It was a delight to meet so many new folks and to reconnect with old friends at AC last weekend. Swapping sketchbooks and talking with other artists while we doodle is my favorite con activity, and I was very fortunate to have so many opportunities to do it.

phylum started things off with a Gentlewaff, as pink as the blush that highlights his face. PierreZaius's drawings of my character get more reflective of my actual person every time we meet, including my beard, hairstyle, and eight-inch tongue. Above Crazy-Ass Dact are a variety of airplane and snout iterations, including the inhalation-powered SCHNOZair (nice text, btw) and a Epaulet/Plaid shirted Pierredacteur, merged much to the delight of larathelabrat. shag gave me the cutest lil' Shagdact dude, and fvorte succeeded in giving me my first flustering of AC with his very, very big wolf guy... ///uwu///

shojihero and I swapped books during an impossibly large dinner party at Indian Palace, and he laid out his own fantastical world of distinctive dudes. eilavue's rendering of my character in her style looks as soft and cuddly as the masterful fursuits she makes. deige provided a handy guide for ocular issues.

rampack asked if I had any requests, and I asked for lions, for a friend. Maned or not, they all turned out very cute. cell-deer's existential wolves need not ask about their lives; any observer can see that their confident gestural lines point to a solid existence. matuska conveyed the softest, most tender wolf-bear cuddle session I've seen in a long time.

It was a pleasure to meet and hang out with all of you and many others, and I hope to see you all again soon! I'm so humbled and thrilled to have hung out with such amazing folks. Much love to you gorgeous people. :3
