I'm late, as usual. I needed a day or two to gather my thoughts about AC to make a full report.

So, this was my very first AC and 2nd furry con that I've attended. I have to say that I had a complete blast being there and meeting tons of people and art peoples I've admired since I first stepped into the land of the internet. I got somewhat trapped at the Artist Alley for the first few days and didn't really get to have fun until like..Sunday, which made me a little sad because I had no idea socializing could be so much fun at a furry con and I WANTED TO DO MORE OF IT. It makes me sad, but at least I know how to manage my time better next year and for future larger cons. Overall, I really enjoyed myself and hope to attend AC next year! Now to mention some awesome people I met or spoke with or whatever I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO DO THIS.

and of course, I love my road bros here  dislocatedpenguin,  minimumtalent and  djsammehfox! We drove all the way from Sarasota to Pittsburgh. :D

Now, as for my current art status, I will be getting back on schedule with everyone's commissions after my week's hiatus. I need to take a breather and need a few days to gather myself together art-wise and re-fuel my inspiration gauge because I can feel it running a tad low. I hope this okay with everyone who's waiting on something from me! I kind of hate working when I feel slightly stressed. Don't worry though, I will get back to work once I'm on my feet again, I promise! (8 You should see commissions flowing through again as usual. I already updated my complete to-do list journal with my orders from AC and anything else that I owe anyone. Once I'm feeling recharged, I'll be ready to start plowing through my list again. If you have any questions, once again, please note me with any concern you may have. But as a heads up, I will be submitting 1 or 2 pieces of personal art before I get back to work.

If you ordered something from me at AC, and don't see your name under the AC list, please let me know ASAP! Just to let you all know, I will be starting on my older list first and doing ac orders inbetween my older commissions, however I assure you that all badges will be completed before Megaplex at the end of July. :3 I would like to have a clean con queue before I do any more artist alley work.

Now that that's out of the way, I have a question for all of you fursuit makers out there. So eh.

Yeah, me and Mur are thinking about learning how to make fursuits yeah? Going to AC only made this decision a definite FUCK YEAH LET'S GET STARTED. It's kind of funny to think about though, I used to be terrified of fursuits and now here I am wanting to make my own. I'm still creeped out by the really..horrible fursuits though kjhgsd I won't even get started on those.

So yeah, I kind of wanted to begin compiling a list of supplies to get started with and to budget out how much it's going to cost. I know it'll be a lot, which is why I'm being as cautious as possible and trying to gather up as much info as possible before I get started. I've already been plowing through the lj community for fursuits for some info, but that place is so cluttered I feel as though I can't find much at all. So I was wondering if any of you wouldn't mind lending me and Mur some advice on how to get started, what are the best places to buy materials from and maybe point us in the direction of some nice tutorials?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! <3
