My return from AnthroCon 2024
a year ago
Oh, what a great year this was for AnthroCon! Not just in general (attendance over 17,000, charity donations over 100,000$ to Grey Paws Sanctuary)... but also on a personal level! I hosted my first panel ever, the International Furs Meetup, and it was very successful! Got to meet furs from all over the world, who made the trip to Pittsburgh for the weekend. And in return, many of them got to try out maple syrup candies for the first time. Figured it would be a very, heh, "sweet" idea especially for the folks who never had those before.
As usual, I take stock of all the stuff I got at the convention. Lots of boxes, lots of prints and commissions, lots of random stuff. I tried my best to list everything I purchased as I went around the Dealers' Den and Artists' Alley. Since I went around writing my wishlist really quick, I might have to decipher some of my chicken scratch, but in short: I tried to think of listing every artist as well.
Big things/boxes:
-The Pirate-themed Furry Mystery Box
-A Fursona Pins mystery box (included a very cute plushie!)
-A pet food bowl from Furryland (AKA Pizza Parma, who embrace the furry theme every year)
-A copy of the Here to Slay board game by Unstable Games
-The Scott Pilgrim VS The World Complete Edition game for the Switch bought at Static Claws' table
-A shirt from Hyena Agenda (my first time buying from them!)
-And the little elderly dog plushie from the Charity Table, with all proceeds going to Grey Paws Sanctuary.
Art prints:
-Toothless and Stitch by Tsaoshin
-Three "Across the Spider-Verse" prints from TriclopsRabbit (which I couldn't find online);
-This Quaquaval from UlarioGryphon
-This jedi raccoon from GoldenDruid
-This incredible library print from Zray!
-A greyscale city picture by
Stratica which I haven't found online
-Two prints from NeonSlushie: Plush Lucario and a harvesting mouse
-A Cyberpunk-inspired print from
TheLivingShadow
-A print (which I haven'ty found) by WaywardMutt showing the three Paldean starters together!
-A print of Blaze the Cat from an artist whose username I've unfortunately forgotten about.
Lots of stickers, some Starter Pokémon, some of various characters, a couple of free ones from Hyena Agenda...
Others:
-A Porygon figurine purchased at Static Claws
-Two Slowpoke figurines
-Three badges: "Crits happen", "House Pokémon" and "It's called a hustle, sweetheart"
Art commissions (will be updated with links to the pictures as they are posted to this FA gallery!). This year, for the most part, whenever I commissioned an artist, I would let them check through the copies of ref sheets and other art examples for each of my characters, and would let them pick the one they felt like drawing. This was Marjorie the Raven's lucky year!
-A picture of Marjorie by keenadraws (digital, therefore I won't receive it right away);
-A small picture of Marjorie by Remimakes
-A picture of Nicolas by
rueweko
-A cool art of Marjorie by
SavageShark
-Two sketches, one for each of my lesser-drawn characters Alexis the coyote and Chess the cat, both by
TheLivingShadow
-A halfbody shot of Nicolas the Lion by
HariKuran
And that's about it! Thanks again Pittsburgh for your welcoming of furries, and thanks AnthroCon! See ya next year, if all goes right!
