i have this like. one defining "fandoms are ok sometimes" moment i think about a lot

at ponycon au 2013 (i think??) i had entered the cosplay competition at the encouragement of my dad and. obviously didnt place on account of me being a whole ass child BUT the crowd was real supportive which was :^333

but the thing i always remember is when the host was checking the range of the mic he jumped down off the stage and came up to me in the front row and said "you! are awesome!" and held out his fist and i kind of. looked at it for a second before tentatively giving him a fistbump

the second my hand touched his the like. 100-200 people in the audience just lost their fucking minds and it was v sweet

Photos from Ponycon AU Seaponies Paradise! 

I had such a great time, everyone was really friendly, it's great getting to know your fellow artists too!

Especially laura-alice-art, whose art is stunning. I was so glad we were lucky enough to be stall mates, it made the weekend so much more fun : D

We also had nazegoreng's incredible plushies on our stalls for display, they're so amazing!!

I also as usual forgot to take photos of most of the weekend's commissions :/ If you got a commission from me, could you link me a photo?

So, not gonna lie, ponycon was really really fun. I have to say that the fanfic panel was a personal favourite. Absolutely fascinating. Makes me consider dipping my toe into the fandom writing world. (Over a million words in other fandoms, none in MLP) It was really inspiring to read of other struggles faced by other writers. The people there were MOSTLY excellent (overheard some gross comments and conversations, but otherwise great and polite people), the traders hall was gorgeous, and the panels were interesting and engaging. I was too shy and awkward to talk to people or make friends, but it was nice. Was admittedly hesitant to come along, but I'm glad I did. Worth the trip!

The Mystery Shack! - with Swampy

[youobviouslyloveoctavia]

Me and quillreplies will be at Ponycon AU tomorrow! I'm probably gonna be bringing my sketchbook and tablet, so I'll likely be up for art stuff. Quill will be busy being a grump as usual. :P

Just look for a tall blonde man (I'll probably have glasses too) and a butch man with a very manly beard.

With just a few days left to go, the PonyCon AU donation drive has hit it's final goal. And it's all thanks to some amazingly generous final donations by our fans. The PCAU team would like to thank every single person who participated in helping out with the fundraiser over the last few months - be it with a donation or just by sharing our announcements.

Without all your help, we never could have got this far.

PonyCon AU and the team are dedicated to bringing the best possible events to Australian Bronies, but we also want to make sure that PonyCon AU suits our unique community. We will do our best to cater to our fans requests, be that specific types of guests, pre-event crowdfunding, and ensuring that our chosen location is available to as many attendees as possible.

Once again, thank you to everyone who has interacted with us and the donation drive - you can expect to hear more from us soon. We're looking forward to the future and all the other events we can bring to you then! As always, if you have any comments or queries, please ask us here in the comments or via private message, we'll do our best to get back to you ASAP!

((OOC: Here we have it guys, the left over art from Ponycon AU that was never claimed.

So what I decided was that I'll post them here, but if you want the originals, (As unlikely as that is) you can buy them for $5 each.

If you are interested, just send me an email at: rogueshadow34@hotmail.com

PCAU Art Stream

The PonyCon AU donation drive is hitting the home stretch with our April deadline fast approaching, and we want to thank every single one of you who has donated to the campaign thus far.

On Sunday, April 19th we will be running an art stream and auction to help us reach our final goal. Featuring a fantastic variety of artists who will be available to do sketches, YCH and more in exchange for donations.

We'll also be running an auction simultaneously, with six original MLP inks from Paul Abstruse, and several other items the community has been kind enough to donate to us.

Don't worry, if you've already donated you won't miss out! To show our appreciation we're giving away twelve pony badge packs and the chance to win a Pony comission from the talented Blu-boisen on Deviantart.

Track the donation progress here: http://ponycon.com.au/sos

Progress shots of 2 of the 3 ponies coloured tonight. Gotta say, I've enjoyed designing and drawing Fool. I didn have to stick to a design, just do what I want. So woo.
