Good point about the lighting. My friend's been improving by leaps and bounds in just the past 12 months, so every bit of advice goes heeded.

Yah it's a mixed crowd, steampunk is. But I'm doing three comic/anime conventions and only one actual steam-con, so majority rules.

Thanks for droppin' in; i know i've been a bit distant online... +-+

No problem... I've been literally distant from this site.
I've been doing a lot of non-art stuff lately (with the move to NYC!!)
So I haven't been on here much...

Yup! I started to overthink the ad kinda like how I overthink my storywriting. This version's MUCH more suitable for a comic/anime convention; even more than the Darn Tootin' flyer from last year I think. No offense to Rocky; her stuff is always eye-catching.

Ahaha. S'okay. Did you take a quick gander at Just The First Frame though~?

Well it's kinda hard to fit the overall feel of a comic in one page. But this one works really well!

Not specifically, but I think I've glanced at some of those here and there. On top of the five or six that my friends keep insisting I have to read. ._.

47ness In reply to Suki-kitty [2012-03-10 23:42:38 +0000 UTC]

and I had a discussion about just what to put on this side. We decided it was better to just collage everything, instead of finding one single comic page that had enough wit, charm and action crammed into it to wow ppl.

That's fine; was just asking you to glance anyway.

...............well,

I kinda threw the old one out. I was trying too hard to be clever and after listening to feedback I realized my half barely felt like an ad for a comic. ;

Oh yeah, and I improved the lighting on yours, which balances it out better, methinks. :>

I kinda just borrowed your concept. I think it really works to hook new readers...! (my other one is better suited to people who already know the work, yanno?)

Look at little Sally <333

And holycrap that robot mouse xD That'd send Joey running!

That's fine xD It means they match!



If you think the old version would be well received with older readers, why not use it as a page for "Next time in SSnPP.." Type of thing with teaser art?

Yes! MOAR ENERGY. Also, the "HE GLOWS" actually glows now. XD XD

Gotta remember people will be picking these up at a COMIC CONVENTION, so their attention span will be like

I'd love to work in "Next Time...!" features in future issues. Just a matter of having all the ideas figured out...! 8þ

Lmao eeeexcellent.

Sadly that is true xD The birmingham one was great, but some people came in, jumped from table to table taking leaflets and cards and then looked at them elsewhere. London's going to be insane o.o;

And this is very true xD

Bwahaha, I ordered 500 copies. Gonna be shoving them into peoples hands every chance I get for the next four conventions.

Ah yes; they're trying to maximize their time by rushing through the artist alley.
Every once in a blue moon I get someone who emails me back- days after the convention- saying they liked the comic ...and wishing that they had bought the books.

Sio64 In reply to 47ness [2012-03-09 15:39:26 +0000 UTC]

Sounds about right, ill do the same, should easily carry me through birmingham and mcm london.

Do you make the books available online after the shows? Might be a thought, i'm goign to try via DA and paypal. =3

if you do bring out the 200 page paperback ima jump on that bwahahaa!

Usually if the convention organizers are nice about it, they'll also have a table in the main lobby that everyone can leave ads at~

I have mailed at least one set out by request...! (I thought about putting it on Amazon or Etsy, but it means spending money on an ISBN # and bar code per issue) Either way, it's much better to say the books are exclusive con purchases, where you can form a personal connection with the buyer. :>

That might not be ready until May. But it's going to get done!

Huh. I already took it to print. But should I have used pure alliterations for my ad...??

I didn't even notice what I had done until you pointed it out now. ::was operating on very funky sleep cycles all last week:: (still am, actually...) XD;

JesnCin In reply to 47ness [2012-03-11 14:50:54 +0000 UTC]

HAHAHA XD I guess that means alliterations are embedded into your head subconsciously
You could save the alliterations for another time perhaps. Since "unreasonable cuteness" just sells it, haha XD

I like your ad, the problem is , for me, just the energy balance, I wouldn't junk your ad, I'd definitely save it for another time, but I'd get a moar bombastic ad this time around.

Yeah, I'll admit I was mostly inspired by Communication Arts magazine, which spotlights witty "sophisticated" ad concepts. Definitely not intended for a young, comic-reading audience. XD;
