Is my art good enough for a con booth?

[Mareinthemoon 348]

for thoose who do not know me i am a comissioner here on the forums and after a wave of comissions..somewhere around the 20+ mark i began wondering if my art was good enough to sell at a con booth?

I honestly think your drawings are amazing and good enough to sell. I hope people buy your drawings. My favorite one is the last one with Princess Luna.

[WingMcCallister 368]

I think I can sum this up in two words for you, Mare. Bucking duh!

 

Your stuff is amazing... booth away!

[Mareinthemoon 348]

now to figure out a con to do this at, its probably going to be late this year or early next year. I wouldent try for an anime con sue to several issues I think a pony con would work

[Wonderbolt_Spitfire 235]

I think your artwork looks great! Are you going to be selling your artwork there? Because I believe it's too late to register to become a vendor. Which would be a shame because these pieces you have shown look really well done. The good thing though is that if you aren't selling your artwork this year then you will have all that time till next year's BronyCon to make your work that much better and sell your artwork then.

 Heck yes it's good enough to be a booth! I bet you'll get alot of money, because your drawings are some of the best I've seen! Keep up the great work! /)

That's good. Saving up is always the best idea because if you get a booth that doesn't mean people are going to want to buy it. I myself go to Conventions and try my best not to spend any money because I would rather enjoy the atmosphere and events and I'm willing to bet there are plenty of others like that. Although I would probably break my rule for your artwork though haha.

  (/  thanks for the compliment  im always seccond guessing myself about theese things, the artists double edge sword

I'm going to go against the tide. Your art is great, better than mine no doubt about it, but what I'm worried about is the competition you'll be facing at the convention. I'm not sure about numbers, but there will easily be 30+ artist booths doing the same thing that you're trying to do, make some dosh in any way that they can. There's also a good possibility that these artists also have a fierce following. 

 

This situation is a risk/reward scenario. You have the possibility of losing more money than making, but on the other hand not only do you have the possibility of making a load of dosh but most importantly you get your name out to convention goers. By getting yourself known, that itself will generate potential customers. You're well known here, but what about on the net? In comparison to the commissions you've done here, how many have you done on DA? If you're not getting as many, or more, commissions/print sales on DA than what you get here it may be wise to wait until you gain a following of sorts. 

 

Again, you're a great artist, but the part you need to be worrying is not if your stuff is worthy of a convention. What you need to be thinking about is how you'll fare against the competition.

Now before you hate me on voting no, hear me out.
I would love to personally buy your work for sure, but it's the fact that at conventions, you can be expect there to be many people trying to do exactly the same thing.  And most of those people don't ask IF it's good enough, they have experience selling prints already under there belt.  
If you are up to facing people who are used to doing such a thing, then go for it! But I think you may want to look into the whole thing a little more before you dive straight in.

Either way, your art is fantastic! Don't even doubt yourself.

 I understand the valid point here XD thankfully ill be getting more known in the year with several of my projects reaching completion and the charity auctions my comissions are in for everfree nowrth west will get me at least some following. I know better than to dive right in without a following ;3 I dont hate any no's I was wondering about art quality not the competition.

 

 

always make sure to be known with a wide audience before diving into booth art. one trailer for a film im doing is premiring at bronycon ;D and then a few of my comission animations and pmv's will be ready by the end of summer/beginning of fall

[bcd34a 51]

This is some pretty good art you made!

I think I need to give you the best brohoof ever!

 

If you plan to sell these im pretty sre bids will be at least $80!!

That's good. Saving up is always the best idea because if you get a booth that doesn't mean ponies are going to want to buy it. I myself go to Conventions and try my best not to spend any bits because I would rather enjoy the atmosphere and events and I'm willing to bet there are plenty of others like that. Although I would probably break my rule for your artwork though haha.

yeah, i would too, if 1) i could actually go to a con, and 2) no one in my family/ring of friends would critisize me for it. i might be able to get a few friends, and 1 brother, but that would be all i can do. oh, if only bronies werent so hated by the outside world so much.

[Zygen 6,066]

I think if you already do commissions readily enough then I think you can sell at a con, it's somewhat the same thing I imagine.

 

I personally think your art is really good so I'd say so, but I may not be the most amazing judge so idk, I've not yet been to a con anyways.

[Sapphire Quill 1,186]

From all the Impressive Artwork I've received from you, I would say 100% yes.

I'm Actually looking to buy another one in the next week. be ready.

But the Answer is a Straight up Yes, you shouldn't have Doubts about it.

[Dopey Hooves 90]

 I was blown away. Hell yeah it's good enough for a con booth. Probably not good but, amazing. I see no mistakes in any of these drawings. I like how you shaded your ponies as well as the background.

[Gay Bird 421]

I'd buy one of your drawings. I think it would definitely be worth getting a con booth. This art looks really beautiful. I'd gladly pay 20 dollars.
