I MADE IT IN TO COMIKET AGAIN.

Been working pretty hard @ both work and doujin stuff, I went back home to America for a few weeks and came back Last Friday. I'm happy to say I have completed and have the copies of my new Artbook in my hands ready for Comiket:

Comiket 78 Report (Belated, yes)

Well, again belated, but I should post it for goodness sake.

Comic Market 78, the first Comiket I applied to as a circle and didn't make it in. Might have been a good thing though, I managed to go with bunch of awesome dudes and even got to try out lining up from midnight (that's NO NO kids, you don't line up all night!! *wink*wink*) Anyways, here we go:

Our team assembled at Rinsabers hotel, got a nice view of Ariake from the Daiba Hotel.

Applied for Comiket 78

Whew, With a little less than two weeks in advanced I sent my application for Summer Comiket 78 This morning. This is my circle cut you'll see if I make it-

Well Doujin and suff are good and all,

I've still been working on commissions and freelance jobs.

I'm still looking for ways to break into the industry, I found a

Seminar that'll be going on by rakujob.com

They're a company/group that specializes in helping people get into creative jobs.

That'll be held on the 31st, all day I'll be going and seeing if I get some good information out of it (the entrance fee is 50 bucks, but they say if you dont benefit from it you can get a full refund, though I know it'll be beneficial for me.)

Well thats what I have coming up, Comiket results come in on April so I can forget about until then (that gives me four months to prepare something if I make it in again)

thats all for now, cya!

C77 Day 1 Report

This entry will consist of-
Commercial Booth  photos
Cosplay
Stuff I bought this day.

I took a ton of Itasha pictures so that`ll be in another entry.

lets start!

Tokyo Day 2

Well, I actually arrived here a day earlier than expected, giving me two extra days to prepare for comiket (I thought it would be zero, first because I thought I`d be here on the 27th, second because I thought for some odd reason that comiket starts on the 28th....its from the 29-31st)

Well today I went out to buy some stuff to use at comiket at the 100 Yen Shop (dollar store)

bout a 5-10 minute walk there.

Hellooo Again Tokyo! And Comiket Stuff Preview!

Hey everybody!

Pixiv app on iTouch/iPhone

Pixiv released a cool iPhone app for it's site! There's a free one to use pixiv and one called PivixL (short for Pixiv life, has some additional fun features. I didn't get it though).

Anyways it's pretty cool you can use it immediately and without having to log in. You can log in of course and view your illustrations, favorites, watchers, friends and such. It's easy to browse through new postings and daily rankings and such with thumbnail viewing. Overall it seems like a pretty cool app for those that use pixiv.

DECEMBER 30th, WEDNESDAY

At the "テ" BLOCK TABLE 33A




...Well after all the insane hassle of sending in the application (Equally hard as filling out tax returns and college financial applications) Then Waiting two months, and then finding out nothing was delivered (both the confirmation card nor the results package) and then using my brain to guess my confirmation number (where we rejoiced because I found out I actually made it, at the same time being super pissed because there was no excuse for the not to have sent anything if I was ACCEPTED), and then battling with the post offices (took me couple days ) to send the "undelivered/Resend mail application" to Japan (which cost me some via express mail)....


ALL MY EFFORTS ARE PAID OFF when I got one phone call this morning telling me I finally got those golden tickets to Comiket delivered to us.


...whew.
I can die in peace now...

....
...
AS IF.

SO YEAH. COMIKET 77 CIRCLE ATTENDANCE: FINAL NOW.

NOW I gotta work my butt off to get my books done! lolololol


I gotta also talk with the couple of you that might come with us this time.
This'll be the first time I go to comiket with other people so, it'll be something.

ZOMG COMIKET- I MADE IT IN!!!!!!!!!!

O_O

please tell me I'm not dreaming.

So one final attempt to find out if I made it or not-
I used the Comiket's "Circle registration information and information retrieval systems"
at circle.ms





...wait, I couldn't have, since I never got that darn postcard in the mail that has my confirmation number on it.

The form required four things as a password-
the confirmation number, the registered phone number, my birthday, and my registration number. The other three I had. So what'd I do?

I GUESSED. EVERY painful number between 1000-6000 (actually I figured out it was only up to 1619- or around so by using the "that is an invalid confirmation code" message and "you've entered the wrong information for your confirmation code" message.)
I learned somewhere that the first three digits were the genre code I choose.
.
.
.
.
yeah I know. but i had a RIGHT to do it. and it was WORTH EVERY MINUTE.
now I need to make sure to get that packet of WIN delivered to me NO MATTER WHAT.

anyways- here's the proof-

therefore I WILL (do what ever it takes to) BE AT COMIC MARKET 77


DECEMBER 30th, WEDNESDAY


At the "テ" BLOCK TABLE 33A


Featuring Touhou and Original works :D :D :D

(man what a 360 that situation made)

I would be crying right now if my body weren't in such a disbelief mode.

New Fall Blog Design + Winter Comiket Pending Results

Redesigned the Blog! How's it look? :D

Comiket Results are pouring in as I wait by the side unable to check my application status. The news is- All applicants were to have received (or so I'm thought to believe) a postcard with a application confirmation number. Using that number we are able to go to the Circle.ms website and use the Comic Market 77's "Circle registration information and information retrieval systems" (コミックマーケット77の「サークル情報登録＆当落情報検索システム) and find out the results of our application.

called up my relatives (I used their addy cause I'm not in Japan right now)- said they never got that postcard with number.


...well that screws me up.
I tried everything but looks like it's no use. There is a way to ask for it by sending some lost/unarrived form to the comiket staff but, I found out that it's only a week away from them sending the real packets (Before the confirmation number postcard and online checking existed, people submitted their applications and waited for this "result package" containing either an acceptance form with tickets to participating in comiket OR a "sry you didn't make it" note, which they still do).

So, guess I need to wait a week for the result packets to find out ANYTHING. The worst that can happen is- that packet ALSO doesnt get delivered. :( I sure hope not. Anyways awaiting any news from Japan regarding my Comiket 77 application.

ARRGH.

Well while I wait I must try to get some work done on the books I have planned for that event anyways.
