looks like this year would be a very competitive one for fanart.
not sure if i got my facts right, but there is most likely 100 booths at the Creators Hub this year.
maybe it will include the official merchandise shops but i'm not sure since they have not revealed the floor plan for AFA.
MUSE taiwan will also be there at AFA 2015.
i think the Creators Hub section is the grey area above where MUSE is on the map. on the top left side. must say, it's going to be quite huge. apparently the space to walk in between the tables are 3m wide. might be a bit crowded if it's the peak period.
these are some of the art doujin masters that i will be looking out for!
feel free to check them out and support them at AFA!
Disclaimer: This is not a paid advertisement! i just want to share my fave artists and their links here for my reference to future projects/merchandise they will be selling. i do not have any relation to them except that i'm a fan of their art and like to support their creative talents to the best of my financial ability at anime events that happen in my country.
some of them have tumblr too, but i'll just put their fb links here.
Keyade does very nice prints and i do look forward to purchase more~ i think her doujin group is Unheard and Unsound
i like Shion-chen's art too
another favourite of mine is Circus-Usagi, her art just screams kawaii because i really like this kind of chibi art style.
another group i like is Blaue Atelier it looks like i may buy some prints and keychains from them!
i also bought a few prints previously from cglas , his art is so cool.
Minoru art is adorable too, because gudetama... this silly egg (could possibly refer to Saitama as well)
my guesses for the top 3 anime/game to have the most fan art at AFA 2015
- Haikyuu
- One Punch Man
- Touken Ranbu
surprisingly some artist have added ten count in their merch
i've also bought quite a few of her charms before, Chuinny's art is very kawaii too!
one other artist is Soumeki
Secret Garden G4 have super cute badges and most probably get some from them!
purrballs have really cute kitty badges, great for all you cat lovers out there!!
twinrabbitsdesign have interesting merch too like name plate charms which are very unique, they do sell out quite fast, so if interested you must be quick.
on a side note, i think a new type of merchandise a few artists are making are acrylic stands
quite interesting!
i shall get some and put them at home.
that's about all the links i can find for now.
maybe more will be coming soon by next week!
in the mean time, counting down to AFA 2015 in the days to come and reading Apocalypse no Toride
zombie manga.
no work day is usually rainy day.
watched Our Times yesterday, pretty good movie.
