I had fun attending this again this year.
So this year I did skye from harvest moon cute with as pony from the same game. Me and her even attended our first cosplay photoshot as these characters, which was pretty fun. the photoshot's link is www.facebook.com/media/set/?se…
I also talked to at metrocn as well. She's really cool, so make sure you check her out. RealDandy also has a webcomic called Catnip, which is one of the better yoai/shonen-ai webcomics I've read so far, plus her unique style makes it even better.
Here's my line-up for next year, since I already know kind of who I'm going to be. I'm doing more characters next year, since I finally realized why doing more than one character over a con makes more sense than having to buy a lot of the same clothing to do one character over 3-4 days. But now I'm also going to start to make clothing for characters as well, since I learned how to use a sewing machine last summer. For now Skye, and Pierre are the only characters i'm absolutely going to do next year, Reina is still debatable since I not only need to make peirre's cosplay but finish Skye since I was supposed to make a shirt for skye but the pattern I was going to use to make his shirt was ridiculous (and i couldn't get a new one before the con), plus the wig I wore already looks like it's ready to be thrown away since it balded like crazy, and strands had to be resown onto the cap. I'll most likely do Allen on a less busy day, since I've done him before.

Abandoning Deviantart
please follow me elsewhere, i'm mostly active on tumblr and isntagram: https://linktr.ee/devilgrey after deviantart decided to pull the dreamup ai art generator stunt and use the userbases art to feed it without permission, i've decided to discontinue posting here. This betrayal of the community here, has broken my trust in this company. not sure if i'll delete my submissions or leave them up. regardless of what i decide, there wont be any new artwork posted. To be clear, i wont be deactivating this account. i follow webcomics and other artists from years ago that are no longer active which i don't want to lose connections too. So, this account will remain open but it'll be inactive.
not leaving deviantart
i really don't think layout changes are enough to make me leave deviantart. I really dont think its a bad change, i still find it relatively easy to navigate. Also, to jump ship whenever a site changes, artists will never have a consistent hub. My biggest problem with the new update is i cant edit comments on my profile, and that if i want to change my bio all the pixel things get messed up. but that's all i found so far. But I'll just have to adjust to the new changes. Honestly sometimes just making my own website seems like it'd be much easier.
Changes to social media usage
I’ve decided that I’m going to change my approach to social media. Recently I realized the social media game honestly isn’t that important. Especially if it’s not giving you financial or some other benefit that isn’t just followers or likes. Those last 2 things ultimately are just a number.
I’m not quiting, I’m just going to utilize my social media as a online portfolio that I update when I have the time. Taking photos of my work, editing it then posting takes a lot of time. And when I’m busy with more important things that actually matter, I always put off posting. Because it doesn’t eff
sudomemo, metrocon and logo news.
so i finally made a logo for watermarking my art, and it sure has sped up the process. making posting art online a hell alot more efficient. eventually i may go back and re-watermark my more polished and favorite works so i can post them to instagram and update the pics everywhere else.
recently ive made so new flipnotes that ive posted onto my sudomemo.
what i drew: hazuki (lynch), takeru (sug), self portrait, some ocs, and main characters from xxxholic.if you like any of those plz go check me out, also add me on sudomemo if you havent already.
Lastly: Metrocon!!!
this year i've been working on 3 cosplays, and have been able to pull it off
