I wasn't a fan of Rachel and I know she did some batshit things to "protect" Homestuck, but you can't assume that every independent creator is going to be that iron-fisted about IP that is rightfully theirs to begin with, especially if that insinuation starts to turn into blaming the creators themselves.

Like aside from Rachel, which creators have been really that batshit about protecting their IP's? What "middle ground" are creators refusing to acknowledge, and why should they even acknowledge this "middle ground" if fans are gonna be complete asshats and not do what they're very politely asking them not to do?

Depends on what you go for. The profit margin is usually enough to justify hitting up a huge con and dealing with flights. Plus, if you've done one or two, the rest are relatively easy to manage.

I like big cons for the profit and seeing friends I usually don't see. Big cons bring us together since everyone's there to table. Small cons are nice because they're less stressful, are good for getting rid of some inventory, and making a bit of pocket money on the side.

But that drama is typical of any juried show that doesn't have an explicit rubric. This was the exact same shit that happened with Fanime last year-- Juried shows, no one knew what the fuck they were being scored on, no one could make any sense of the people who got in vs. the people who didn't, loads of speculation, etc. etc. etc.

But apparently it's more fair than fcfs sooooo....

Yep, that's how it is now. Doesn't help that the Bay area is saturated with artists.

It's never rude to ask an artist if they want to trade. It IS rude if you insist on trading when they decline- however that may be. On the other hand, if someone offers to trade you, you're not obligated to trade them unless you actually like their stuff. Just be upfront about it and say you don't do trades or you're not interested. The one I usually say is that they don't have any fandoms I'm super interested in, and that's worked pretty well for me.

MIght've been confusing for her friend Karen/iamacoyfish? She got in, Emi didn't.

This Katsucon drama all seems vaguely familiar.....

What ban?

>>8719440
Yeah, how dare he criticize you. You are the psychopath, since you obviously never learned to deal with criticism.

>>8717930
Get one of these

Use a logical organizing system (by color, name, etc.)

Obviously, you don't have to point that out you attention whore

>>8717205
How rude

It's okay to be jealous.
I'd be too.

Thanks for covering me, but most of the more recent comments are actually made by me. I know this troll tried to put me in a bad spot, but let's be honest here, stuff like

really is hideous.

Yes I do have something wrong with your ugly ass girlfriend. Her crooked nose and pointy chin make her face look like a crescent moon even from that angle and you really should invest less money in dresses you can't wear properly and more on body care products. Your zits and dimples and yellow teeth are disgusting.

From the thumbnail, I thought this was gonna be another leopard print

When I do them, they do tend to bring in a fair amount. I'd estimate like 20~30% of my earnings come from commissions?

I keep expecting tons of people to make this comparison, but it's only popped up a couple of times on my social media feeds. I guess Dragon's Crown wasn't as big as I thought it was.

I don't mind the idea, but yeah, the similarity in the designs is a bit disappointing. There are definitely multiple ways to express a dainty archer elf archetype.

Seems like you talk from experience

Good riddance.
