Cloudsdale Day One

First I’m going to start by saying I had a wonderful time at Cloudsdale Congress as an artist. I’m so thankful for all the people who organized it to make it happen and keep it running through the multitude of hiccups. Artist Alley was super duper tight but I know everyone in my row really enjoyed themselves and we all worked/supported each other and that’s what drew me to the herd in the first place. I love My Little Pony but I tend to stay away from most fans because they sometimes bring out the worst in me but I was able to work FOR so many sweet fans of the show and I hope it means I’ve gained some new fans for myself and my own work.

That being said there were some highlights. I’ve attached a few commissions above as well as photos of my short but COVERED display. My neighbor was actually someone who commissioned me twice during Kotoricon (zOMG!) and she was there with her daughter and husband. They were super awesome because in the first half hour, I realized I forgot my cashbox and she watched my table as I ran home to get it. She had commissioned me to draw my Mini Vega in her personal sketchbook (where Katie Cook and Amy Mebberson have also drawn :o) and she commissioned me to ponyfy Vega. I think he came out pretty adorable.

I got steady commissions from different people all day, yet again, no time for a break which is optimal, let’s face it. I sold a few different prints, which was nice. Notable commissions include Dude A showed up asking for a copy of my Bioshock drawing with the big Daddy and Little Sister so I made another one for him. Then he came back with his friend who asked for a Delta Big Daddy fighting Pyramid Head. I couldn’t say no, it took forever but it was so worth it. Dude A bought a bunch of my babies and he also commissioned an inked Vanellope (will be on the next post).

A girl and her little brother popped by cosplaying as Twilight and Spike. They both fit the personalities so well so they did a little pose and commissioned a sketch from me. There was an incident later in the day where at a panel Spike was called a jerk. Of course, it was this little boy’s favorite character so I made sure to get a surprise ready for him the next day.

There were a few other odd/interesting moments but I’m going to keep them to myself.
