This so much. Her attitude is really annoying. But at least she won't improve like this. I also remember her saying in Q&A's that she doesn't want to go to art school because she doesn't like the way they teach. Totally not because she could never survive there if she can't stand critism, she's such an art goddess she knows better than those mean art schools.

>> No.8614941

She could never survive solely because she seems to draw bustshots 90% of the time.

Tho I wouldn't necessarily disagree with not going to art school because of not liking the way they teach. That's a personal opinion and honestly I wouldn't know if dutch schools are even any good.

>>8614954
I agree. Why would anyone even cares if she improves, anyway. There are worse artists out there and some people care more about having fun that living up to your expectations. These days people sadly care more about style than technique and sometimes that is what works for some people. She is clearly not aiming for photo-realism. Just because you have an opinion about her work doesn't mean she should have to listen to it. If she loves what she does and if other do to maybe that's okay? I mean I think Michael Bay isn't a very good directer, but he clearly has an audience and he has no use of my criticism because whoever he is selling too doesn't care.

>>8614900

>>8615879
Yes hello I am here.

This might be more of a question for the artist alley thread, but since the dutch market differs from the international one quite a bit I'm curious what you guys think about packaging. Is it worth it to package something more fancily? For example charms in simple plastic vs charms with a printed cardboard slip behind it. Do Dutchies care?
It makes your profit margin smaller, but you might sell more. You could just ask a little more, but then you might sell less. I know there's the people that think "for the same amount of money I could just get the official one". Do you think those people could be swayed by making it look more professional? Or is it just... the cheaper, the more likely people are to buy it. Thoughts? Experience?

>> No.8615950

>>8615943
I was wondering the same, I really like the look of nicely packaged charms, but I wonder if it's worth the effort in the dutch market.

Also anyone else probably getting a tsunacon table on their own? I might be able to get a friend to help me but there's a chance I'll be lonely behind my own table.

>> No.8615959

>>8615950
Yep. I /might/ table with a artist friend but as it looks now I'll be ronery as well. If that happens I'll ask a non-artist friend nicely if they can join me behind my table, though. If only so that I can have bathroom breaks without getting all my stuff stolen.

>> No.8616308

One fashion walk is enough, at least for now. Maybe two walks when the jfashion comm/comms are more organized. There weren't many lolitas at the Amsterdam walk, I wonder why.

>> No.8616381

>>8616308

Most lolita's went to the Utrecht walk cos it was organised by lolita's. The event wasn't very well known outside the lolita comm. People who did hear about it backed out of fear if it being some undercover loli meet. I liked the Amsterdam walk. Yes outfits weren't that spectaculair ( not all of them ) but the atmosphere was nice, everyone was part of the group and it was organised well. And I have seen at least 5 different styles.

Worth it.
Packaging isn't super expensive if you know how to work it.
The plastic wrappers can be bought at 100 for 3 .5 euro tops at a... kantoorhandel. If you can buy pens, paper and drop packages they likely have it. If you have a chinese homestore nearby they might have something cheaper though. Or Action, or Alibaba.
Backingpaper can be a pattern or a white/brown piece of paper with a custom stamp.

It should only add 20 cents pp really.
If you print your packaging, then be sure to include those filthy expensive ink costs.

To the other lurking artist(s) in this thread, what do you think of ordering from Vograce? I really want to honestly but shipping and possible fees are the one thing holding me back.
Would doing a bulk order with other dutch people be a better choice?

>> No.8617796

>>8617785
I've been thinking of suggesting the same thing, but (not hating or anything) I'm not sure how much I trust random strangers off cgl.
Will the shipping really be that bad, I wonder? I mean, people from the US get it shipping internationally as well. Only thing is we have higher customs fees and a higher chance of getting hit with them. What other options to get charms made do we have? Shipping from any other company would kill us as well, and the charms would be more expensive on top of that.
I'm definitely gonna try doing a small run with them (~50 charms?) so if there's a Dutch thread going when I get them, I'll let y'all know how it went. Might be a while tho.

>> No.8622101

Yes most conventions do have such rules, they may sound a bit vague but they cover harrasment and false accusations as being a Disturbance of peace and safety (openbare orde, veiligheid en zeden) and Not adhering to these house rules.

But you have to catch the culprit in the act. Anything that happens outside the convention is not the responsibility of the staff.

