Well, well, well, everybody! I’m back from Otakon with a stack of pictures amongst other very neat things. The Con went pretty well for us, and I had the honor of being surrounded by a number of very talented artists. It was quite rad. I actually got to do a bunch of commissions, many of them right in front of the folks requesting them. To top it off, we ended up using up all our sketch cards taking people’s requests. Yes, yes, all of it, very satsifying. Here are some snapshots of the fun times.
Gideon and Ramona from Scott Pilgrim. Go read it.
Alex, Heather, Henry, and a Nurse from the Silent Hill games. Hawtness.
Eager Otakus filtering through the halls of the Convention Center.
Oh yeah, I think somebody lit a cigarette in the bathroom. Evacuation time.
More eager Otakus, waiting to feast their eyes on a host of anime-inspired art.
It was awesomeness threefold. And I wanna sincerely thank the people who made it that way for me:
Mike Hall (my boss, and spiritual webcomics father), Garth Graham (amazing artist with a badass wardrobe to boot), Dave Stanworth (the really tall and equally awesome shirt-wizard), Mookie and his girlfriend (the laid-back cool cats behind the Dominic Deegan table), Brian Wilson (enough said), Scott Ransoomair (yes, that incredible dude from VGCats, thanks for the shirt man!), Blair Rossi (our always helpful, most energetic, and multi-talented friend), AAAAAND that random guy who asked me if I was “Ryan Thompson”. Good times, kids.
Bear in mind, Darkstar is planning to head down to Intervention in little more than a month from now, so if you didn’t catch us at Otakon, perhaps we’ll seeya there. I’ll be planning to do Commissions and a number of Sketch Cards again, so be sure to track us down. But anyways, it’s good to be back home. I’ve missed you all!
