It's been about a week now since ANE, and I wanted to write an entry about it to say that it was one of the best con experiences I've ever had! This was my first time tabling at a furry convention (I've done lots of indie comics cons before this, but never a furry con), and it went so, so much better than I was expecting it to. Sold tons of commissions, books, shirts, and stickers, and fully made back the cost of the trip. What more could I ask for, tbh??

I also got to host a panel, which I called "The Art of Making Adult Comics," pretty much about my process when drawing furry porn comics, which also went so much better than I expected! The timing of it was a little weird, at the same time as the Night Market which I knew was gonna be hella popular, so I figured it'd be a couple of people there at best. But a lot more people than I had thought still came and listened, and I got a lot of great feedback on it! If you're interested in the panel, I've posted the slideshow and transcript to my Telegram gallery, they're currently in the pinned post.

It was also just a good time in general! I saw so many friends in one place, went to some nice restaurants in the area, smooched my awesome partner a lot and watched them DJ the Night Market, got to try on a friend's fursuit and march around, did lots of cute sketchbook swaps with people... it was a great weekend!

This is all to say: I'm DEFINITELY going to be actually tabling at more furry cons in the future. I'm for sure doing ANE again, but I'm also planning on hosting that same panel at Furthemore later this year. Plus, I've applied to the Artist's Alley for Anthrocon, and I think I'm going to try Furpocalypse, as well. So, look out for those, I guess! And thanks so much to everyone that came by my booth at ANE and said hi or picked up some stuff.

Oh, I'm also planning on setting up an online store to sell copies of Shiny's Mystical Shop of Wonders, among other things, since that was also way more popular than I expected it to be! So, look out for that too. :03
