Any and all pins/magnets that we've made in the past will be available. For pictures of every pin in our current inventory, you can check out my photobucket account. We currently have 430 characters from 100 different series.
- Convention Pricing -
Bulk Pins - $4 per pin or 3 for $10
Difficult Pins - $7
Emotion Bubbles - $0.25 per bubble
Commissions - $5-$7 (depending on difficulty)
As I've mentioned, things will be slightly different this year, but it's to your benefit! This will be the first convention where all the pins displayed will be able to be bought right then and there rather than ordering one and coming back to pick it up later - roughly 160 characters. Any character displayed in our photo album only can be purchased as a commission. Emotion Bubbles can be added to any pin on the spot.
We will also have a Bargain Bin containing $1 pins. These are mostly pins we've had a while and are simply looking to clear out, but occasionally one will get thrown in there for other reasons.
- Commission Details -
Most commissions are $5, with very few winding up in the $7 category.
Original characters and self-portraits are accepted as well as known characters we simply don't yet have. Please be ready to provide a reference picture should we need it.
If you're interested in commissioning something, doing so before the con not only helps me out, but depending on how many and which ones you'd want (generally 5 or more), there are special discounts available. We also limit people to 3 commissioned pins at a time at the convention so we have time to get to everyone's - we don't have a limit for orders made beforehand. So if you're interested, just drop me a Note or email (alex_gwydion@yahoo.com), and we can talk from there.
- Character Suggestions -
At this point in time, I have 26 new characters already in the plan for ACen, so unless you commission a character specifically, I will probably not have time to add new suggestions to my list. However, if enough people request it, I can always rearrange my pin making schedule. So while I am always open to more suggestions, just know the chances of it showing up at ACen are slim.
Here are some of the series I plan to have new pins from come ACen 2012:
Blue Exorcist
Chrono Trigger
Evangelion
Portal
Madoka Magica
Mario
I'm so excited to be back at Anime Central! ^_^ Stop by and say hi if you see me!
EDIT:








I've been thinking about getting my first Artist Alley table at a con next year, I can't imagine doing more than one con a year, though. I admire your talent and work ethic. >.<;
It is so much fun, though! It can be hectic and frustrating at times, but I've never had a better time at a con than any of the times I've done the AA. I'd definitely encourage you to give it a try!
and good luck! wish i were going but I'm alllllll the way in ma!
Thanks! ^_^ I haven't been to a con in about a year and a half, so I'm really excited!
