Otakon!

July 24, 2007 4:00 PM

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:
