Terra

So a bit of a fast summary since I'm on dial-up (D:)

We won the Masquerade Ball costume contest, so got to go on stage curing the BIG costume contest (And IMO might have had a chance there as well) and generally got a billion pictures taken of us i9n our Akatsuki corsets (If anyone here is up on fansviews or cosplay.com or anything, you should post them here for me if you find them)

I also got plenty of picture in my Naruto costume, which made me super happy since like...there were 896986 Narutos. And I found a super fabulous Naruto tail buddy (We both had fox tails) but I didn't get his info. Sad day.

Our pirates were fun to, but Sunday between getting out of the hotel and getting out of artist alley, I was at the con about 5 minutes.

AND I MISS SARAH ALREADY D: She had to go home Sunday for her final.

There were a lot of cool people, but I was sad cause...IDK the Artist Alley, people felt like customers not other fans. There were too many, and they were doing so much...shopping? Like...IDK. I did not get as much time to like...greet people and such as I would have liked. But our buddies in AA were cool, and we made a good chunk of money, and learned a lot (bright colors on display, and people at bigger cons wanna buy pre-made things, not commission shit. Which was nice cause me and Ju made a lot selling art, and don't have a ton of work to do). Some people from Viz came and gushed over our stuff and took our card, and we traded Gert prints with the colorist from Runaways (Christina Strain) AND bitched about Gert chub with her.

I got lots of awesome swag, mostly wearing things. A cool pair of little foam wings (Me and Ju are gonna flip our corsets and do girly Kamui and Fuuma, so we bought wings for it), a Shinra Staff t-shirt, we got a set of these really cool Kingdom Heart T-shirts made like...sports t-shirt? Like...it has a big 8 on the back with Axel, and Oraganization certfied clothing on the front. Is cool. An anbu mask, a fox hat, a fox tail (That I realized was real after I bought it D:. It makes me super sad it's real, and I'm not sure what to do about it, but it's already bought), and a cute pair of orange and blue foxxy ears from Kiona :3 I tried to find TTGL to buy because it came up unreasonably a lot this con, and I figured that was a sign from god, but it was like $80 for the whole set. And I didn't spend too much \o/

And Mana totally grooved on Bev's spidery corset outfit. They ended up in the elevator together, and he whispered to his translator to tell her.

And I think this is already super teal deer so ♥

GAH. So Preston linked me to this. Which lead to this

And that artist in question, who dealing to have all these tables? Ramy of the "I have 800 picture with ALL the same face.

No really. it's mesmerizing.

I'm really regretting not going up to him at Anime Expo and telling him he is everything wrong with anime fanart. Because now not only is he stylistically screwing over the fanart community, he's literally doing it.*

The worst is apperantly he's a REALLY good artist and just doesn't use it.
