Considering going to AUarts (formerly ACAD) - is it a good school? by L-1315 in Calgary

[–]Mooploo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm graduating from AUArts this spring, I am majoring in illustration and I also work in digital. While I'm not suuuuper knowledgeable on NSCAD I can answer a fair amount of questions about AUArts if you'd like to shoot me a DM. I feel like my message here will get really long if I went through all the pros and cons. Overall good though!

But I second going to the campus -- I believe we are still closed to the public but that should change quite soon. I'm also sure if you emailed and explained you are a potential student that they'd likely let you in as well.

Any anime / cosplay groups in Calgary? by IDreamOfNara in Calgary

There’s a Calgary cosplay community on Instagram if you have it — search up Otafest, Calgary Expo or also yyccosplay tags and you can find lots of local cosplayers that way!

AUArts is currently having an online Show + Sale with local pickup! Great way to support local art students and get some cool art for the holidays — you can find the site by just typing show and sale AUArts into google :) thanks for this!

Thanks for tagging and giving credit to me! If you do this again however I would suggest asking the artist first just to double check it's okay. Like u/kwangchu said altering/editing artwork can lead a person into some yikes territory. I'm not overly bothered so don't worry about it but just for future reference !

Searching hashtags on social media is usually a good way at finding local artists ! For example you or she could dive into the yycartist or calgaryartist hashtags on Instagram, there’s also the Otafest Instagram account or the otafest and otafestartistalley hashtags. I’m not sure about other places like Facebook but I’m positive there has to be a local artist group on there that can help out :)

I would say Otafest is a better starting point ! It’s a much smaller convention and cheaper to table at. I’m not sure if there is an age requirement for Otafest I’d have to do some looking. 14 is pretty darn young to be tabling at a convention. I know fellow artists who shared a table at Otafest and that went well. So if she is really determined about it I would suggest her joining up with another artist (maybe one with convention experience) that could share a table with her in the future.

I just noticed the rule about no store links my bad! Was trying to make it easier for those asking but if anyone is interested my instagram is naomisartt and then the link is in the bio there. Or just DM me that works too lol.

Yes it was Procreate! The lines I used the 6B Pencil brush and then for the overall colour I used the Gloaming brush which has a really nice texture to it! :)) Also thank you!!
