Babyfur Con--One week!
5 years ago
Have you heard about the virtual Babyfur Con? It’s only $20, all online, happening on April 25th.
Do you miss conventions as much as I do? Or have you always wanted to go to a convention, but didn’t have the money or time for a trip with hotel and travel expenses? Have you been too shy to mingle with a bunch of exuberant strangers (I hear you, fellow introverts)? This virtual convention might be the perfect time to try out the convention experience. We’re doing our best to emulate what a real con feels like—hosting various panels from informative to fun games, having an artist’s alley, and helping folks to connect with others who share their interests.
Lots of special announcements!:
1) If you want to get a discount on your $20 registration, sign up for my newsletter here: http://www.theartofmarci.com/furries/ I’m currently offering a 30% discount on convention registration, and if you order a new commission from me of any kind (badge, Paper Doll, Telegram sticker) you’ll get 50% off your registration. I'm currently open for commissions: marci[at]theartofmarci.com
2) I'm holding a third and final Twitter contest this week: enter to win one of 3 free passes to Babyfur Con. You can follow me here to get details: https://twitter.com/marcimcadam
3) At the con I’ll be leading a panel on everything art-related from 1-2:30 pm. Come hang out and see your fellow attendees, ask me questions in real time.
I’ll have a couple of colouring pages available for you to download and have fun with, courtesy of Crinklz—look for those at the con!
4) After my panel I’ll be streaming badge commissions. I’ll have a limited number of slots available during the convention hours—these are badges that you can watch me draw live. Then I’ll have a further number of slots for badges that I’ll complete off-camera during the weekend (these will be dated BFC’20, just as though we were at the convention together).
**I’m making these streaming badge slots available to my newsletter subscribers first! Sign up at http://www.theartofmarci.com/furries/ and watch your email inbox on Wednesday the 22nd—I’ll announce how many slots I have available. I’ll need refs and payment at that time too.
Want to add a sticker or magnet to your badge order? Browse my shop for my current offerings: http://www.theartofmarci.com/furries/shop/
5) New subscribers to my Patreon will get $5 discount on any purchase (including badge commissions, stickers, magnets, and virtual colouring books). Check out my Art Café for all the fun: http://www.theartofmarci.com/artcafe/
6) And finally, I’m offering a special Telegram sticker for BFC attendees: “I was at Babyfur Con #1!” This generic sticker will be free, but you can customize it with your own character for only $20 US. I’ll make it available as a formatted Telegram sticker, as well as a high-res PNG file that you can print, make a real sticker of, or use as a digital avatar. You can order yours today by emailing me: marci[at]theartofmarci.com
That’s it for now. Hope to see you online :)

Are your con commission prices the same as normal rates?
MarciMcAdam
~marcimcadam
OP
I'll just be doing badges, and they're the same rate both at cons and by mail (except that there will be shipping added). They start at $80 US (more info can be found on my website: http://www.theartofmarci.com/furries/ )

Is the stream mentioned in #4 just for attendees of this con?
MarciMcAdam
~marcimcadam
OP
Yes, this stream is just for BFC attendees, Pat. But I’m going to be doing more streaming, both with friends (probably May 2 with Dark Natasha, Caribou, and Michele Light) and for my Patreon folks. It’s just taken some time to get used to the new work flow.

Very good. I might have gone for it, but I'm working most of that day sadly...

I was going to attend anyway, and now I may have to quarantine anyway as a coworker of mine tested positive and my father has to quarantine at least until he gets his test results.

What is the link to the con? Also... How does a virtual con work, or more specifically, how will this virtual convention work?
MarciMcAdam
~marcimcadam
OP
Oops! The link didn't come through. Should be: http://www.babyfurcon.com. Everything will be handled in Zoom chat rooms: panels, games, Q&A sessions, and livestreaming art commissions.

Went to register and it won't let me right now.... How do you get in now? I don't want to miss out on this because I had to wait till my paycheque came in....
