The owner of AnimeAlmanac.com described MangaNEXT, to be a “small, cute convention“. Having gone in 2008 as an Artist Alley attendee, I could agree to an extent. In my opinion though, this year’s 4th iteration proved to be a little more than just “small and cute”.

[EtherFuture & MangaNEXT 2010]
Ah~ MangaNEXT…the convention where EtherFuture first made our debut at the Artist Alley in 2008. This was also the convention where we met a group of girls whom I have stayed in touch with since then and have tabled & have met up with at a few different cons. MangaNEXT is a con that holds a lot of meaning for myself and the group, as it was also during a time where I was losing faith in and feeling greatly disconnected from attending conventions in general – I was having a hard time forming lasting relationships. However, that all changed and now I look forward to seeing five awesome ladies every year.
[EF Project Focus #02]
Though we’ve been pretty silent around here, the truth is that we’ve been working, ever so slowly gradually, on two projects. Back in July, we teased our original doujinshi project. The picture above hints a bit more of what we’re doing with that, and I’ll be going into detail of where we are later on. The second project has also come along, and we have some preliminary sketches that will go up very soon.
[EF Project Focus #01]
After a week of respite from all things EtherFuture, KOU and I met this past Friday for dinner, anime, video amusement, and, most importantly, recapping the weekend that was ANEXT. We discussed what we had both taken away from the con and I had also prepared a list of topics that I felt were relevant to preparing us for the next go-round. There are a few small things, like designing real business cards and improving our social media presence, that we talked about in great length.
[AnimeNEXT 2010 EF Artist Alley Report]
EtherFuture survived yet another Artist Alley at our home convention, AnimeNEXT. With this being only our second time tabling at ANEXT (and our third time overall), we want to first thank those who stopped by our booth (the one with the LCD display showing off our webcomic, Dance of Heart) and showed their support for the hard work for our earnest efforts to bring quality artwork to our fellow enthusiasts. We really had a blast, and was, by far, the best Artist Alley experience we’ve had yet!
[EtherFuture + ANEXT’10 START!]
EtherFuture is off to a “ROLLING START” with all that we have lined up for our time at AnimeNEXT 2010! Yes we are bent on making that into an internet meme. XD
