I got lazy to do a daily update like last year. Anyways, I could only say... OMG I SPENT WAY TOO MUCH. XD But it's all money well spent. I love all my 13+ (yes i lost count) commissions that I bought... one being a full watercolor by :iconjunosama: and another being a fullbody pencil sketch by :iconwen-m:. Others include :iconbarlee:, :iconanireal:, and :iconangrytalic:. I want to list all the others that I commissioned, but all the cards that I collected are so unorganized, I have no idea who's who. *sigh* Also, I commissioned 2 from some artists. I also got a freebie from my friend cuz I did some Starbucks runs for her. :XD: There were other people that I wanted to commission, but then I didn't notice their commissions until a bit too late, so I wasn't able to commission them. In a way, that's probably good since I really did spend too much already.

On top of art that I bought, I got to meet :iconlannysu: and :iconjadedice:, and I had a chance to actually hang out with them like outside of the artist ally. They are awesome people. I totally enjoyed hanging out with them and talk about stuff that's not necessarily art, but of course their art is amazing if you have not seen their art before.

Ok, so I have 2 disappointments from the artist ally.
1) I am in love with :iconzeiva: and :iconmuhoho-seijin: art. But this year zeiva wasn't able to go, so then muhoho-seijin had to manage a table all by herself. Needless to say that means I wasn't able to get art from either artist. :cry: I was looking forward to getting art from them again. *sigh* Maybe next year. I did get some prints tho. ^^;
2) So I have this Kuroshitsuji fandom thing going on... and I was not able to find a single Sebastian print that captured his essence. I left Fanime without getting a print or poster of him. :cry: But I did get a cute bookmark from :iconkaiami:. Also, I did get 2 awesome prints of Ceil... one by :iconmarika: and the other by :iconshibakaien:.

Other people that I saw were:
:iconchupachup: :icond-fox: :iconbluessence: and more... um, yeah, I think I saw too many people to really list them all. :XD:

So literally I spent most of my days in the artist ally. I went into the dealers room a few times, but never stayed long. I bought white / blue cat ears. I wanted the black / lavender one too, but they ran out. *sigh* Maybe next year. Oh and on the first day before artist ally opened, I watched AMV Hell. Not exactly a big fan of it, but I did love one of them where they zoomed in on math problems on the chalkboard and started correcting all the steps. Since I am a math major, that was hilarious for me. :XD:

I've concluded that if possible, I'll go to AX next year. But I'll probably give up on it this year cuz considering how much I spent here, I need to start saving up about NOW. XD

Also, like last year, I've concluded I may be better than 2% of the people selling art... But I still don't think my art is actually good enough for RL money. Fake gold and items from avatar sites maybe, but RL money... maybe after my skills improve ten-folds. :XD: Well, if I end up sitting at my friends table for hours like I did last year and this year, maybe I'll offer freebies to those people who commission my friend. Nice incentive to buy eh? 2 for a price of one. :XD: But I think it really depends on what happens next year. ^^;

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note, I just noticed that I have 9k+ pageviews. I always thought I was at 3k. LOL. Anyways, if someone gets the 10k mark (or whoever is closest to it) will get a freebie from me. Depending on when it gets hit (i.e. summer or when I have work), then I'll decide what to draw. ^^;

Reading your post makes me want to collect art again! Must...resist....

How've you been? We haven't talked in soooo long! And did I ever pay you for your art? I was so inactive around the time that you gave me the art that I don't remember anymore. If I never did, 1) I AM SO SORRY OTL<333 2) I'll pay you whatever you want on whatever site you want. :heart:
:iconlannysu:
I foooound yoooou +___+ It was fun hanging out with you! We need to try it again >_<
:iconnocturnalmiyu:
yes definitely... ♥
too bad you guys are so far away. :cry: or else i'd be able to join you on sunday. :cry:
:iconnocturnalmiyu:
i know!!! you should come on more often to at least just chat. :cry:
i miss you. btw, i saw kurot at fanime too. she's so nice.

no idea if you paid me or not, but you know i don't really care. lol.
and anyways, i'm not totally done as i forgot to decorate things and haven't added a bg yet. :XD:

and yeah, i'm so into collecting art, but it's so bad. i really spent way too much. :XD:
:iconnocturnalmiyu:
lol. well, if you ever want to, i could always sit at your post at fanime next year while you walk around a bit. i used to sit at zeus' post if she needed to go restroom or something last year cuz lanny and evan wasn't there. ^^;
:iconnocturnalmiyu:
