Who is Avallac'h?
This is Avallac'h
(Note, this character comes from an "adult entertainment" video game Witcher 3 Wild Hunt, and you must be 18 or older to buy the game. Assume all videos and pages featuring Avallac'h are NSFW. This guy's a major pervert)
FAQs:
Yes, you can take pictures.
You don't have to ask to take pictures of the car,
but please ask first before taking pictures of me.
No, I'm not an actor, I do not do the masquerades. No interest in such things.
No, I will not join your group in a skit. I don't do skits. Sorry, I Just don't do them.
No, I do not enter the workmanship contests - I am a professional seamstress,
with a college degree in theatrical costume making and pattern design
and do not qualify to enter such events.
I am also driven by my love for the characters, not winning prizes
and have no incentive to enter such things.
While I'm not doing an official book signing at PortCon, you are more then welcome to bring books for signing,
and if you catch me in the hall, I'll be more than happy to sign them for you.
Thank you!
PortCon takes place in 4 separate buildings: the 2 DoubleTree towers, at the Maine Mall across the street, and starting in 2018, now also in the new Hilton building next door to the two towers.

I will be there at all days of the event.

In case you forgot or didn't know, I am OtherKin, ElfKin to be exact, I'm what is known as Genderfluid TransSpecies, a type of Transgender, and this is an Elf, and likely an Elf you will see me, fully "evolve" into, over the next 2 or 3 years. Though born a female Human, I've not identified as either female or a Human since I was 12. |
IMPORTANT NOTE:
PortCon is the ONLY convention I will be at in 2018!
I have been CosPlaying since 1987, 2018 is my 31st year as a CosPlayer. In that time I've done 200+ costumes and usually am seen at as many as 12 events each summer. I know, you usually expect to see me at lots of events throughout the year, however, I've been doing this for 31 years now, and both my age and my health are preventing me from being very active of late.
I have arthritis, hip dysplasia, Parkinson's Disease, Autism (Kanner's Syndrome), PTSD, have 3 ruptured discs in my spine, am blind in one eye and fast going blind in my other eye, am deaf in one ear and can not hear well in the other, and since being attacked by a stalker who left me paralyzed for 5 months and 18 months relearning to walk, I'm now on a cane. My health is not good of late and I am no longer able to make full season of event runs. While I have no plans to retire from CosPlaying, I will be doing far fewer events than you saw me doing in the past.
Since 2013, I've only CosPlayed disabled/crippled characters who use a cane or staff to walk, thus allowing me to incorporate my cane into the CosPlay. That is the case this year. The character Avallac'h is both elderly and crippled and that is why I picked him to CosPlay. The Avallac'h CosPlay includes a staff, which will be replacing my cane.
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE STAFF!
It is NOT a prop!
This is an ACTUAL MEDICAL GRADE staff
that I have had custom made for this costume.
I know people like to touch my extremely elaborate, over the top CosPlays, but please be aware,
I am EXTREMELY CRIPPLED and RELY HEAVILY on the cane to be able to walk.
The staff you will see with this costume is real, and I CAN NOT walk without it.
(If you didn't know I am a senior citizen, I'm not sure why, but most people tend to think I'm some 20 to 30 years younger then I actually am, but, yes, I'm old enough to be your grandmother, in fact, you're grandmother is probably younger than me. I seem to be older then most of my fans' grans these days. I does get tiring, young kids in their 30s walking up to me and saying "Gee I wish I was young like you, I'd date you." You're in your 30s, that's means you're a child to me. I was YOUR age back in the 1970s - 40 years ago.)
*sigh*
The emails I'm getting this past week, have made it necessary to add this notation:
No, I will not make a Witcher character costume for you for free and you likely can't afford to hire me to make one for you either.
These movie-set quality costumes cost several thousand dollars and 400+ hours to make,
with the standard dressmaking cost being $25 an hour + 3 times cost of materials,
while it is costing me around $3,000 in materials to make this, you've not counted in the time it took and the cost per hour I would charge you.
$3,000 x 3 + ($25 x 400hr) = $13,000.
You are looking at around $13,000 to hire me to make this Avallac'h costume on this level of craftsmanship for you.

