I have gone to one Comic-Con and went with a friend to another but didn't go into the convention because I got sick. But the coosplay was awesome. Waiting in line I was talking to Mom that did costumes for her kids. A bunch of Naruto costumes they were so good.

I don't go to too many comic-cons. I went to one nearby wizard world, but I was helping at a booth selling anime merchandise. And then I help out with a really tiny one. I mostly do anime conventions. I've been going to them and staffing them for 16 years now? D: Scary to think it's been that long!

Are you going to sell your light graphic novel at the upcoming convention?

Shion Uzuki 08-09-2018 06:37 PM

I won't have it done by then! So no, but I usually sell jewelry and cute stuff. I make resin necklaces and other cute jewelry items. I also sell custom-designed tights.

I LOVE comic cons! :D

I went to one in North Dakota once where I sold copies of my comic book and I held a panel where I talked about creating your own comic book on a budget.

It was a small con, but it was the first of an annual con. :D
I debuted my Lady Loki cosplay there and garnered a lot of attention. [oops]
It was awesome, though! It happened on Halloween!!

I'm going to another con now that I live in LA. It's Stan Lee's Comic Con!
I went two years ago dressed as a female Data (from Star Trek The Next Generation). It was awesome too! But I got very anxious midway through... It was my first time back at that comic con since 2011, and back in 2011 it was still a new con, so it wasn't nearly as crowded as it was in 2016. :( I got so nervous we left early...

But I was able to buy a Thorki shirt! It was the last of it's kind.

Oh you should totally post some pictures of your resin jewelry and any other stuff that you are going to sell. If you want to that is I'm one of those people that loves dinner and a show =3

Shion Uzuki 08-10-2018 09:40 PM

@Ava The Vampire Oh that sounds fun! :D I've never been to a big comic con. Data is one of my favorite star trek characters. He is a precious bab. <3 I bet your cosplay was awesome!

@hummy I'll just post a link to my portfolio gallery thingy! http://mintiness.org/artistalley

I only have two cosplays right now, Keith from Voltron which I mostly bought off Amazon/walmart and then made the boots (cause I wasn't paying $70 for boots that might not fit from China) and Prompto from FFXV, which I modified all the parts for. It's been a long time since I've sewn a full costume. I used to compete in competitions and win awards. But I don't really do that anymore. n_n;

hummy 08-11-2018 09:42 AM


Oh I have to charge my phone so I can look through your gallery. I love pictures I can't help it, thanks!

Kory 08-12-2018 10:25 PM

I'm not at my computer right now,
But I will definitely share pictures of my Data cosplay!

It was so much fun! I got a lot of people to take pictures with me and I made it just in time to see a panel featuring Star Trek actors! [squee]
I filmed most of the panel!

Shion Uzuki 08-12-2018 11:00 PM

Oh that's awesome Ava! It sounds like you had a great time!

I've been wanting to cosplay from star trek. IDK if I just want to do a random officer or actually do a character.

hummy 08-13-2018 10:08 AM


Don't do a red shirt

Shion Uzuki 08-14-2018 12:42 AM

Haha, red isn't my color. I say this as I'm literally wearing a red t-shirt. XD

hummy 08-14-2018 11:07 AM


That's funny. I'm only on one red shirt and it's a Christmas shirt with Max on the Grinch on it.

That's seriously the red shirts always die on the away team in Star Trek

Shion Uzuki 08-15-2018 03:15 AM

I have red christmas shirts (Including one with an alpaca on it!!), and then I have a con staff shirt that's red that I was wearing the other day.

hummy 08-15-2018 05:47 AM


Red is supposed to be a power color. That's why Tiger Woods always wears his red shirt on the final day even though he looks like a Christmas tree what he wins and where and has the Green Jacket award it to him. Maybe I should look into wearing red more often...

Shion Uzuki 08-16-2018 06:23 AM

Red can be nice but only if paired with certian colors. :p I like red and gold, red and mint, red and brown, red and lavender, red and pink~ :B

hummy 08-16-2018 07:13 AM


Red and pink huh, I would never have thought to do that

Shion Uzuki 08-17-2018 05:51 PM

I wear lolita, it's sort of like IRL dress up games.

Complete with a marketplace (lacemarket)
Lots of shops
You can even create your own items!
You can build your inventory
You can have a wishist and a questing list.
There's ultra-rares that are highly sought after and rarely show up in the community.

Lots of community activity.

And then when you get your dream irl avi, it's rewarding to put it all on. But sometimes your items don't fit the base. So you either have to change the base or resell them.

hummy 08-17-2018 09:30 PM


That sounds really interesting to create your own item

Shion Uzuki 08-19-2018 07:25 PM

Some people make their own dresses, I make accessories. I could make one and have wanted to but I've not gotten around to it.

On a side note,

We have this place called Round 1. They're all over the US and in Japan. They are basically an arcade/bar type of place, but it also has a lot of good crane machines/ufo catchers and a lot of rhythm games and some Japanese arcade games, along with a lot of other western games too. I went last night with a group of friends. Here's what I won in the crane machines!
