Eurofurence 2014 - Aftermath Dragon

Well, post con depression has hit me hard, very hard, before I even got into my own house. It has been a very fun convention and one that was thought provoking too.
The new hotel in Berlin was big, very big, just enough to wriggle my toes in there but this made it more difficult to find friends. The massive crowds may have also made it more difficult as thousands of furries were bouncing around everywhere. I am not sure what the numbers were to be precise but I would not be surprised if they surpassed over 2000. The entertainment was good too with some of the shows well deserving of an applause.
All was not perfect however as the new hotel and larger attendance created horrible teething issues. Queues were bad and many of the events were delayed (The Paw Pet Show was delayed by over 2 hours.) making this one of the most stressful conventions I have been to. This being said, I imagine much can be attributed to teething problems with the new hotel and one hopes that next year will see an improvement.
This convention I did a lot of drawing as I must have drawn at least 2 sketches a day. I was inspired by that weekend after having met some old friends but this also made me think. I do not want to be stuck with my current job of data entry and perhaps, if I could pull myself together, I could make a living off commissions but this means I need to draw a lot more often than what I do right now.
Alas, I do not have time to relax for I have work the very next day. Thanks again to everyone at Eurofurence!

But yeah.. post depression hit when i got home too.
Gonna go again next year though~
But it would be great if you could make a living with comissions. Maybe you should think of a table at dealers den next year?
Glad parts of it were enjoyable? ^^"
