Just got back from A-kon 21 in Dallas. I really didn't think that I'd get to go to that con this year. Just a week before the con, my Dad told me to try and get a room. He'd pay for it. Sweet! Managed to snag a room for the two nights and shared it with my brother and Kuno. It was kinda lonely with just the three of us. I'm so used of at least seven people being in a room.
For cosplays, I took my armor, Skeik and my new Lurker. It was more of a test run for the Lurker than anything else. I still need to do some work on the transition of the hand pieces and the head piece onto the bodysuit to make it look better. Overall though, people were creeped out and that's all I wanted.
Got to meet alot of 405thers I didn't know, among a host of old con friends. Somehow, we got to go to the cosplay contest too. Not to enter, unfortunitly. Just to watch. The winner was an older woman who had created one of the wise mage creatures from The Dark Crystal. It was amazing. She deserved to win. I'll post pics when I can find them.
And.... I'm starting more work on my other cosplays now. Hope to have a bunch done by Afest... Oh! Remember the Ikkicion convention where my cosplay group won Best in Show and we didn't really get anything? Seems we might get free badges! Very exciting news.
On to art news... I'm starting work on my Special Problems class. All that will be in another blog on my site. And I'm doing personal stuff along with an upcoming Halo contest. Lots to do.
