Had to abbreviate because the full title wouldn't fit. :XD:

Should have uploaded this ages ago! This is the full print version of the mini "con bestiary" strips I did last year and made its debut at Amecon 2010.

18"x12" prints are available for £5/$8 plus shipping.
Also, individual postcards of each panel (except the J-Rocker bit at the end) are available at £1/$1.50 each.
Note me if you're interested for now. I'll be posting details in my journal later on. :)

Probably won't ring true for all, but the part about photos was based on a couple of people I've seen at UK anime cons. They'd taken their suit heads off and were quite clearly hot and bothered, but people were still coming up an asking for photos to be taken. D:

Very informative, I have yet to go to a convention... (silly education getting in the way, but what do we need that for... oh yeah... :O)

When I finally take that daring step I'll be sure to cling to your guide for dear life! (and try not to dress up as a fangirl favourite!) My deepest fear is being mauled to death for actually liking english dubs...

If I ever pluck up the courage/finance to go then I'm the Boy who looks like the Girl from Redline, just please don't ask if it's a wig... :dead:

Haha I'm the same with English dubs. As long as the voice acting is good, the language doesn't matter! :XD:

I'm sure you'll be fine when you go to your first con. Most people at the ones I go to are really friendly and you get to know people quite quickly. :)

Haha I'm easily distracted and have bad eyesight, so subs are really hard for me, in the end though it's as you said, the voice acting is what matters. :)

I'm gonna try and save up for a con soon, I really need to experience it, it'll be fun to mingle with people who share the same passion, rather than being the odd one in a group of fine-art students... :O

Thank you very much for the watch! (I'll put that here rather than spamming your messege box :XD:)

I love Sir Attenborough at the bottom, he could probably do a documentary on wild Pokemon! :)

This made my day. I went to a con not to long ago dressed as Link, and I can tell you that I can probly pick out one or more people for each of these.... "species". I was attacked by so many fangirls....

lol this is SO TRUE!! :XD:

...well, not all J-Rockers dress like Visual-kei
(i.e. B'z, Southern All Stars, Spitz) ^^;

For me, Visual-kei seems more popular in outside of japan :hmm:

:iconryuuza-art:
ryuuza-art Featured By Owner Jun 5, 2011
No, I'm fully aware of that (I actually like B'z), but it just seemed to roll off the tongue better than "great crested visual kei performer/ musician". :XD:

I know what you mean as well, though I've never quite understood why that is beyond the whole "it's Japanese so it's better" thing. :lol:

THIS... FOREVER. I'm usually a normal congoer (not cosplaying) and where I live the species that most populate cons are an annoying bastard child cluster of Japanophile kawaii desu fangirls that sometimes are even malodorants :l... but lol everything is so true, also with the bondage-fetish poser goths xD

Aw man, I certainly don't envy you!:XD:
Most of the congoers I know here are pretty cool thankfully, I rarely come across anyone who's annoying or creepy.

Thanks though, I'm glad you like it!

Lucky XDDD Where are you from?

I've cosplayed toon Link sometimes and twice was I asked to be hugged by the aforementionred bastard child clusterfuck kind and OH GOD THE AGONY. :L

Haha, I cosplay OoT Link and have managed to avoid drama so far. I imagine my time will come. lol:
I'm near Birmingham in the UK. Aside from the big Expos, our cons are usually just big social events where we all know each other (about 1500 people max).

The Cosplayers Survival Guide
Cosplayer: One who creates a costume based on a character from a popular video game, manga, comic, movie, or graphic novel, and goes to conventions.
Convention: A large group of fans and cosplayers to appreciate the fandoms they enjoy, and have fun together.
Now that we know the basics of what these two things are, you should have no problem understanding everything I'm about to say. Whether you are a newly discovered cosplayer, or a continuing one, this guide is here to help you along the way of what goes on at cons, how to get through the hard parts, and enjoy the fun parts. Now I've been a cosplayer for only one year, but that doesn't mean that I haven't had the time to observe and even witness some off spectacles that go on at these conventions. I had to deal with them, but I figured I'd try and help the less fortunate people. My idea? Create a guide that informs people of everything they encounter. This is the Cosplay Survival Guide.
Now let's say that it's a few weeks or so befor

Declined Work in DeviantART GroupsHow many of you have seen that big red X in your correspondence and had your heart sink?
Almost all of us have had our work declined from some group or another on deviantART. For some of us, it's a minor inconvenience. For some, it's not even all that surprising. For others, though, it's a bolt out of the blue. Maybe being declined doesn't surprise you, but the reasons or responses do. In this article, I'm going to try to get to the bottom of understanding why it happens and how do deal with it, both as a submitting member and a declining admin.
The Different Kinds of Groups: Inclusive, Exclusive, Transactional, and Program
The first step in understanding declines is understanding the group doing the declining. Different groups on deviantART have different policies and ideals. If you understand a group's mission and rules, you can better predict which of your works might be declined and why, as well as better determine how to respond if it happens. If you'r
