Hi there everyone!
I'm so happy to be able to come come back here on DA, interact with you and revive my account a little bit...I haven't been able to touch messages, deviations, journals or anything related to DA in the past weeks.(in case anyone observed my absence
A lot of things happened and I had to take care of each one of them in a very responsible way, so no matter how much that hurt, I had to give up on all my addictive habits for a wile (and yes, Deviantart IS the most addictive one !
One of the things that kept me very busy was the annual anime/manga convention , NIJIKON, in Romania, Bucharest.
The first edition took place last year, in November, and was officially the first anime convention in the whole country.
We discovered many anime fans who gathered 2 days long in one place, coming shy and not too confident too see what was all about.
It was a big success for the first time!
The day before yesterday, started the second edition and we had a lot of fun 2 days long.
I am in the middle of my preparations for various exams , but who cares?
I wanted so badly since last year to be a part of the organizers staff of this event, that i couldn't help myself to stay away this year.
So the preparations lasted a long, undefined time , but in the end our small team managed to create a pretty complex and confy corner named "Anime-Mania" table , where some of us could sell their artworks as prints, buttons, bookmarks, T-shirts, earrings and some other hand-made stuff , organize drawing competition, Origami, show AMVs (despite of some technical problems) music and a lot of fun.
Of course, can't compare ourselves to the USA conventions or the ones in other countries, but for the second edition we had pretty much and nice cosplay, an "Artist's Alley" for the first time, Games, a lot of Graphic tablets for whoever wished to use them, Japanese calligraphy, a lot of mangas, posters and merchandise for sale and much more.
It was very successful and we expect for the next year much more visitors and participants
It was my very first time selling some of my drawings! Such an unusual experience for me!
People here aren't used to this, so many of them looked at me very suspiciously, saying that I just printed all the stuff from the internet. I've herd many talking to their friends things like "Look ! I have this as my Desktop, I have it from Google" or "I've seen this before! she's stolen all these from Devintart" and I was like "Um...yeah.... I was the one who put those on DA ya know....
Most of the time in the past weeks I have continuously drawn Bleach chibies for buttons and bookmarks. I've made then 100 buttons and sold them ALL in one day
It was funny, that the type of buttons which sold out first and very fast, was.....the one with Hitsugaya
I was soooooooooo busy the whole day, that I couldn't even spend a few minutes with dear friends I wanted to meet so badly! Friends I met in the Camp, friends from DA, friends who came all the way from other towns , such as
Those were painful sacrifices I had to make, just for the sake of being responsible...
At the end of the convention, there was a random guy offering fan service for money (LOL)
Regarding the cosplay...There were really nice outfits, fitting the caracters so nicely, but despite of that, when they participated at the cosplay competition they had to play some roles or something...
The awful thing in my opinion, was that even if they are all romanians , they were mixing english with japanese on that stage....That was so pathetic that I couldn't even look....
The ones that didn't talk were the most successful
There are many other things I could write here, so many things happened , but that would take me 2 days just to write in here, and that would get everyone bored, if there is anyone left reading this right now
Now, I shall go back to work, and I'll submit something again really soon.
Daca a citit cineva pana aici, si a fost la NIJI, va rog mult , daca aveti timp si chef , lasati o parare generala , cat de scurta in legatura cu ce v-a placut si ce nu, ce v-ar placea sa fie la anul, cu cospalyul, cu activitatile, aleea artistilor sau chia si cu standul nostru Anime-mania in caz ca ati dat de el, daca aveti vreo nemultumire sau din potriva daca v-a placut ,sugestii de imbunatatire pe viitor, povestiti aici
