I wasn't going to, since I briefly mentioned it in Maiku's San Diego thread, but I was convinced by my husband to shamelessly plug our table at Gen Con Indy's art show this weekend.:guts:

Anyone here going? If so, stop by and say hi! Unfortunately, we don't have a table number assigned yet, but look for a chick with short, blond hair sitting with an Indian dude.

Yeah, same here. Otherwise I'd totally sneak up to your stand and start irritating you guys for no reason until either you recognized me or hit me hard enough that I'd reveal my identity.

Thanks Grail!
I'm not going to Gen Con but I am cat sitting for some friends who are going. What a surprise when they get back and see all their booze is gone!
Good luck to you and your husband Sky!

No need to go to GenCon, there are ninjas and giant robots and Cat girls running all over Japan everyday! I am the hero of my own adventure! :guts:

Ah, it's a YouTube link to some parody of D&D players, and to be precise of LARP (since Gen Con is mostly about pen & paper RPGs).

Well I was planning to fly in Friday night to walk the floor Saturday for work. (I'm a sales rep for a collectibles company)

A good friend of mines father died so I may not be making it now. If I do though I'll seek you out Sky Taveler.

A good way, but for different reasons :carcus: The line for the 4chan panel was crazy... so I decided against it. I did however spend two hours in a line to get my Hellsing manga signed by Kouta Hirano... only to be told that I had wasted my life and only the first 50 people, out of the 200 or so there, would be granted an audience.


Yeah. I'm still livid :miura:

It's from a really funny show called Reno 9-1-1 on Comedy Central. It's one of my favorite bits. :serpico:

Wow, didn't expect so many replies! Sorry no one could make it; I'd love to meet some people here. I'm sorry about your friend's dad, Maiku. Hopefully I'll see you next year, or at some other con.

We had a good time, met some cool artists, and made a little dough, so we'll most likely go again next year. I do have a couple pics, including me acting stupid next to a guy in a Darth Vader costume with a waaay too big head. :schierke: Don't have time to post them now, but I will soon.

Edited for pics:

Us at booth.

Me acting retarded next to the aforementioned Darth Vader with huge head. (Seriously, it was ridiculous. I was forced to have the picture taken. :schierke:)

Just for fun, a commission I did for someone at the con collecting various artists' interpretations of a devil girl. Sorry for the bad digital photo.

There were a lot of cool people there who work on the same books we do, but we were stupid and didn't take pictures of their booths. In fact, we didn't really take any other pictures of the con since we were stuck at our table most of the time, but anyone who has been to any type of comic convention already knows what a standard exhibit hall looks like.

Nice photos, Sky!! Also love the drawing you did, did you do it on the spot or were you given a day or two?

Anyways, glad you had fun. :guts:

Thanks guys!

To answer your question, I was asked for the commission on Friday afternoon and gave it to him the next day, so it took a total of maybe...3 or 4 hours? Luckily he wasn't in much of a hurry. I learned my lesson on taking too many last year at Wizard World. Now that I posted it, I think I made her head too big, but I still like it ok. :SK:
