Attempting To Paint A Gigantic Piece Of Art
For the card situation, I may be mistaken, but you can have access to your new card even if you don't have the physical, right? By setting it up in your phone wallet as apple pay. I remember that being an option when logging into by bank account. To prevent situations like the one you went through. Regardless, I am glad things were able to work out!
Yeah I tried but they didn’t allow me to add it without verifying I got the physical card 🥲 I still haven’t received that card yet I sent an email to them asking about it
@@RubysArtsyLife That's unfortunate! The week really has been rough! I hope everything sorts itself out soon. You got this! <3
Omg thank you 😲
I’m glad everything worked out for you!!! Despite the craziness with the flights
Thank you
MINE TOO!! I had a 6am Thursday flight with American Airlines that got delayed due to weather to 6pm and then the weather kept delaying but even after it cleared up we still didn't have a plane or any word when one would come? My flight was so delayed that it missed the initial time for my connecting flight and then found out my connecting flight was getting delayed too! It was supposed to leave for Columbus at 10pm and ended up getting bumped further and further back to 5:30am FRIDAY!! and then got cancelled. I never even left my home airport and had to call family to come and pick me up and take me home. I had to call up the Galaxycon exhibitor director, my hotel, everybody! People were rebooking so fast that night that there were no flights that'd get me to Columbus by the 12pm Friday cut off for artist load in so I had to just go home and call the weekend a bust. Major thank you to the Galaxycon exhibitor director though! I texted him and showed him my cancellations and the news about EVERY airline being grounded and he moved my artist alley table up to Animate Columbus 2025. I ended up having major FOMO all weekend sitting at home and I still haven't unpacked my suitcases. The way I died inside a little when I saw you had ended up in Charlotte, NC though! That's where my connecting flight was that got cancelled because I'm from NC! I am SO sorry for all the ridiculousness you had to go through just to get home.
Oh my gosh! You wouldn't believe american airline isn't going to help me either! They only offered $29 dollars worth of miles.... But Im so sorry you missed the show and you are right the director was super understanding and he personally took me to my table saturday morning so props to him handling the chaos of that weekend so well! Hopefully i will be able to see you and attend next year. Im trying to decide if i wanna rebook as i did not get a good investment in return.
@@RubysArtsyLife I really think the flights, hotels, and card machines being down just messed everybody up from vendors to attendees and I'm hoping it'll be better next year. That's awful of American Airlines though. With all that headache you're owed a lot more than that!
いいね👍️日本🇯🇵から
What a nightmare travel experience I would have had a panic attack if I missed an entire day, you're so strong for powering through that weekend 😭 I'm glad you sold more at this con though!
Yeah I was freaking out but the director was understanding
Out of all the airlines, American is the #1 airline I personally hear the phrase "I'm NEVER flying ______ again!" Excellent job keeping a level head and positive attitude through all that crap! Also, I love your enthusiasm about the Chinese food hahaa I felt that. Are you doing Anime Impulse in Arizona? I bet your One Piece stuff would do well!
Sadly I never made it off the waitlist! But thank you I try to stay calm because getting upset really never helps
@RubysArtsyLife have you thought about checking Amtrak? I know many younger generations don't consider the train, but if all the variables work for you, it can be a very pleasant way to travel...actually... don't tell too many people about it. 😂 😂 Takes longer, but if you are considering driving places...check the train too, if you are open to it. Wishing you all the best and much success sweetheart. No disrespect with the sweetheart, just becoming and older woman habit.
THATS SUCH A GREAT IDEA!! I never thought to take the train but I’d be more than open to it! I will look into for my next show thank you so much I’ll be sure to stay quiet on it 🤫
@@RubysArtsyLife 👍 p.s. .... let me give my mom credit for that idea while I am at it.... I can't pass it on like it is mine, my mom has been reminding me for years, so passing it on.🤗
I live in Chicago and last year I realized the glory of taking Amtrak for Wisconsin and St. Louis cons It’s brilliant, I love it!
@@mizushimma 💪🏽👍🏾 nice!
@mizushimma yeah it was 171 for getting to San Jose galaxy con so I think I’m going to take the train. I think it’s going to be a very fun trip!
Animate in my opinion wasnt worth the table price I attended last year and the table was said to be $400
I paid $294 for my inline table, if you are local I guess it isn’t that bad but still really steep for how little I made. The crowd at galaxy con just doesn’t seem to be that great across the board from what I’ve experienced
@@RubysArtsyLife I agree! have you attempted to apply to Matsuri con? i feel you would have done better at that show
@CoreYZX I never heard of that one I will have to look into it!
Hihi !!! No matter profit or not the experience you gwt is always worthwhile ✨ btw, do you have a link to the yellow panels you used for your table? I can't find yellow anything anywhere :((
They are on Amazon they are the songmic brand they have their own website as they are often out of stock on amazon Also thank you! But in the real world I can’t go to every show and be in the negative. I have to find shows that I can at least make back expense. Sadly bills need to be paid at minimum.
Thanks!
💚💚💚👍🏾💚💚💚 Great advice
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful
This is very helpful! Thank you! ♥ I'm currently trying to get started on creating items to sell at shows and it's been a little daunting thiknig about all the necesities and how many things to sell...trying to narrow down to keep it simple at first. Defintiely recommend the bullet journal! :)
really thats so exciting! my first show I just had a few prints and a couple stickers so starting small is the best! Even reusing or revamping old art you already made currently is a good option if you have any! i have been slowly building on what i have as i get more experience! This weekend im trying my hand at fanart for the first time
I really needed to hear all this, thank you so much for sharing. I am going through a lot of the same stuff right now. Juggling a job and school and starting this has been a hurdle. But these tips will help me a lot. Thank you again!!
I’m genuinely glad it resonated with you!! It has been so hard and people make it seem easy and it’s not, but the temporary sacrifice will hopefully pay off in the long run!! Please take care of yourself and take it slow and steady
Love your personality keep making content love. It’s inspiring ❤
Thank you! I have a new video coming soon!
oooo that design is too cute ruby..!!!!!
Thank you!!!
It looks like FUN! That’s what it looks like!
thank you!! its super fun and will be launching with a ton of other stationary products in august
I mean if you sold mouse pads 👁👁❤️
i may have one in production right now 😏
I imagine part of it is that it was that it was a first year con, but also the galaxy con charges a lot for Oklahoma. I don't run any tables but I do consider it for every con. I think most tables out here in Oklahoma run from $20-$200 and 200 is for prime spots. So hopefully galaxycon will change table prices for Oklahoma
Yeah I agree 407 is pretty steep for a first year con. My brother did summer con in Puyallup wa and it was like 300 for a corner vendor spot.
Wow, underrated much??
Awww thank you!!!
@@RubysArtsyLife just the facts!!
Very nice!from japan
Thank you!!! It’s amazing that someone from across the world saw this video
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!
Thank you 😊
That is so cute!
Thank you!!!
kind of i mean most mouse pads have print on them so yeah.
Yeah that is true but we can all agree mousepads don’t feel like paper. Because they always pick it up before asking
@@RubysArtsyLife that is true they don't feel like paper. its odd some one would think it was still one if it felt like paper lol.
oh
Dish soap I’m guessing
No I use something stronger
Those are pretty cool
Its really great that you are showing the small business side of it of starting off new. A lot of people have the higher expectations of pulling in thousands but they are established already. I wasn't able to get into san japan. But I do hope it goes well for you. Artist Alley Network is where you can get tips on how to improve your set up. I do agree with only doing fanart that you love to do rather then going what is popular. Because that burns you out so quick. Doing niche stuff you love also brings in customers because you might get customers that also follow your interest. And become your core audience.
Thank you! Is artist alley network a discord?
okay so joy is not your thing got it
?
@@RubysArtsyLife misleading clickbait video and still keeping it up in the comments really distasteful so yeah far away from the joy bob ross gives <33
@eljja327 @eljja327 clickbait would mean I lied and this video is not about Bob Ross “copying” another artist. It’s clear you didn’t read much of the comments nor did you watch much of the video. I love Bob Ross and I think he was an amazing painter I even own his paint set with his tutorial. But as an artist, I stand behind this video and this title. If you actually look into Bill Alexander and watch the video you’d see there is a lot of joy in the creation of this video.
@@RubysArtsyLifelearning from someone and giving them credit yeah what a copycat and not gonna even bother anyone can see your contribution in the comments and here is a second video idea for you, bob ross and early use of ai in his paintings ✍🏻✍🏻
You need to learn to pronounce, "protoge".
I didn’t realize I was saying “Protégé” incorrectly. I also learned it’s a French word! Thank you 😊
Fellow west coast convention artist (and also a cameo user...) The cameo 4 randomly likes to stop cutting all the way through. Mine did the same thing, and it's a known problem among users. It happened when I tried an aftermarket cutting mat, but nobody can figure out the actual cause for the most part lmao. I managed to get it working for diecut again with the autoblade when I swapped back to the silhouette mats with the following settings: Depth 10, Force 11, Passes 7, Speed 2. I also tried the 2mm premium blade, and the cb09 blade, but I found the autoblade + silhouette mat with those settings the least headache ;-;
and also! Your display is SO cute wahhh. Like, for your first anime con, it's SO good. I've been doing this for half a decade, and your display is way better then what I have even now >.<
No don’t worry!! I’m sure your display looks amazing!
And THANK YOUUUUU I WILL TRY THAT BECAUSE HAND CUTTING IS KILLING ME!
Everyone - Nice idea ❤ Me - Seeing tanjiro 's earings 😂
Don't know why this doesn't have more likes. I'm going to send this to every artist friend I have
You are a real one!! It’s such a game changer and a money saver!
