I feel that I should mention that I found a plush that looks like Huckabee at the Confuzzled dealer’s den and bought him right away. :3~

More Confuzzled convention art!
The celtic knot badger guy was etched into glass tankers, which was super cool and looks best on the real product. Especially when it’s full of ale!
The badger in the forest was for the t-shirt and looks better in digital/print than on t-shirts because I didn’t get to color test for pantone (my bad). I really like the shirt anyway, but it’s apparently very polarizing… some people LOVE it, some people HATE it… and I am okay with that. 😉 The con asked me for something subtle that people could wear outside of conventions, so ta-da!
FINALLY… the ferret flag! Nall asked me to do this up like… a couple of weeks before the con. He got it made into a giant flag which was then signed by tons and tons of con goers and auctioned off for charity, 100%! Hurray!!!
Here are the illustrations that I did for Kyell’s story in the Confuzzled 2013 conbook!
Some photo highlights from Confuzzled!
The SKETCHBOOK of DOOM
This is the sketchbook that I took to the con. During opening ceremony, I mentioned the project and told the fuzzies that I was going to fill it over the weekend and that they needed to give me species suggestions. They did. I started it on Friday night, it was auctioned it off on Sunday (at 70% finished), and was wrapped up on Monday. It sold for £250, half of which went to the charity.
The winning bidder helped me decide the final species and I drew his character on the first page. He seemed very happy, which made ME very happy, and all things were wonderful!
Click through to see the drawings! None of these are scanned, so photos are all you guys are gonna get. 🙂

These were really fun for me to do since I almost never do traditional media outside of conventions, and thus only do badges/sketchbooks on commission. I alternated between plain graphite and graphite/prismacolor marker and got to experiment with a lot of different styles and things. Sometimes I was able to get a reference for an animal, but most of the time I sort of just made up (so ignore the janky anatomy plz).
AND HERE IS THE HAPPY WINNER, WHOM I ADORE:
Look,Taro even has a signed print that he bought at the con yard sale!!!
Anyway, it was a lot of work and totally worth it. :3
Delph drove us to the con hotel in a TANK van. There were sheep in the country side. I bought an xacto knife at a crazy store, though it was labeled as a scalpel.

GUESS WHERE I WENT TODAY
Happy Conan Sunday, everyone!
I am just about to leave to catch my flight to visit the UK for Confuzzled! I’ll also get to tour London, which is… just… AHHH :D! But first I have to get across the ocean… shuddershudderahdjskafaksjhfa starting to get REALLY nervous…
(If anything bad happens, though, it was the whales guys… trust me.)
I REALLY HATE the pre-con “no one is going to like me/buy my stuff/take me seriously” jittery feeling.
Everything always ends up fine. I do not need to worry. :I
