Kivae — My time at Expcon, 2009...

Description Pretty big file. Sorry for the short hiatus on "Narutard Theater-" I've already written up storyboards for the final two parts, and I'll get working on the art for the next part, soon!

So, yeeees. I'm a total geek. It's true.

But I was so stoked to meet Vic Mignogna, and I had such a blast at Expcon! He was so kind and patient with everyone- even though he must have been sitting on his butt for hours, he took his time with every fan who came to see him.

And no, I don't hate "Kingdom Hearts," at all! I loved playing the games! However... you AMV-making fangirls need to reign it in. There's only so many times you can watch the saaaame foootage over and over and over again, right? (Well, at least I think so...)

Anyway. I digress.

Oh! And for my devout subtitle-watchers who don't know, Vic Mignogna has done a bunch of anime dub-overs; such as Ed in "Fullmetal Alchemist," Fai in "Tsubasa Chronicle," Ikkaku from "Bleach," Tamaki in "Ouran Host Club," Dark in "D.N.Angel," etc...

Sara, our Kabuto, has a deviantART page over at Go check it out!

Edit:

Oh my gosh! The contact lenses girl in panel seven and Miku cosplayer in panel five both found this comic, and were really good sports about me drawing them! Trippy, right? Go show their pages some love!



(And I thought it was worth mentioning that she wasn't one of the photographers responsible for coaxing me out of the registration line! XD But I just remember her costume so vividly, and wanted the chance to draw her!)

Hey, I was at that con! Sounds to me like you had a pretty good first experience at cons. I know this is kind of old, I dunno if you've been to other cons since, but I hope so. They're so much fun.

Anyway, reason I commented, I can almost guarantee you that the Miroku cosplayer was a good friend of mine, - Don't feel guilty, he gets turned down aaaalllllllll the time. In fact, he used to pose getting slapped by the girls he proposed to, and one time a voice actress was playing along and didn't know she was supposed to fake it - she actually slapped him!
