I'm trying to make it, but it depends on my irl situation. It'd be kinda hard to go if I dont have a home to come back to :/

Does anyone know whether it's alright/appropriate to sell commission work here? I'm always looking for the opportunity to supply pictures to the crowd. I've done it at NCI and Dromstruction thus far, if you haven't heard of/seen me around.

Hello Sidedash,

We have official SCR photographers there.

You can take pictures for personal use but by no means are you allowed to sell anything at the event.

He means custom drawn artwork (for sticks, posters, etc.), but perhaps that also falls under the same rules?
