MomoCon!

Sun Mar 15, 2009, 6:25 PM
So I just got back from MomoCon in Atlanta.

First let me say that they were NOT PREPARED for the sheer number of people that arrived. After a 3 hour drive there, I had to wait in line another 3 hours for registration >.< There were so many artists and dealers that they split the artist's alley between two rooms, inexplicably on separate floors of the building, and there were also four dealer's rooms. There were crazy crowds trying to get into the smaller dealers areas, and it was super hot inside because of all the people. Of course, it had to be cold and rainy outside.

However, MUCH fun was had. I've never commissioned any pictures before this weekend, but I decided to go ahead and get one yesterday. It turned out so well that I decided to get more today before leaving. I decided it would be a great idea to get a number of different artists to all do Darkstalkers characters, and the results are all amazing! Hopefully they will be up soon, because the world needs to see these.

This was a super fun thing to do, because I have noticed that EVERYONE LOVES DARKSTALKERS! Seriously. The character designs are amazing! Normally I'm not too social at conventions (sorry, I'm shy) but this was a really great way to get talking to people about our shared love of a game and its many wonderful characters. I got a gorgeous Darkstalkers art book at the dealers room, and when I would hand it to an artist and ask for a picture of a certain character, it was great to see them light up and exclaim how much they loved that character and wanted to do the piece. Then they'd drool over the artbook for a while.

I hope to continue this at my next con, Animazement!
