Post Con...
14 years ago
...Depression. I guess that's how it can be categorized, but it's not so much the typical sadness that most feel. Instead, I feel...fury. Like, just completely pissed-off about coming back. I mean, yeah, I've got a few days off ahead of me (expect livestreaming, and lots of it!) and I'm not nearly as bothered by the thought of going back to work in the call center, I'm pissed off that I don't get the chance to remain as relaxed and surrounded by encouraging fans and friends as I was this weekend.
I was on a roll, too. I was drawing up a storm, getting to see for myself the smiles I put on people's faces as I hand them my work. I already missing the laughter of friends as we sit around making horribly inappropriate jokes and chowing on food that can barely qualified as edible. I'm PISSED at myself that I haven't gotten through that damned commission list below after whipping off pic after pic at the con without the usual indecision and doubt I'm normally wracked by. The flow of creativity was invigorating, and I feel myself clutching at it like a slick rope over a cliff.
I'm home.....and I'm pissed, because I never want that amazing, alive feeling to go away.
(Also, just hit 20,000 watches. Thanks, Torescula!)

Worse then post con funk from just being physically sick : p
Not quite the right atmosphere, but you could to private drawing skype chats with some clients, where you broadcast your work on the art, and they broadcast SMILING FACES! Though, that could be horrible o.o
Umm, Mallory and twins lesbian three way! That is the only other thing I have to offer in terms of cheering up o.o
I really wanted more of that furry love we can find there, the fun and the friends, encouragement D:
still, glad to have had a chance to admire your art and such. There's always a new chance to enjoy such events and I'm sure it will come back to you :3 don't feel bad, cheer up
There will be other cons, and you have now officially addicted me, so expect more clone-ness
Ironically also my full name initials. Not sure how I feel about that.
Anyway, it was cool meeting you. Thanks again for saving me a sketch slot, it was worth it 8D
This life right here is shit. It's boring...in a rut, same ol everyday. It was SO FUN to be across the tables at AA though....Took me a long while to say hi...then forgot what else to say when I actually said hi to you XDD...
>_> But yea, on our way home we just thought of how we never wanted to leave. I felt at ease and home with all my peers...
Glad we're not the only ones who think that.
But and extra day or two wouldn't hurt, geez, haha.
Good seeing you again though, you guys are fucking awesome.
But hey, life is one big con. Live in the moment. There's no point in getting pissed over something that's already passed. Just think of all the awesome times you have yet to experience. Meanwhile I'm sure you've got plenty of commissions to preoccupy yourself with, put that energy to use.
Alternatively, you could always start your own con. You'd be surprised what can happen with a pile of sticks and a bucket of rum in a vacant park at 2 in the morning.
As for making progress on your commission list, it's not like I was helping matters, sitting on it for the longest time without getting anything to you. At least I've recently rectified that situation.
durr
Between this and AC, I'm not finding many reasons to keep selling at cons. =_=
As soon as I saw your name on the Artist Alley posting I sought you out but you were already full, and I never managed to snag a sketch myself! But it was cool to see the man behind the tiger and all the great art!
Never been able to go to one, and since I live in New Zealand, the chances of going to a "real" con are beyond low.. ugh..
P.S. for everyone who hasn't met strype, he is definitely scary and super srs and totally an asshole. For real. He made me tremble with fear and I definitely think I might have peed a little over how intimidating he is.
2. This year I had something waiting for me at home that eradicated Post Con Depression. >.>
Also thank you for the free weenie.
Man that food was so bad. We ate it all anyway though. SUSTENANCE.
You are truly blessed by the fist!
Drinking comics
True, true.
Over here in dear ol' Blighty? We get jack =/
If you want to talk con stuff let me know and we can shoot the breeze to drag your mind off stuff if you wish, if not hope to see you dealing at FE with your artyness
Gaia bless