And unless there is a court-order or a earlier ban or perma-ban on a earlier convention con-staffs can't do much in legal terms to prevent people of entering, they can in that case only ask to stay away.

If the said culprit comes anyway and behaves than there is still not much what they can do.

She never even contacted the girl she name-shamed and it's everything she is actually against. I'm so tired of people creating drama, we all know some secrets are stupid especially fat-shaming (sorry I personally never understand that, obv. fat people know they are fat why would you mention it).

The brazil girl posted a big post about being anti-bullying and anti-btb and all. She then named someone, sort of saying that this person x is a bully who bullied a friend of hers and that if people have a problem they should be open and direct about it and not bully. Nobody knows what brazil-girl is talking about and the rest asks her and tells that naming without explanation doesn't help the situation at all, brazil-girl actually created a situation that is backfiring at her even when she had good intentions. Then brazil-girl thinks that the people who tell her that they don't understand and say that she is actually acting weird for someone who is against bullying, that they are only defending this person x (which they aren't). Brazil-girl blocked some people and posted painful frustration-posts while still not explaining her name-shaming whatsoever. Now everyone thinks she's stupid. The end?

>> No.8623040

God, that Brazilian woman is infuriating. She is not helping anyone, not even the "victim" she is defending. She is just trying to get attention for herself. She made eight posts about bullying. Eight! With many use of @unnecessaryhashtags and CAPSLOCK. And in each she pats herself on the back for stopping bullies and saving the bullied while the only thing she did was escalate the situation. How oblivious can a person be? She made it completely obvious who she was talking about. She got personally involved with drama she had nothing to do with. She involved everyone who are friends with her or the people she tagged in her post, while the situation should have been kept private. She's an absolute embarrassment.

It's probably someone who is extremely jealous. The girl in the secret is friendly, has many lolita friends from all over the world, a successful blog/vlog, travels a lot and I wouldn't be surprised if she is temporary part of street fashion europe. Enough reason for a childish jelly vendetta. I think vendetta chan wants to cause drama. I guess we will find out more in the near future.

I was there and I have some very mixed feelings about First Look (like most people seem to have).

I don't think it was that bad as a gaming convention.
I was a little disappointed that the entire venue was quite small. Also they didn't have too many really interesting games in my opinion. It's a lot of the same first shooter stuff and other things I already played everywhere else. Some of the games I wanted to see were really hard to find or not existent at all.

The real problem was that the cosplay events were handled quite poorly by the First Look organization. They apparently promised a big stage for the WCS prelim but it was packed with computers and screens, which could not be removed.
You could really see that most of the teams had some big trouble managing the small space on stage.
The cosplay ville and it's stage itself wasn't too exciting as well. I felt like the staff of animecon and abunai really tried to make something nice but First Look itself couldn't care less.


So yeah... when you're interested in that particular type of games they show it's a great event but it's probably not a good event for cosplay

The Dutch comm is nice. The comm members are nice. There is usually one meet each month, sometimes more. Are you a new lolita? It's better to go to a smaller meet the first time. You are more likely to make friends then. The comm is quite big for such a small country. I believe there are 100 active lolitas.

And yeah tsunacon is only a day long too, so I don't want to risk ending up with 50 unsold charms or something.

The only real difference is that Dutch drama is on facebook and German drama is on animexx.

Yes, I'm really starting to question it now, I mean..seriously..what's up with her?

>>8694274
I really had mixed feelings. The food and decorations were fine, but some things like the fashion show (without any comment on what was presented..) and the lack of planning/schedule for the visitors. The people helping out weren't looking very good (at least the cook had some halloween inspired accessories) and the luckypacks and raffle prices were very random from indie designers and a bit of hit or miss. I think they were going for lolita halloween for 'normal' people or something. It sure wasn't glam or sparkly special or anything, just a nice afternoon but I don't think it was worth the price honestly so next time I'll only go another time if it's cheaper.

So, uh, what actually happened? What was presented during the fashion show? (I'm seeing some pictures over at loli police's page, are they of the fashion show?) Any deets on the workshop, and the stalls (if any)?

>> No.8695581

>>8695379
It was either girls wearing a Christeline piece or an accessory which they sell I think..or I did not see it because it wasn't presented (with someone telling what was worn), they just walked and of course I get that you have fashion shows where girls just walk, but that's usually when it's clear (which) new pieces are shown. So in some cases it was clear because I knew the item and in some others I didn't really know what or why it was in the fashion show. But I'm not sure what is normal or not, so maybe it's just my point of view.

