the reason why art's been slow lately can be described with two words:

peep da new banner! it services as a lil intro to my sonas. ^^

i was originally gonna render this, but honestly i like the pop of the plain colours!

my charms came in :DD they look so pretty!!! i tried out a plain holographic effect this time which gives it a really nice rainbow sheen in the light. :>

a 100% upgrade from the old charms, especially since this displays all 4 of my sonas :D i love this full-bleed effect so there's no "bubble" border for the keychain.

Had a BLAST at London MCM Comic Con and here's the inevitable blog about that.

I aim to come here once a year and this time, I came as my truesona 4LY (pronounced "Ally", my irl name but I often call them "Fourly" instead). It features the funny TV head with the silly bunny ears and an LED screen I can edit on the fly. It ended up bringing a lot of smiles and entertainment, and throughout the convention I was beaming!!

I met a lot of awesome cosplayers and decided to edit some of the photos I took! I wish I took more pics, but I'm so shy and introverted sometimes it's very hard to bring up the courage. :'D Thankfully, however, everyone I interacted with was kind and very friendly!

Some more pics yehaa

Had an amazing haul too, featuring yet another Hatsune Miku to sit on top of my PC and these sweet Chainsaw Man figurines where Denji and Power are playing with Pochita and Meowy respectively. I simply refused to leave the convention without getting them.

Plenty of people took pictures of/with me and gave me such sweet compliments, my heart was so warm (I promise it's not because of how hot it is in my TV)! I even got free candy and a sticker. :'3

Overall I had an AMAZING time and it was also a learning experience on how to improve my TV head; primarily, its struggle to ventilate and its poor support on my head (It's kinda heavy, and often falls forward due to lack of support security. Had to spend most of the convention holding my head upright both so I could breathe cool air from the bottom and not ruin my posture any more than it is).

Hope to attend next year!!
