Back from Nom-Con!
13 years ago
Hey guysss~
So this weekend I was at a convention here in Ireland and it went really well! I made some monies, won the digital category in the art contest and got my hands on a print by two of my favourite artists ;u;! Just wonderful~
Though the con was only on over the weekend I actually left home last Tuesday and only got back this evening so ah, sorry for not replying to messages and stuff! (My inbox is so full aaah!) I'm kinda tired right now but I'll get on that tomorrow morning :) Though I promise I'll post this week's No Pride update before I go to sleep~
Oh, also! Something I noticed recently that I thought was kinda interesting - In the last year on-the-day sketch commissions have become more and more of a staple part of my convention income. But in the last two conventions (I try to get to as many cons as possible haha) I've been getting an unusual number of comms of first; people's pets, then it was people as anthros or their fursonas. It's not that I mind! In fact I love it since they almost always have a great ref with them and I don't have to go scouring the trade hall for a picture of some anime character I've never heard of. It's just that I have never really thought of myself as an anthro artist. I thought that was just something I did on the side to help myself get better at animals in general. Maybe I should re-evaluate what I focus on as an artist. HMMMMM
Anyway, love you guys! Thanks so much to everyone who came to say hi to me and a big air-kiss to those who bought something from me >u<
Love you all!!

awwh thanks ;u; <3
You're right ;u; I think I just got myself confused by trying to put a label on myself too quickly :) I still have so much time to really find my niche. If i ever really find it! Maybe I'll keep sticking my fingers in as many pies as possible XD
Nah you're right, I should start branding myself more :)!
Awwwh shucks you're way too kind! I still have soo much to learn about art and my voice, but thank you!
That is true, I don't think I'm doing any defying yet but a genius definitely is someone who ends up creating new labels since we humans just like to classify and box things to help us understand them. But they tend to break some old, stale ones in the process :)
