Artists can draw fanart for fun and all but if they're not the tiniest bit original enough to draw stuff people would lile like without using stolen intellectual property to give their sold work value then that is a little lame.

I find it especially annoying when people who have talent waste it taking from other talented people for profit. Draw fanart sure but don't break the law and disrespect the creator selling it to make money. Are you really a "fan" if you do that?

Especially in an industry like anime or manga for example where the pay is pitiful for many people and they do it because they love it even if it is tough work.

Because OC art doesn't sell at cons and artists have to get paid. I'm not going to cons expecting to buy OC I've never heard of. I'm going to a con to buy cheap fan art of stuff I like.

Advocating that I shouldn't buy fan art? I might as well not attend cons then.

Do all artists in all artist alleys in every con in the world have all of their art online that I can purchase on readily available websites with correct tags to find it?

No. They don't.

I go to browse, discover and find new art. It's called shopping. Not everything is available on your phone with one click shopping. Only the Chinese people who rip off fan art to slap on products make that happen. They rip off the artists who risk putting their fan art online.

Is it though? A few other anons in this thread have lamented the fact that people make their whole careers out of fanart instead of using their talent elsewhere.

I shop in person and online, but sometimes you just want to see the merchandise in person, or commission someone.

>>10295026
Yes, you are a fan if you draw and sell fanart. Because other fans want more and more of that stuff, and I can tell you, I just want to pay someone to draw my favorite ships together. No, I can't find that through official sources, so your opinion on that means nothing to me. :)

Also I often prefer the fanartist's style to the official art.

AND I normally dislike most original content I see at cons. I'm not drawn to those stories, I'm there because I already saw a show I liked and wanted extra content for it.

>>10295059

I'm going to Anime Frontier and A-Kon this year, despite that back to back date. I'm so glad I have a big boy job for the first time in my life. I might also go to Anime Fest again if the guest list is right, but it was really disappointing last year guests aside.

Yeah I agree the arcade was really great compared to last year! They said at closing ceremonies that the pre-reg over the past year helped them get the bigger arcade, and they'd like to keep prices low (pre-reg is now currently 20 for next year once they get it up), but pre-orders will help them afford a bigger gameroom for the next year.

They need to work on security, though. SegaMew lost $700 worth of merch in the dealers room because they did not enforce it well enough. My friends said they saw some bootleg merch, too. I don't personally care much about that, but I think that the con doesn't put as much effort into overhead management as they need to, because they never answer questions or get back to you still.

They had two food trucks and the hotel provided on-site food options for a decent price this year. Also the rave was run by Greg Ayres but I didn't bother to go because I'm old and I passed out, lol. Oh, also dealers room had two vendors selling snacks, which I don't think they had last year.

Cosplay contest was decent, I'm surprised at how small it was, but heard that it was capped at 20 entries. Anyone know if it was true?

Yeah, I've been pointing that out to my friends. I feel sorry for any artists tabling at either. I think ANT will suffer more. They already moved dates, locations, and now will lose even more attendees to the MH con, because those people were gonna fall all over themselves to go to such a dedicated event anyway. It's super popular.

I like BNHA but not enough to drop money and go. I am still salty about ANT taking all year to admit that they 'free' badge was a glitch, then acting like 'oh but you can get a discount on our new date and location if this happened to you!'. Uh, no. No, because your communication and customer service has already shown me it sucks after I asked again and again with no answers.

Lines aren't really a thing aside from tonight's early badge pick up. Speaking of, you should do that if you can. You're more likely than not going to have to park in the retail garage. The hotel spots get filled immediately and don't open up. Don't think about parking at any other business because you'll get towed within an hour. Just stick to the garage or make a few sweeps around the hotel lot if you just really feel that lucky. Last year I parked at the bookstore and didn't get towed but I think it was because I had a student sticker on my car at the time and they probably assumed I worked there.

Fucked if true. If all the Nintendo fanart was pulled from cons, artist alleys would be dead instantly. Just the Pokemon shit being gone alone would probably clear a third of a given artist alley.

>>10295360
I did almost back-to-back cons last year (Afest then San Japan), it was exhausting. There were different guests and different things to do at each one, but it still felt repetitive to me just because cons tend to all be the same thing, especially for someone like me for whom panels are the biggest thing.

A-Kon is bigger but not better. When it use to be in one building it was all about the parties. The current setup spreads it out which kills the nightlife. The move to the convention center along no main hotel mean the parties that drew people in aren't happening anymore.

A-Kon use to have a bunch of small side events but a lot of them got axed after the disaster 2019 con. They haven't shown any signs to be bring them back in 2020 in the new location.

I've gone to a couple of PAXs and honestly unless you're trying to network (collect your street passes) or be there mega early to beta-test games/compete, not really all that worth it.

