Monarch fairy and NFC Con-report

EosFoxx

This is the artwork I did for the avatar?user=232734&character=0&clevel=1 NordicFuzzCon (https://nordicfuzzcon.org/Offline/Default.aspx) super sponsor badge.
Their theme was Scandinavian folklore so I did my own vulpine interpretation of the fairies. ;)
Normally I don't use outlines but for badges I figured it would be a bit better due to readability and size.

Not many people ready journals so I would like to add my personal con report here.
It was the first time every for me being guest of honor and it was great in any way imaginable. My mate Jaryic did accompany me.

We arrived one day earlier and dear Pinky and Capeh picked us up from the airport. We got to try some awesome max-burgers and already saw some great landscape on the way to the convention hotel. Arriving finding our room and getting to know the hotel was the next thing to do. I liked the hotel very much. It has little tiny open lobbies all over the hotel which are super cozy and pretty and the perfect place to gather with your friends.

Next day was the day of dramatic voice opening ceremonies. I was not sure what I should say up there so I guessed It would be fun to say a few phrases in Swedish. I made Aoroo help me :> He helped me to translate a phrase about camels and flying burning insects. While saying this on stage I felt like a real viking! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRR and I was glad I could make you all laugh ;) I mentioned that I am 100% hug-gable what made this convention a very fluffy experience what I totally loved - but more about that later.
Next up was the panel "meet the guests of honor" that I did together with the other guest of honor: awesome EZwolf and was moderated by Pinky. It was really fun to do and I was glad people had question and were really interested in meeting us.
I did a speed-painting drawing later in one of the cozy lobbies. I had my surface tablet connected to a big television and did a speed-painting with an frozen river. Funniest question was actually: where did you get that crack for the Photoshop XD ( my answer still is: its a legal version. I have the subscription option they started a year ago. So I only pay around 17 euro per month- pls look it up on the adobe side ;) )
The other panels I did during the convention was "how to draw animals" and "how to dance-for beginners" both was really fun to do and the people always were super friendly and motivated to join in. Thank you soooooooo much for this. I loved it!
They also have two days of dealers den. I had an awesome table and I can only say the very best about the people that dropped by my table. All the hugs and friendly talks.
I should really REALLY mention the hotel food. I never eat that good and healthy at a convention hotel. They served us fresh grilled salmon, black Angus steak, most delicious tacos and there always was a fresh salad buffet. Also I attended one of the best panels I ever have been at a convention: the Eat-Sweden-panel held by Pinky. We really learned a lot about the culture in Sweden and then we got to try some dishes: a traditional rose hip soup, reindeer meet (OMG SO Tasty), and a little dessert :3 Jaryic and I really loved that panel big time. If you can - go there next time!
Also EZWOLF and I did a dance video. What I seen so far looked great. Everyone dancing put in so much work and I hope also had a lot of fun. Great fursuiters to dance with.
Most nights we hang at the bar, together with our friends :) what was really cool. Other furries always could drop by and say hi. During the convention I got soo many hugs ^^ people stopped me shortly in the hallways just to give me a hug and most of the time an awesome conversation would come out of it.
There was one moment in the room where I asked Jaryic if I should be more serious and distant as the guest of honor or if it was okay to be as bouncy, happy and open as I liked to be. He just smiled and said: "that wouldn't be you and they invited you because of how you are, so just stop worrying"
? I had a blast.
I'm still overwhelmed by all the friendly people, all the nice talks and the overall good mood of the convention and staff (or staff and crew - what they call Stew ;) )
Extremely big thank you to neweinstein , traxswe and Pinkyfox for being just awesome in every way. Big thank you to Ezwolf for being an awesome guest of honor as well - it was soo cool you were the other one!
Thanks to my old and new friends hanging out with me ( you know who you are) and all the people that stopped by during dealers den, dinner or in the bar. It was a blast. I remember having a table with furries from at least 5 different countries.

One of the best times of my life? - Yes, without a doubt and without any second guess - YES
