I'm back, and mostly alive!
Otakon was so awesome! I got to talk to so many new and interesting people about all kinds of things, I saw amazing costumes, reconnected with two of my amazingly artistic childhood friends, and sell a lot of art.
This was one of the best Artist Alleys I've seen in years. Every artist was so amazingly talented, and the products were so diverse. Sure, everyone and their mom (including me) had something Steven Universe, but that's because Rebecca Sugar is an evil genius who makes me cry with her adorable cartoons.
I sold out of:
- My TWEWY group shot (in both the 11x17 and mini sizes)
- My Sailor Moon Notebooks
- Cat Nip Pillows
- Oops Buttons (Thank Goodness)
- Everything using my Sailor Moon themed fabric from Spoonflower
- Tons of my Polymer Clay Foodie Jewelry
- Nightmare Before Christmas Buttons & Button Packs
- Inner and Outer Senshi Button Packs
I know it's kind of taboo to talk about money and earnings and stuff, but I like being open and honest, so full disclosure, I made more money last year, but I still made more than enough money to make the trip well worth it. I'll be making a bunch more Otakon and Alley-related posts, and on August 1st, I'm getting back into my daily art posts and 30-day workouts. Now that Otakon's over, I need to relax a tiny bit and recuperate. Right now I'm a raspy voiced zombie and it's nearly 3AM. I gotta get my butt into bed.

In the name of the moon...I am so disorganized!
It's only been a week since I've come home from Otakon and I am still unpacking! I haven't had a moment to rest all week and things have been really hectic, but thankfully they should be back to normal starting tomorrow.
I'll get back into my normal posting routine with my blogs and settle back into my 9-5 job as a graphic designer. (I am actually looking forward to the daily routine.)

The Reaper was right. What I value most is ME!
Shiki was the hardest poster for me to make so far. In game she is so bubbly and friendly, but I decided to go with a more somber (and slightly depressing) quote of her's.
I waxed and waned over making the REAL Shiki, but I wasn't sure that fans would prefer the real her over the in-game her. (Which is really sad to say.) I might make a real Shiki after I finish up my Neku, but for now I think this poster will stay as-is.
Either way, It took a lot of tweaking but I am really happy with the finished poster. (Even if it's sad.)

Mini stickers and a (upcoming) vlog post?
These are the adorable mini sticker sheets I had printed up for Otakon's Artist Alley last week. They'll soon be available in my etsy shop!
I plan on filming a little youtube vlog post about Otakon and my experience, so hopefully I can post that later this week!

I'm back from Otakon 2014!
 |
| I ended up running out of this design by day 2 of the con. |
Oh man, I just got home from Otakon in Baltimore! Selling in the artist alley was pretty hectic and a lot of work, but I got to meet tons of new and interesting people, have lovely conversations, and rub elbows with awesome artists. (Plus I still got to attend my favorite panel ever, Voice actors after dark. If you attend Otakon and haven’t gone yet, it’s a must!)
I had planned on updating from the con but the reception in the basement (where the artist alley is located) was awful, and the free hotel wifi was nonexistent. (With over 30,000 internet-addicted anime nerds like me at the con, free wifi just didn’t stand a chance.)
I’ll be posting Otakon and art updates here as well as my art tumblr, and all of the items from the con will be available in my etsy shop later this month.
For now, I need a shower, some cuddles from my dog, and a nap in a real people bed.
See you all tomorrow! (And Hello to any of you awesome con goers I got to meet this weekend! I hope you all got home safe and sound.)
