Another painting of the harry potter patronus because I was so happy w the other one. And i think I wanted one for myself after the other one was given to my sister ΒΏ?
It's very different from the other one, considering how I wanted it to be similar.

Studio ghibli fanarts I never ended up finishing.
I still really like both concepts, just need to muster up the motivation to start em up again and finish em.

Consulted the book thoroughly to make these depictions as accurate as possible. NGL this is not how I picture any of them (except maybe q33 north), and the same goes for my cousin. It's really funny, though. Really shows how ridiculous their outfits are ππ

The fated day finally came!! Definitely was a stressful time. I made stands for the sticker promo board and the board I hung the posters on at the makerspace earlier in the day. Me and my friend also made cute little fandom labels for the stickers.
I invited quite a few of my friends to come hang out during this debacle. It was a blessing and a curse. One of my friends in particular kept on pissing me off by constantly nagging me abt how "increase profits." Actually got pissed off to such a high degree but I digress.
Anyways, the event was really cute. There were a LOT of vendors. Hot damn, was the room crowded. A lot of them were also seasoned vendors which was pretty crazy. I wish I had gone around and been more friendly to them, but I see why I didn't this event had me exhausted before it even began.
I ended up setting the pricing as: 3$ for one large sticker, 5$ for two large stickers, $1 for one small sticker, and $15 for one poster.

Things I learned:
Less clutter! The table was really overwhelming and I'd like space to put my laptop for excel tracking xP
Actually have people follow my art account for receiving my stamp for the stamp rally
Just chillll, have a good timee. It'll be a lot easier when I do it again because 90% of the work will already be done, but I still need to remember that this is for the fun sillies and that I don't need to focus on numbers at all.

According to my Excel sheet (which definitely is not 100% accurate because I forsure missed a few things), the data is as follows:
58 Stickers Sold
0 Posters Sold
Cost: 141.35
Revenue: 118
Profit: -23.35
Note: the cost includes sticker paper/some supplies that I didn't actually use, but because it was related I included it. Also, the vinyl was apparently 50$ which I swear it wasn't- never in my right mind would I buy that. Still put it in as 50$ because whtvr.
The most popular sticker designs were: The Knight (13), Coraline (7), and Grimm (6).
**Some of them were traded for other stickers / not exactly sold**
0 posters sold?? Yepppp. I think it's less of a pricing problem, but more of a people just weren't interested in the fandoms. I would've sold them for any amount of money tbh, but noone seemed interested. Plus, I tried to do a poster trade with someone and they declined because they weren't familiar with any of the fandoms. I mean I didn't know the fandoms their posters were about either, but ig a lot of people aren't interested in posters purely for the illustration π₯²π₯²
So I have a lot of posters... Teehee. I'll definitely try to sell them next year again (as I will with the leftover stickers), but I don't know if it'll make much of a difference. Hopefully, though πππ
Idk man it's strange because I genuinely look at those four pieces and am so proud that I made it. Like the craftsmanship yo. I can't tell if I'm genuinely just being delusional, but it's not like anyone close to me has given me the impression that they're actually terrible drawings either.
Ofc my own opinion is what matters most, and despite the doubt that the lack of sales for these posters has given me, it hasn't changed how much I absolutely love those pieces. Especially because the technique I used changes for each one. All of them give me a different thought of "I can't believe I made that" and takes me out of the whole 'I can immediately tell how I made that' mindset that I fall into when subconsciously trying to devalue my art/skills. I really have to think to recall the techniques I used to make each piece (O.K. maybe not the hellboy one but still), because they're all so damned complicated. Idk I love them a lot, but I will be forever a little bit bummed that other people don't love them as much as I.

This is labelled moonvika on the old scan folder I have, and I recognize the artist, but I'm not sold that this is a dtiys for that particular artist. idky
I don't remember why I cut them out. It might've been to put them on different backgrounds??

I think top left was created for a gr9 sketchbook assignment. Not 100% sure, though. The rest followed as me just wanting to explore the style and theme.

Grade 12 art project where I really just wanted to make a bacteriophage CAD model because I'm obsessed.
I fully printed and assembled this doll, but it broke. I need to figure out a way to 3D print the part body without the supports being mega annoying (or alter the CAD model/split it into multiple pieces). I'll do that someday and then 3D print this guy again.
