Well London Expo was fun... Crowded though but worth the aggro! Saturday
was manic! I pretty much had to shuffle EVERYWHERE! o.o; Sunday was soo
much nicer, I could actually see floor! *gasp*
As far as Art goes, I did lurk in the Artists Alley for quite some time >D I entered the art competition with some Arador Lineart (gotta give Xsal some love at least once a month it seems) Unfortunately the paper I was working on didn't agree with my pens so I managed to smudge ink all over the paper (and myself) so I think I may have thwarted any chance I had of winning! XD; Also I hadn't charged my Camera so I have no photographs of it... which is a shame cause I actually quite liked it! Hmmm...
Aha! A quick scour of Ashlea's facebook has turned up ... well almost trumps... as this....
Is the
picture I entered into the Artists Alley art contest.... Yes I know the
picture is tiny... and not finished... but you get the idea >.>;;;
However, I think Rob's observational drawing beats mine...
Yeah. This was the veiw infront of him. Nice! Still... made me chuckle though!
Sooo, yeah I entered lineart to the competition! I had planned on colouring it but with the amount of smudging I'd managed to do just with my own hand I dreaded to think how much I would ruin it with the markers to hand!
But on Entering the Competition and nervously handing my art over to Sonia Leong, I had my (almost) happiest moment at the expo :3 She Told me she loves my lineart! ^__^ I know it sounds silly, but that really made me so happy to receive such a praise from her! So I just HAD to draw something for her! So, that night I did this...
Yeah that one's a thumbnail - Just to mix it up a bit! ;D It's a photo so the quality isn't great but You can see it well enough! :D Anyways, it's fanart of Briony and Lucien from Sonia's Once Upon a Time! I bought it at the expo, read it and fell in love with the first story! So I HAD to do this! <3
Anyways, on the Sunday I hunted Emma Vieceli down and gave her the picture I did a while back of Ella & Protus (it's in a gallery on here somewhere...) She seemed so tired Bless her! Also, I delivered the picture of Briony and Lucien I drew the night before to Sonia! ^^ Her reaction was awesome and was my happiest moment at the Expo! (this is why the one before was Almost ;D) So yeah, That made me all warm and fuzzy!
Also on Sunday I lurked once more in Artists Alley :D This time just in casual dress rather than cosplay! ^^ I Drew Jake... I hadn't drawn him for a while and I missed him!
I realise now that his foot is too small.... along with something that's up with his legs... but I liked him enough to scan him in! :D
Soo, what else did I do, Oh yeah! I bought stuff!!
Yep, nothing says "This is my stuff" Like a cowgirl hat and a couple of frogs! :D
So yeah, lots of neat stuff including Sweatdrop and Itch titles! ^^ Yey for homegrown Manga! Also a couple of new Letraset Promarkers (I couldn't resist!) A super sweet Mochi Hoody from Geki Gear, black cat and Gurren Lagann (I'm sorry Becks but I wanted to give it a try! XD) aaand High chew! :3
I didn't buy the Kitacon Flyer... I was just excited to see it! XD It's really weird to see your art all over the place... on the floor, in peoples bags... yeah... odd... but awesome!! XD
My favourite purchase... hands down is this guy...
No contest really... infact he was the first thing I bought! <3 So yeah! That makes my total of Zidane figures to three!! :D Just you wait FFIX playarts... just you wait!
Ahem... anyways, I think that about sums up the weekend nicely! :D I hope you liked the rather lengthy update! It was fun for me!!!
Going Somewhere?
I'll be at Midland's Expo... I may do Amu from Shugo Chara again... I do have a wig ready!
Until then!
