#life update #conventions #yearly art challenge
it's september
hi hello, it's hal again. just finished another convention, was fun talking to a lot of artists. pretty slow, but i'm really happy i got to meet and talk to a lot of people! one of my highlights was meeting iwi (bsky), formerly an arknights merch artist i used to go to conventions for and buy from. iwi and their partner anag-nesis (bsky, 18+) were such a delight to talk to! theyre both very friendly abd talkative and i like that a lot
i've made a page for my newest monthly art challenge: ethantember, where i draw ethan every day for the entire month of september. please enjoy. i'll try to update it as much as possible. these will also be posted on my socials of course, but these blog posts will have special info bits like i did with august august on cohost.
i also have one more upcoming convention - patrons of the arts: originals 2 this november! very excited for this, it's an original art centered con. this one specifically is OC focused which is awesome, and it's really encouraging hearing that originals is usually artists' best events in terms of sales. i'm currently recovering from post-con fatigue (and some really bad period symptoms) but i'm excited to start making merch for this!
that's all for now! sorry to plug so many i guess, business stuff i wont do it a lot i promise but i would like to earn money. last one - i have a vgen now! i'm planning to open commissions sometime this month.
see you in the next blog post!
