Back from EF !
10 years ago
Hey there ! Just a quick journal to say I'm back from EF21, and that therefore, I'm gonna start posting stuff again real soon, starting with the few pics I did for the con's art show and a few comms I sketched at the artist alley.
So, first of all this was my first furry convention, so it was quite a big surprise for me, but definitely a good one. I spent almost all my time at the artist alley sketching all day and I wasn't staying at the hotel so I only saw half of the con I guess, but it was enough to make me love it all the way anyway and it also totally convinced me to get myself a fursuit someday ! x) It was nice meeting new people so thanks to the few of you I had the opportunity to chat a bit with, you guys are awesome. ^^
As for the con itself, I made a lot of mistakes before and during this con (like rushing my art show pics, starting to work on them in july/august, not bringing any of my art books to display on my table at the artist alley, doing colored commissions instead of bigger black and white sketches, not knowing the usual prices for comms etc) but it's actually a good thing cause it taught me a lot, so yeah, next year I'll bring my books, prepare things a bit more and be more professional, and most of all if I get another spot at the art show, I'll bring better pics, cause I definitely feel like I haven't worked enough on the ones I brought with me this year. They weren't terrible, but they definitely weren't as good as what I could've done, and therefore it doesn't really surprise me I only sold like 5 out of 12 pics. ^^'' The artist alley was a great experience though, and to be honest, I wouldn't have thought I'd be fully booked every day. Plus, working on comms made me draw stuff and/or poses I don't usually do, so that was totally awesome. ^^
So yeah, all in all, this con was a great experience for me. My friends and I totally loved it (which is funny since two of them aren't even furs, including the one who won the poker tournament xD) and we already planned to go back next year (though this time I guess we'll probably stay at the hotel, that'd be way easier for a lot of things… >.>) and since I really liked working on commissions, I've decided I'd start doing some as soon as possible, so I'll probably post a journal about that during the next few weeks. ^^
There, that's it for now, thanks again to all of you ! <3
