how to prepare to be a vendor?

hi! i'm an artist and have wanted to start my own shop for YEARS. i want to start working towards being a vendor at conventions. so my question is this: how do you prepare?

how many different pieces do you usually make for a convention?

how much extra of one print (etc) do you carry?

how can i make my booth stand out?

and any other tips? thank you <3

UPDATE + does this look alright?

hello! i posted on here a few days ago asking for assistance with this drawing i have to have completed by this thursday.

you were all very helpful. i am much more pleased with this outcome. i would like to ask however if it looks alright and if theres anything else i need to add before i color/render?

i am giving this drawing to the actor in the references on friday, so its imperative that it looks alright!!

i have a cartoony/semi-realistic style. so when i ask for help/critique, i am asking for likeness and not exact replica. i want him looking off in the angle i drew with a frustrated/thoughtful/gloomy expression. hopefully i captured it. for critique, i would like tips on anatomy/placement on the arm and chest, and placement on the face/hairline. thank you.

character is FP Jones from Riverdale, actor is Skeet Ulrich. reference + original lineart (the one i previously posted) included.

[order goes: full body (current) 1, full body (original) 2, headshot (current) 3, headshot (original) 4, references. hopefully this isnt too confusing.]

hey! i'm a novice writer and have been trying to create my own teen drama for a few years. i love the format of teens discovering something dark about the town and having to fight against adults to reveal it to the world, while also dealing with real life personal struggles like romance conflicts or parent troubles.

now the main question. how the HELL do i not write a complete ripoff of the shows i like?? i mostly focus on fanfiction and the like because i have this massive problem. i continue to write Riverdale part 2 or something. how do you guys not make the inspirations so obvious?? how do i make it my own??

thank you.

hey friends! heres some context. im 17, and am turning 18 soon. i've never had a REAL relationship or even a CRUSH outside of fictional media- and even then calling it a 'crush' is a stretch.

i've always wanted to be in a relationship. i've always wanted my first kiss or to be married or to go on dates. i've 'dated' two men and a woman. i didnt feel romantically for any of them- but mistook my platonic love for romantic, leading me to feel very uncomfortable or distant in the relationship. none of them lasted more than a month, with me constantly making excuses not to see them until eventually just breaking it off.

the more i visualize what it would be like to be married or even in a relationship, it feels suffocating and more like a prison than a loving feeling.

i still WANT a boyfriend- badly. but im just not sure if my heart is wired for romance. maybe i've seen too many romcoms and have a disoriented picture of what love feels like? i dont know, i feel like i've fallen WAY behind my peers. i've never felt anything remotely similar to a crush. maybe i'm just too young still??

what i'm asking is, **how did you guys figure out you were aromatic?** do you think theres a shot i might be? i'm really not pushing for it, but its something i'm considering.

thank you.

hey! this is lineart of fanart i did of Cure Happy from Smile Precure (or glitter lucky from glitter force)! it looks a little off to me so i wanted to ask for some advice before i colored.

i am going for semi-realism, leaning closer to cartoony. not really anime-esc but i dont mind if it veers into that territory. as long as it looks like cure happy!

what looks off here, how do i fix it, and what advice do you have for future lineart?

i included my references.

thank you <3

hey! i'm relatively new in the oshi space (im new to labels lol i've apparently been doing this for a LONG TIME) but i want to make an itabag for my oshi!!

issue: i dont know where to look.

i dont have a big budget, so i'd prefer the lower end. quality doesnt have to be great- just serviceable. where should i look?

hey! for a convention happening soon, i've decided (last minute) to cosplay as Lucy Stevens from the detective pikachu movie. i want to bring a pokeball!

i own a cheap pokeball that came with a little mystery figure, but it has a clear top and i really hate how it looks.

**how would you suggest i make my own pokeball? or maybe how could i make the pokeball more opaque?**

i considered paint, but i dont like the look of streakiness that comes with acrylic paint. i'm on a SEVERE budget, so i'm only working with what i have available to me.

hey! i've only been in this sub for a month or two, but everytime i see Sir brought up, the comments usually ignore him or trash on him. i'm very confused. i enjoyed his character for the most part, and found him very fun to watch. i wouldnt be asking if it didnt seem universal.

is it because of his introduction scene with the tickle machine? bc i can understand that lmfao- that was WEIRD.

i just want to hear everyone's opinions on Sir! i quite liked him! i'm only halfway through season 5 right now, so i'd appreciate if you keep spoilers to a minimum. <3
