Comiket 77 Success

Whew, It's been a while since I posted on the Circle Revolution blog, so here's whats up:

Winter Comiket 77, success.

Wow I haven't even posted what happened after I applied to comiket here eh?

Well, to simply explain- I went through a mess to find out if I made it or not, then found out I made it but never got the accepted package; so I had to fill out a mis-delivery form, then wait a week, and then finally get the news that I finally got the package to participate in comiket. That was in November. The rest of that month I spent working on my books. I chose the Touhou Category, since I'm into Touhou and its like one of the biggest genres of comiket.

I made one Doujinshi and one Illustration book. My Brother made a Doujinshi. I also sold my Nightmares Cure book.

For a more indepth look at how things went see my regular blog: http://kxela.blogspot.com/search/label/Comiket


Well, it wasn't official, but that week I had my first Circle Revolution group.
Me and Arima-Shiro from Spain shared the table (even though she had one book), I asked a few people if they were able to come to comiket and if they want to join my table.
I was able to meet these people:

-Arima-Shiro (arima-shiro.deviantart.com)
-Marina-Tsunamia (marinatsunamia.deviantart.com)
-Kurot (kurot.deviantart.com)

I came to the conclusion that, because I've been through so many artist alleys in the US, I've pretty much learned how to fill my table up to the max. Sharing my table was a bit tricky, though I had planned it in advanced.



I entered as circle name "Kxela" lol. A Indy circle that lets people come in and out at random times I guess. But for what I had, It pretty much took up the whole table.

So in the future, I want to set up THIS group as "Circle Revolution" apart from my own circle "Kxela".... Of course that group name is still pending, as I dont have much of a group yet. HOWEVER! you get the gist of it.


...Because The deadline for comiket 78 is coming, I need to apply soon. Doesn't seem like I have a tangible group to make a circle for this project, so I'll be applying as myself again.

The trick here is- What category to sign up as?
Comiket is a convention that allows parody comics and original comics. We ran into the problem where my stuff was Touhou and Arina's book was Hetalia. Of course being in the Touhou section people there were looking for Touhou. As a result the Hetalia book didnt get much attention.


...So see here, there's quite a bit to think about just entering comiket.
Since peoples interests differ its hard to gather a group and say "yay were at comiket"

So when there's enough people, there needs to be a decision- original? or a group aimed at some catagory?

Circle Revolution isnt really ONE group we need to make, rather it should be a group to help each other aim for their goals. Meaning? Well whether you are just one person by yourself wanting to participate in Comiket or other cons, OR if you are already a group and need help getting to steps to applying to comiket, this should be the place to reach those goals.


I think though, from the people that seemed interested, that it wouldn't be so hard to put together an all original group since from what I gather most of the people like to make their own comics (thumbs up)

Anyways. Yeah. I'm pretty much here blabbering to myself, I'm gonna add a comment box for the site, give your thoughts and comments freely :D

Until next time,
Kxela
