How the heck did that happen? This year has gone so fast!

So I finished Link in time for TnT (obviously) and came away with first place! Tokyo in Tulsa is my favorite con, it's so well organized and I always have an absolute blast!
We also went to Izumicon this year, which was a first for me. Izumi is a teeny teeny thing compared to TnT and Naka-Kon but I still had a lot of fun. I miraculously managed to finish my Mage Hawke cosplay in time to take it along (I finished it literally 20 min before we had to leave home to drive to OKC).
I'm trying to settle on a lineup for next year, I'm going to try to do something pretty to take to Costume-Con up in Toronto in April. SO EXCITED. Nothing is final yet but I'm thinking Trinity Blood, Mass Effect, and AVENGERS. Hee hee! I also need to redo Link and Zelda's crowns (sculpy is HEAVY :C ) and I'm planning on reworking the Master Sword and Hylian Sheild with some of my newfound prop skillz. 

ALSO. If all goes as planned I'm going to try to do a couple panels at Naka-Kon and TnT next year! I'm thinking a "Cosplay Tips and Tricks" thing and also an armor making panel. C:

Of course now with the holidays approaching I've cleaned up my work area and am back to working on my animation stuffs and trying to find a "real job." On that note... My Cintiq is broken AGAIN. WACOM tech support is the most useless thing ever, I FedEx-ed it to them back in August for repairs and they sent it back with a note that said "Nothing wrong! Included a new power cord as a precaution." -_- If the machine can't stay on for more than a few seconds, even with their new cord, there is something wrong with it. Don't you think?? So now the warranty has expired (naturally) and I'm going to wind up taking it apart to try and fix it. I'm hoping it's just a loose wire or something in there. Wish me luck.

Hey y'all! It's been a while since I've really been active here on DA- hopefully that's all about to change!
I've been busy this past year with Animation Mentor, I've learned a lot and I've met a lot of great people through it. Ill be done in September so hopefully then I'll be able to find a real animation job!
I started drawing again after a long time of not really... Keep an eye out for some new stuffs from me before too long.
I've also got some major cosplay plans/schemes in the works. I updated my Zelda costume for Naka-Kon 2013 and wound up winning a membership to Costume Con next year! I'm super excited- 4 whole days in Toronto doing nothing but talk about costumes!! 8D I'm planning on doing a proper photoshoot with Zelda once the weather here in the midwest gets nice and the trees start budding out. So photos to come!!
I started work on my next costume- to be debuted at Tokyo in Tulsa (August 2nd-4th in Tulsa, OK). I'm not going to reveal what it is just yet... But I'll give a hint! It involves chainmail! Making chainmail is super fun and not as hard as you'd think But it is very time consuming and it i a little discouraging to work for 3 hours and only have a tiny tiny piece made. But I must endure!