2018 April/May/June Update:
As you know, most of the year I publish 2 to 3 articles a day.
However, every year during convention season, I take a break from that to go full swing CosPlay.
From early April 2018 to late June 2018, article posting schedule will be sporadic, while CosPlay Season and Convention events are going full swing.
During this time period, you can expect most, possible all new articles to be focused on costume making, CosPlay, and the characters I'm CosPlaying.
UPDATE: It's now divided into 7 pages. The primary page "Meet Avallach" is now over 20,000 words long. At this rate, it'll cross 60,000 long before the costume is finished, and that's not including the other 5 pages. The primary page has now crossed 60,000 words and counting, the whole set of Avallac'h pages are now more than 200,000 words long, and more then 500 pictures of Avallac'h and his friends have now been uploaded on these pages, plus there are now 400+ hour-long videos f the costume making process as we record live, every second of this insanely elaborate, over the top CosPlay project.
As of May 19, just 29 days to PortCon we are embroidering his blue coat in a countdown against the clock to finish in time for the event, while we pray that The Dazzling Razzberry will be re-weilded back together and drivable in time for PortCon, after it's recent vandalism by Old Orchard Beach's ever growing Ku Klux Klan problem.
There will still be daily updates, but the BULK of the daily updates will be limited to the pages linked here:

Answering questions again. Doing a lot of that today. We have once again and question from
The Warrior's Forum[quote=sflosi34;11076515]Hello everyone,
I have recently though about making video content based around a niche that I picked.
My question is should I stick with youtube where my channel would have the possibility of being lost in the crowd or should I make my own website where I could get a more targeted audience and monetize the site when the time is right?
Thank you for any replies as they would be a big help in helping me decide.[/quote]
What I do is publish videos to YouTube, then embed then into the articles on my website.
I don't focus on driving traffic to YouTube, rather I focus on driving traffic to my website pages that the videos are embedded into.
If you look at my YouTube channel you can see a stark difference in the view counts of videos embedded in my site and videos just on YouTube only. The ones on YouTube only have 20 to 30 views each; while the ones embedded into my web site have 2,000 to 65,000 views each. Quite a big difference. My videos with the highest view counts get their views from my website visitors watching my videos on my website.

