Stoke Con Trent Review

Selling at Stoke-on-Trent is now my fourth convention to sell at, and although reasonably quiet still pulled a reasonable profit of £69.50. Surprisingly the thing that was most popular was a 7 postcard set of the BTS members which where £1 each or all 7 for £5. The deal seemed go down a treat, selling out of all prints including the display ones before we packed up. Other than that, two Haikyuu Kageyama A4 digital prints sold, plus several key rings and stickers.

On previous experiences I had disagreeable table partners or have tabled on my own. This time around however, I ended up tabling with a friend of mine, whom will be my partner for comic con too. This was our practice set up and experiment on how we work together and i have to admit it went well! Other than her forgetting one or two things at the beginning and having to return home to get them, everything went according to plan. However this is what it was for, this is the time to make mistakes and learn from them.

I feel that the Stoke-con experience wasn't the best for everyone, a lot of people where complaining about the lack of sales, even the guest artists weren't doing well. But I think the main problem for this was where we were situated in a good location but tucked around in a corner. Which is unfortunate but couldn't be helped. But for my as an individual looking back on it, I am walking away with a positive experience.

Bone Rank System

I thought, since it is quite prominent in my story, that i would delve into the Korean Silla Dynasty's bone rank system  to get a clear understanding of just what it means. The Bone Rank System, so called because it was based on a person’s hereditary bloodline, was introduced as part of a new law  in 520 CE by king Beophung. However,  GolPum system was technically abolished with the fall of Unified Silla in 935. This is the simplest diagram I could find which explained the kind of standing that people had, and how it corroborated with their title. First of, a Sunggol or 'Sacred Bone' They have to be directly related to royalty on BOTH sides of their parents. Up until King Muyeol, only a Sunggol could ascend to the throne. It was due to the lack of an adequate male Sunggol which made it possible for both Queen Seon Duk and Queen Jindeok to ascend to the throne. They were the last of the Sunggols. Jingol 진골 also known as “True Bone” refers to som...

Logo Concept and Design

LOGO CONCEPT AND DESIGN  -  FANTASY First of all I did my initial research for the names that I liked, as we are a fantasy group we wanted something that reflected this theme. It needed to be suitable for the use on a variety of different combined Fantasy genres (Horror, Romance, Action etc.) The ideas I came up with where: (Side note: All have Publishing House ending it) Zezura - Meaning: It is said to be the name of a mystical city filled with treasure in the middle of the Sahara with a sleeping king and queen. It is guarded by giants. Lemuria - Meaning: A mythical lost country located variously in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Reverie - Meaning: In a state of a peaceful, pleasant and enjoyable daydream. Elysian Fields - Meaning: It is a paradise described in Greek mythology where heroes, Greek God decedents and those deemed worthy go to live a virtuous life after death.  Empyrean - Meaning: Heaven, Happiness, Dreamland, Celestial and...
