SUPANOVA 2005 - October 15 & 16, Wharf 8 Sydney [link]
ANIMANIA PHOTOSHOP PANEL TIME
My PS panel will be on in the panel section of the Art Room from 12-1 on Sunday. Unfortunately, due to a spectacular stroke of genius, this is on at the same time as the Iron Artist final. So, uh, since I'm in the Iron Artist competition, I forfeit for the final by default xD;...
REST OF ENTRY...
Well, everything's been sent to the printer, so I just gotta pick it up tomorrow and crop everything (I will be utilising the guillotines at Uni for this purpose. No way I'm cutting 200 pages with a ruler and scalpel DX...). On my mother's advice I revised down my number of prints slightly, but there should be plenty for Animania :3. In the event that I'm unexpectedly glomped by buyers I'll think about another print-run for Supanova, but I'll see how Animania goes first~
And because I know you all love them, there will be FREEBIES~! JB Hi-Fi was having rediculously cheap photo printing so I got a set of 4 trading-card sized prints done to give out. They have my Devart account url as well as 'Animania Festival 2005' written on them, and are a perfect size for slipping in you wallet X3. They'll be available to take during different times of the day so people don't just grab the fanart ones :E. There's two fanart image designs and two originals, the latter of which are not available in any other print form, and one of which was previously unreleased.
Also, the first ten customers to spend more than $10 will recieve a free stick of Giant Pocky~ I figure it's as good incentive as any for making people spend more. Those who pre-ordered (All two of you~!) will also get a stick of Pocky :3
So, the final price list is as follows~
COLOUR
A3 - $8
A4 - $5
Postcard - $2
Bookmarks - $2
BLACK AND WHITE
A3 - $3
A4 - $2
Postcard - 50c
Kagae A5 set - $2
Kagae A4 set - $3
Kagae postcard set - $1
I didn't end up getting Kagae done as a double-sided set, since anything double-sided causes me mental anguish after last years failed bookmarks... (That and I finished the B+W PDF at 2 am last night so I was just 'blah whatever~) So they're only going to be available as a set of two B+W prints :3.
I'll update this entry when I have my prints, so until then I'll see you at Animania
[Wednesday]
Well, looks like they weren't printed today (I had said I just needed them by Friday I guess), so I'm going to pick them up tomorrow and crop the A4's and bookmarks at home, and the A3's at Uni on friday if I go into the city.
I did get the freebie prints picked up though, and they came out very well if I may say so myself X3. Very glossy and vibrant. Also finished cutting out all 140 of them
[Thursday]
Holy fuck, my arms... they've like, died. When I thought of how many prints I was getting, I somehow didn't envisage having to carry them in a box. The colour prints are as thick as a phonebook. But damn, do they look smexy (Especially since Itachi is the first print). Now I just need to crop them all.
Oh, the bookmarks weren't done so they're sending them to my house by courier tomorrow, free of charge.
[Friday]
Omg... WHAT IN THE NAME OF CRAZY FUCK? Okay, the bookmarks arrived, and while half of them look very lovely and actually match up, the other half... well, are not quite as lovely. That is, they have the image from the OTHER set of bookmarks on the back, making some kind of strange hybrid Naruto/Original bookmark thing. I rang them up and it sounds like they printed it off right, but it just got mangled somehow. They're printing off another set so hopefully I'll still have all 24 of each by tomorrow, otherwise I'll just have 12.
Blah








Er anyhow, I bought two prints and I think you did a marvelous job with the "Iron Artist" skit.
And where do you get the pocky? I've only seen the lil ones so far O_o;
But neways, that was really stupid with the IA Competition o_O Would think they would try to consider one of only three of the contestants x_X But good luck with that anyway XD
And omg I wants a card XD Haha, make sure they don't run out before I get there! X3
Yey! Well see ya there! X33
Well, yeah, one would have hoped that they cross-checked the timetable to make sure people weren't in two places at once, but I guess someone had a brain lapse when doing that.
Don't worry, I had plans to save a set of card for people who pre-ordered so you'll get one. And since you wanted to know, Giant Pocky is about 30cm tall and as thick as a fat pencil. Very tasty snack indeed~
Hmm, I guess there has to be some kind of mistake in these kinds of things... and if it was just one person compiling it, it would be a bit harsh I guess x_X
Oh yay I get a card XD
And from the sounds of it, Giant Pocky sounds like it would make a very nutritious meal... XD Haha, I'm looking forward to trying it! XD And seeing you there! X3
And with the the panel too! I have to decide whether I'm going on Sunday, because I only pre-ordered for Saturday and it means another 30 bucks....stupid me XD
But if my wallet survives the day, I'm all for it! I'm really interested in seeing how you put your works together!