Eye of The Grigoi
Eye of the Watchers
Eye of God
Hand of God
Eye of Protection
Evil Eye
Gypsy Curse
Not many people visit my YouTube channel and watch my videos directly from YouTube, but most of my website traffic watches the videos embedded on my site.
I think it is very difficult to rank super high in YouTube search results because there are so many YouTube videos being made every day. Whereas, it's easier to rank a web page high on Google search results, and put the video on that page, resulting in the video ranking high, because the site page ranks high.
I have 600+ videos and only about 100 of them are embedded into my website yet. I have to get to work on embedding the rest, because that really does have a massive effect on view counts.
Based on what I see happening on my own channel, I think it's far more productive to focus SEO marketing on a website page, and embed your YouTube videos into that page. While I have seen SEO marketing work in a few videos, it seems to work far better in website pages, so promoting web pages with my YouTube videos embedded into them, is a bigger focus for me, then just promoting the YouTube videos on their own in YouTube.
[quote=sflosi34;11076537]
Thanks for the reply. I should have more clear. I haven't made a channel yet. While I like your idea my niche would be gaming and I'm not sure it would work keeping content on separate sites.
[/quote]
Write a quick article about the game, then post your videos at the end, saying something like... "And now you can watch me actually play the game and see for yourself how great it is!"
That's what I do for my gaming videos.
So far I've only done it for my Slime Rancher videos.
I have have a full 500 hour playthrough of Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt going up... one that includes me modded the hell out of the game and turning Geralt into a pink Necromancer Elf and his horse Roach into a glittering purple unicorn that shoots lightening bolts (mods are amazing!)... the witcher senses are pink and purple.... and omg, I figured out how to dye his armour pink.... then I had him run off chasing pigeons and running away from monsters instead of fighting them....and there's and entire section where I decided to see how long it would take to pick 1,000 flowers out in the field... the answer... it took 4 hours. I made a 4 hour long video of hippie Geralt picking flowers for no reason at all. At level 16 I went after a level 30 Basilisk and spent 5 hours dying over and over again... but finally defeated it...
I turned Geralt into a fruitcake ...
500 episodes of Geralt acting like he's high on opium. :D
Yes, I did turn him into Quaraun. What'd you expect after what I did with my Magicka gameplay?
I guarantee you've never seen anyone play Witcher the way I do... And that was easy mode... I'm gonna replay the whole thing on Death March...
Right now, I'm doing something equally as insane... I'm making 500 pages for my website... and I'm going to comment on every single video in the 500 episode mega series of Geralt as drug addicted flower picking, pigeon chasing hippie who runs from monsters.
In short... I'm gonna do what I do best: write fanfiction... I'm writing 500 pages of fan fiction... and embedding the corresponding video into it. I'm gonna drive Geralt's screaming fangirls from fanfiction.net straight to my website to read Geralt fanfiction where they'll also find my psycho cray pink Geralt on a purple unicorn gameplay videos to watch.
Hey, it is absolutely, completely, totally, 100% possible to make gaming content for your website and embed your gaming videos into them.
Think creatively. You can and will find a way to create pages on your website that allow you to embed your gaming videos.
[quote=sflosi34;11076607]
Thank you everyone for the responses. The only thing I am concerned with is the advertiser boycott that is currently hitting youtube. Not that money is the main goal in putting out videos, but I would like to see some money for the time and I don't know if ad revenue will do that.
[/quote]
The "YouTube" boycott, doesn't just effect YouTube... ALL of AdSense is being hit hard by it. And it has nothing to do with how much you make per click.
The $1 per 1,000 view myth, is respun everywhere and has no real basis in fact at all, because Google pays you per ad CLICKED on, not per ad impressions viewed, as the common myth falsely says. Once you get into YouTube you're gonna start hearing everyone preaching the $1 per 1,000 views chant. Ignore them. They haven't got a clue what they are talking about.
AdSense pays 61% of AdWords bid rate.
Go to your AdWords account (log in is same as your AdSense, if you have one you have both) click on "Tools" > "Keyword Planner"
In the Keyword planner, type in any keyword (tag) that you use in your videos. It'll give you a list of relevant similar keywords, tell you how many search it receives each month, and more importantly it tells you the bid rate.
The bid rate is the cost the advertiser pays per click to AdWords. AdSence in turn pays you 61% of that.
In other words if the bid rate is $1. That means the advertiser pays Google $1 per click and Google in turn pays you .61c per click.
Bid rates start at .01c and can go up to several thousands. There exist keywords where the advertiser pays $5,000+ per click. Meaning if you get clicks on your video from that particular keyword, YouTube would pay you $3,050 for ONE CLICK on just ONE VIEW of your video.
High paying keywords are rare, so it doesn't happen often.
MOST keyword bids are under .50c per click, MANY are under .10c per click. meaning that MOST often you get paid only .06c to .30c per click. Which for MOST creators translates into about $1 per 1,000 views.
For everybody who makes $1/1000 there are just as many making .20c/1000 and as many making $100/1000.
$1/1000 is the AVERAGE, meaning the bell curve center that MOST people can expect, but it also means that there are also lower and higher pays, and some are extremely low or extremely high on the far ends of the bell curve.
If you are making .50c/1,000 views that simply means you are using low bid keywords to tag your videos with, as Google pays you per click, not per view.
Most people AVERAGE $1 per 1,000 views, because most people are using low performing keywords that advertisers only pay .01c per click. Yet there exist keywords that pay $100 or more per click. Try using those high bid keywords in your tags and you'll see a dramatic increase in your ad income without any increase in your view counts at all.
If you want to try to use "Keyword SEO" to target higher advertiser bid rates, you need to use AdWords Keyword Planner Tool, search for your target keyword, filter the search results to show by highest bid rate, and then use ONLY keywords of $1 or more per bid rate, striving for $5 or more keywords (which pay you $3.50 per click) and if you can find them use the $20 to $30 keywords. (Keywords over $30 are rare, but you can find them if you are persistent enough in searching for them.)
You can increase both your pay and your views, simply by changing your tags and targeting high bid keywords. Try it. It works.
**SOURCE: I'm a Keyword SEO Internet Marketer; a job I've had since 1997; I do YouTube as a hobby; I have not yet focused on it as an income, though it is something I plan to do this summer, after I reach 2,000 subs. It's pointless to do it until you have enough subs to make it worth your while. Content Writing Using KeyWord SEO is my full time job, AdSense is my full time income. I write daily articles, each one targeting a keyword, drive it to #1 on page 1 of Google search engines. I've written 6,000+ articles this way. I have one article that brings in $200 a month, just that one article, using this method. It works on YouTube as well, I tested it out last month and took an 8 month old video with 300 views to 25,000 views in the space of 3 weeks, doing nothing but keyword targeting it's tags to increase views. I'm about to go through all 600 of my videos and do the same thing with the rest of them.**
YouTube income is down because 250+ of the top paying advertisers (including Wall Street Journal, Coke, Pepsi, Starbucks, WalMart, AT&T, BBC, General Motors, Chrysler, CNN, Johnson&Johnson, and 250 other companies) just pulled out funding from AdSense and are boycotting Google & YouTube... I wrote more on that HERE.