Cosplay is minimal, I'd say maybe 1 out of every 50 people there are dressed up. There tends to be a lot of lines, the last time I went (2018), bf and I got to play through maybe 2 or 3 games and saw like 2-3 panels. Nothing particularly impressive or memorable.

Not trying to be a debbie downer, just being realistic; but hey like i said if they're into vidya games and wanna meet indie developers, then they might find something to enjoy

My friends angled it as "unable to go to PAX South and normie enough to have decent parties", so that's fine with me so long as there are decent events to chill out with some fun jokey panels. I'm not real interested in VA or lolita panels anymore.

Decided to say fuck it and go, it's not really that much money(got the whole weekend for like ~150) and worst case is I can be out of the house and maybe drink with some cosplayers.

I stopped going to PAX, I just seriously can't bring myself to waste that amount of cash on something like that again.

>Games are all adjusted so you feel like a badass playing them
>Anything worth buying is well overpriced
>cosplay scene is a bell curve of quality
>always feel like I can't stop moving without getting run over
>eating anywhere is tough shit
>price for what is gotten seems well too inflated

Dunno if it's just me getting older but I'd rather do a smaller con where I can breathe a bit and chat with people in cosplay that isn't "wow cool another dead pool! LOL PICKLE RICK!".

I wouldn't say it's not popular, but I know so many people who've gone one year then have regret of the wallet right after.

Also the panel have gone down so far it's not worth it. Oh boy can't wait for:
"being a blerd(black nerd) what am I in for?!"
"Women and sexual harassment in online gaming!"
"LGBTQA+ indie dev showcase"
Followed by any actual panels having the dumbest stock fed questions from crowds essentially making it worthless and a big ad promo for some games.

ANT has never been a big night life con but things tend to pick up in the afternoon/early evening, that's when I usually see the most people and more interesting panels. They're moving to the Arlington Convention Center this year so CC hours might affect late programming though. If it's too far out of your way to get there I wouldn't bother.

Everyone has different experiences at cons, so one person is going to have a different opinion on how they enjoy a con vs someone else. The best thing is to just experience it and make judgements yourself. Worst case scenario, you have a shitty time and know better for next year.

I think the anon is confused because the word "nightlife" is ambiguous on this board. For some it means "panels at night worth going to" but for others it means "parties and social events".

If the "panels at night" hard to say as it looks like ATN got a full overhaul to a new location with more shit to do. For parties, looks like there is enough around to at least bar hop or drink with others at. Doubt it's anything AWA levels but probably decent and easy enough to find shit to do.

PAX is not a cosplay event unless you are a paid professional, sponor of a game, or shit like that. There is seriously no reason to go to PAX if you are trying to go in with cosplay because you are appeasing people who guess you are from DBZ, Sailor Moon, or maybe some adult swim show. You'd get better recognition at a nerd bar in cosplay on a friday night than you would pax for most of it.

PAX is mostly about esports, promoting indie games from minority/LGBTQ(seriously I know this sounds pol but it's so damn true) upcoming, and now shoehorned "social media feel good crap". You're wasting your time and money going to PAX unless you are one of those people who claps at hearing star wars and mario clones. Yeah there is some okay stuff, but for the cost, time investment, and bullshit you have to go through to deal with it not worth it by any stretch.

1:50 cosplaying is a high note, it's probably like 1:80 or so. Even then "cosplay" Is LMAO I GOT A GREEN LANTERN SHIRT ON or BAZINGA! HAHA NERD CULTURE!

How bad was it? I really wanted to go even though I've had a history of planning to skip it until the last minute when they pull some guest out of their ass at the last minute that makes it worth it for me. Last year they had a bunch of Ace Combat stuff going on, so I had the time of my life since that's been my niche game love forever and got to compete (and win for once), but this year on the schedule there was...nothing. Did Capcom even show up? They and Namco have been the only really big names I've recognized showing up consistently.

I heard this was the last year for South too, but I don't know if that's true or not. Wouldn't be surprised if it was; not once has it even come close to being as good as the one year I went to East.

Not sure how good Dreamhack is, but $80 or whatever for a pass (plus $30 to mail it???) is insane to me for what looks like PAX South II: The Search for Gamer Girl Feet Pics.

Schedule is up since some people were talking about it here for ANT. Doesn't look as bad as some people seemed to make it out as, just looks like your standard mid range con. Probably only complaint from a small overview is photo-shoots weren't added in which seems easy for a mid-size con to promote.

So basically, where our AA titles from Namco and Capcom usually are was the Mixer booth that no one really gave a fuck about, the arena which was pretty much just playing fortnite for most of the weekend and the Houston Outlaws (OMEGALUL AT OVERWATCH IN 2020)

There was also Secret Neighbor (the Hidden: Source clone with a reskin and shitty gimmick). A few super extra expensive indie stores for D&D. I found lots of mediocre 200 buck dice sets and that pissed me off bc I'd rather just buy from a smaller handmade dice stores like Yaniir or Dicey Dungeons. 7 clothing stores which resold things off of Aliexpress and scalped amibos or other statue collectibles. Lots of Anime merch (why?).

