Mood: Decent
Heyooo I'm back from Otakon! I forgot to mention that I was going actually, whoops;;; :m I only ended up putting together one costume this year, but I think it came out nice!! Here's what I wore to the con:
The cosplay's a human form of Kyubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magika! I made the jacket and vest myself using patterns I bought at JoAnn's. I also made the ears, weird gold rings on the pigtails, and dyed the wig using fabric dye. Everything else was stuff I bought/already owned. I really like the sock garters I bought for this costume..... *-* I might even wear them outside of cosplay because they're just really snazzy. :Y
At the con I just did the usual: walk around the artist alley and merchants hall. EXCITING LIFE! I also met up with a friend from dA and drew with her a little. A couple people came over and talked with us while we were drawing and we exchanged usernames/etc, so that's fun! I hardly meet new people at cons, haha.
I tried not to go too crazy w/ buying stuff at the con. Here's what I ended up getting:
My sis and her boyfriend bought me the long posters, actually. NICE.
This was actually my first time buying a Lolita magazine, surprisingly. I ACTUALLY JUST FORGOT THEY SOLD ART BOOKS AND FASHION MAGS AT CONVENTIONS....!!!! The next convention I go to I'm gonna spend more time looking at the art books and try to buy some nice stuff. >:0
I really like the Lolita magazine though, everything is so pretty..... *-*
There's tons of cool dresses and stuff. I'll probably be drawing outfits out of it for practice, so... expect that...? idk.
OH, I also bought a commission...!!! From Aphelionix on tumblr!
A BEAUTIFUL DRAWING OF LAFAYETTE!!!
I GET SO NERVOUS ASKING FOR COMMISSIONS.... I think this is only like the 2nd commission I've ever bought in person despite going to cons every year. Along with buying art books, I wanna buy more art of my charas at cons...!! >:M /my new goals for cons.
But yeah that's about it. I mostly hung out with my sis and her bf the whole time (I'M ALWAYS CRASHING THEIR PARTY HAHA;;), and it was a fun time. :^D Next year Otakon will be in DC, which is nice for me because I'm closer to DC than Baltimore. Hopefully prices won't raise, tho.........................
Anyway, that's all. SCHOOL STARTS SOON AND I HAVEN'T DRAWN ENOUGH LSDKFALSDFHLN. I'm gonna go and do those sketch requests right now. >:Y
