FWA 2016 wrap up!
9 years ago
I've actually been back from FWA since last Sunday, I've just finally now had a chance to catch my breath and write! I had to go right back into work when I returned on Monday, so being thrown back into a full-time 40hr work week after a con is exhausting!
I arrived with
Nazear on Thursday and immediately was stressed out by the check-in/traffic situation. Even though we live south of Atlanta, and actually were in midtown for a few years, I have to keep reminding myself of just how utterly awful traffic is in Atlanta. :P We survived and were able to get set up in the Dealer Den without too much trouble!
In the Dealer room on each day, we noticed that traffic and business was really slow in the mornings and early afternoons, then seemed to pick up significantly towards the afternoon, usually after 1pm or 2pm. Though I still got quite a lot of work that kept me busy all con (Kovah lost so much sleep because I was staying up late to work on badges in the room), I would have preferred it spread out a little more evenly. :P
I met some really cool people who stopped by my table! I can't recall all of them, but many thanks to
yamatoiouko,
arrowman,
whitewulf,
decemberrain and
morpheushusky, Urso and Serai,
azulangel, ShadowPuppeh and RebelSheppy,
toddwolfox and
christofur~, Frank the Husky, and everyone who stopped by my table just to talk! I had some great conversations with people from all over! It was great to see
daggerleonelli who I have known from waaaay back in my Lion King fanart days and has continued to do art and become amazing!
I also want to promote
goldendruid and
talenshi who are both fantastic! Kovah and I got badge commissions from them (I think this is our first con actually splurging on some art) and we are really excited to see how they turn out! Both of these artists are incredibly talented, SUPER nice and pleasant to talk to, and just such a positive influence to have at the con.
For the folks that requested take-home commissions, I have a public queue posted here on Trello: https://trello.com/b/cAwkMIuB/commissions-wip If anyone wants a step removed or made private, please let me know and I will do so!
Overall, great con! I'm happy to have gone and can't wait for next year! I am already making plans for AnthroCon this year and hope to make improvements to my table/set up so I can do even better! :D Thanks everyone!
Edit: Kovah caught strep throat from the con. :( Just got diagnosed and put on antibiotics today. Be careful because this is probably going around the con!

I'm hoping to be able to go next year myself as well. I know how you feel as far as work goes. I'll be glad when Sun morning gets here! XD
Hopefully Kovah will get better quickly too.
And you are most welcome. (:
Thank you so much for the image and badge, as well! :3
Thank you so much for the well wishes and for commissioning me! I'm going to work this weekend on getting the scanned lines to you and your full res badge! Just been a crazy week and it's been hard to get to art stuff (our dog Puppeh got sick Monday, so I was taking care of two very sick sweeties all week lol) Thanks for everything, you rock!
You're welcome, thank YOU for taking my commissions and doing so well on them, and be well! :D
