I'm not sure if it would be better to add more series or add more characters to series I'm already doing. Obviously I'm already doing the latter with Doctor Who, but I know that those characters will sell decently and that it's a popular series, judging by the online fandom and last year's sales.
If I added to already decided upon series, I would add more Heroes to T&B (probably Sky High, Origami Cyclone, and Blue Rose, at first), Tajima and Hanai in Oofuri, and the rest of Big Bang. I might also do Moriarty and Mycroft for Sherlock, but that's less popular of an idea to me than the ones in the previous sentence.
If I added series, I would choose from Durarara!! (Shizuo, Izaya, and Celty), K-On! (Yui, Mio, Ritsu, and Mugi), Kuroshitsuji (Ciel, Sebastian, and Grell), Gurren Lagann (Kamina, Simon, and Yoko), Evangelion (Shinji, Rei, Asuka, and Kaworu), and MoHS (Haruhi, Kyon, Yuki, Mikuru, and Itsuki). A lot of dealers are selling stuff from those series, so I think for that there are a lot of pros and cons. On one hand, those are popular series and I could make a good amount of money with them. On the other hand, I have a lot more competition doing pins for series that are already well represented in the AA, which means if my art isn't appealing enough it might not be worth it. I think out of the series I listed above, the ones I'd most likely do are Evangelion (since it's the least represented in AA out of those shows, especially with the male characters) and Durarara!! (since I'm really into it at the moment and I think that it's the second most popular on that list, after Kuroshitsuji).
I'm also going to do some bookmarks, possibly with 4koma comics on them.
So, yeah, there is a lot to think about with this. I figure I'm going to make the ones I have planned, she how much more material I have, and then decide.
Also, if I can get a cheap enough webcam (since the one of my Mas would not work for this purpose), I'm going to take requests and do them on a live stream, to practice for doing commissions at the con. I'd probably do one this weekend, so what time would be good for you guys?
