As Lordsathien already knows, I'm still dueling on the thought of going to FWA (it's a convention) this year, specially since I'll be at my first week of my Spring Quarter class (second to last quarter for me by the way, but that's another subject). Other than financial issues, there's the issue that these types of convention drain me in a bad way.
Anyway, I believe this time would be completely different if I approach it as a business point of view only, which makes sense, considering I care little to none of the events that go in there, hence the emotional drain that I get from these (I always have a good time in anime conventions because I DO find things that I like). However, other than offering commissions, sketches and badges, I want to see if I can toss in mini comics and thematical mini sketchbooks for sale here.
Now here's the part where I need help.
At this point I would like to survey what kind of things would be interesting to see, for comics and themes that is. The catch is that I don't want to make stuff just for a particular fandom (that is, what I would sell in FWA I would also sell it on meets such as
Fluke). While pandering to the fandom is an easy way to make a quick buck, it can be damaging in the long run as it becomes a creative crutch. While I do have some ideas of my own, suggestions will be appreciated.
As for the financial bit, I think I can cover it by finishing pending commissions.
Until then I appreciate any thoughts.
