TFCon was fantastic like always! I had so much fun running around as Blackarachnia for the weekend. I've got a bunch of ideas to add more shiny junk to her before requesting her to Renn Fest later in the year. A HUGE APOLOGY TO ALL THE KIDS I BUMPED IN THE FACE WITH MY SPIDER LEGS THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. I took them off for Sunday on purpose....
As always, it's really inspiring and reassuring and motivating to hear from the voice actors and directors and writers. I'm full of ambition and creative energy afterwards. Battery recharged!
@hoistsautobody and I have a ton of ideas for art and custom painting to make before the next TF Con we can attend. We are considering the prospects of tabling once the con returns to our more-local Baltimore as well as taking on commissions work, but we have a lot to work out before then-- stay tuned for updates!
Hoist and I are already making costume plans for the next go around and drawing out plans while we endeavor on the way-to-long journey back to the East Coast where we hope to slide in between waves of freakish bad weather.
He's posted a sneak peak of his costume, so I'll add mine here with a simple little rock candy recipe I looked up while waiting out of layover:
We look forward to seeing everyone as soon as it's possible again! We're trying to fight some social awkwardness and shyness so if you met us at any point over the weekend, please feel free to reach out and connect with us online in the interim. We'd love to stay in touch!
I've been away from Transformers Cosplay since TFCon LA, so I enjoyed finalizing my Scavenger outfit for what will likely be TFCon Baltimore in 2027. Very excited about this one. The purple overalls I'm working on will work for him and Huffer.
Happy 810nicle day! Here's a Toa of Sonics.
Ready for Maryland Renn Faire this weekend! Over the last month I've been creating an outfit based on the Black Falcon Knights, my favorite Lego Castle faction. All the sewing was done on the Kenmore on the left (a proper workhorse) though I'm also excited to have found the slightly later model on the right, which will let me hem sleeves and such. This outfit was fun to assemble from scratch; I learned a lot.
@foxxiwaves introduced me to a new show... I think I'm following the plot pretty well.
I've finally returned to my preferred medium, the linocut. I'm 300 miles from home for a week and for that time, I can escape the rest of my life to focus on the health of my heart and mind, expressed in languages of old tradition.
TFCon was so fun. Every convention I catch I enjoy more than the last, and I miss it more when it's finally over. I hope we're able to catch the next one in LA. So nice to hear from the voice actors you love and the writers you have the highest appreciation for.
I'm also so glad that my costume made it through the bulk of the weekend even though its duct tape kept failing. A huge thanks to everyone who gave compliments. I'm eager to make improvements now and have a better version ready for Renn Faire. @foxxiwaves took great photos with a proper camera and we'll get those edited once we're home.
I'm sitting on several new costume ideas, but none of them are as intensive as Silverbolt. I want to put most of my energy into creating new jacket artwork and selling through a made-to-order website, maybe eventually being ready to hold a booth at the next Baltimore TFCon.
Sneek peek for my next fit:
