BronyCon 2018. What a year.
This was my best BronyCon yet. I was so excited to make things that people genuinely loved and to see everyone happy and enjoying themselves all weekend. It was great. It was beyond great. BronyCon always evoked the spirit of “Friendship is Magic” and I have always appreciated the show for that.
Above are just a selection of my commissions this year, including a matching earring and necklace Cutie Mark set! But then comes the announcement at the end of the weekend that BronyCon 2019 will be the last year. I won’t lie, I’ve noticed that attendance seemed to be dwindling from year to year. Many fans are not as voracious as they used to be because of the recent direction of the show, Hasbro’s focus on the Equestria Girls series and so many more reasons. As sad as it makes me to see BronyCon end, it just means we all have to find new homes at other shows. And that’ll be a fun new adventure.
I’m personally interested in checking out Furry Cons. They’re a type of show I’ve always wanted to attend and now is my opportunity to give them a try.
Are you sad to see BronyCon go? What are you going to use to fill the BronyCon shaped hole in your annual calendar?
