Anime North 2016 Con Report

I was telling people that I've been tabling for 8 years now, but looking back at my 2015 con report, apparently this was my 9th! One more and I'll be ten years in! (and then I can retire?) o_0 As usual, con prep was hectic and crazy and I didn't make nearly enough merch, but still had a good time.

Table merch on the first day

This year, I concentrated on making mini-plush keychains. My normal chibi plushies would just take too much room in my bag (my friend Ikeda didn't get a table in the CM and she usually helps courier part of my stuff). I thought I made a decent amount of keychains (it was over 50!), but they nearly all sold out the first day. If I didn't set some aside, I would have had nothing to show on Saturday. x_x

Day 2! Some new characters that I finished giving hair that morning

Day 3! I re-arranged the setup and put my portfolio out

In the end, all I have left is one daruma keychain, two piggy pouches, and the Old Lady Toph/ Korra plushies (which I'm glad didn't sell so that I can actually photograph them properly now, lol!) Rey and Ren were only there for display and I didn't get any backlash for posing them in a ship-like manner. :D


Cosplay


I've been pretty busy this past year, so I didn't get into any new anime/manga series. I therefore just snapped pics of old things that I liked!

Badass Tsukki!

Noya-san with a mini-me!

Mafuyu from Oresama teacher!

Some Soul Eater! I miss the days when it was super popular

All the Reylo <3

Super cute Ponyo and her dad.

Ulqui! So nostalgic.

Awesome Bokuto is awesome.

Sojiro!! The guy was from Japan!

SPIKE! <3 He was so tall and chill.

If I thought I didn't get to see much of the con in previous years, this year took it to a whole other level. I didn't even venture into the parking lot because we stayed at the Radisson and the exit/entrance for the artist alley was by the back (right where the hotel was). 


Overall, it was a fun time tabling next to Bahamut Dawn Creations, Pokey52 and PracticallyGeeky. It was also great to see some old faces and friends. Thanks to everyone that dropped by my table!
