DenFur Post Con Wrap Up

General
Thank you for everyone that took a moment to stop by and say 'hi', and an especially large thank you to everyone who supported me by commissioning a badge.
I did not receive the expected foot traffic this year versus years past. Honestly, I believe it had to do with being placed in the adult section. I was told by several individuals that people wanted art, but didn't want to come into the section. Unfortunately, with the work I do in-con, I do not have the time to go find someone to peddle my art.
Despite that, I had some good business. I'm really done with prints. The ones I have are so incredibly outdated that it's embarrassing to have people flip through them. With how scarce my art is nowadays, to keep prints current, I'd still only have a few pieces for people to look through. It's not worth it.
The new commission layout I have (sketches, large and small badges) make in-con progress much easier and better for turn around. I'm going to continue taking limited large badge commissions with their turn around. I'm hoping that I'll be able to squeeze into general population next time to see more of my regulars who didn't feel comfortable coming into the adult section.
I have also FINALLY updated my business cards. The ones at my table were, also, outdated and didn't have my FurAffinity/DeviantArt links, which is terrible. Thankfully, my new ones have come out so I'll be able to include them for mailed out commissions and at future conventions.
I have three small badges left, but below is my little homework progress list for myself and clients to be updated on. I will continue to update this until they're all mailed out.
Carrot: - Completed | Mailed
Inkmaven Large badge - Completed | Mailed
Qytrain Small badge | Completed | Mailed
"Trash" Small badge | Completed | Mailed
Rathtolar Rath small badge | Completed | Mailed with Full Ill.
Thank you everyone for your support!
Yeah, with prints unless you have frequent enough pieces, they become outdated too quickly.
I hope they'll have the option of preference for prior dealers of the convention. I suggested that in the feedback portion of their survey.
