This is the 1st year that we join Comic Fiesta with our team name--------DARUMA!!!!IT WAS REALLY FUN!!!!! XDXD
FIRSTLY, I'm REALLY APPRECIATE THE LOVE FROM WHOEVER BOUGHT OUR GIFT prologue ARTBOOK!!!!IT'S BECAUSE OF UR SUPPORT, WE ARE ABLE TO PRODUCE MORE AWESOME ARTS(although i'm not that awesome yet (T _ T) )!!!!! AND THANKS FOR ALL DA ARTIST THAT WATCHING ME~~~~~I THINK UR SUPPORTS ARE THE SOURCE OF MY DETERMINATION TO ACHIEVE BETTER ARTS!!!!
Franly speaking, i never DREAMT that our artbook can sell that good(at least WE think it's selling good XD)We actually set the price at the price which is reasonable to students.....Back in college, i actually have not enough money to buy illustration books of some GREAT artist....those artbooks cost like RM110++....i really need to save up a lot in order to get to that much of money..... T-T i hope u guys really think that GIFT is worth for it's price....As for those who think it's expensive, I think what all we can do is improving out arts' quality then......
and because of the bad planning,we actually FORGOT TO WRITE DOWN OUR CONCEPT IN THE BOOK!!!!THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF WE DIDN'T WRITE IT DOWN THEN IT'LL BE WEIRD WHEN WE SELL IT AFTER CHRISTMAS~~~~ T_T so....i decided to tell u guys bout it so that u guys wont feel weird when see it in the bookstore during chinese new year or other festive season.......
Our Concept:
WE ACTUALLY WANTED TO NAME THE ARTBOOK AS <<GIFT>> BECAUSE WE WANTED TO PRESENT OUR BEST ARTS TOGETHER WITH OTHER NATION ARTISTS AS A BEST "GIFT" TO ANYONE, IN ANYWHERE OR ANY SEASON. WE ACTUALLY CHOSEN CHRISTMAS IS BECAUSE OF OUR TEAM LEADER,
NICK NAME, SO IT'S LIKE "THE BEST GIFT BROUGHT TO YOU BY SANTACLAUS!!"
Somehow WE DECIDE TO MAKE A NEW BOOK EVERY YEAR DURING CF because it's near christmas, so that it really fit our title......Of course, we really need to see the feed back, if it's really great, the second book will CONFIRM brought to u by us again in a better form!!Whst i really feel sorry bout is GIFT is not that organized...we actually made it 2 covers in order to let readers can read whichever side they want....but somehow it is really confusing when coming to the centre.....
Looking back from the 1st planning to selling the book in CF, it was really like a dream.....I WOULD LIKE TO THANKS ALL THE GUEST ARTIST THAT WILLING TO SENT THEIR AWESOME WORKS TO GET PUBLISHED IN OUR BOOK, AND A SPECIAL BACK SCENE DESIGNER, LESMANA PUTRA, WHO HELPED US DID THE BASE LAYOUT IN A VERY TIGHT DEADLINE(ya, it's because of the lack of experience OF planning...SORRY LES!!)We actually rush out alot of things because we play the role of almost every parts, which are from artist to editor and even marketing(:iconsantaclausfkc:)(i think all the exhibitors do the same, but this is just our very 1st experience, so i just wanna mention it......
) Anyway, WE ARE REALLY HAPPY WITH THE OUTCOME!!!!!!AS WELL AS THE SELLING RESULT(in comic fiesta)!!But, The thing that making me feel happy bout is the environment in CF.....the crowds are really nice!!and the cosplay event, WOW!!!! XD (hmmm.......might consider bout becoming a cosplayer next year, LOL)
We actually have 1 complain bout CF, is that the booth rental.....i'm not talking bout the price but it's about the free entry ticket....we actually rented 2 booth, and it has 4 seats there....supposingly they should have given 2 extra tickets for the other 2 helpers(means 2 exhibitors who registered + 2 helpers = 4 seats) but they just gave us 2 tickets(wrist band)for the exhibitors ONLY.....We have to buy 2 more for our helpers!!! T-T They have incresed the booth rental and now they still wan us to buy more tickets for helpers??I FEEL LIKE KINDA GET SQUEEEEEEEEEEZED BY THEM.....Like what I've mentioned in the beginning, THIS IS OUR FIRST TIME RENTING THE BOOTH, so i don really know bout the rules, just that really feel kinda screwed......I mean, y don they just include all the tickets fee and whatever in the booth rental?I JUST WANNA MAKE THINGS CLEARED THAT I'M REALLY SATISFY WITH THE BOOTH, THE HALLS AND EVERYTHING.....JUST THAT THAT TICKET THINGY MADE ME FEEL LIKE THEY ARE TRYING TO EARN MORE MONEY FORM US, WHICH IS NOT PLEASING........I HOPE THEY REALLY CONSIDER BOUT IT.....
OK, enough for the nag, I wanna make a conclusion now........ CF IS AWESOMEx10000000000!!!! XD heheheh~~~~~~~WE WILL BE BACK!!!!
NEXT STATION: GACC
see u guys there!!!!!
