Commission Status: CLOSED

-----
I just got back from the crazy weekend of Anime North. It was a real battle agaisnt sleep the past few days. My body feels jetlagged. o__0 Con report can be found over at my blog: pheleon.blogspot.ca/2017/05/an…

Overall, I had a great time tabling with whitefrosty and next to BahamutDawnCreations . I also want to give a shoutout to ikeda for helping me bring down half of my keychain army (they wouldn't all fit in my suitcase!) Thanks to everyone who dropped by to chat, buy something, and generally keeping me sane: Superdemon-Inuyasha Jadejj Ladybloodskull Cmcookiez to name a few!

My next con is Otakuthon in August. I'll have time to prep so any recommendations are welcome!

On commission news, I'll be opening up slots some time in June. I just need to clean up and re-stock my materials. I'm also working out some slight changes: I have to officially phase out the classic style because I'm out of lycra fabric, sadly! I still love the proportions used for classics and I have a different type of lycra, so I'm working out a neo-classic style. I might also add my new 'nendoroid' type to the mix. Anyway, I'll need to work out these details before opening summer commissions! More info to come! :D

On other news... I finally got into grad school and will be moving this fall! :dance: In case people are really confused about my academics (because yes, seems like I'm forever in school)... After getting by Bachelors of Fine Arts, I worked a bit then shifted my career aspirations for art conservation which required taking chemistry and more art history credits. I completed an intensive certificate program in the field, worked again, and now decided to focus specifically for a Masters in paper conservation. I'd love to work with Asian art, like Japanese woodblock prints and etc.  So I now got accepted into the program and will be doing grad school for the next two years!

This means that I'll be taking lots of summer commissions, but probably won't be taking much (or any) in the fall because my schoolwork load might be too crazy.

I also need to update my DA gallery. I have a ton of projects that I completed and never posted, lol.

it'll be nice to have you closer so we can get up too shenanigans ;) lol!

Your little keychain army was nuts this year, i loved it! Definitely think you should do more FF15, and voltron for otakuthon. it's crazy popular. Maybe a persona character or two? hint hint nudge nudge totally not looking for joker....

oh! you'll be happy to know i sold my eevee poke block to someone at AN after the con! that was quite unexpected.
