I will be trading at Smash this weekend with Jo. Table 8: DOKI DOKI OSSAN. Please visit us if your are attending! ^O^ I'm bringing all the new charms to the cons. Preview of the new charms are available at my twitter (aomarineSword) Not putting them on tumblr yet until I get to update my online store after the 3 cons. The online store is temporarily closed due to upcoming 3 cons (in row) and will reopen and updated with new charms at mid September.

Thanks to @gutterballgt and @phoenix-angel-suyari for comments on my cosplay!  I wore it all last weekend at the con, and even though no one guessed that I was Mina Harker, I got a lot of compliments on it.

Mina was a lot of work, but the costume was no trouble at all to actually wear, even in summer.  Wearing shorts underneath and wielding a +5 fan of cooling was enough.  The contacts were freaky and really comfortable, A+ all around.

I have some pictures, but I’m mostly looking for a good picture online of the Orc family from WoW, who blew everyone else away with green skin, pauldrons made from fake taxidermied bear heads, fangs made from dental material, and in Mom’s case, about 5 feet of braids.  They were AMAZING.

There were SO many Harley Quinns.  Many were terrible.  One, who went into the costume contest as “The BEST Harley Quinn” was actually pretty cringey. 

There were lots of good to great X-men, but the best was a short, muscular guy with claws, a cigar, and a fair amount of hair gel playing Wolverine.  Minimum costume, best effect.

There were a lot of Buckys, perhaps in honor of Sebastian Stan being there, and they were most often good.  The genderswapped Bucky wearing a Cap shirt was adorable.

There was a Big Boss who was picture perfect.  A random dude came up and started arguing whether one part of his web gear was authentic to the Vietnam War era (?) and the Boss just stared at him before walking away.  Nerds, man.

I had a great time, even though my car got scraped down one side by someone in the parking garage.  Looks like it’s mostly paint, but still... Morons.

Thank you SMASH 2015, it was fun. It was nerve wrecking all with the super high quality artworks all over the place, but I managed to break even on table and merch making cost and that is what matters for low profile artist like me lol. I went as Yang Wenli on Saturday only and went casual on Sunday. I had awesome company left and right and if I didn't clutch on my wallet that hard I would have emptied it by getting all the wonderful merch from all the artists table ;w; Highlight of entire weekend: MEET ANOTHER ZEKTBACH FAN WHO LOVES LIEN AND SIGMA. /throws all my Lien and Sigma merch to her in delight. Hoping to come back next year!
