Artist Alley Portfolio

What do you need in your portfolio?

(Listen up! This is VERY important if you want to increase your chances of getting into the Artist Alley!)

Your portfolio should show exactly the type of art and products you will be selling. It should show clear pictures of your products and/or artwork. It can also include pictures of your table setup at cons. We have more applicants than we have space for, so be sure to include photos of your best work!

We suggest against including unfinished artwork or inktober drawings. If you are not going to sell the art, please do not include it in your portfolio.

You can link us to a portfolio on any if the following:

⋆ Tumblr

Send us a link to a Tumblr that is only a portfolio, and not a personal Tumblr. Be sure that all of your pictures fully load in their entirety no matter what your theme is.

⋆ DeviantArt

Link us to a folder that is dedicated to your convention portfolio. We will not be selecting any other folders on your account, nor will we be selecting 'See All'. The folder you link us to should include everything you want us to see.

⋆ A Personal Website

All of your pictures should load in their entirety on the page you link us to. Any navigation required should be minimal and straightforward.

⋆ Etsy / Online Shop

Link us to your page that shows us what you will be selling, not just your profile. All pictures should accurately show your products in their entirety.

⋆ Facebook Page

Link us to a photo folder for your convention portfolio, not just your page in general. Be sure it is not a link to a personal Facebook.

That should be everything! If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us at [email protected]! Good luck!

Season 12 Design Contest

Kami-Con Season 12 DESIGN CONTEST! - $250 Total Cash Prize! (*NOTE: Please read all information before submitting!) === Attention all Artists! It's that time again! Shio and Kosho have resolved all major plot points! Now that everything is going well, Anime law dictates that traveling spaceship must crash land on Planet Beach Episode. Have fun in the sun (in January/February) with our Shipwrecked Congirl Admirals. === HOW IT WORKS With a new year comes NEW OUTFITS! That's where YOU come in! Winning designs will be used for official Shio and Kosho artwork for Kami-Con Season 12, and also be made into FULL-FLEDGED COSPLAYS to be worn by our congirls during the skits and at the con! Oh, and of course you can win that SWEET CASH PRIZE! $$$ === SOME GUIDELINES -NO SWIMSUITS. Our congirls are not here for fun in the sun. This is island survival gear. - Shio's color scheme is typically red/pink, white, and yellow. - Kosho's color scheme is typically purple, black, and blue. - While the design does not need to prominently display a star or moon, Shio needs to have some sort of star adornment in her hair, and Kosho must have some sort of crescent moon adornment in her hair. - Outfit designs must be family friendly to PG-13. Nothing too revealing! - Remember not to use any copyrighted logos, but lookalikes and homages are perfectly fine! - Designs must be cosplayable! If they're too hard to build, they may not make it through the voting process! - We request no form-fitting bodysuits. This adds a number of complications for our selection process, so it's a no-go! :) === ALSO - We are awarding two $100 prizes, one for each congirl. You can submit just Shio, just Kosho, or both together! We also have a $50 price for Shoyu’s (The Turtle) outfit design. - You may submit as many designs as you like. - You can submit anything from a scribbled sketch to a fully colored design. Everything will be judged! === ART REFERENCES For art references, scroll through our Story section and take a look at each year's designs! http://kamicon.net/story/ This past year's outfits can be found here: http://kamicon.net/mascots/ === WINNERS WILL RECEIVE $100 FOR EACH WINNING CONGIRl DESIGN (AND $50 FOR SHOYU) Yes! That means you can win THREE TIMES! That's $250 smackers, right in your pocket! === DEADLINE Outfit designs are due by Monday, July 1st at 11:59pm CST. No designs will be accepted after this time! To submit your design(s), send an e-mail to [email protected] with the subject Kami-Con S12 Design Contest
