First part of my coverage of Artist Alley from Anime Central 2010!

NOTE: If you are in this video, and you do not wish me to have your footage posted here on YouTube, please send me a private message and let me know. Pleas include which time you appear in the video and description of which person you are.I will be happy to remove it from the video for you and re-upload. -heart- Thank you!

After watching this video, I have determined that I hate my voice AND the way I speak, and I have poor camera control...oi...I need voice lessons. DX

Please let me know if you have any corrections and/or additions to the artists' info!!

do you know how to get a table in an artist alley

[AkiAmeko]

@ThatWhiteKnight It's different for every convention, but usually you just go to the convention website and find the information. Be sure to do this PLENTY EARLY before the convention--I've seen an artist alley sell out as much as six months before the con. (Usually bigger cons, ACen is definitely a bigger one.) You usually just fill out a form and send in a check. Be sure to read the rules, as many conventions have restrictions on fan art and other restrictions on goods.

@CosmicAnimex I see. Okay, just be aware that even though an artist may draw something for you, that doesn't mean you can use it anywhere you want. If you're planning to use it anywhere at all you will need their permission.

[AkiAmeko]

@CosmicAnimex Oooh, that's where you might get yourself into a shady area. If it's something that you're planning to reprint and distribute (like a book cover) then you're probably going to have to negotiate a lot more with the artist. Most artists will have a flat fee for that sort of thing, and then they will want a certain percentage of any profit you make. A con might be a good place to FIND an artist, but all the negotiations for that may need to be done afterwards, and maybe with an agent.

@CosmicAnimex It's a bit different for every artist, but usually they will have a flat rate for a certain type of commission. Most will have you pay up front. Depending on the artists' limitations, they could draw you an anime or other character, your original character, or even you! Be sure tell the artist as much or as little that you have in mind for the commission. It's also helpful to tell the artist what it is about their work you admire--that can help them make it spiffier for you. :)
