A-Kon 20: The Experience Money Can’t Buy
By Dre | June 4, 2009
So as I mentioned in my previous post, I didn’t have a lot of money to spend at this A-kon.(despite receiving extra funds from relatives) Because of this I only bought a single art book, but not just any ole art book. This is the art of INO. A very famous anime artist.
I won’t post more than this because his work is more of the adult kind which shows VERY clearly throughout the book. If you plan to look more into his work, you now have been warned!!
Here is a speical shout out to Nobody for amazingly finding me throughout all the rabit fandom at A-kon.
Since I didn’t spend 90% of my time looking for things to buy like my past A-kon’s, I was free to try things I always ignored for one reason or another. Specifically the conferences that are held throughout the weekend. These conferences are used for a variety of gatherings ranging from chatting with celebrities to discussing tools and trades of the industry.(yes, the “industry” as a whole XD) The first conference I went to was called “Being a Professional”. This conference included Tony Salvaggio, Brian Denham, and Paul Benjamin whom gave their life story’s about how they struggle to get to the positions they were in while answering questions at the same time. They explained how being humble, friendly and remember-able is key when meeting and making connections in the industry. I enjoyed this conference but not as much as the next one.
The second conference I attended was called “Dealing with Publishers” which was hosted by
Her conference consisted of experiences she gathered from dealing with publisher contracts and not getting screwed over. She also answered a few questions including my own. I learned a lot and plan to use this experience in my future work.
The third conference I attended was called “Reinventing Rockety” with
The last conference I attended was called “The Misfits of Comedy”. It was a “Who’s Line is it Anyway” type of stand up comedy with 5 panelists. A very fun gathering since the crowd was able to participate as well. I wasn’t able to attend more because of timing and the days I attended A-kon. (only Friday and Saturday)
But enough with the crap about me, you want to see the sexy women cosplayers! This year was a very pleasant surprise. Not only did people get more original with their cosplays, but there was a lot of well done outfits. Here is a list of 12 of my personal favorite images in no particular order. The reason it’s 12 and not 10 like last year is because I had a lot of good ones to pick from and decided these 12 needed to be shown. The rest of the images can be seen in the link at the end of the post.
This image came out very nice, natural light is indeed the best!
This image was mainly taken because of the cuteness right in the middle. I actually took 2 of these and the cuteness in the middle was looking at me in both.^^
Following the cuteness in the image before, this one just had to be included in the list. This cosplay is from Lucky Star if your interested.
One bad ass mofo! Nuff said!
Changing gears here, they weren’t really cosplaying, but……..you know………(yeah^^)
Very nicely done cosplays. You could tell they payed very close anttention to the……….Do the impossible, see the invisible!! ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWWA!!!!
More of the same……yeah……you know what I mean………..
The sword hottie from To Aru Majutsu no Index. Yeah!
Tifa from Final Fantasy 7. One can say she really “fits” the criteria. ROFL………………….I thought it was funny………..
A really fine cosplay of
Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Very well done and the image came out great as well.
A character from the 2d fighter Guilty Gears. Again, the image came out very well and she did a really good job on the cosplay.
I did manage to record some video footage here and there but I think I will save that for another time. For now later dayz and enjoy the images.
