Sup, dudes. Chill.
Okay, let's report. Last week I attended Animania. Had a BLAST (as I always do at anime conventions) and met some very... very... very... talented artists. I saw some eye-popping cosplayers (Jo from Burst Angels and Morrigan from Vampire Saviour) and enjoyed the anime screenings (pity they were rather limited). If I feel like it, I may take it upon myself to try to sketch said characters. I indulged in some purchases, tried to push through the crowd and felt extremely old (I was quite possibly the 10th oldest person there).
Anyway, there was a doodling competition. There were two categories: General and Fantasy. I entered both, and while I was pretty proud of my fantasy one (which I shan't reproduce) it didn't quite make it. Fortunately, despite the intense competition, I won 2nd place by a fluke. I only used a blunt pencil, a small piece of paper (the size given was A5) and cluttered it with all sorts of nonsense. The result is very poorly reproduced in Pic 2, embellished with inks and added hatchings. First time I've won anything, therefore pretty happy about it.
The first pic was issued as a challenge. Unfortunately, the challengee knows that I dislike drawing men (unless they're crazed lunatics or muscle-bound mutants), therefore I hope I will be forgiven for the apparent lack of care put into this sketch. It is quite possibly among my worst efforts. I had such a good vision of it, too.
It's been a busy week so I'm cooling down this weekend. That's about it.
P.S. 13thousand, if you're reading this: I like your work.

I don't hide behind bushes. I stalk openly. Buahahaha
As it would happen I am reading this and I'm glad you like my work ^__^
so seriously get a deviantart account, it makes it so much easier for me to keep track of people like yourself.
I know how you feel about being old. I'm feeling older and older every year at these things, especially when I'm cosplaying ^__^;
