Eurofurence 23: The Aftermath!
8 years ago
Incoming Transmission Slowpoke Loque! Wanted to write down a journal about my experiences since three weeks but the week flow kinda kept me! So here it finally is, the experience of my first ever Furry Con!
Travel/Arrival: So the travel there went pretty smooth, we had the ICE to Berlin which we stayed in the whole 600km of distance. Getting to the hotel was also pretty easy, it's just one of the buses.
I'm actually glad we arried there on monday already. There were already a lot of people there! Not many we already knew but there was
blainebordercollie who is always nice to talk to.
Monday to wednesday were pretty much party all day, also explored the city a bit were in a diner and also in the Berlin Animal Park with
zephyrfrost and a couple of other people.
The only bummer: I rekt my Surface Pen V3 while being in the train, watch out not to put them in the wrong way! Bought a Bamboo Ink, these Pens are an awesome alternative!
During the Con: So during the con I was mostly Busy doing art stuff. Hung around a lot with
werwoz, the restaurants in the vicinity of the hotel are also pretty nice. Been to the Life Drawing panel run by
scale which made me decide to finally buy a pair of glasses, I couldn't make out any features on
stigmata 's body (at that point I wasn't aware that one of the models was in fact him!)
Getting to the Panel in time was a close call, had to hang my pieces inside the artshow. There were people having needed three hours for that and I was like *wooosh* and left a bunch of images on the walls so I won't miss drawing naked people x)
Before that I was at the artist alley, luckily someone left after I was going there and I could build up my stand. On the second day I went there earlier and got the chance to sit between my awesome people
xiara
lunakia and also later
kapviq (the #1 bestest Larry, yoo)
Sales were surprising in some way, the prints in the artshow sold very well and I also got my commission slots full with sketches pretty quick in the alley. Also suprised about the feedback I got from other artists. Also met
pattarchus there, he was one of the people supervising the Artist Alley. And also got this super nice caricature of me by
nisrii!
Also had a nice round of DnD with
kelarod,
peachythe-lynx and midnight flow. Roleplaying like that is really valuable for art! Hope we can sometime continue doing that.
Been also visiting panels of
stigmata and
jeanwoof. There I finally met
caraid, she is really a super nice person! Really awesome to talk to. And don't forget
cocofox, that guy is soooo much fun, you really have to meet this crazy french guy totally had a blast every time I saw him which was pretty often xD Really interesting how some of the people you meet three times a day xD
So, I hope you enjoyed reading my impressions of the con! If I missed out something or someone, I'm very sorry! I've met so many awesome people at some point I simply lost count and don't know where to put them all xD Just feel loved whoever you are ;D
So tl:dr : Loved. Every. Minute.
