AWA and Roster Update of Pure Awesome
16 years ago
General
So for my AWA report.
I've never actually simply just "visited" a con before. But it was quite fun. But I found myself in the same place I usually am. The Artist's Alley lol. The only place I'm really actually interested in. If it weren't for the art in the furry fandom, and the artists alley at anime cons, I would NEVER go and would NEVER be in the fandom.
So I took my little tote back of artfolios, sketchbooks, and sketching materials and drove over to the Cobb Galleria, registered and made my way to the artists alley X3.
I was there around 8 am to get in line for registration so I was a little tired but still excited. I knew I was going to see a lot of people I knew. And I brought just enough cash to do so.
The big slice of awesome
meglyman was there at her own table selling her wares. It was so cool to see someone who quite possibly had the most unique and most adventurous selection of art ( one of the many reasons I admire her work) getting so appreciated. She allowed me to come to her table back and forth during the con and rest me and my little tote back there. It was really cool.
In the mean time, when we met in the morning, and while I was prepared to pay for a sketch in my sketchbook she said "how about a sketch trade?" Amazingly flattered I gladly obliged. She is now the proud owner of a cephalopod (spelling?) BraveOne heehee. I also now have quite possibly one of the most adorable pics in existance of Sake Woozle waving at a little squid in the water. heeheeheee.
So I made my way around and found people who had been at my first con ( people like Dizziness http://dizziness.deviantart.com/ ) Danny Valentini ( of 2wconline.net ) and of course my brother (kuroitora.deviantart.com )
Danny was kind enough to accept a commission from me at the con and so now I have an awesome sketch from him that he REALLY went the extra mile on in my sketchbook.
tamarik managed to find me lurking around Danny's table and had commissioned me to draw in his sketchbook ( again, it's really flattering to get recognized at a con and then get asked for a sketch commission while i'm not even set up) So I was happy to oblige to earn a few extra bucks.
here's the sketch: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2817134
So I returned to home base ( meglyman's table ) and pestered her more about art and what not. Bless her for putting up with me. But we were able to talk shop, color anatomy, etc. She was so nice :3
Anyway,
to EVERYONE that was at AWA thank you sooooo much for making it such a pleasant experience. I do expect to return to it once again as an artist :3

That DOES sound like a very flattering experience, being recognized and wanting art from. :)
As much as I LOVE art in general, including furry art, it's kinda weird when I go to cons. When I go to a con, I actually feel like not doing any art at all. I even don't even think about art much at all at a con. I think because cons have become more of a vacation from art, for me. But I HAVE been considering attending a con "as an artist" someday.... I mean for one, it'd help financially. :P
You're lucky you sketch fast though. ;3
Anyways, always good when you have a good time! :)
