how are you guys doing?

I am going to MangaNEXT, NJ this weekend as a FEATURED ARTIST!! :giggle:
...well, there is not much difference from me just going there,
except my name is on the program booklet with my short bio on it,
and having a panel.

yes, I am having a panel for second time.
this time hope I do better than the last time at AnimeNEXT...

the panel is
"how to compose your Manga Panels"
at Saturday 5 pm.
I have no idea the room.

I will share my knowledge of constructing your comic page in this panel,
and it also usable to your illustration too.
so please come to see it if you are interested!:giggle:

I have 8 new prints from Otakon,
and comics that I colored from :iconthedeathlings:

hope see you all there!

my next con is
Nekocon(VA) a week after.
this is my first time going there, hope it's good to me:)

_______________________________________________________________

I went to NYAF/CC the beginning of this month.
I was giving marker coloring demonstration at YesAnime's booth [link] all three days.

I also met awesome comic people :iconianstruckhoff: :iconcsyeung: :iconcobotenuss:
from :iconthedeathlings: and :iconblacklabelcomic:
it was delight to meet my co-workers if I can call that way,
and met lots of other great artist and people.

I think I'll do more of the marker coloring demonstration with YesAnime,
so hope it helps them and you to be better friends with markers.

Why the Wind Wails Why the Wind Wails

Long ago, when gods and demons were more numerous and powerful than today, there lived in one corner of the world a Jaguar.

Now this Jaguar was no ordinary beast, for he grew far larger than others of his kind, until he towered over the greatest trees and began to rival even the smaller mountains. He knew hunger then, for being so large there was no game that could sustain him for long. Ravenous, he left the jungle and trekked north in search of better hunting.

He entered a desert, where at first he found only jackrabbits and the occasional coyote, neither of which was more than a tiny mouthful at a time. Besides which,

       Once, when the mountains were young, there lived a young gale who lived many miles east of the mountains and the Great River. She lived in the Fair Forest, where many trees grew, food was plenty, and she could fly free. The gale had the prettiest song voice the world had ever seen too. One night in late winter, the gale fell out of the sky, for she had not sung at all that day and it angered the creator of birds, Ralo, who enjoyed her voice immensly. So that night, Ralo sent the gale to the Valley of Gold, where she would spend the rest of her days in a place she wou

  • Mood: Joy

and also they ask me to make an altered piece to use for the program guide cover!
please check them out if you are going :giggle:
plus, I'm holding a panel about character design for the first time,
and being a translator for Japanese guest.
I am more "involved" in this convention this year.

however, due to all these involvement,   
I wouldn't be able to be at my table all the time.
(I still have a table there, my friends and husband will be selling my staff)
so it will be DIFFICULT TO TAKE TABLE COMMISSIONS at AnimeNEXT...

instead, I will take "Pre-Con" commissions for AnimeNEXT!
it will be

-$25 for one character b/w waist up, ex:
-$30 for one character color pencil waist up, ex:

-each additional character or back ground is extra $7,
full body is extra $5 for both b/w and color pencil.


-this is ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN COME TO PICK UP THE COMMISSION AT AnimeNEXT.
I'm not going to ship or e-mail you the image for this commission.

-you can pay me when you pick up the piece at AnimeNEXT or
paypal me before head (but it costs extra $2 ish for paypal fee).

-I could do any anime character, pokemon (up to 3 pokemons for the price, each additional pokemon will be $3  after that)
animal, realistic portrait, or anime style portrait. just not Hentai or too sexual. (sexy is ok)

-shoot me a note or e-mail (july705@hotmail.com) with what you want me to draw and your choice of payment.

now Setsucon is over, it was a nice tiny convention.
and I met a lot of nice people,
it was nice to meet you guys there!!
I would love to go next year too if I could get a table.

by the way, I used China town bus to go State collage from NY,
which is 4hrs drive, and the "bus" came to NYC china town to pick me up was not even a bus,
but an old tiny van with no heater no restroom.
and then, the guy sat on next to me was pretty stoned,
dancing with his iPod volume so loud, yelling at his phone,
or talking to himself for the entire drive way.
and then, the back door of the van opened up in the middle of a road,
and the package was almost fell off from the van.
IT WAS CRAZY!!!!!  
if I'm going back to PA next year, I would love to drive.
well, I gotta get a car license first, lol
