Sorry for the absence, family in town will do that to anyone I'm sure. Besides them driving me crazy in every sense of the word, been working on art and trying to stay out of debt. With the completion of this I think I might actually be able to get some money before Ota.
I also got a few more SM items, I have and "item" on hold, hoping to do some talking before I agree to it. After that thought I'm making sure I have enough money for my phone and make sure I have a little something to take to Ota (it's good not to be completely broke at a con so that I can give change) and if possible I really want to save up for a T-kingdom binder for my Seiya cosplay. Those things are awesome~
Which reminds me, still need to lose some more of those lbs as well, or at least get some more muscle. *deflates* Why does summer have to be so hot? Yes, I know it sounds stupid, but when you don't have AC every day is a little bit of ick.
I did however enjoy the short trip in Frankenmuth, MI. I hope to get photos up sometime soon. I also found out that one of my favorite webcomics is going to be at Gencon, I am sooo excited now~

Colossalcon
The weekend photos
Star Ocean's Aston, not a character that is seen very often anymore.
Aurora! Then she came back a little later as...
My Princess~ *bows to* Sadly she forgot to cosplay on Sat.
TF2 Medic is healing. TennaD this one is for you~
Genma? He was slapping girl's behind.
Sis's friend and her group.
Because I couldn't find any SM people to cosplay with. ;____;.
I actually really like this one, especially the hair and I really am in need of a new wig.
"copying" Vol3 of the Stars LD cover, sadly it didn't really work for the like 5-6 times I tried.
Then Eternal Mercury stopped by and I said that she needed to at least get Uranus back down for a mini photo shoot. She was cute.
Not only did I get Eternal Uranus but Eternal Chibimoon too! They were both really sweet and we had a blast...if you can't tell by this shoot.
You're the daughter of Usagi, I will hit on you too~
What you doin', Seiya?
Let's arm wrestle to the death!
Vana White-ing Muerte banner...but wait
Love those nipslsh~
Get down-
-let's boogy~
I'm going to pose for you~
We're off to see the wizard...or a kick line.
FIGHT!
Who won? That the world may never know. Regardless it was way too much fun for its own good.
Almost a full moon.
I FOUND THE WINNEBAGO!!!! How awesome is that? *laughs*
Well that's what I've got, enjoy~

2009: June 7th
Colossalcon DAY 3:
I officially figured out how to take credit cards through paypal. This is going to be very helpful to me. As long as I can get power and Net for PP I can take CC at a con. How cool is that. I need to make a little sign I can stick on my comp or the table. I think I'm going to take a photo of this table as well so people can see the layout I have right now. I like the grid work, at least until I start selling more shirt designs, then I think I'm going to do the design I saw at Az where they actually arched it over their table. *nods nods*
I would have continued to edit yesterdays, but as the day went on I got more and more busy. Um...wha? That never happens, it usually does the opposite. I also got an OC commission, that lady I talked about yesterday brought her daughter over who was just a gem! She wanted her Naruto OC done and since it's not cannon I was like why yes of course I'd love to! She did her best to describe her to me and I got to work on the sketch. She got back she loved it, but then came back a couple minutes later remembering that her bangs covered over one eye, after that she was like yes. She was so timid but I'm glad I channeled her to do this. That is going to need to be the first thing I finish when I get home because I have a feeling if I don't her mah would be on my behind which is fine, I just really don't want to tick off a potential future customer that doesn't know that sometimes I get slow.
Oh so I was talking to two girls and a guy last night and then stared at the guy he was from FF, but I was like wait...were you at Ycon and he was like yes, I was like OMFG I'm still working on your commission! But I didn't give him the original lineart because I had it on me and I haven't seen him again since, I'm praying he stops by, it will be just one less thing on my person. I also did a mini shoot with a Uranus and Chibimoon was which oober fun, I got beat up. Photos to come possibly as soon as this evening. I love being closer to home. I can be home in about an hour and a half. Yay!
Made a few sales today, we'll see if I get a couple more before the day is through, I did want to go back in the dealer's room and say good buy to everyone. I don't know if anyone is going to stop by that I can ask to watch the table for a few while I wander around to say goodbye to. And I think that's all the fun stuff. Until later.

2009: June 3rd x2
I couldn't wait to post again. Let's just say it's been a slow day and I've actually found lots of random to talk about.
Example: Cannonball Run II is on CMT right now and I don't think I've ever seen it before but now I want to get it. It's old movie goodness. And it has a bunch of actors I grew up on. I had a feeling it was made of win when I cam across it for $3, big lots does this thing where they have really bad movies next to good ones and only those that avid movie fans can tell the difference. OMFG Jackie Chan is in this movie!!!
I pretty much finished my packing for this weekend. We'll see how that goes, even packing light I seem to always have a lot of stuff. It will be nice to cosplay again though, this will be the first time in a very long time that I've cosplayed outside of Az. I really don't know what to expect, too many factors to tell.
Oh and one last thing that I really wanted to include. I added a banner to this blog and the sailormoonforward one. It took awhile but I really like how they came out. Sort of added a person touch to my page.

