/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>AA dream
>last minute changes: tables arranged tightly in a separate building from the rest of the con
>originally tables would've been part of the main building of the con
>all the artists advertised that there tables were at the main building
>people got lost
>some artists got fed up and left without their stuff
>con tries to accommodate some artists at the main building
>they taped up prints onto one wall, and stood or sat on the floor by their artwork to sell
>no tables or chairs
>being a plushie maker, I ask if I have to tape up my stuff on the wall
>"Yes you have to, to be fair with others. But there is this small table you can use."
>table resembles a TV tray table with extra bars
>managed to make it work, plushies carefully arranged, hung t-shirts on the side (reality: I don't sell t-shirts), using a fuzzy pink tablecloth that came with it
>looking across, our original table area was taken up by this group promoting a new anime idol thing with a lot of standee props and posters
>check phone for facebook
>lots of feed about artists being mad at the con
It's been a long while since I had an AA dream. Juggling work, moving and AA is no fun.

Whaaaa I wish you were there! I adore your books and the like. I'll check out your friend's stuff for sure, it'll be my second time checking out Sakuracon (first time was just the AA area while borrowing a badge). I don't even know if I'll attend again next year, depends on how this trip goes...

>want to meet some fabulous /cgl/artists from these threads
>from BC, Canada

Thanks for the input about AR's artist alley, it's seriously hard to find any reviews about it. The con is so expensive, I'm not surprised by people holding onto their money, though I am surprised the artist alley is already sold out for 2015.

I've never been to either, and as usual I'm curious about the artist alleys there too.

Also, how come there's two Animethons? Is it a summer/winter thing?

It's such a headache researching AA venues, just dang, but has to be done.

>that empty corner space
It bugs me. Other than that neat sketchup

Don't I know it! Sometimes it's frustrating, other times it's nice when he gets what he deserves.

I'm remembering a few times when Junji Ito made me tear up, but I can't remember which stories... besides that one in Uzumaki when a couple elongated and spiraled into each other like some loving pair of snakes, and then that ending.

Just woke up from a dream where the exercise ball (my base) deflated but the head was perfect, nice and strong. I decided to return the ball in its usual form so I tried inflating it. It didn't work as there were apparently holes in it. I was too fixated on the ball to care about my prop head, ahhh.

Anyway, yesterday I got to use some Elmer's Wood Filler to cover parts of my head in, around the ears and that raised edge especially. Feels nice and hardy since I let it dry over night, so I'll sand it a bit smooth before applying more of the stuff. What I'm hoping is to add surface in some areas that are indented, and fill it with wood filler before I add more paper maché layers. So far the head is at 7 layers (up to 9 in some small places).

Are you planning on fighting in it or something? Haha I kid, but really depends on how many layers you make and how properly you make it. Rushing paper maché is going to end in disaster because you won't let the under layers dry, resulting in a weaker and moldy project.

Dang, that really sucks. I'd be very cheesed off. Sorry to those who missed out on this AA, they really shouldn't have done it this way.
