AC + Omni's Dragon

This weekend I attended Anthrocon as a dealer. This was my first AC and furry convention in general. It was a lot tamer than I expected and my fantasy & monster artwork was very well received even though it was not actually anthropomorphic in nature. (two issues I was worried about!) I will definately consider attending again next year, although AC does fall uncomfortably close to Otakon, and I do not know if it will be possible to attend both.

Here are some photos from the con.





























During the con I finished up Omni's dragon. :-)

that was a digimon actually (like there's much difference when you get right down to it) I can't remember the name of that one though, i just know its a fox thing and it is therefore cool.

looks like you had a lot of fun!

Haha. I wasn't quite sure what they were. I'm Pokemon 152+ and Digimon illiterate.

They're all something-mon, they all evolve and they all fight eachother. The only difference is that one can talk properly and the other's stuffed in tiny airtight containers ;D

It was also great to finally meet you in person, and also watch you work. I'm glad you enjoyed AC and I hope I see you next year, so I can tell all my friends to buy your book, hehe!

Oh wow. You are so good. Gotta love furries, and I think that blue furry one in the back looked vaguely like Suicune, non? And I LOVE the dragon. I love all dragons, but I love yours the most! I want to meet you so much! I'm saving up for adobe photoshop or something like it, I can't wait! I wish I could draw like you! ^U^

I agree that it looks like Suicune. Same jewel thing on it's head (and purple mane). Digimon is the yellow one. Lol.

Try out GIMP. It's Photoshop for those that can't afford Photoshop. I use it because PS is too expensive. Some of the stuff in it has different names from PS but it's virtually the same. Also, it's free!

I kept meaning to come by your table and say hey, but it was always so busy in that corner! And I only skimmed through the Dealer's Room like, twice. Trying to keep myself from buying a lot of things!

The parade last year was...300-some. Made the Guinness Book, I think? Or AC itself did. I don't recall exactly. But Anthrocon was mentioned in last years book, if I recall.

I'm guessing Bunny with Guns won the contest by taking all the male votes.

Haha. I don't know if there was a contest or not, but there were a ton of very impressive elaborate costumes. I cannot imagine how much time and money people spent on them!

You brought your mom to a furry convention?

That's brave. ;)

My mom is cool :-) Though it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected it would be. The internet lead me to believe it was going to be filled with kinky furry pr0n everywhere. It was pretty much like an anime con. She's used to those :-)

I think my dad's head would explode if he knew either of those things existed, LOL.

I think the tilted horizon really makes this dragon pic — really gives you the feeling of flying alongside the green dragon. =)

I really think CSI screwed over any chance of furries looking normal...

But, anyway, that looked like alot of fun, and when I'm older (maybe 2 years) I really want to go. I hope you go when I go!

What's that book with the blue dragon on the front? Is it a preview of the next one? :3

That is not a new book. That's a paint kit that's an excerpt from the first book :-)
