++ Long Live The G A M E

Today was fun

So much to say

But I'll keep this one short...ish
~~~

As I mentioned yesterday, I went to the con today! Hahaha, wasn't expecting much to come from today, but in the end I really enjoyed myself. I'm not the type to be really into the stuff that happens at a con, like the cosplays/screenings/sales/competitions, but the thing that really caught my eye was watching as artists drew their customers.

I spent a majority of my time there talking to the artists that were selling their stuff there. I really feel inspired to look at the works of these people. I really admire how they can do something like that. How they draw these pictures and get them professionally printed to sell at the con. It may not be career thing, but I really enjoy looking at those that take it as a hobby and genuinely love drawing.

I really wish to be in that position one day.

Two artists that really caught my eye was a 24 year old guy and a 16 year old girl. I talked to them two the most, and learnt a lot of things from the. The guy was doing portrait drawings for his customers whilst the girl was selling postcards, prints, stickers and other things like that. I really like the drawing style the guy had. It's something similar to how I want to be able to draw, so I'm currently keeping a close eye on his progress. The girl is a real inspiration. She's so young and she is able to manage her own stall. Also, I actually really liked her drawings, ended buying quite a bit from her, hahahha. I also managed to grab both their emails, so I'm happy about that.

Okay, so now that you know I spent most of my time at the artists section, let's move onto what I bought there.



First, I bought quite a few things done by the local artists here. They really inspire me, so why not? I bought 9 postcards, 2 posters, 1 original drawing and a local artbook. I am really proud of buying the GunGrave Artbook! I've been a fan of Yasuhiro Nightow for a long time! I love his Trigun and GunGrave series. He served as one of the inspirations during the time i was still learning to grasp my drawing abilities. Hmm, oh and I also bought a DVD called Takeshis', a movie made by Takeshi Kitano about himself. I am a huge fans of his movies and I own a boxset of all the movies he's directed up until Zatoichi, his 2003 feature film which won numerous awards internationally. Takeshi's came out in 2005, so I haven't got it yet. I'm really looking forward to watching it. Oh, also, I really loved his "Dolls" movie. If you haven't heard of it yet, I suggest to look it up. It's a really touching story(ies).

Okayy, I guess that's enough or today.

Hmm, was that short?

Maybe not short enough??

Pfft, yeah I tried my hardest, so it better be short!
