So...in the middle of my mad rush to finish up projects, I decide to check my email...and, I got one from Otakon staff saying that a table has opened up...

Okay, I'm sorta in a love-hate kinda state-of-mind right now...since I've basically "accepted" the fact that I didn't get a table (they sent me an email a few months ago saying that I didn't sign up in time) so...that pretty much means that I made no preparations whatsoever!!! ARRGHHHH!!!

You can only imagine how peeved I am right now...because I'm stuck with 2 difficult predicaments.

First off, I have ZERO prints available (exception of the left-over ones from last year...which I doubt anyone still wants...and it'd be weird selling old prints) and I'm too damn busy to draw more...so if I go, it's practically guaranteed that I'll be losing money...unless I use commissioned pieces as prints - since that seems to be all I draw nowadays (I actually had to turn away alot of people who wanted to buy the Thor's Assassin display print I had on display last year) but that's a major NO-NO with commissioned works. Dammit!

Then again, I had a total blast last year...but I think that's more from the fact that I had THE AWESOMEST people in the world hung out with me that entire weekend (I'm looking at you, GP, Moggie, Pyrria, and Kai)...

So I'm sorta in a difficult situation. It's basically, Okay, if I go, I'm guaranteed to be losing money...yet if I don't, I'll be like, God, I miss the thrill of Otakon. I only have about 10 days to make my decision...or else I'll be regretting it later on. So, suggestions, guys?

Note: one way or another, I WILL be at Otakon...but this is basically whether or not to do Artist Alley again...

Update on Current Projects (I recently got my hands on Persona 3 FES...and it's rather addictive, hence the slight slow-down on these) :p
-Miho/Maris: Finished coloring Miho...will start on Maris soon...I got kinda caught up with SH.
-Summer-Heat: I'm currently finishing up his wings...will get to the freaking fireballs soon...
-Nike IX: Finished inks. Will scan/color soon...
-Tensai: Pencils completed. Inking in progress.

Moggie and I will be going to Otakon again this year. While it would be cool to be able to hang with you in the booth like last year, we understand if you don't do that. At the very least, drop me a line and I'll give you my cell # so we can be sure to meet up at some point! :D
