I like it when unexpected things happened to my favor. They’re mostly little things but never failed to brighten my day. Last week I attended Norwescon. It was a smallest con I’ve ever attended, only 3500 of attendance, set in the hotel. The best thing about the con was that a lot of attendees dressed up in awesome costumes, not necessarily just cosplay but general period and steampunk stuff, a lot of pirates and knights from various era. I spent most of my time walking around with @bicyclefish, attending panels, one of the panel is introduction to Armor, ran by Dameon Willich. I spent the time in the panel sketching him because he was wearing an awesome armor. Afterward, I showed it to him and found out he had worked with DC and Wizard of The Coast. He gave me a signed artist’s proof card (the back is blank) and gave me encouragement I much needed.

(on a side note, when you bump into someone in Seattle, good chance that they work or had worked for Microsoft, Boeing, Wizard of the Coast or a few other game studios)

Another awesome unexpected thing was that I got my Guild Wars 2 artbook (which I got for free from PAX ’09) signed by A LOT of people from Arenanet, thanks to Horia Dociu.

And thus end the awesome April for me, until next month!
