Soooo, last time I posted was before Otakon, and Otakon is over, and has been for a couple weeks, so I think it's time I update again.
OTAKON
Overall, even though some friends ran into a few mishaps over the weekend, Otakon was pretty good, I guess. I got to see friends and hang out with them again, and that was basically the whole highlight of the con. Some people I didn't get to see, or I didn't get to see as much as I wanted to, and and I'm sorry for that...I feel like most of the con...I just wasn't feeling it... (probably because I was sweating to death most of the time)
In my personal opinion, I believe Otakon to be too hot/humid...and too crowded. So, I don't really know if I am going to be attending this convention again, as it seems every time so far, friends, or myself have run into health issues with the humidity/heat/dehydration.
The only downside to this, is that Otakon has a lot of local areas that are good for taking photos, although this time around, I didn't really have too many that were great for the available settings...
I ended up bringing Sarutobi Sasuke (Sengoku Basara), Yami Bakura (Yu-Gi-Oh!), and Leon S. Kennedy (Resident Evil 2).
OTHER CONS + Cosplay
I believe the next convention I will be attending will be Katsucon...I really, really loved this convention last time I went to it, and I am looking forward to going again. The area is so beautiful, and so it's perfect for taking photos of your characters in many different settings. I have a few new cosplays planned for this, so look forward to seeing updates on them within the next couple of months.
I plan to be making: Jaden Yuki from YuGiOh! GX and the casual version of Lunatic from Tiger and Bunny...I'm not too sure on any others at this point.
COSPLAY IDOL
Otaku House's 2012 Cosplay Idol is still going on, and I would appreciate any votes that you could give me...I don't believe I am quite in the top 5, so I would be grateful if you could spread the word to others, to vote for my Nero (Devil May Cry 4) entry into their contest.
