Random thoughts

So I actually booked for a Convention this year. Problem is, I left it too late following a big announcement which I failed to notice on twitter and had to go with regular ticket as all the Golds had gone.

I was enticed by Starfury's Ultimates in June.  Hayley Atwell and Enver Gjokaj were announced and I thought what the hell.  May be a bit of a punt to get Hayley's auto & photoshoot as she is only there two days but it will be a good opportunity for the new camera to show me what that zoom can do, and in low light as the lighting at those events isn't the kindest to photographers. Plus  I'll be a way back from the stage as a normal punter.  Brett Dalton, B J Britt, Bridget Regan  and Dichen Lachman from Agents of SHIELD/Carter are all booked to appear too. I've had the pleasure of meeting Enver & Dichen before but not the others. Starfury sometimes have surprise guests too so it would be cool if they were more Marvel ones.  Should be fun.

Oh and it's at the Norbreck in Blackpool. I went to my very first Convention (Which happened to be Starfury's End of Days for Angel the Series) there in 2003. Ah happy memories.

Now I need to break out the art materials to do some portraits for autographs.

So Invasion 2 - this weekend. A good time was had although I didn't feel much in the mood to boogie at the parties which was a shame 'cos I heard most of the guests were bustin' out their best moves. Mix of Sci-Fi shows - Dollhouse, Stargate Universe, BSG & Caprica and the Guild.  Eliza made it this time so yay.

I've booked three Conventions this year (!!) and the first one is Echo- 1 (Dollhouse)  in May.  We have Dichen, Miracle Laurie, Fran Kranz and Tahmoh Penikett confirmed so I thought I'd better pull my finger out and start sketching. I'm crossing everything in the vain hope that we'll have a surprise guest in the shape of Enver/Olivia/Harry (or even Eliza?)    oh, anyone on the cast really.    It's likely I'll do a montage of 'dolls' and 'rossum employees' to cover all eventualities.

Phew lots of photos to sort through.  And muddled brain to rack - acrazywench took shorthand notes of the Q&A 's but I tried to remember things from the Meet and Greet & autograph sessions.

Awesome group shot from Starfury - love the 'whodunnit ' montage. Especially Summer and Felicia's poses.  To see all the photos click on the Guests names to go to the page in the text under the cut.



( Day One - Opening ceremony and the Meet and Greet  )

Day Two - Q&A's ( Q&A's and autograph sessions. )

ETA : All the photos are up you have to click through the links on the site

You make fan art of course!!!  (and rip clips ' till you're bored silly)   

I've avoided doing too many dollhouse related pieces until I get to see the show which, seeing as the UK are not down for yet (or is that ever?)  will be by nefarious means, no doubt.   

Mostly from promo pics I bring icons and two of walls. Here are a couple of teasers and the rest for the sanity of my flist are behind the cut. 

 

( the rest are here ..... ) In other less exciting news I actually started a new vid project - back on familiar ground, source wise,  but floundering again with an editing program that I am 'revisiting'. Seriously, for all the flack that gets flung around about WMM there are somethings that other programs make so goddamn difficult.  Then again, it might just be me.
