100 pic challenge List | Iddy's Quotes

FC was absolutely incredible. I am tired, satisfied, and already planning for FC 2010!


Art show:
"Fox on Stilts" ( ) sold for $95 to :iconneo53: and her husband, the people I was rooming with. I'm very very happy to see that piece go to people I know will take good care of it.
"Frequent Flier" ( ) was sold for it's starting price of $55. I'm a bit bummed no one else bid on it, but at least it's gone. At $55, I got about $15 profit from that piece. I have no idea who got it, but I hope they take good care of it.


Badges sold (mail-in included):
12
Sketches sold:
3
Colored sketches sold:
4
Prints sold (total):
13
Original sketches sold:
2

I'm pretty surprised at the low print sales. Charlie thinks I may have overcharged for prints ($7) and that's why they didn't sell, but either way I spent WAY too much money on WAY too many prints to have only sold 13 :/ I'll try selling some online for discount prices (is $5 more reasonable? I based my $7 print charge on other artists at cons who sell prints for $10)

My badges were obviously the most popular. I even got inquiries about them on Sunday, where I had to unfortunately decline people (I have way too much homework already).

Oh, and there was a SALUKI FURSUIT!!

She had a different foreign outfit every day. It was amazing! And she even stopped by our room unexpectedly asking who made our room sign. We felt very honored :P

For better (and more) photos people took from the con, try [link] :D There's some amazing ones there!


Overall thoughts:
FC was just fantastic, bar none. I learned many things about selling my art that I hope to use next year. I met so many new people and strengthened friendships with others. FC has, once again, made me just love the fandom even more. It made me want to draw more. It gave me more inspiration for art. It boosted my self esteem and love for art. It was just FUN and my review just can't put into words how great the entire weekend was :) Thank you everyone who stopped by my table, bought art, talked to me, roomed with me, or even said hello. Thank you thank you thank you!

No you don't at all! Some people do but that's just their individual tastes :) There's no requirement to dress up at all, besides wear clothes ;)

3: I'd love to attend a con someday! Positive reviews like yours make me jealous. =p
:iconart-hound:
This was my first con and I quite enjoyed it! I am looking forward to next year's con at the San Jose Fairmont Hotel, and hope I will be able to go. The "Frequent Flier" print I bought will be going up on my wall soon.

I also loved that fantastic saluki fursuit, and even had my picture taken with her!

Even though I did not realy know anyone at the con, I felt kind of sad to leave as I was waiting for the shuttle to the Holliday Inn and looking back at all the people having fun in the hotel.
:iconidess:
Glad to know you had fun! And I'm glad you enjoy the print :)
Post-Con depression can be pretty bad, but it always goes away and anticipation for next year abounds :3 Hope to see you next year, too, and thanks for stopping by!
