ooh did u have a good time at sizecon?
Oh yes! I tried making a massive post that was the equivalent to the thread I made over on Bsky, but it actually ended up crashing Tumblr and didn't save
Put simply, I tried to go a little more lax this year. If you haven't been paying too much attention to my personal posts, I kinda just needed a break. I did volunteer as Security, making sure everyone that entered had their name badges, marking off meal tickets, and just generally making sure everyone felt Safe in the Con Halls. This allowed me to meet several new people and I got to show off a few of my creations.
I'm not gonna lie, this year I kinda forgot to advertise my pages as much as I should have. Mainly because I haven't been the best at posting of late, again, hence why I needed the break, but all the same.
I attempted a Cosplay of The Jolly Balloon Man mtg card as it is the card I am building my deck around and as such, I brought with me a few props to mess with and hand around. Namely, these berries modeled by Gnomadine
And Qualtroverse respectively. This was also a chance to flex my 3d printing settings and skills as I found new methods of smoothing them out shortly before the con ;3
But the main project I brought and advertised was the current progress of said mtg deck
The quality of these aren't great as I printed these on Card Stock on my home printer. I do plan on getting them more professionally printed when the deck is more finished, but it was still amazing to be able to hold these and pass them around, show a few of these to the artists that made them (I'll get them signed when they are printed professionally) and even show off the project to a few other artists to gauge interests to see if they would be willing to contribute ;3
So yeah, very fun weekend, meeting up with old friends, new faces, and the like. Spent way too much, which is to be expected (still convincing myself to get up and put up the prints and stickers. Expect updated pics of where they eventually went) but it was overall a fantastic weekend, and besides the fact that I got sick and super busy at work shortly after getting home, it was still a fantastic break away from work ;3 (Please consider going to SizeCon if you can. I'd love to meet y'all. SizeCon Micro will be happening in October and is fully online for anyone who may have trouble getting to Portland)
(It crashed last time because I tried tagging and/or linking every single artist shown off in these images. Please reach out if you want to know the info on any of them. I'll happily provide links to any and all their pages ;3 )
