The Con

Journal Entry: Tue Nov 18, 2008, 5:54 PM


The Con

This weekend was a LOT of fun!
I went to Naru 2U a small convention in Ottawa with
:iconredpennant:
to help her sell her prints and sell a couple of mine.
She was really worried she wouldn’t break even but we seemed to have done fine!

Here is a photo the nice lady beside us took of us ^^

Some of the prints there were by her boyfriend
::iconsorse:
who was at Dotcon selling prints with
:iconsambees:
Almost of the people around us were previous Sheridan students, which was awesome!
Including
:iconperishing-twinkie::iconrocom::iconcezann:
(sorry if I forgot you)
It was a lot of fun talking about our 3rd year films and the terms that still linger through the years ^^

I also met
:iconspade-the-dragon:
who dragged along her friends
:icondrexor:+someone I dunno if I caught their DA
(again sorry if I got these wrong)
Spade did me an image of Drej, after I drew her one XD

And her friend did me an image of Ty-demon

I guess I should also do this tag thing as well
So here are some 8 things about me

1: I post about 5-10% of what I draw, the rest remains in jarbled sketches that prolly won’t ever see the light of day, oddly enough most of what I draw are humans and humanoids, but they are very unlikely to be scanned and posted because I know that my humans are generally unliked.

2: I really disliked being classified as a dragon artist! I take great pride in being able to draw what ever I feel like, whether it be humans, backgrounds, scenery, armor, weapons, or mecha.
I may not be the best of the best at these subjects, but when asked to draw them I can say I can.
Which I believe is a good motto for all artist. Strive to draw things out of your comfort zone. It makes you much more flexible.

3: I find it extremely odd that people find me scary, yes I may be tall on the freakish side, but that is no reason to be afraid of me. (specially when you haven’t seen me)

4: Like pretty much every artist on DA, I do not like things I draw to be compared to things from your fandom. I do try very hard to have an semblance of originality to what I draw and I can’t help it if there is the smallest of similarity only noticeable by you between my art and something I have never heard of before.
It is sad when I get this on almost everything I draw.

5: Contrary to popular belief I do NOT own the word avian, it means birds. I do NOT get $1000 every time a bird is hatched (however nice it would be). I DO own the conjunction of the word Avian when paired with the type of feathered dragons with square heads that I draw “soooo” often.

6: I really dislike chat-speak/short-speak/short-chat/whatever you want to try to call it to try to cover up your incompetence.
It drives me nuts that people do not have the respect to type two more letters when typing “you” and all of the chat-speak is like that. So if you do want to say something to me, please say it in respectable English,

7: I am a HUGE sugar fiend, I love the stuff period.

8: I can’t think of an 8 right now, I’ll add it later if I think of it. ^^

I tag no one because if you want to do it, you will do it anyhow ^^

oh geeeeeeeeze... how I wish to go to a convention... I never really know how to find them... especially around Washington.

haha... yeees... I used to hate chatspeak... then... It took me over. Pretty odd for me because I am such a spelling nazi... X>

sugar... that's all I eat... I seem to have excruciating knee problems and headaches, which have been going on for a very long time... I've heard that sugar is the main cause... but screw that I can't give it up. ... but pomegranates have recently been helping the problem somehow:/

ahh the magical pomegranate... ^^

Your a suger lover too? I ran out a few days ago and accidently barged some guy out of the way in the shop today screaming 'OMG SUGAR THERE YOU ARE!' xD He was just a little 'WTF??'
And god text talk, it is so lazy its unbelivable! I can't understand it myself I had to write back 'I cant READ that!' xDDD Dont think it goes down well :3 and because I'm nosey, how tall are you?

I feel that the amount of sugar I eat has to be horridly bad for my health, I am surprised I am not diabetic yet. ¬¬'
Tho I never seem to have a hard time finding it XD

as for how tall I am, I am nearly 6' tall, 5'10"-5'11" depending on who measures, I think someone measured me as 6' before.... then again I have been commonly mistaken for a guy as well XD

Omg me too and again me too! I'm constantly worried about becoming diabetic o.o But then I could walk outside tomorrow and be hit by a car so! XD Wow, I'm depressing xD
Ho god I dropped the suger pot on my pancakes mix bowl yesterday, mix everywhere...so I scraped it up with some spoons (the bench was clean xD)Two of my fave things combined to create disaster D: noooo! XD

Mistaken for a guy? o.O Omg puch them D: But I bet you look nothing like a man xD Theres a girl in my work place with short hair who is also mistaken for a man, its hilarious having to tell the grannies the 'lad' who was helping them is actually a lass xD

Aw, it's a shame you don't post any sketches, those are always fun to see. D: Though I can understand, I'd never post mine either. xD
