in the making part 4

Dinosaur nuggets and Futurama marathon!

which it means...

Button making day!

I restocked some of button sets, few sets were quite popular at conventions so yesterday we spent the afternoon making them.  Ah, nothing beats good ol' dino nuggets and Futurama in a production day.

annnd ~~ I have news! I did the Pikachu and Gastly line, after I finish packaging them it will be online shortly.  Here's the first look!

Mega Man

My best friend Randy suggested me drawing some Mega Man couple weeks ago, when I asked him what character I should do next for conventions :)

These are actually pencil sharpener designs, but I'm also thinking about making them into button pins because I already made them rounded.

Mega Man sure brings back childhood memories, I remember I used to play it with my brother all the time when we were little.  My favorite character is the Servbots, they are just so adorable!

commission

Here is a commission I did while we were at Fanime this past weekend.  It's an original character from a fan, it's a Emolga but with lots of fun attitude and personality!  I worked on this in the hotel room, hence the weird lighting.  I love the expression when the customer came to pick up this piece tho, a smile I will never forget :)

Unfortunately we had to leave Fanime early.  I'm sorry if anyone missed our table.  There were a lot of problems in this con that we found that's unfair and disorganized.

Anyways, time to move on and get ready for the next con!

Fanime goods preview

Phew, I think I finished everything on time!  

Last night I was packing until 1 AM but I think it's all good to go! yay!

Oh, and I just picked up my new prints, they will be available at the con :D  

It's going to be my first time selling large prints, I hope they go well (why do I feel so nervous?)

Tomorrow we are driving up to San Jose, I can't wait to see friends and cosplayers! it's been years since my first visit to Fanime, it's gonna be so much fun!

I'll be at table #47 and 48, please come check it out!

As usual, I have stickers to give away, new designs too :)

See you at Fanime!

Still working on Fanime stuff, and there's only one week left...O_O;;

This morning I had trouble with the printer. I thought it was dying on me, and I can not have a dying printer a week before the con, no, this is unacceptable.

I do lots of printing with it, and I still have tons of things I have to finish.  Well the good news is that I found out the printhead was clogged, and was able to clean it before it gets worse.  

Now it's working fine! :D

Phew, I'm not the most mechanical person in the world, I don't even know a thing about maintenance (like cars, what?), but today, I learned that I should take care of the machine, especially the ones I can not live without.
