For those of you who don't know this; I did go to Desucon with my photos and drawings after all O.o!
I decided one week before desucon that; "okey! I'll go to Desucon after all! What do I have to loose?" So this week has been quite busy and nerve wracking! On Friday, one week ago I sent a lot of drawings and pictures to Japan foto! The pictures were finished and sent to Oslo Friday. PHEW! I've been drawing every day too! 1-2 drawings per day. haha! It's been really cozy, just ignoring my studies and everything. Haha^^ I haven't studied any Japanese this week. Was okey with a break!
We didn't have any class on Thursday and Friday either. Good for me! ;)
On thursday I met up With Liv Elin. She was in Oslo. It was so good to see her again. We went window shopping and had a great time. Liv and Ellisiv (her daughter) came to my apartment and watched Kung Fu Panda. Hilarious.^^
So, everything were made ready for the big occasion:D I was terrified but also looked a bit forward to desucon. The minute I entered the building I regretted everything! I was more scared than I'd ever been! How in the world was I supposed to sell anything at all? I were at Desucon 0900 AM. 1200 PM they entered the doors for the 3000 people waiting outside.
I shared the stand with my good friend Nina Marie, who I felt was a wonderful supporter! Gah, I'm so glad she was with me!
When they started the entering show, the music ran high out in the enormous hall. Goosebumps all over my body. They'd made a wonderful Anime video to the music^^ Then all the rush started, people ( A LOT of people) came looking at the artist who had Fan art^^. Not only that, but people were cosplaying too. Almost everyone. Was insane to see so mane people with flashy colored hair and strange clothes and all! I also met Link, Zelda and Midna. Wonderful!
Nina and I were at Desucon til 1900PM. I was really exhausted at the end of the day O.o
It went well, selling my drawing. I sold drawings for around 1800NOKR. Which is wonderful, because I paid 250 for entering and 1300 for the printing. So I really didn't earn that much but that's not the point really. I got a lot of good comments about my drawings and all. Desucon was really social too!
I just wish that I would have had more time to draw fan art, because I would have sold more then but hey^^ I'll remember that till next time!
There were so many people who came to Desucon that I knew^^ people from class, our teacher's, my landlord, childhood friends and people from Tromsø too! haha^^ Really funneh!:)
When I came home I drank ice coffee and watched television while drawing. We have a huuuuuge test tomorrow, so I'm gonna study all day long! I'm going to ask Ole nicely if he can be a sweetheart and make dinner for us!:)
Oh and one other thing... I've done a lot of thinking lately. I've decided that I'm going to do less photography and focus more on drawing. That's just how I feel. I'm not saying that I'm going to really quit taking photos though. I'll have some shoots now and then. I'll arrange photoshoots with models somethimes I guess.
It's not that it aint funny to take photo's its just that everything depends so much on the model (if they can do the right pose, have the right face, clothes etc.), the weather and time. I really don't like that. And It's so hard finding the "right model" who's really really good.
Maybe I'll do more of the natural photographing? I don't know... I'll keep on taking nature photo's and child photo's and so on^^ *sigh* looking forward to Japan ;)
I just want to improve my drawing skills! So that's my goal! I have 3 photoshoots these upcoming days that I'll finish and then I'm going to have a little break taking photo's! (unless friends asks me too take photo's of them, much easier to work with people you know!)
Later folks!
