Got to see familiar faces and meet new ones.
The cosplay was likewise an interesting hodgepodge. Gone are the legions of ninjas and shinigami. Rather, one or two series didn't completely dominate the cosplay. I saw a lot of variety, hell, I saw like 5 Waldos alone. Lots of Grells, and impressive showing of Adventure Time as well as a rise in American comic cosplay. Lots of DC and some Marvel cosplay (especially Deadpool <3). A lot of Batman related cosplay (without that many actual Batmans). I enjoyed steampunk Wolverine and Deadpool.
A LOT more steampunk, which made me happy and sad. Happy 'cause I love steampunk, sad because almost no one looked at my steampunk jewelry or hand painted gun. I did sell some, thank you very much I hope everyone is very happy with their purchases. I will admit, I think lack of proper signage to indicate some steampunk available here, could also be at fault.
However, I don't think I'll hand paint a maverick for sell any time soon. I spent HOURS and HOURS of work into it. And while most people appreciated it, many didn't want to pay the price for my hard work. It looks different from other mavericks because the paint job was probably ranging 4-8 layers, not including the multiple finish layers to protect the paint job. Or the hand painted highlights and added steampunk bits. Sir, I hope you truly enjoy it, as it was much labor and love went into it. May you come up with a delicious history to explain the various battle scars and origins of how you and the gun survived (and triumphed).
Shout out to cool peeps: Thankyouthankyouthankyou,
I kept coming in late and didn't want to disturb ya'll in the room, I'm so sorry if I was loud. Spent 2 of the 3 nights sharing a bed. Spent one on the floor with a pillow...oops, forgot to ask for extra blankets. XD;;; Thanks,
I slept 16 hours Monday. Fell asleep early Monday night and slept another 10-11 hours Tuesday. I was seriously wiped at the end of A-kon. Celebrated a quiet birthday with family. Got a neat black and white rice paper shogi screen for my apartment.
To everyone who commissioned me, thank you. I hope you got what you wanted and more. I'm especially grateful to give life (or at least my interpretation) to your OCs. I love doing OC work as you could probably tell. And to everyone who commissioned me and are still waiting for them, please be patient as I am working on them throughout the week and possibly into next week. But I'll mail them all out at once either at the end of this week or during next week. As mentioned, I will properly email/text/IM/CONTACT YOU beforehand to indicate it is en route.

I got a commission, buuuut I lost some of my cards/got them mixed up, so I'm not sure if I had gotten it from you.. OTL OTL
But I do remember the person I got it from said they would ship it to me when it was completed. SO~ I am trying to figure out who that person is. xD
..That was pretty vague, and not really a question. .___.
Umm, I guess what I'm asking is, are you still working on commissions? I'm kind of panicking trying to find the right person. >w<
Yes, yesh. I *AM* still working on it, it's on my second desk right now...the two Mikis (Vocaloid and Idol Master). They're singing with arms linked. Please don't panic, I'm sorry I'm so slow at getting these out. TT_____TT I planned to get them done in the first two weeks or so after the con, but work's been stupidly busy (and horrifically understaffed) that I come home and end up napping (I NEVER nap) and then, suddenly, it's the next day. >___>;;; But we've hired new people and they can actually do stuff now, so it's somewhat less stressful.
If you want, I can scan the pencils so you can see the wip, I'm sorry you're stressed, because I understand you did pay money and you DO definitely want to see the results of that.
Oh, and I'm sorry if I sounded pushy!! I'm in no rush at all, feel free to take as much time as you need. :3 I understand it's a lot of work! <3
..I kind of want to see the progress, but I don't want to stress you out any more that you must already be. So no worries!! :3 As I said, take your time, I'm not panicking anymore. xD
You doin' Afest?
Cool, I hope we ALL make it next year. Are you going to hit up Animefest? I look forward to Afest 'cause I can catch up more with artists during that convention. XD Hope you got to rest up some after A-kon.
Cool, see you at A-fest! Take care yourself. ^^
