experimented with journal skin >w>

Sooo this weekend was the Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo and I was in the artist alley again~ Profits were not as good, I think my stuff wasn't cool enough for the con-goers this time around >w>;; But the experience was really cool! I didn't take the opportunity to sign up for next year's AA because I can't really predict if my situation then will allow me to do AA again xP
Ah, so I found out my digicam was dead during the con so I couldn't take any pictures while there v.v besides some video of Commander Shephard xD

I did not sleeeep at all so I was so tired... v.v Thank goodness my bro helped, coz HE ACTUALLY HELPED THIS TIME >w> There some familiar faces in the AA and a lotta new faces and maaan so many goood people xD
I didn't line up for the special guests that were listed on the site. I did go over to see Misha Collins in the flesh xP Don't watch Supernatural but was considering lining up for an autograph anyways, BUT line was sooooooooooo long.
The only panel I went to was the Dragon Age panel where they talked about 3: Inquisition. They mentioned the whole things getting really 'French' bit (taking place in Orlesia perhaps) and at first I was like, Ahhh I don't think there's gonna be much info.... BUT the Q&A part was actually more informative. I mean, what I heard was news to me. So from what I remember, the main character is only going to be human again. I think the maps are gonna more Elder Scrolls-like, something about the map size being bigger than DA: O & 2's combined....? I dunno something about 'combined' = v = Mmm there's a possibility that characters from previous games will show up, and that includes the Warden and/or Champion and the companions. Customization of companion armor will be back (actually that one was a given). The Qunari will play a part again, but I think not as much as they had in 2. The conflict I think is gonna be Templars vs. Mages. OH MAN I think there was more, but I can't remember lol v.v
AH JUST FOUND THIS LINK: social.bioware.com/forum/1/top…

Anyways, my table was really close to BioWare's booth~~ Me and my bro, who was my assistant for the weekend, got these blow up DA2 weapons xDDD
So later on the Saturday, the booth wasn't busy so I went to see who was sitting at their table and they were two writers who I got to sign these free Mass Effect comics they were giving away. OK SO I MIGHT BE WRONG AND I APOLOGIZE TO THEM but from what I can remember, I looked up their names and I think they were Sylvia F. and Lukas K. and and we talked about Dragon Age 2 and stuff, and the guy said that he wrote Aveline and we discussed the inability to romance her xDDD Those guys seems really cool I probably awkwarded stuff up BUT WHATEVERRR. So I decided to give them my Dragon Age 2 poster (as suggested by a friend to do) and and they showed some of the other ppl at the booth and this other guy asked if I could sign it and then let them take a picture of me holding it up with him. I WAS LIKE WHAT ME SIGN IT?? THIS FEELS SO WEIRD.
...i so wanna work with u guys in the future ; v ;

Male Shep's voice actor, Mark Meer was cosplaying and at the booth and the line was SO VERY LONG. They had ppl from the booth at the end of the line as a cap coz Mark Meer couldn't stay long. So after a while I noticed that there was not much of a line anymore and I thought maybe I could try getting an autograph then, but it was just a different person capping the line >w> BUT THEN she was like, 'OH you're the one who made that picture, go ahead!' Then she let me into the really short line, and she turned away several people after me and I was like, LUCKYYYYY. I didn't have a camera on me though so I just got a signature and I asked to hear some Shep lines xD
So there was a bunch of BioWare raffles, like a LOT, and occurring 2 or 3 times each day. The last one, FINALLY my bro came back wearing a Mass Effect N7 jacket and I was like YESSSS. Coz he really wanted one and I wanted to borrow = v =
AH so much talk about bioware loooooool.
random... but I just found out that Yuri Lowenthal does Sandal's voice and now I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally wanna see someone put "ENCHANTMENT?!" to Barnabyyyyy * U *

Next comic expo, I'll try to do better ; v ; Hopefully I can dish out some cooler/popular stuff xD OH but the funny thing, besides the Adventure Time print, I think the next most popular poster was my Kagami-kissing-Kuroko one xDDD I thought for sure that that poster was hurting my sales lol.
ANYWAYS i should end this now, this took so long for me to write = v =;; and i should sleep now.
