Otakon is DONE. It was pretty awesome. I shared a table with Mayshing, and Chris shared with Nicole not far away. My sales were pretty bad compared to AN because the artist alley was HUGE and everyone in it were pros, but I still did profit quite a bit so I am fine with that. I got to meet a bunch of awesome people, though i met most of them on my way out of the Alley when the con was closing rofl )= cus I didn’t have many chances to get away from the table; my partner was so busy doing portraits that she got a line/crowd going LOLOL. I get to leech business from her.
The few times that I went out, I saw soooo many DA artists, like hiku, Budgie, Ruina, Ramy, Korilin, Toby, a bunch of people that I didn’t know the names of. Since the convention and the alley are both huge, it’s not surprising that people come from everywhere. I was so happy that a lot of people who knew me from DA came and said hi. It was also funny to hear ppl going like “hey I saw this on 4chan/photobucket/dunnowhere” LOL. (speaking of 4chan, there was a 4chan panel…) Some really nice person came and bought ALL my stuff… I agreed to go visit her table the next day but she wasn’t there anymore =( and it was super special awesome to have someone GIVE me fanart at the con ;;;; near the end I finally found toby and subsequently a few other people that I didn’t know before. We did some print trades and talked for a little before I had to run )= driving for 9 hours isn’t something we could delay LOL;
I didn’t take many pictures this time cus most of the time I was behind my table or watching for chris, but here are the few…
Budgie! I didn’t know her when she came over during AN I DESERVE TO DIE (here’s your question mark as promised ^^)
Ruina <3
I didn’t take a photo from in front of my table… so here’s the view from behind! the book is mayshing‘s manga :D
Then like, this appeared in the women’s restroom:
some super awesome plate:
And our meter :D
We bought an ipod video from the states cus USD sucks ass now and less tax here. LOOK, THE IRONY!
And some cosplays~

{ Shia }
Wow! THe pictures are awesome!!! I wish I had such a plate! xD
{ Hiku }
Haha, it was so great meeting/seeing you. LOL, “SHILIN SMELLS” :O!!
I know-!! When I walked into the girl’s bathroom, I thought I was in the wrong bathroom for a sec;; Hm, next time, maybe you should raise your prices? Your prices were much lower than everyone else’s. xD; Most people sold their standard 8.5×11 prints for around $10 [and you sold yours for $5?] but as long as you did make money, that’s all that really matters xD ♥ Hope to see you there again next year!!

{ Z! }
ZOMG you saw the Jade/Sync cosplays too, I didn’t see you at the Alleyway sadly ;o; I was chilling with Synister all day though lol xD. And yeah, I was sort of happy and yet not happy about the Canadian dollar being more lol xD; I lost like 20 bucks trying to make all my cash American !@______@.
{ Shilin }
duhproductions: nope, it’s not )=
reafu: you get more usd for the canadian $ than previous years; unfortunately I didin’t need to do any exchanging in that direction, and now I have a bunch of USD that I don’t want to exchange cus the rates are so low )= it will only go lower though, LOL
{ R e a f u }
Wonderful pictures. Hey how good is our Canadian money exchange rate wise? Hearing that you were able to get an iPod video makes me really tempted to drive down to ny and get one myself. And as for that crazy bathroom…who ever designed the building must have been deliberately trying to be different XD!
{ duhproductions }
sure that was a womens’ restroom? guess the contractor scrubbed up… not too unusual I suppose.
btw, is the site music a recording of you?
{ ruina }
LOL you actually took a picture of the restroom!! And wow, that meter is so special… O_o;; Glad to hear you enjoyed Ota~
