Update + Convention Talk

My first booth experience

First of all, I want to thank the people who came to my booth buying my merchandise and came by to say hello! I really appreciated it and make it possible to keep doing this. I really wanted to make this journal way more sooner, but I guess I totally forgot about it like usual. I'll be attending next year again at FACTS, so i'll be making new prints and new merchandise, like stickers and magnets. I have to say I had underestimated the pressure and stress that came with it. The first day when I arrived early in the morning I started crying because I started to panic nobody would even look or buy anything from me. Luckily my dad was there for a little while, so I was able to pull through. However I did still felt the anxiety and stress during the whole convention, my legs where shaking and it was hard to make eye contact sometimes. I should have also slept more, because i was very tired and said stupid things to my costumers like for example: Somebody asked my for a Pinkie pie button and I said 'Aah you want Twinkie?' haha that was pretty embarrassing. But it was worth for the experience and the people I met. My neighbors where pretty nice as well, offering me food and giving me some courage. One of my friends stayed with me at my booth, which i'm very grateful for! I had a great time and I hope to see you guys next year! I also have been learning some HTML and CSS to make my own website and online store where I could sell my stuff for the people who can't come to the conventions or are interested in buying my stuff. I'm really excited to open my own shop, but it will take me a lot of time to make it. Commissions will be opened next week and I will be updating my social medias. I still need to add a lot artworks on Tumblr especially that i completely forgot about. I was going to make an artist valley vlog, but I don't made any footage sadly, so my next video is going to be some story times with a speedpaint. Last but not least, I'm planning on changing my usernames to something shorter and more personal. First I thought mixing my name and art together, making it: Lizart. But that username already existed so my second one was Lizarto, which already excited as well. So my final name i'm gonna pick is Lizartos, but not 100 procent sure yet. It is going to be weird not being called Yellowfeatherbolt, which I just didn't like anymore. Because YFB is not me, but my mascot and my original character and it felt a bit weird after a while being called as one of my characters. But it's still fine if you still associated me with that name. The name change however is going take a long time since it will be after the next convention. I hope you have a great day and thanks for reading!

Hey people

It’s Lay here and I’m in desperate need of your help. Remember that one phone that got stolen? Well, I tried to sell another phone to get the money back for it. Now today, the buyer who wanted to buy it from me, got to my place and robbed me. So, now turning out that I’m in desperate money needs.

Even though I have a fulltime job and a good salary, I can’t pay for all the things that will come this month.

I need to get 300 euros and I’m willing to work for it. So I’m now opening commisions, like making promos and icons (I don’t know a price for that so pay whatever you like…Everything is welcome.) Donations are of course welcome as well. 

My Paypal is blackandblue1994@gmail.com

Normally I don’t do this kinda thing but desperate times ask for this. Please share this if you want, it would be of great help to me..

Thank you very in advance.