Workshop was just a table with a bunch of cheap sweet charms and a chain and pliers and some ribbon. It's cute for people who like it or have never done it, but they did the same as their last event I think? And also not very great for those who don't wear sweet lolita. It was 'hosted' by a jewelry-woman who has her own atelier in the same building I think? The cat-shaped bags in the luckypack were from her as well (can someone explain what's so lolita-ish about that? I get that we have odd-shaped bag sometimes..but only really if you have a cat-themed outfit this would make sense..it felt more like they needed to get rid of it).

Stalls were two tables, one of Medusa Couture, who I felt very bad for because she came all this way for only a small group of people. And only two people bought something I think.
The other one was from a local comm girl who makes necklaces and bracelets and took commissions at her table. That, and Christeline's atelier/shop was open of course. I don't know why there weren't any more, maybe because there was no space or because people weren't interested in being a vendor?

I don't exactly how many people were there. Maybe like 25-30.

no I´m not joking. I asked my dutch friends and they said they ´´scharelen´´ before it turns into a relationship. I´m from a culture where we go out on dinner dates and they said that is awkward and too serious if you´re not in a relationship yet. Maybe it´s because all of my Dutch friends are in their early twenties.

Usually you have a friend or aquiantance who you kind of like. You either make a move ("scharrelen') or you ask them how they feel about you and a relationship. Dinnerdates or for couples here mostly, or maybe for tinder dates, idk

Southern neighbour here, probably responding to troll but...
some relationships start by being both drunk because you're too shy to admit you like eachother.
Others start by one person asking the other person out on a date, like dinner and movies or something. You don't have to say date, just say something like "hey wanna go to the movies with me sometime?" Just ask a grill, it's not that hard.

Maybe your Dutch friends are just a bit immature? "Scharrelen" is basically fucking around without a real romantic relationship (may or may not include actual fucking) and is most commonly done by older high school students and younger college students who want to get ass without having to put in any effort towards a relationship. I have never seen a successful relationship develop from "scharrelen". People who are older or just not into fucking around with strangers definitely do go on dates, it's totally normal.

As long as you don't act like a nektas pauper (you know, those guys with bontkraagjes, petjes and a big mouth) you should be alright.
These guys give the Morrocan community a bad reputation, unfortunately you'll get tainted by the same brush.
Many people can look past that though.
Girls will notice you are a nice guy if you are nice to them and treat them with respect.
But first you need to meet girls, ones that are willing to give you the time of day, I get your struggle.
Go to some cons, have fun and meet people.

There are some cool groups indeed. MMMC is indeed one of them.
With the Tekken group I guess you mean PRISM. They seem more distant than they really are, nice to chat with.
I also like Sugoi-cos. These girls seem to have a lot of fun when you see them on stage. Rumour is that abunai screwed them over last year and reversed the judges decision because they won too much which made them stop going on stage there. Too bad because they are always funny.

I went to nishicon today, but holy fuck that was just terrible. The only decent part was the merchandise hall, and that was mostly the same as tomofair.
The main stage was cringeworthy, I don't know how it was yesterday, but this was just terrible and the fucking show host went apeshit violent at one point about how some volleyball cosplayers were throwing a ball inside the hall.
The maid cafe girls were pretty cute but the food was just storebought cheap and that was pretty disappointing.
The event rooms were just depressing and some of the people were huge attention seekers.

I don't know if anyone saw the Kurumi clock cosplaying girl, but she was hella adorable though.

I thought tomofair was bad, but for that price, I figured you couldn't expect much. But seeing as nishicon cost like 7 times as much, I was expecting it at least to be better, but it was maybe even worse.

Come on guys, you have not paid attention to their organization unless you have never been there before: All they do is take as much money for a little effort as possible.

Compare it to other 1 day conventions: there is more to do on those with less visitors and for a lower price. For 20 euros you get:
a dealerroom
a gameroom with the latest games of last millenium
3 rooms with workshops, each with a maximum capacity of 20 people
A large room for their cosplay comptition of whatever it should be, with a 300 people max limit
some food corner which has a line so long that it is better to go to the city, eat there and go back, twice..

They have like 2000 visitors, but I do not see it spent on the convention.
