- It was my first time going out to the East Coast to vend at a convention! I was lucky enough to get into Otakon's Dealer Hall this year for Otakon 2023!
I know this is a bit of a longer video but I really wanted to capture and show my entire experience since it was my first time.

![[Artist Alley Vlog 12] Otakon 2023 || EmiiCreations](/img/n.gif)
One day I'll get into Otakon 🤧 I heard some people do SUPER well there compared to AX 👀
The AA hall was super crowded + they get the extra hour after the Dealer's hall closes, so I can see some folks doing really good.
The different hours for AA and Dealers seems so good for visiting friends in either but I would be so worried about theft 😬😭
Theft is always a concern no matter the off hours or not!
The lines to get in the dealer and artist alley halls were MASSIVE (not to mention the line to even get into the convention on saturday morning at opening). It was my first convention ever but I was definitely a bit thrown off by the sheer number of floors and rooms and how complicated the map was. Do you give feedback to conventions after you attend/sell there, to help them improve? The entrances were definitely confusing too. We wound up going out the first floor, trying to cross the street to the other building, but they wouldn't let us in the door you went in there, and we weren't allowed BACK in the way we'd just left. We had to walk all the way around the building and re-queue to get back in, in the heat!
Oh god!!!! That sounds like a horrible experience and I'm so sorry getting in & out of the building was so complicated! Sometimes conventions will send out a feedback form email. I've yet to see one for this convention yet.
You really inspire me to make my own booth and stuff! I just need to practice and make some good art 😊😊
You can do it!
I love your videos girl!
I just attended Otakon and remember seeing your adorable booth there!
OMG I SAW A WILD EMII! :D TY for including me. So honored. It's so fun to see you bring your whole family! I hope they also enjoyed the trip! Come join my in AA next time!
WHOA! I love Otakon ✨
It was great meeting you!! I hope you guys survived the traffic when yall went sight seeing!
As someone who attends otakon every year their dealers room is always a main attraction there
I’m addicted to watching your videos! I’m currently watching them as they pop up but I love your content! Especially as an artist who’s planning on doing artist alley someday it’s super educational too!
Thank you for the support! Im glad you're liking them!
Late to the party. Like five months late 😅 but I’ve fallen in love with your vids, I was at OTAKON and wish I saw your booth. It was my first time and me and my friend were overwhelmed at times. Sorry to hear it wasn’t how you anticipated it going.
Maybe Dreamcon in GA falling on the same weekend hurt. Hope to see you at OTAKON in August
If it make sense to come back next year, please do! I'm not sure the logistics of dealer hall vs artist alley but I think you would fit better in the artist alley and there was much more foot traffic on the artist alley this year vs last year in the dealers hall. I didn't even know you where a corgi vendor until my friend told me. And was happy to find you and bought stuff. I am kicking myself for not buying more bec your website didn't have the same stuff as you did at otakon. I would of cleaned house if I knew! Thanks for coming
Awww Hahha! Im hoping to update the website soon! Unfortunately Otakon has a rule where once you're in Dealer's Hall you forfeit your ability to move back into the Artist Alley.
@@singlesploot That's weird. I do know that Otakon itself is all ran by volunteers, a lot of the logistics with this convention is bit convoluted because of this. There were the building people but everyone else that wore staff shirts are all volunteers. This is partly why it can feel very unorganized. I really do hope you come back next year if it makes sense!
I’m selfishly not sad to hear the crossbody didn’t sell all that well because I am impatiently waiting for it to come to the website or still be in stock at the next near Seattle show. It’s just so cute! 😍
when you do this type of set up, have u had any people steal the stickers n magnets? i want to make a set up similar but maybe smaller items be brought in the wall more than out to the edge, but overall your stuff looks amazing as always !!!
Theft is always a concern with a set up like this but I think the pros out weigh the cons.
Hi! I was the Miku that came up to you on Sunday and said I watched your videos! Sorry I didn't get anything though. I believe that the ends of the dealers hall were very sparse, while the middle was more active. Just something to think about
Hello!!! Hahah it's okay! Watching my content online supports me as well!!
Unfortunately we don't get to pick our spots and it's randomly assigned 🥲 But that's good to know that there are areas where it was a bit more active!!
素晴らしい😊😊
That’s a shame that the Dealers Room was kind of dead this year. Hopefully next year they’ll fix their mistake of having a lot more space and put more booths in.
I wish I checked your booth out. Will you be there next year?
Not sure if I'll be there next year since it depends on the jury! :)
@@singlesploot Okay! I'm sorry I missed your booth. 💜💜💜💜💜
I hope Okaton get better with stuff and communication! I can tell they sold more tickets this year! You vendors have to pay for Internet? I thought it was added with y'all bundle to have a table. That's ridiculous! Thanks for sharing
Yeah internet is not included. It's not really common for it to be included in our packages but it's not that huge of a deal breaker on my end!
Would you guys ever sell the baseball staff corgi shirt? It’s so cuteee
Hi how are you
I feel like most artist who do this full time are filipinos or asians in general who have the talent and heart like you have :)
Hello!! I actually don't do this full time!!! 🫣 I have a corporate full time job!
@@singlesploot same here in canada to XD I followed you on my perler artist account because I do a ton of perler artwork I hope you bring back the corgi corgi black t shirt your mom wears I would love to buy one or a hoodie one of them because I live in canada XD
