Yadda yaddda, you know the drill, I cant remember what I did today so I draw something kinda neat from a videogame I played. It’s all I really do when I’m not working, drawing, or, you know, being cool.
Goddammit Savannah, we need more Monster Hunter players, what’s wrong with you?!!
Holy cow, was this a crazy day. Thankfully Id already lugged my crap into the artist alley the night before, so I was fully prepared in that respect, but after setting up my meager table, I knew not what awaited me:
The Table, Who's layout would be changed many a time.
And to start off… woo yeah, slow going. people barely each stopped to look at the prints, almost as if they were afraid of some sort of punishment for touching it! I’ll have to find a friendlier way to show off the prints next time.
The comics were getting some good look-over time, though I began to doubt the idea was good. After I while I started to get really bored while con-goers waddled about the floor, and not looking at my stuff, Kara, Witney and Cali, my partners in crime, assured me that friday’s were always slow, and it always picks up on Saturday.
While this may be true,I became extremely restless, and decided to wander the floor with my good friend Tom, who I’d known for years via the information super highway, and so we decided to visit the dealer’s room to find the true treasure I was searching for:
Monster Hunter: Illustrations, The Jewel of the Dealer Floor!
After that small spurt, and a recharge of the tummy-tank, I was back in the alley, and I’d learned that some folk had stopped by to see me! And they left their names on my guestbook.
So, I started sketching Captain’ K’nuckles, since I really didn’t have anything going on, and I left the sketch on the table, and THAT caught people’s attention! Suddenly people would actually stop in their tracks to see me! I’d stumbled on a secret weapon…
But then I decided to go get inebreated with Tom and watch the dub of Evangelion 1.0, and that was pretty sweet. Afterwards, we were going to a panel about voice acting, but the line was too damned long, so we decided to part ways and get some sleep.
A perfect end to a perfect day! Perhaps tommorow will show prominence?! FIND OUT SOON!
(Note: The Otakon Experience is atleast 10% time spent waiting on lines to see something, it’s a must, since there’s about 30,000 nerds running about the damned place!)
So, I’d been feeling bad that I don’t hang out with my buddy Routt as of late, and that we haven’t been exploiting the awesomness that is Monster Hunter multiplayer. So I finally get to hang out, and I get a call!
I’d been telling my good buddy Sean Knickerbocker of Danger Park fame, that I’d help him and Alex Bullett move whenever they needed help, and I guess I’d always imagined it would be on July 1st, and luckily I had the day off!
Turns out, he’d done a majority of the moving the day before, so I felt he would need my help that day, so I made plans to hang with Josh… and then this wackiness happens! WOOPSIE DOODLES! But it’s cool I ended spending the night with Sean, hanging outside his sweltering apartment, with guest stars Pranas and Alex. Drinkin’ beers and talking comics.
Ah well, there’s always tommorrow for Mosnter Hunter!
So I’ve been playing a ton of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite these days. Mostly because it’s one of my all-time favorite games, ever. Probably the only games that makes you feel like you’re actually tracking down a monster for realz. Of course, writing comics about the videogames I play sounds really lame, and super ultra pandering.
Well you know what? I wanna pander today, because I really want people to own this game, so I can have a four-person Monster Hunting party dammit! I need somebody to help me take down the Tigrex!
So buy the game, so they can make more of these awesome games!!
