Oh MAN I wish I was going! Hope you get to teach lots of people :3

Turn-out was pretty good, yeah! Thanks, and sorry we missed you

:(((( teach me your ways

Haha, that's the point of the panel!

i would definitely pay you for a bit of personal art coaching and advice
unfortunately, travel is out of the question and i simply can't make it to this panel

woe is me
keep up the excellent art!

Not to turn this into a shameless plug, but have you seen my tutorial book from Furplanet? A lot of the stuff I cover in the panels is written in there, and it also comes with pretty pictures u_u If you're curious, it's available here!

I'll see your shameless plug and raise you a request for an update edition. You've improved dramatically since 2008

Gah, no kidding -- I had occasion to flip through a copy of the book at the con and was kind of horrified at some of the pieces in there

But yes! I would love to put together another volume! One of a few projects I'd like to tackle at some point this year as time allows <3

Don't be too hard on yourself I'd say. Your style was charming at the time, and if I remember correctly, still quite popular!

I try to remember that when older work looks hideous to me, it's because I'm that much more pleased with my newer work!

But yeah, haha, still a little jarring <3

let me just cry while I sit at home wishing I was there

So long as you're drawing while you do it, you can feel free to sit and cry all you like <3 Keep it coming, dude!

I wish I was going so I could go to these panels. ): I really love your design and compositions and I'd love to learn from you!

Thanks for the kind words, at least! Sorry you couldn't make it.

That looks so much fun

I had fun, anyway!

oh man, really wish i could be there to see these. hope they go well!

Thanks, dude! I had fun doing them, so I'm gonna call that a success!

Can't wait to be there :)

It was great to have you there!

dangit I really wanted to go to learn D:

Sorry, dude!

Sweet.
Are you planning on recording?

Sorry dude, I don't know that anyone recorded them >_<

Which font is this?

Tommaso!

Cheers!

u designy bastard i wish i could sit in

Would've been great to have you! Meanwhile, keep churning out those awesome sketches and animations, man!

You intend on doing this at any other cons in the future? Pity I can't make it ths year T.T

FC is usually the only con I attend, but if I wind up going to any others, I could totally see doing a similar panel(s)!

Very nice!

Thanks!

Maybe next time!

Auuugghh, I really wish I was going! Maybe next time. Have a great time!

Hopefully see you next time, then!

I cannot wait! Thank you so much for setting up another great pair of panels.

Hey, thanks for attending them! Wouldn't be as much fun without an audience, haha <3

I'm officially jealous of people who can see this

Maybe we'll see you next time, haha

Make that a next next next next next time

Done!

We're stacked on Saturday, but I'll try to stop in on Sunday! It'll be good to see you. :)

It was good getting to sit in on yours this year, dude! Hopefully my realtime interpreting in the back wasn't too loud/distracting. You put on a great show!

Thank you SO much for being there! I felt terrible that I missed your later panel -- it was the only time I could sit down for dinner with Lyon. :(
I wanted to ask about the translating, too. A guest, I assume? I think it's awesome that you were keeping up with my motormouth, honestly.
It was great to see you, however briefly. You were looking great, as usual!

It was  gamma-g! He came out to see what an American con was like, and then I showed him around the city for a few days after.

And totally no worries -- good to see you doing well, too, even if it was from across the room, haha. Take it easy!

Last year's panel was very informative. I hope you'll have a decent projector this time.

The projection setup worked great this year, yeah! Haha, last year was pretty epic...

I attended one of your panels, too busy with art show and other stuff I missed the others.

You're very didactic and a pleasure to listen to. I liked your discussion about composition,
arrows, negative space. I'll have to look at some of my successful photos to see if I just
break all the rules or use them intuitively.

Nice! Glad you enjoyed it, and I hope it was helpful!

And I guess so long as they're successful photos, it doesn't really matter either way! I find mostly those sorts of guidelines are helpful for cases where your work isn't going so smoothly, as they let you sort of troubleshoot what's going on.

I wish I was there, WAHH
if you have time, an online version would be so cool n stuff ;__;

I'll see what I can do! Maybe I can make some more step-by-step process things for pics I upload that'll have some of this info.

I 2nd this motive

You are doing this today and I am super sad I can't be there. No doubt you'll kill it :)

At the very least, I can say IT didn't kill ME -- I'm calling that a win!

If only I could go!

Maybe next time!

It was SO helpful to see this! I plan on utilizing some of the techniques you went over in Composition in my next big thingy :3 Thank you!!!

Sweet! Thanks for coming, and I can't wait to see what you cook up next!

Sad that I missed them! Hope they went well!

I certainly had fun, anyway! Thanks for the well-wishes

Any of those moving picture shows depicting this event?

Tragically, no! I was relieved and (if I'm being perfectly honest) slightly surprised that the technology I DID use all functioned properly for the entirety of both panels. Given my track record, that was far from a sure thing... I think trying to throw video recording into that mix would have been tempting fate

Next level shit graphic design right here.

Aw cheers, boss
