Initial concept sketches for a crow head costume thing. I got a burst of motivation from seeing articulated finger extension videos on yt, which compelled me to start this year-long project.

Fanart of this silly guy. Never landed on a pose for the drawing, and honestly didn't like the book all that much to motivate myself to finish it.

Various DTIYS I did. I have no idea who each of these characters belong to anymore. These were made in my unorganized artist era.
I remember I won third place for this but I didn't have paypal and when I tried to make one it didn't work lmao.
Watercolour, ink, acrylic paint.
Lowkey, idk if this is a DTIYS. It could very well be an orginal character/drawing

The fated day finally came!! Definitely was a stressful time. I made stands for the sticker promo board and the board I hung the posters on at the makerspace earlier in the day. Me and my friend also made cute little fandom labels for the stickers.
I invited quite a few of my friends to come hang out during this debacle. It was a blessing and a curse. One of my friends in particular kept on pissing me off by constantly nagging me abt how "increase profits." Actually got pissed off to such a high degree but I digress.
Anyways, the event was really cute. There were a LOT of vendors. Hot damn, was the room crowded. A lot of them were also seasoned vendors which was pretty crazy. I wish I had gone around and been more friendly to them, but I see why I didn't this event had me exhausted before it even began.
I ended up setting the pricing as: 3$ for one large sticker, 5$ for two large stickers, $1 for one small sticker, and $15 for one poster.

Things I learned:
Less clutter! The table was really overwhelming and I'd like space to put my laptop for excel tracking xP
Actually have people follow my art account for receiving my stamp for the stamp rally
Just chillll, have a good timee. It'll be a lot easier when I do it again because 90% of the work will already be done, but I still need to remember that this is for the fun sillies and that I don't need to focus on numbers at all.

According to my Excel sheet (which definitely is not 100% accurate because I forsure missed a few things), the data is as follows:
58 Stickers Sold
0 Posters Sold
Cost: 141.35
Revenue: 118
Profit: -23.35
Note: the cost includes sticker paper/some supplies that I didn't actually use, but because it was related I included it. Also, the vinyl was apparently 50$ which I swear it wasn't- never in my right mind would I buy that. Still put it in as 50$ because whtvr.
The most popular sticker designs were: The Knight (13), Coraline (7), and Grimm (6).
**Some of them were traded for other stickers / not exactly sold**
0 posters sold?? Yepppp. I think it's less of a pricing problem, but more of a people just weren't interested in the fandoms. I would've sold them for any amount of money tbh, but noone seemed interested. Plus, I tried to do a poster trade with someone and they declined because they weren't familiar with any of the fandoms. I mean I didn't know the fandoms their posters were about either, but ig a lot of people aren't interested in posters purely for the illustration ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ
So I have a lot of posters... Teehee. I'll definitely try to sell them next year again (as I will with the leftover stickers), but I don't know if it'll make much of a difference. Hopefully, though ๐๐๐
Idk man it's strange because I genuinely look at those four pieces and am so proud that I made it. Like the craftsmanship yo. I can't tell if I'm genuinely just being delusional, but it's not like anyone close to me has given me the impression that they're actually terrible drawings either.
Ofc my own opinion is what matters most, and despite the doubt that the lack of sales for these posters has given me, it hasn't changed how much I absolutely love those pieces. Especially because the technique I used changes for each one. All of them give me a different thought of "I can't believe I made that" and takes me out of the whole 'I can immediately tell how I made that' mindset that I fall into when subconsciously trying to devalue my art/skills. I really have to think to recall the techniques I used to make each piece (O.K. maybe not the hellboy one but still), because they're all so damned complicated. Idk I love them a lot, but I will be forever a little bit bummed that other people don't love them as much as I.
