LJ UPDATE TIME!!
So recently I've become Marketing Director for a new recruitment/placement company for engineers. It's just starting up, which means I'm very busy creating all the brochures, flyers, and website materials. Being busy makes the work day go by faster though, so that's good. Also means I'm not poor and can buy more frivolous things which I need, lawl.
Still doing commissions though! Recently I took on another DragonBall Z Trunks boot commission for a nice guy. Here's a pic of the finished product;
The commission process with him was wonderfully stress-free as he pretty much left me be to work and finish without a bombardment of e-mails asking for updates. He should make an excellent Trunks ^o^! I swear I can make these boots without even thinking now. (Even more reason to not make a tutorial no matter how many people keep badgering me. It's way too good an item to take commissions for.. maybe one day if I mangle one of my hands in a terrible accident and am unable to make a pair myself anymore I'll make a tutorial, but not before then >_> )
I finished that commission so quickly, I also took on an 18+ Hetalia artwork!
XD;;; the buyer requested it be kept private, so only a small preview is up on my personal LJ. Damn shame cause I think it turned out porno-rific.
Working on these things helps me not feel bored, especially with nothing much going on this summer.
This summer glayish and did not plan for any U.S. cons. We did go to Katsucon in February, but just remembering the brutal heat of Otakon and so on from last year, we decided to stay in Canada this time.
We really want to get more Slayers photos!! But not at a con, because it's too difficult to find a spot that has the adventure scenery that Amelia and Zelgadis appear in. Since we had so much success last Canada Day with our huge Axis & Allies Hetalia photoshoot (SutekiGO, Kaiser-Mony, Karen, Jess & Andrew) we wanted to try and do something again this time!
I worked on adding Pokota to our Amelia + Zel duo!
He stands up by himself!! I was impressed with my plushie making skills XD. I only needed a square of purple fur, but the lady at Trendy Fabrics would only sell me a huge strip. So I totally have a shit ton of that stuff left over. No idea what I will do with it, perhaps I will make another cosplay sales post in the near future.
Attended the Toronto Pride Parade 2012 this year! TOTALLY MISSED _anatra_ more than words can convey ='(!! But had a great time with glayish, jiyoon, Yvonne, and Eric anyways. It was freaking hot outside, and to be honest, the parade was severely lacking attractive people. DAMN I mean... so many old man in bondage gear or naked. HRUgh -_-!! The float with the hottest people was the LOBLAWS float, I mean wtf? Seriously!? Even Trojan didn't give out the same free stuff as previous years. The funding was severely cut from what I gather, so that probably was it.... Still though.
...
AND OF COURSE I STILL LOVE HETALIA. So since the EUROCUP 2012 finals fell on both Pride & Canada Day, I totally picked up an Italian football kit and threw on my Nyotalia Italy wig to wander around the downtown Toronto.
glayish wore her Spain jersey. I was tempted to draw a Romano curl on that photo just now, but I didn't. Hhahaha be thankful.
Now it's just the long stretch before FanExpo. I decided on my cosplay a while back, but now things are actually turning out, so I'll be tracking my progress. (By 'turning out' I mean, I'm actually losing the 10lbs I need to XD;;; )
I did a make-up test with my wig and ears yesterday! Of course I can in no way be Jolene Blalock, but it will be a joy to cosplay from the Star Trek universe. Plus the pressure of wearing a catsuit is actually making me lose some weight, so that's a plus.
Summer has been going well. I'm usually reblogging Thor x Loki yaoi on tumblr every night and reading copious amounts of slash fic, so can't complain bout anything really hahahaha.
Now back to work...
