Hitman Reborn - Vongola Rings

After 2 online orders, I've finally got my set of vongola rings!! The first set I bought was a "special release" apparently... And the quality of the rings I thought, were significantly lower quality than the non special release lol.

Anyways, after the disappointing first set of rings, I decided to order again(because the first ones were my fault, I thought there existed only 1 set of rings...and didnt realise I had placed an order on the "special release set" lol).

This time around, I ordered the appropriate set, which were much cheaper, so I was a bit worried at first lol. But anyhow, heres some photos of the 2 sets I bought :)


-Anyways, heres the first set I bought. The "Special" release version.




-And heres the 2nd set I ordered. The normal version.




-And heres a comparison photo of a ring from both sets.

Rei and Asuka EX Sweet Witches

I bought these 2 on the same day I bought the Yuki Nagato nendoroid :D Wow, these 2 were really cheap in comparison to a lot of the other figurines I have to say. Only about $20 each, and they're quite big too XD;

Though I have to say, the quality is not as good as some of the other figurines I have. For example, the nendoroid :) Notice how I have not taken any extreme close-up photos of them LOL!

Yuki Nagato Nendoroid

Just last week, I ordered a few figurines online. I took some photos of one of them XD; This is so well made, I wish I didn't have to order everything online... but New Zealand doesn't have much anime merchandises in shops :P

Doujin Overload

Yesterday was the Doujin Overload event, its an anime convention held near where I live. It was my first time participating in one of these events as an artist. I have to say it was an awesome experience and I had loads of fun throughout the day.

I participated this year's event with a group of friends, and together we named our group "Nexus VII" and made an artbook called "Sushi" composing of all our artwork. We sold these books with 7 different covers to choose from. I also sold some of my own individual stuff. A few posters and bookmarks.

Although the books were far from selling out, and I made some losses on the books, my posters and bookmarks broke even for my loss on the books, and I actually made a profit at the end. I guess my lesson for next year is...to prepare more stock, as I ran out of posters quite fast and had to restock about an hour into the event...

I made some bookmarks and A3 posters(the photos below are A4, but on the day I had them in A3) for sale at the event.I took part in a few pages of an artbook, and designed one of the covers(there were 7 variations).


-Heres some photos of what my friends and I were selling at the time.


-Nexus VII artbooks! Each group member was to make a unique cover for the book.
I did the middle cover within these 3, theres 4 others but I don't have them with me :(
