PHEW! what a a weekend, certainly worth taking work off!

Eirtakon really surprised me, as it was my first time going. But the turnout was awesome, it was so cool to see my own countrymen and women cosplaying and expressing love for good ol manga and anime! FIGHT ON!

The workshop went great! I got to meet lots of budding comic artists, which really makes me happy, I really do want to see more Irirsh artists emerging in the next few years, and I could certainly see a few that are well on their way! I, of course, didnt leave without getting a few of their DA accounts, so here are a few pieces from them

by Who doesn't love a bit of Ouran! I was really surprised by the her use of colour, considering she does her work traditionally, its a real skill to select the colours well!

by How cool is this! I didnt get to see any art from him at the con, but I am very impressed!

by I really love the expression in this piece, sort of makes me feel scared!

by I really love her style, it's very different, and also, great colouring skills! love them lips! (she also had my fave cosplay of the con!)

by who's work is ridiculously detailed! she really wowed me with her stuff!

by who has done HEAPS of comic work, which always impresses me, Pinups are one thing, but when people actually go ahead and put comics together, it takes so much work, so I'm really happy to see it!

and last but not least

by who has got some great pencil work, and comics to boot! nice!!


So these are just a few of the FABOOSH talent found at Eirtakon! long may it last!
