Fan Expo Canada 2013 and The Last of Us!

Let me start by saying it was great, and I'd say for the first year being a vender, I'm happy with the outcome and will be attending  next year!

This post however will primarily be about The Last of Us well and the Expo. Now if I'd been more organized and hadn't had a few curve balls, I would have had a post about my costume before the event, but after will have to do. If you are not familiar with The Last of Us it is a Play Station Exclusive video game that has great game play, great graphics and an amazing character driven plot! One of my favorite games of the year. So for Fan Ex I decided to Cosplay as Ellie a strong willed, rough edged teenager.  

 

 I compiled all the part bit by bit including learning how to silk screen so I could wear her signature T-shirt. I noticed when putting this costume together a lot of detail went into the backpacks of the characters concerting your looking at them for most of the game. This lead my to try and recreate the little monster which appears on her bag through out the game and get custom buttons printed.

  
Because of this costume I meet some awesome people including two of the Dangerous Ladies, who happen to know their way around cosplaying quite well. On the last day of the con I (Ellie) met up with  Jenn (Tess), Brad (Joel)  to do a spur of the moment Last of Us photo shoot. Thanks to Josh of JJAB Productions  For taking these grand shoots!

These are a few of my Favs:

Now to get improving my Costume for the Toronto Zombie walk!

Things are Moveing!

So I've been a bit all over the map lately and not shy to admit it. It really feels like things are starting to get moving  even if it's just a tiny amount . One foot in front of the other! So where has all my time been going you may be asking and to that I say, a number of places. First off is my Etsy Store, besides trying to figure out all this advertising stuff I've been making stock. Which you've read countless times before, but with good reason! I love doing festivals and I am now going to be breaking out into a whole new festival circuit for geeks! Fan Expo! Yes Drunkin' Fish Creations will be selling at Fan Expo this year, yey! No I do not know my table number yet, and  yes I will be there for all four days :] With making lots of stock I have also had the opportunity to buy new products which I am enjoying playing with and seeing what they can do. What else you may or may not ask am I doing with the rest of my time? Well I have a Vloging channel on the go that so far has been an interesting experience... it's really just a baby right now relearning editing  and stuffs. Work in Progress is what that is. Other than that there is of course the real work kind of work and life.
