I bet I got every brony's attention with that title... so I will make the TL:DR right here: " I made this post to get the input of the brony community on my business and maybe support for the kickstart to get it running. Its for the Artists promotion service at brony conventions for 2013 " Ok the long version, My company Drakeal network LLC, which I have made a few posts on these forums about it was made when I asked for help... In which I did. I got about 1,795 USD out of the 2,025 USD donated on indiegogo to help me out get stable. Now since I am now stable and have a minor jobs I do to pay for bills and such I occur... getting to 14+ conventions is not cheap... bare minimum is about 12,500... but with that I can do so much more with the business and getting everything else setup! Also I need input by fellow bronies to make sure I get everything handled. I manage everything myself at the moment and if I could grow and get stuff together that be great! So any input would be nice

@@Danger Wasp, Big Apple Ponycon (Date: 03/23/13), on http://drakeal.com/index.php/conventions-attending-status that I list setup on my site for the company... still need to get the billing system done and stuff. http://igg.me/p/315073/x/1643925 I placed a fundraiser up for my company to see if its possible to reduce the costs on artists and ensure that attendance will happen.

Drakeal Network LLC. is a company I established in the state of Oregon to help artists that can't attend or afford to be a dealer at a conventions. I made this company as I was motivated by many that told me it was a good idea and I should do it. Ultimately its a cheaper alternative for artists can can't attend many conventions because lack of money, family obligations or work. If you can attend yourself its always better to talk to the artist themselves if they can get. We help fill Commissions and sell some forms of fan work at conventions that clients want us to sell. We don't sell prints though. For the commissions we have our clients design a page, terms of service, prices for commissions and such... if they can have Drakeal Network LLC receive their payments on their behalf or not (and clearly stated on their pages they make if Drakeal Network can or can not accept payments of their behalf) as well a max commission limit per convention to ensure no overwork for an artist. As additional measures we will try and deploy a stream for artists and others to see and hear what is happening, and be able to answer questions that possible commissioners might ask.

I think one has poped up... bigapple con I believe... I will be adding it to the list of conventions I want the company to attend. I will looking into it more
