General
Hey everyone, i'm back from FC~
it was definitely a convention to remember, I really didn't want to leave when we did! I'm definitely considering going next year!
The convention area itself was pretty small (at least compared to fanime) because it was only a 1/3 of the convention center and then the hotel area.
There was a dealers den, which is basically where all the artists and dealers gathered together and sold stuff in one hot room. It was a little hectic with that small space.
There was also a creators lounge for artists to get together and draw on nice big tables, but unfortunately it turned into people turning seats into commission booths and there were never any free seats because people were always there drawing for commissions or advertisement. Kinda disappointed it turned out like that but oh well.
I was also surprised how many fursuiters there were, it was an honest 50/50! Now onto what happened everyday~
Friday:
Arrived at the con around 7ish after getting off the bus and checking into the hotel. Looked around some (though most things were closed) and met up with
Lazywulf101 for the first time with his boyfriend
tigurpaw We didn't see them for very long though, and met up with
Tairupanda and
orangetavi to watch the fursuit dance off (which was pretty damn amusing, I must say).
Saturday:
Went straight to the con and checked out the dealer's den and met up with
Ali_teigar for a while and then met up with Tairupanda and Orangetavi to watch the fursuit parade. It was pretty cool, there sure were a lot of them! and immeaditely afterwards I met
Kamui and
gamma-g (which was super cool ;w; I wish I could have talked to them again, especially on sunday because gamma was giving out free doujin and underwear ;A;). Afterwards, we all went to yogurtland and met
gazpacho and
kumagoroshi (you both are awesome dudes!) I think there was a bunch of wandering around before going to
Kamui's panel about composition and illustration. (which was pretty awesome! I really wanted to go to Kamui's color theory panel too but it was sunday night, many hours after I left the con) and then had dinner and then went to the masquerade (it was ok, not as amusing as the dance contest). After all this we went back to my room and played some super smash brothers melee (I WANT TO 1v1 WITH GAZ)
After that we left Peanut to work, and went to check out the dance. We stayed there for 2 minutes (not our thing I guess haha) and then arranged to meet up with
analon tomorrow to have a big drawing circle~
Sunday:
Got up and had jack in the box (mmmmmmmm~ and also where we met Starwolf, sorry I don't know your FA ><;;;) and went to the dealer's den to buy some stuff/meet up with
Lazywulf101 , and I bought a lackadaisy poster and three furry mouth bandanas (one for me, Peanut, and Tairupanda) and then started our imaginary drawing table party. It started out being me,
Tairupanda,
OrangeTavi ,
Analon ,
Lazywulf101 ,
gazpacho , and LearlessFeader. After a while our circle of a couple people drawing in each other's sketchbooks turned into a GIANT CIRCLE of people trying to meet all of us and all draw together (which is exactly what the creators lounge should have been <<;;) and I got a lot of awesome sketches in my sketchbook ;w; I'm really really happy I got a chance to draw with you all, thank you everyone! Sadly when the circle started getting really huge, it was time for me and Peanut to leave the con (we were pretty frustrated we had to go after starting a really awesome circle). And on the bus we met
wafflebird and
mcoco ! Hello~
Also as a side note to everyone in the cirlce, Peanut still missed his class ;w; but oh well.
So thank you all for being there and being awesome! it was a con i'll never forget!
I hope to chat with you all soon and maybe do this all again next year ;w;/
(I'll be looking at all your pretty drawings in my sketchbook for DECADES)
Also lastly, thank you
omegaro for doing a filler comic so that I can work on a project this week, it's GREATLY apprieciated and i'll find a way to make it up to you~ Maybe i'll make a watercolor drawing of your fursona or something, we'll see~
Time to read from the Blacksad book I bought~ If you're still at FC, enjoy monday! See ya!
