbits from last year but this past year my local AA called a meeting of artist one night during closing hours (a rarity to see the head AA ppl themselves) to bring up updates and even brought up the acrylic keychains as a mass produced item that is prohibited unless you sell them on the more pricier vendor table among other things.

Industry views it as competition with their own shitty tier charms they markup the hell out of, even though they barely ship any outside of Nippon.

Get over yourself. You're making money off of someone else's IP. Be thankful that they let you make money off of it for as long as they did. It sucks, but at least we still have prints. Make generic cute charms that aren't associated with anything if you still want to sell charms. That's what I ended up doing (food, cute horoscope girls/boys, cute animals, etc.). People still buy that stuff.

I'm peeved at all the "lolita is dying" discussion.

Who cares if something is going out of style/mainstream. You still own the dresses and can wear them whenever you want.

Anytime someone says 'loli' or something along the lines of 'hello ruffles~!!' as a greeting. Super cringey.

THIS

Fashion changes but that doesn't mean you have to change with it.

For me something that peeves me off are the people who pretty much treat lolita like a costume, and I don't mean cosplay lolitas, I mean like those that only wear lolita to special events. I know that I've been guilty of this but I'm trying to expand my wardrobe because I want to treat it for what it is, a fashion, and wear it at least weekly. Lolita is more of like a "who can be the most OTT" thing now and it kinda bothers me because it's pretty much losing its original purpose.

I have a hammershot that matches a dress I own and I plan on painting some small jolt variation to match another dress.

Also as you've probably already noticed, I did a little survey in the previous thread. Posted here are the average scores for each con, work on the promised infograph will start tonight and the global results can be found over at http://churi.nl/survey/index.php/statistics_user/action/surveyid/777492/language/en
As for me replying to your reactions, >>9553151 >>9553153 and >>9553158 of the previous thread is where you can find those. Happy posting gulls!

Why do Nanaa Chan her expressions remind me of porn stars 'sexy' faces, cannot unsee...

Which anime convention accurately fits pic related?

What is this, some kind of fashion style where people try to look like aliens?

>>9554890
yup

This is giving me homestuck flashbacks

>Shitty panel thread
70 replies going strong

>Good panel thread
Nothing

I love spooky story panels, as long as it's not the same old repeated stuff. Last creepypasta panel I went to consisted of Shrek memes and Yugioh Abridged references.

Also panels consisting of actual discussion. I went to a Fatal Frame panel (a fave game of mine) and actually learned stuff about the game I didn't know, and was introduced to a youtuber who translates Japanese horror games.

No matter what the subject is, as long as the panelists aren't spazzing around, it's usually good enough for me. That's pretty hard to come across in AZ sadly.

>>9554350
I used to love the rare panels about current events or political issues, but the rise of SJWs has made them a dangerous minefield these days.

What do you guys think of this group? I've seen them mentioned, but nobody's said too much. I think they have potential, but need to work on being more in sync. Their Sunny Day Song preview is really messy.

I'm going Saturday but I'm a little leery honestly. It feels like a celebrity cash grab, half the "cosplay guests" are just local mediocre cosplayers, and they were so aggressively pushy about their adervertising at Animazement that it felt a little desperate. I'm going to give them a shot, but I wouldn't be shocked if this was a one year thing for Raleigh like Wizard World.

Going Friday. Saturday too if It's a good time. Looks like it should be fun and I don't have anything better to do anyway

Have a 3 day pass, but I have D&D so will probably skip Sunday. I honestly impulse bought a pass after AZ and I kind of forgot about it. I'm not cosplaying for sure.

>>9556703
This more or less. There are only a couple of guests I care about (Burton, Spiner), but the cost for a picture/autograph is way too high.

What events are you guys going to?

To start off I'd like to mention how in the current year of 2017 Saboten Con is STILL accepting Black Butler panels. They really have no filter or quality assurance and just let in everyone's submissions, don't they?

http://www.sabotencon.com/programming/schedule.html

idolm@ster panel where the actual panelists had to cancel and gave it to their friend to run. This dude had no idea what idolm@ster was and was just reading off of a slideshow the whole time, running it solo.

The worst is one I ran this past spring but I'm trying to wipe that from my memory.

>>9549320
Just reading the first description made me cringe so hard. Why wouldn't they proofread stuff like that?

bump?

Been going to all of them except 2014, and this was the most shit year yet. Poorly organized attempt at security, ass-backwards organization of convention center, prop bans... just a big ol' shit show.

doesn't work

To me, it looks like the older you get, the better things get because you just stop rightly giving a fuck. If you're older and good, people kind of see you as a bit of a legend and you'll get a fair amount of attention since DESU most older people tend to not cosplay.
Also western media is going strong at conventions, you have nothing to worry about in that regard. It's kinda expected for older folks to be more into comics.

Wait are you complaining comic cons are too young? Comic & Sci-fi cons have always had an older demographic. Anime cons skew younger.

I'm expecting a surge of 30-40 somethings as nerds who went to cons in their teens start producing offspring and they want to take their kids somewhere fun for a weekend.

OP here. Thanks much for the replies!

>>9569142
Giving no fucks is definitely part of why I'm getting ready to give it another whirl, but to me there's still the feel there's just not many older people in general at cons and it'd be nice to meet people with similar interests again, but are my age - meeting people at cons is part of the fun, eh.

>>9569690
Most cons I went to in my original days were anime cons due to being the ones that I was taken to by friends. I did go to Magfest and I'll concede to you it definitely skewed to an older demographic. So if comic cons tend to have older people that's definitely a plus.

Looking good! I can't see the close-up but I hope you're gonna do a finish across the printed exterior.

As for cheating, not really, since a lot of people make the models themselves and it takes effort to print/cleanup into the final product.

does this really need it own thread?
couldn't you have just made a wip thread instead of knocking another thread off the catalog for your own personal topic?

Yes, I'd consider 3d printing cheating on the same level as buying things. It's not really craftsmanship, it's having something built for you because you want the end result more than the experience of building it.
