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.
