Mizuumi-con 5

Journal Entry: Sat Mar 31, 2012, 9:49 PM
Mizuumi-con... wow, that was fun!  We had a good time.

First of all, we won the program design contest with this entry:



So we had two tables. Fff, the tables were longer than I expected. We had a lot of space and the tables were near the entrance to the vendor/artist room, so we got a lot of traffic! The room itself was nice and spacious. A huuuge improvement compared to last year. I think my only complaints would be that it got very hot and also that the vendor directly behind us had some big display racking, so it wasn't as spacious behind the table as I would have liked. That wasn't too bad though.

We experimented with some new merchandise this year. Avi was selling some cute accessories, and we were trying some new keychain sort of things. Sam sold a lot of prints. I made up a doujinshi book of my Tomatia Fantasia comic (with a bit of extra content) and sold some of those. So that was cool to experiment a bit and see what people took a liking too.

I actually did a few small commissions. Two Hetalia keychains and a postcard. I was happy to do those! I did a keychain with Greece and Turkey for a guy and he thanked me in Greek. I'm pretty sure I stared at him like an idiot, but that was really cool. XD

Also ~saxitlurg picked up my Tomatia Fantasia book drew me this really super cute fanart for it in return. ;A; I was super touched!

If I should've known who any of our visitors were and I didn't recognize you, I really apologize.  We were all running on little sleep. XD;;

Overall, I had a good time and we made some good sales. I look forward to the next con!

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, I know you're probably really busy, but I was wondering if you would know where I could find a Copic color chart for inking Hetalia characters, or if not - and I know this is a lot to ask - if you would mind sharing yours? I understand if it's too much of a hassle, so please don't put yourself out! Thanks either way!

omg, sorry, I totally missed this somehow. Orz

I don't really have a Copic color chart for Hetalia, nor do I know where there is one. But I can say I pretty consistently use Skin White for most of the skin tones as well as Light Salmon for shading the skin (it's not realistic, but it's closer to the brighter pink Himaruya uses for shading), and then Blush for... the blush. Ahaha... I think pretty much all of my Copic Hetalia-related drawings use those colors for the skin tones.

Everything else is just sort of personal choice or me trying to match a color as close as possible by sight. I almost ALWAYS have an extra sheet of paper around to test the colors and test how the colors blend into each other before I lay them down on the final picture. This saves me from a lot of "oh crap" if a color ends up being a bit of a different shade than I thought it was, or if there's not enough contrast between shades when I'm blending so I can find more contrasting markers, etc.

Again, sorry for replying so late. I really have been incredibly busy lately. But feel free to ask me anything else and I'll try to reply ASAP. ;w;/
