Anyone going? I heard that some people are going to cosplay as Touhou chars. If anyone else is going, maybe we could all meet up?
-
triangles and I will be stopping by outside the con to say hi to some people but we don't really plan to go to the con per se. :-/
ITT also NY metro area MotKers, sound the hell off so we can coordinate some kind of get-together or something in the future!
-
As much as I would absolutely go to one of these, there's a few problems keeping me from going such as money, area, and I'm not as tomgirlish in appearance as I am in nature.
Though a friend of mine lives in NY; look for the pale guy with a wiry afro!
-
I'll be going, but just on Friday. I'll be mostly buying stuff and doing Gundam stuff. Say good-bye to a good bit of my bank account...
I'll be in a yukkuri t-shirt, if anyone wants to find me but i haven't done anything famous so yay
-
I'm going to be going in on Saturday. I live on Long Island, so I have to take a train in, but it's not terrible. I'm probably going to be buying some shirts there, although they probably won't have anything touhou-related :(

THERE IS A TOUHOU FANARTIST AT NYAF
HOW DO I KNOW?
THEY WERE PHOTOGRAPHED BY A CNN IREPORT PERSON

KANAKO TITS LAWL
Edit: This isn't the classroom, so I might as well add something.
It's cool that this made into CNN. Are you planning on finding this artist to see if everything they have is good?
-
We didn't go and none of our friends would know what to look for D:
However, this con having a Touhou presence has motivated triangles to kick off her China costume for T-Mode down in Alexandria, VA.
-
Oh, that's a shame, but simultaneously sounds good. Is triangles into cosplay, or is she just doing Touhou characters now because she's into it?
Related: Are you guys big on going to cons? Or are you just lucky to have a decent amount nearby? I know I'd be more enthusiastic about cons if I wasn't broke all the time, and there weren't only one good con in the area.
-
I only saw one person doing Touhou art, but he was sharing the table with someone else. I don't think it was the same person. o_o
And I got to the Touhou merchandise booth too late it seems ;_; there wasn't much there. Got complimented for my t-shirt though >_<
-
This was the guy with the table: http://kouotsu.deviantart.com/
I didn't see the guy from the CNN article though, and I was there for a whole 12 hours on saturday, just wandering around. I would have seen it.
These were the two touhou-related prints he had:

I bought a large one of Rin, it looks awesome. Supposedly he's planning on selling t-shirts eventually. I noticed he had two Yukkuri plushes on the top of one of his displays. He wasn't doing commissions, for whatever reason.
I also saw a few touhou shirts, as well as someone cosplaying as Erin. Someone also had a Suwako hat.
Edit: Wait, there was a Touhou merchandise booth?! O_O
-
Haha, that Suwako was exactly the one I got. He was the guy in the picture?
There was a booth that had a lot of doujin stuff, including a box with some Touhou stuff in it. Mostly doujinshi everywhere though. The other side of the booth screaming yaoi probably set you off.

Wait a sec, that wasn't /just/ a Yaoi booth? What kind of stuff did it have, just doujinshi manga in japanese?
I just remembered I think I may have seen someone cosplay as Tewi, but it could have been some other character that looked oddly similar. I remember that was the case when I saw some figurines that looked like Cirno, but were actually some Evangelion char.
BTW: some pictures are starting to show up on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=New+york+anime+festival&s=rec&z=e
That bumblebee cosplay was /awesome/

Someone also had a Suwako hat.
I know him. I'm trading a doll with him for that hat~

Were you with him? I think I saw you.

Was it in the morning? That might have been me...
-
I don't remember, lol. I don't think it was "morning", per se, since the thing opened at 1. Whoever it was, they were wearing the same thing.

Nah, I couldn't make it this year. I'll probably go next year though.

I wish I had a camera with me at the time so I could take a picture of the Erin cosplay :/

Hello, kouotsu here! I am glad you like the Rin print. I actually was doing commissions, if I told you I wasn't or had my sign taken down then I guess it was Sunday when I didn't have anymore time?? Though 2 people still asked Sunday and I agreed. Then I found out bkub was at NYAF and had to rush to draw him something on top of those 2 lol... I got 12 commissions during the con so I was pretty busy!
Sorry that you missed the opportunity -- it is best to visit Artist Alley by mid-Saturday if you are interested in commissions from people, especially from me lol because I tend to spend more time on them than I should in relation to price lol
I sold t-shirts at Otakon, I just didn't have the money to produce more for NYAF. Hopefully I will go to Katsucon this coming February and have a whole new shirt design ready and made.
P.S. I did see the Tewi, she stopped by my table! I did not see that Kanako print personally, but I heard about it from someone during the con. Guess I should draw some boob touhous
Thanks again to everyone who supported me, aside from that one Kanako print I still seem to be monopolizing Touhou in the east coast artist alleys lol. Can't count how many times I have heard "duuude you're the only one here that does touhou!!!!"

It was actually Saturday, right after you got back from some concert at around 10:45, but it's no prob. I'm glad to here that there was in fact a Tewi and it wasn't just me.

hmmmm the concert I was going to was actually at like 11 so maybe it was because I was going to it?? I didn't actually get to my table Saturday until like 10:30. I cannot exactly remember but sorry about the confusion