Other already released indie games, such as Night in the Woods, Brawlhalla or Pillars of Eternity, were there to demo, but everyone who is going to buy those games already has. PoE had a cool board game but only had one to play so you were unlikely to get to play it.

Reaper wasn't there due to revamping con inventory during their kickstarter, so not pax's fault on that, just inconvenient circumstance. Wyrmwood and Level-Up dice continue to overcharge for things you can find elsewhere in the convention.

They expanded the tabletop section and moved the PC section and Autograph sections to be in the expo hall, which took up more space for other things that could be there. MTG had about 12 tables for their events this year. I'm glad I played EDH on Sunday because I would have smelled that stank and got my ass handed to me by those 4 turn end decks, or more Shadowborn Apostle BS. I didn't interact with the other card games so idk what to tell you.

And last thing I did was the True Dungeon Demo. I didn't know it had shuffleboard combat and that sucks zzz

Sounds like at this point it's basically a con for Twitch celebs and people who beat off to Adventure Zone episodes.

Ugh. I was so hyped for it when South first started. I figured we'd finally have an actual no-shit video game convention in the south, but no, PAX management ran it into the ground and the D&D crowd is pissing on the grave now. Maybe going to East in 2014 set my expectations just way too high.

I could be wrong here but isn't ANT a con of like 5-6k, maybe 8k tops? To be fair here there are larger cons out there with even worse schedules that go on yearly.

Much of this.

Major games, were out right impossible to get to or not worth the time playing
Indie games, are the main pull these days, but 90% of it is meh platformers or "let me tell you about my racial background/LGBTQ/I am X minority, so I made this game!" The games are usually fine but the amount of other shit slapped in your face gets annoying to an extent I just can't deal with even if it's 100% legit.
People, Most were okay but unless you follow the Twitch, marvel/dc stuff, or mainstream nerd media. Nothing offensive but hearing about how "I loved halo as a kid and (adult show on netflix here) is awesome so I came to this" gets old fast

If you really want to see your favorite e-celeb from twitch going could be nice, if you have a wad of cash burning in your pocket this will solve it, if you want a "safe" con to go to with someone like your significant other who isn't into nerd shit at all this is what it's for these days.

I'd give it that it's probably going to increase this year as
1) not in a shit location by the airport
2) not in a shit location by the aiport
3) not slammed up against any other cons/holidays

4-5 is more realistic, but seeing it's new location and time of year I'd say it would easily get a bump. Airport hotels never really bring in the main crowds.

Can also mean for in a group of say 5, 3 have badge and 2 don't. 3 people with badges enter the event, one person collects all 3 badges and walks out gives it to the other 2 people without badges to enter the event.

Let me tell you what a con cares about. I'll give you a hint, it's not your shitty cosplay. They absolutely prefer the guy in a big bang t-shirt that pays the fucking badge prices you pissant child. That guy is giving them the money they need to run the con you feel entitled to because you think you're hot shit. I guess way to prove the other anons point though.

For anyone else that truly can't afford a badge then submit panels or volunteer. You'll get in free for a little work, but you will be helping the event out so it can improve. You know, instead of crying about how shitty it is and you weren't going to go anyway on 4chan.

i'm just going to chime in, you're being really hypocritical. the con won't be around long if enough people use your logic. you should be paying the con if you want it to succeed. if you think it's shit, or too expensive, just lobby con so that will incentivize it to get better. you can't make up your mind whether the con is garbage, or whether you're helping it by bringing in people to see you.

AX has actual guests from Japan, good panels, people wo serious cosplay, and generally is so much better.

Hot take but I actually like smaller cons to cosplay at vs large ones with lots of pros. Meeting people who do similar cosplay is way easier, and talking to them like humans is way better as generally less time crunch. People tend to not have their head so far up their assholes that you can chill a fair bit, panels often have non stock/normie Q&A sessions, the +18 panels at night are often way better.

Dance shit and vendor halls can be lacking, but i do find more reasonable prices at small cons for merch or vendors unaware what they are selling off or doing discount to make inventory for larger cons.

If you paid 60 dollars to go do this, may be worth it still, but if you did the pre-reg for it then 35 for a weekend con isn't bad. I wouldn't pay for the con hotel, but worth a day trip or shitty local motel.

If you're wanting a decent dance/rave, ax isn't a good choice anyway. You can check mogra's stream for the last few years, and it's embarrassingly awful. Everyone just stands there staring forward, with a few trying to get people pumped up, only for them to eventually give up.
