FC2010 - So Far
16 years ago
So far, its been a bit of a mixed bag XD
The con is TOTALLY worth it to come and hang out with people ive never met fac to face before, and meet a whole new cast of crazies i would never have had the please of meeting if i didnt go. But man, then panels... the PANELS! lol
So i missed ALL of the panels on Friday, basically fighting my way through the dealers den and the auction rooms, meanwhile having to ditch early cause Space and I needed to catch the ACE train back (6PM Commuter schedule)
So we rented a car and booked a room for tonight at the Sainte Claire (where im sitting in the business center of right now) so we didnt miss any of the late night stuff.
Right so, the first panel i attend at a furry con? What else other than the "Canine" panel. I mean, my fursona is a pure Coyote breed (just Grey). Unfortunately the person that was supposed to run the panel, never showed up. Probably dog drunk/hungover ;) it was at 1PM if im not mistaking. If not earlier.
Anyways, also, almost no one showed up. There were maybe 12 of us in the room, including Space, Kaz, and MDTailz. Space is a Tiger Hedgehog Protoss thing, Kaz is a Wolf ..and something else (brain has shut down, forgive me), and MDTailz is a Kitsune.
So what do you gt when there is no leader, and a room partially filled with furries? Anarchy really. It was fun watching 3 different furs trying to do something at the presenter table. Total chaos, and there was a single casualty: the table skirt. Got ripped clean off due to the shenanigans XD
The second thing i attended, was the photoshop panel. I kinda figured i wouldnt learn much new when it comes to Photoshop. Im very technically proficient with the software itself,. but this panel had me interested to see how someone else paints digitally aside from myself.
I come from an Animation background, so my drawing process involves starting off with a blue stick figure, then blocking out the anatomy, drawing in the lined details, then coloruing and calling it a day.
This dude obviously has a traditional painting background, because aide from layers and SOME use of Adjustment layers, this guy was doing everything via painting and a brush that emulated an actual paintbrush.
it was pretty cool to watch beginning to end. But again, learned almost nothing unfortunately :\
After that decided to hit up the Smash bros tourney, i figured id be there a while. While im confident im my non-n00bish skills in Smash bros, i was still knocked out in the first round. I guess in a 1v1v1v1, it doesnt make any sense to go after the dude with the most lives, eh? no, knock out the dude whos already losing as your losing yourself. Thats an effective strategy.
*sigh* i swear i was the only one who knew what he was doing during that match, but because i was being sensible, it cost me 2 solid lives, and thus i lost (stock 3, 3min time limit btw)
And so here i am, Space and Kaz went to the dance thing going on, i grabbed a coffee and some cheese cake from the Bakery/Cafe thing, MD and .. (shit i forget his name) joined me until the place closed, i checked back into the room, and came down here to print off some reference sheets for tommorrows Sketch Commission scavenger hunt (my main goal tommorrow: $100 in sketches).
Also, i commissioned, i think Ruki is her name, or something, i have the name on the dealers map, will make it a point to write it down tommorrow XD Full color commission for $70. Im stoked to see how it turned out, her stuff blew me away.
The fairmont, is amazingly cool. And its very nice to see even the staff getting into it (wearing ears, saw one donning a tail even) it makes the whole experience so much more comfortable.
Anyways, thats it for now, maybe ill write more tommorrow, who knows, ill be attending a few of the panels tommorrow. Such as Basic Body Construction (mostly outta curiosity), ... Poses and Expressions (need to work on muzzle expressions, both realistic and cartoony), oh ya and the little thing known as Furry Night Live! You know.. the thing i CAME to the CON to SEE? XD
And yeah, i must run now, lates all!
oh and Hello from California! 8D
