In 2014 I had an artist alley table at five different anime and pop-culture conventions, all held in Melbourne. Unlike in 2013, I had my artist table mostly all to myself this time. I spent a lot of time drawing fanart for trading, but also took up a one year graphic design course in 2014. So, due to time constrains, I didn’t draw as much as I planned, but here are some of the artworks and designs I made for trading that year.
A few design projects I did for my one year graphic design course in 2014. I did a large variety of different design projects, a lot of which were typography heavy, but there were some illustration work that I did and quite enjoyed.
After graduating from my animation course, I decided that animation wasn’t really for me, or rather I didn’t want to pursue it professionally anymore. Instead, I decided to go the direction of trying to make a business out of my hobby for drawing anime-style art and it took a serious turn to drawing more fanart for conventions in 2013.
I went to four different anime and pop-culture conventions held in Melbourne and had an artist alley table at all of them. Three out of the four tables, I shared a table with another artist. Here are some of the artworks I sold during these conventions.
A practise sketch. Me trying out 15 different drawing styles on the head of my Hunter x Hunter OC character Leona. For some reason, the semi-realistic versions scare me a little. (ಠ_ಠ)

Character sheet for Ling, a mascot character I designed for myself but didn’t really end up using much. I used her for one of my business cards one time.

[Complete] A short interactive ‘choose your own path’ webcomic game that was converted from an Adobe Flash game I made in 2012 for a uni project.
Mocki’s character concept took inspiration from the concept of Miffy but is more the spirit of Tuzki in terms of design. He was a part of my animation homework where I had the idea to create Mocki alongside a slime blob named “Doob”; I would used these characters in animation practice and made a couple of scrap animations with them as the main focus.
The animations were made entirely in Adobe Flash, and then later converted to standard video format.
2012 was the final year of my animation course and most of my time was spend working on my final animation project. Around mid-year though, I somehow still squeezed in time to prepare art for my very first stall at the artist alley at a local anime fan convention.
The two above are sketches of Kurapica (left) and my OC Leona with Kurapica (right) from HunterxHunter. The left sketch was made in PaintTool SAI as a software tester, the right sketch was made in Photoshop.
An original character artwork I drew in 2010 and finally completed it in 2012.
