Wow, it's been far too long since I've updated my DA. For that guys, I sincerely apologize. Suffice it to say, for the last year and a half, I've been going through a lot personally and it's only now starting to improve. But nonetheless! I'm back now, and hopefully will be for a long time.
To bring you guys up to date on stuff:
Since Buizel and Kecleon were finished, they were entered into the Anime North Masquerade (which became officially and international competition the year they were entered, 2011). I entered in the journeyman division, which is one division above novice, and to my astonishment, we took Best In Show! I can't tell you how thrilling that was, and still is to accomplish something like that.
This year, my costume undertaking was a bit more ambitious. I decided to construct my first quadsuit (fursuit where the performer is on all fours with the help of front arm stilts) of Noishe from Tales of Symphonia. It was definately a massive undertaking, but was very much enjoyable. Not only did I have to hand-dye all the green on him, but also installed fans in each stilt, had LED glowing eyes, a moving jaw, and nearly 20 pounds of foam padding. Nevertheless, he was SO fun to act in and delve into the character. In the Masquerade this year, I walked away with 2 awards in the Artisan devision-- Best Artisan Mascot and Honourable Mention Mascot Performance. If you guys would like to see my performance on stage, here is the link:
