O_O koyar, that's absolutely hard core. kudos to you!!

aww, zanazac, I thought you did get a table! (; A ;)

As for sketches, I think that they would tend to sell best to your own fan base (...because I know most of you have fans too!) They would be people who really like your art style.

Oh! Oh! FINALLY!! Issue 7 of "Lucian Fallen" is done!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy~! *cries*

i am very fond of sketches and love to see them O: I also wondered if people have done this. the problem is the pricing has to be alright, because it isn't a finished work, it shouldn't be charged as much

Awesome stuff guys! It's cool to see artists put together there own books. I'm curious though, does anybody have sketchbooks there going to sell? I was thinking of printing and binding together some sketches to sell at my table, but people have told me that it usually doesn't sell well...

I don't have a table this year, so I won't be able to sell this book at AN, but I thought I'd just post about it here anyway.

It's a Bleach doujinshi focusing on Tatsuki and her escapades as a shinigami. ^__^...

Skwerly> It took around 12 hours to bind and trim 50 books. Cover printing took 3 days.. XD;;

Lroy> I'll look forward to it in the future then...

nitroglycerinkiss> I have experience that original stuff does better than fan, and vice versa. It depends on what show I'm at. But when fan stuff sells, it really sells. @_@

koyar: Wow!!! That's some hard core bindery action!!!
How long did it take you to bind the books?

Lroy: Yes I'll be at FanExpo! ..and I have to see (buy) your other comic! ^___^

Skwerly: You going to Fan Expo again this year? Perhaps I'll try to have the next Queen of Hearts out by then. :3 Have I shown you my other comic? Its a side story to my webcomic and involves a squirrel...

Koyar: Sadly, we couldn't the second anthology done in time for AN this year. I'm not entirely sure what's going on with it at this point, only that it's still on.

nitroglycerinkiss: My fan...

W-wow, such amazing books everyone! The designer in me can't get over the awesomness of the silk-screened covers... *o* I must... touch them... *flail* Next year I hope to make a book or two, I will probably be making a doujinshi and if I have time, fixing up my original comic to make it suitable to print. Therefore, I hope to buy as many of everyone's books that I can afford since they'd be so motivating to me, and also to examine everyone's binding techniques! XD

Thanks for your comments~ yay! books! I'll come looking for you guys for sure!

I can say it cost zero dollar for binding since I did it myself 8D May be I used $2 worth of glue. It's just labour intensive, same with screenprinting, although it probably is nothing compared to the drawing part. I would be happy if cheap small run printing places exist, but then I figured I should just start my own~
I have quite a number of books with saddle stitching...

yeah, I have to agree that the perfect binding really makes for really nice and clean look!

lroy, I'm waiting for the next installment for Queen of Hearts!

We're still hoping to get issue 7 of our "Lucian Fallen" series (original) out in time for AN.
Here's a photo (sorry this is the best I can do right now) from the doujinka fest of issues 1-6 (which are still available):

Yay books <3 I'm glad to see everyone's work!!

I encourage everyone to make books~ doesn't matter if they're professionally printed or if they're just copy books!
It's the love you put into it that makes it awesome~ and the feeling of having the final product in your hand

Koyar is so hardcore/amazing with self binding...

What Armastama said! Those look so awesome!

u_u I made a Star Ocean doujinshi with my sis a few years back that I still have copies of for sale but obviously it's not something new for this year. http://humangray.com/etc/dxc/djpreview.jpg
I've been working a themed artbook with two friends but it's not done yet. XD; We'd been looking at

Wow, those look incredible @o@ especially stacked up so high! Was it expensive to bind? Screenprinting the cover is such a good idea, I imagine it cuts down on printing costs and it looks so much more stylish. It's got that hand-made quality to it, which is so nice since we don't have awesome doujinshi-printing places like Japan does. How much are you selling them for?
I really wanted to do a comic but I'm so ashamed of my laziness. Seeing how cool yours is just from those...

Love the perfect binding. Those are very cute. :3

That's awesome. I always thought about doing a book in this format.. though the cost to make per book usually scare the shat outta me.