Love it, definitely gonna get something from your store for my girlfriend!
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing!
No problem!! It was such a game changer when I thought of it. When I was looking at custom packaging it was priced around $1000+ with a ridiculously high MOQ and that’s too expensive for a small business owner! Perfect hack
Ooooo I was so excited to see a Glaxycon OKC vlog. I live in OK and I was thinking of attending but then I needed to go out of town to see family. I'm sorry you didn't profit. However when you said you didn't have fanart that makes total sense. I do artist alley and the first year I thought I would do okay just promoting my original indy comic and prints from my comic. Bad idea. I bombed. So many people will not buy anything if they are not already a fan. So this year I have a ton of fanart made. I'm not as excited about making fanart as I am my original characters but it's my only hope of making table and hotel back sadly. I hope your next convention is amazing! Good luck!
Yeah! I have tons of fanart stuff in the works for my next 2 conventions
Didn't US was the one that really got affected by anti-vax propaganda and all sorts of other shit during 2020? Maybe idiots at pentagon should worry about their own first before spreading lies on the internet.
Wow my respect for US government agencies like pentagon just keep going down the gutter. Its in hell right now.
That’s awesome you got into San Japan! I will also be vending there 😅 (not panicking at all) GalaxyCon OKC was also a first year con. Even though I’m local, I passed on that one. Have you joined the Artist Alley Network? I heard about it in one of Mualcaina’s videos and it’s been very helpful community for learning about cons, displays, etc. Also, if you haven’t seen her videos yet, Lindsay at Single Sploot is in Washington and is 100% original art, she has a lot of event/convention vlogs Best of luck with your shop and art goals!
Yes I have watched both of them! Also don’t worry I’m freaking out too! I was shocked the lottery gods picked me. And no I’m not in the artist alley network how do I do that?
Just recently started following your journey and wow are you an inspiration! The One Piece fanart look cute, too. Hope everything turns out for the best !
Thank you so much for the support!
Sorry to hear the con was so bad for everyone. :( Nha, don't get involved with HH. The creator is superproblematic.
Who is HH?
@@RubysArtsyLife Hazbin Hotel
Ahhh okay noted will steer clear
I just think that you and your neighbor having yellow set ups was so cute! But that's really disappointing that the con was such a bust---HERE'S THE THE NEXT CON BEING A HIT!
Yes!!! Next con is Animate in Columbus July 19th! We will be able to see in real time how having fanart effects sales and success of a con!
Just as a warning, I've consistently heard Galaxycons are usually not great saleswise for most artists bc it's more focused on celebrity guests. I've been warned against it.
Thank you for the heads up! And it makes sense from how the cons are. They had constant announcements for the celebrity guests.
@RubysArtsyLife Yeah, from my one experience at one and hearing from friends: basically if you don't have primarily fanart of whatever is popular that season (anime, comics, whatever), sales aren't great. Part of the reason is also that Galaxy con isn't really a "anime con" or "comic con", it's a general geek con which makes it hard to know your audience.
@MsMvsc wow thank you for that info, does the same go for animate which is also ran by galaxy con?
@@RubysArtsyLife Sorry, I should've specified. But yes, unforunately. I went to Animate! Raleigh this year, and only the established artists w/ popular series (JJK, Demon Slayer, etc) made money. It was very dead. I will say it was the first year, but Galaxy con and Animate are run by the same company and have the same issues :(
@MsMvsc well all I can do is pray I at least make back table
🎉🎉🎉 Amazing Video!
Thank you!
Hi :] I've watched a decent amount of your videos now and I appreciate how real you are when talking about the trials and tribulations of starting your own business. I'm interested in potentially doing the kind of thing you do currently and I'm trying to get more eyes on my art. I'm in the very beginning of my online art journey so seeing content like yours and knowing that you're also just beginning and learning is very comforting. I sincerely wish you the best and I'll be excited to see how things develop for you. Keep trying your best !
Wow thank you! I was struggling so much and felt really bad about where I am starting but I think it’s important to show the rough beginnings of a business and not just show the end where everyone is already doing amazing. I also really hope you do start because it’s amazing and nothing is as satisfying as doing what you love!
HAVE THE SAME PALLETE!
I'll be at animate columbus! Hope to see you there
Yay! Will you be vending or just attending?
@RubysArtsyLife just attending but I do have a few booths lines up for other events
@pineappleboy1468 that is exciting! Will they be your first? Or are you a seasoned artist alley vendor?
@@RubysArtsyLife they'll be my first
@RubysArtsyLife how many cons have you done so far if you don't mind me asking 👀
They are so cute!!
Thank you!!!
Your designs are so cute. I am here for all of them ❤️❤️❤️
Omg! Thank you!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I LOVE IT ALL
Thank you!!!