Yes, I thought I would update again. Sometimes one is just in the mood to chat. I think I'll chat about the little two day show they are calling a con at my local college. It was weird to see how they set it up, but it wasn't really bad for what they said it would be. I was surprised to see as many people in cosplay, especially the SM cosplay. I should have gone as Seiya, but then again are those SM fans hardcore enough to have seen Stars? I was impressed with the Usagi, her wig besides being the eye-searing yellow was nicely styled.
My two friends and I went wandering around, House of Anime was there, it was almost awkward because I didn't think they did small cons anymore. Palace didn't even show up, which actually doesn't surprise me. I wanted to see hi to Wade though. There were almost no shitajiki which surprised me, but since most of the dealers had DVDs and figures I guess I really shouldn't have been. At least I was pleased I only saw one SM knockoff wallscroll. All the other SM stuff was either Japanese or N.A. I picked up a vol1 Stars by Tokyopop, they wanted $5 so I was like yes yes, I wish they had had vol2 because then I would have been done with the Eng since I don't really care what Tokyopop did. And I got a semi flat Venus (I have a Moon and I think a Jupiter, not actually sure about that one now). I did see a Beauty Change Mars, her face was much prettier than I thought, I wasn't impressed with the fuku, the bow was made of felt @___@. He wanted $75 for it and I'm like not for Mars...maybe one of the others. It was nice to say I've see one in person though.
I picked up a couple other random things, 2 pin set from Gankutsuou, 1-3 of tactics for oober cheap and vol6 of Saint Seiya anime which has me caught up through 8, I was like OMFG you have the vol I'm missing! And DVDs under $10 is always a plus.
Saw the "maid cafe" which honestly was a cute idea, but horribly done. I did take a photo of Moon, Mercury and Mars cosplaying as maids, but they didn't even have meal food only snacks. Hardly a cafe. *shakes head* The doll meet up was small but still enjoyable, I felt bad for my one friend who isn't into bjds at all. I do my best to keep her away from them because I don't want her to be bothered by them anymore than she already is. It was nice to see the few other ones that showed up, I got to see a souldoll up close, she wasn't one of the ones I was interested in, but the chin problem isn't as bad as one might have thought previously.
All in all for being something new it wasn't bad, but far from amazing. Maybe it will start to gain some speed in a few years. Besides the dealer's there wasn't much to do, I don't go to cons anymore to watch anime or anything like that and I don't even think they had any panels though they might have.

2009: May 29th
Welcome~
I thought I needed a place where I'm actually doing writing rather than just art. If you're looking for art please check out one of my other 2 blogs. Sailormoonforward (I update a couple of times a week, Ugly-a-day (Haven't updated in awhile) I also have an LJ and a dA a frequent rather often.
A little bit about me, Kuroitenshi aka Boonanaking, aka Sailortitan, Muerte. All original characters the last two are from established universes. 27, artist, lover of Sailormoon, Weiß Kreuz, Gankutsuou and a few other series that I won't let die. I go around to different conventions, mostly on the East coast of the US to sell my art though if you contact me I do sell and take commissions (when they are open) all year round.
I cosplay, usually Seiya Kou though I have cosplayed in the past - Integra, Tsukushi, Yui, Gabriel (Constantine), Queen Titan and Sailortitan. Though I have many many more I'd like to, money and lack of sewing skill always comes into play.
Now for something random...since I am a big fan of random and well lots of my friends are as well. Today's subject...crystal shapes. Last night I started looking for 2 particular types of shapes in glass "crystal". The one we've all seen lately as the "glass diamond paperweight" I prefer chaos emerald instead, but that's me. They start at 1 and 1/2" which is pretty small in comparison so the 5" onces...but in the grand scheme of things 1/4" too big for what I need it for. I looked for a good hour with still no luck at finding something just a hair smaller. Continuing on there is another shape, it's quite popular among SMverse fans because minus the bottom it looks like the manga version of the Ginzuishou. I have one...in acrylic. Can't seem to find it at all in glass to start. I spent a good 20 minutes looking for that one, the good news though is I did find a smaller size that I might be able to buy up and put on cell phone straps and sell at cons. So not a total loss, just wondering why it's so hard to find these things and of course I don't know if they have a special name for what kind of cut they are.
