So, I don't have everything drawn that I'd like to have at a table (if I managed to get one) at AA this year.  I had a table last year at Anime Boston, but I only sold buttons and I'd like to branch out.

Before I start printing things though, I'm nervous about making sure I have everything I need to apply for a table.  Like, in the FAQ's for 2012 it says that, "You will also need to list a link to a website showing examples of each type of work you plan to sell." 

I don't know what this means exactly.  Like, do I have to have physical copies of what I plan on selling?  Say, a 11x17 print.  Do I need to just list what I plan on having with maybe some pieces of sample art?  I'm totally confused about this.

I feel kind of dumb asking, but I'd rather know sooner than later so I can get whatever I can done.

the thing is, they want to know your artwork style. Once they see it, then they will let you know if you been qualified / not qualified for artist alley sign ups.

If you got like a deviant art account / pix iv account / flickr / photobucket / etc.. and show you what works you have that you plan to sell or not to sell... then your good to go.

Artist alley Administration (AAA) wants to know what you plan to sell, and to ensure they are your own drawings you made, and not representing as someone else or stealing artwork to make a profit!

Don't be nervous yet, just Be ready when they plan to anounce the signups for the tables. The slots goes REALLY fast, like first 5 minutes over 100 has sign up!, but just because they sign up doesn't mean they are gaurenteed to have a table, they have to show their works to them and then wait for further instructions!

if you dont mind, i would like to see some of your work you accomplished ^ ^!... so send me a private message, becuase im curious what you have ^^ !

I would also love to see your art.  Actually, I think I am going to start a thread for artists to put links to their deviantart or other online portfolios/galleries.  It is never to early to start pushing your brilliance...!

It exists already! There's a sticky thread specifically for DeviantArt accounts under "Incredible Stuff I Can Make". :)

Alright, thank you!  I'm pretty nervous then about whether or not I can get accepted for a table...  I'll PM you now with links to my dA's.  :D  I don't have any recent complete with background works, but I have a pretty established style at least.
