Recap - Anime Detour 2016
In my haste to get my photos up I really didn't make too much of make a proper con write up. Definitely had a blast this year, there was a lot of running around, and not nearly enough time to do all the things I had wanted to.
Friday RoseSpirit and I ran around as Latios and Latias and I ended up helping run the Nintendo shoot. I've ended up running a shoot unexpectedly at the last three cons and a few have been several years running. I should just start signing up to run them in the first place, or maybe running a panel on them.
Saturday was the busy day, gave the panel presentation on basic sewing. If anyone was in attendance and has feed back I'd love to get some. I've got slots confirmed for ACEN and Fanime to give the same presentation and would love the chance to make improvements.
Also got to finally show off Kaden with some remade pieces now that Fates is finally out it got a lot more attention than at Youmacon. I have one change I plan to make before ACEN, but other than that I'm very satisfied with the costume.
Judging for the first time was also a blast, gave me a completely different perspective on masquerades and its most certainly a lot harder than it looks. Best part was getting to see all the entrants close up.
With Detour over I only have a few scant weeks until ACEN/Fanime on back to back weekends. I should have Link done for ACEN, though I know it won't be fully up to the standards I like for a costume it will have been a good armor/prop exercise, the only way to get better is practice. I will be spending a lot of time as Kaden at both cons.
I likely will not be able to get Link out to Fanime so I'm either bringing back Ran or possibly resurrecting Kyubey if anyone has any particular preferences.
