COOKIE) goes in-depth and in detail on how to get a piece of the
current manga boom in the U.S. With manga now the most popular form
of comics sold in the North American market, the time is ripe for
young creators to get in on the action, and Bruce is here to show you
how. Bring your questions - how to "break in", what kind of pens work
best, esoteric queries - Bruce will have the answers, or will show
you where to find them.

you may have on tools, tehniques, or the Manga industry is welcome.

in this workshop that examines the question. A deeper look into the
character creation process, popular online webcomic publishers,

well as the design aspects.
Webcomix:
Many things go into a webcomic and this workshop covers the various
elements. Popular online webcomic publishers, Squirrelworks.com creators
Chris Moujaes and Aaron Romo discuss not only comic production for the

for you.
Drawing Workshop: with Squirrelworks and Boxer Studios
Costuming Round Table:
This costuming forum gives attendees the chance to compare craftsmanship
methods of different costumers and gain some new and creative ways to make
costumes, props, and style wigs. Paper Wings will provide an example of a
prop or costume, and the forum members will discuss how they, personally,
would go about making the costume in question. Everyone costumes a
different way, and this should be a great opportunity for costumers to learn
about alternative crafting methods!
Too Much Character for Your Average Cosplay:
How to construct robots, mascots and other costumes that require armor,
muscle suits or proportions which go beyond the basic human form.
Otaku Hell:
