People of CON-G you guys are amazing thank you for everything!
I must say I didn't expect too much from this con due to the pretty rural location, but I was wrong big time. The artists, cosplayers, staffs, and everyone there was just so kind and fun I could not possibly ask for more. Of course cannot forget the people who took a glance, commented, and purchased my works! I wouldn't even be able to do this without you guys thank you all so very much for supporting an amateur artist like myself.
I must apologize as well for the lack of new prints since the last conventions. That FFXIII contest that began like week before and was due on day of CON-G (hell of a timing) just had to take priority above personal works, and sacrificing the quality of my personal works just to make it for the convention was not an option, but enough of excuses.
Next stop is TORONTO COMIC CON on March 7th! This time new prints are sure to appear as I'm nearly done with couple of them. I can't wait to see everyone there pretty sure it'll be a blast!
Thank you again, 'til next time and cheers!
EDIT: some sketches are uploaded on my facebook page! check 'em out!
About Fan Art
Being heavily involved in the fan art genre, there's a few words I have to say about it. Fan art is pretty straight forward to understand it's purpose, but I think there is more depth to it than a mere cheap drawing of a character from a certain IP. From what I've seen 'til now, there are mainly two motives that drive an artist to create fan art: for self expression or for its reward.
Creating fan art for self expression is when the artist experienced one or multiple moments in an IP that made them feel a strong connection/attachment to said IP, and have the urge to translate that experience in their art. When an artist have a strong passion
I'm still alive
I've been quite busy from the convention season and now I've been getting commissions left and right. So as good as that is; it's not looking up for my personal works. Plus I am absolutely terrible at keeping up with social media. Sorry friends, any promises are likely to be broken knowing myself but I do have good things in the works.
Just something on my mind lately
I think there are subtle hints to artworks as to what the artist focused on and what their mindset was. Some focus on technical skill, marketability, study, etc. and all of them can be striking, but those that show honest love for the subject matter tends to be continuously striking. Something that my own work could improve on but something that I notice the absence in many many artworks these days. It's not something that's wrong but something that's quickly losing meaning and purpose. I have to wonder if something like that can still be considered art?
Humor in writing
I have heard humor is a difficult aspect in writing to critique; at least in the comic/manga medium, but from the writer's perspective it's a whole other world of difficult. Humor I find is such a biased aspect more than any other aspects in writing. But it's not really surprising that it is though because so many things could influence what is funny, like context, culture, emotion, belief... actually now that I think about it, anything can influence what is funny.
I heard also that humor can be critiqued based on how much it contributes to the plot, and if it doesn't contribute to the plot it could be considered poor writing; a cheap way to
