-A Redheart commission from Rai
-A Redheart commission from JJ
-Celestia print from Valcron/Dreatos

-OC commission from Spittfire
The hotel keycards were also super cute and had the Trotcon mascot on them. Had a really great time, made some new friends, and also got to meet some of my own fans (which I wasn't expecting). Gonna go sleep in a bit.
You know, I never get tired of saying how jealous I am of people who could go to Trotcon. I live so freaking close to Columbus, and I couldn't put together the coin for the trip. I mean, it's like three hours which is a trip I'd be willing to take. I mean, there aren't cons in Michigan and before you say I should try to get the local bronies to try and organize one I want to say that we have. Repeatedly.
Nice swag!

There were a lot of really great artists there. Some I had never heard of before (like Aspendragon, holy shit is she good). Also bumped into ROBCakeran, and we talked a bit -- was rather amusing.
I CAN'T HOLD ALL THIS NURSEPONE
1149940 Sounds like you live in Northern Ohio to Southern Michigan. Maybe next year you can call up the Michigan Bronies to help you get down there. They tend to work pretty closely with the Ohio Bronies (who put together the con)
1150071 Awesome meeting you in Artist alley, Vargras. Hopefully I'll see you again next year!
1150189 Southern Michigan, and last year wasn't bad (though I couldn't get to TrotCon and went to Canterlot Gardens instead). Recent money crunch just squashed getting there this year. Keeping in touch with the local bronies is difficult but that's mostly scheduling conflicts preventing regular contact.
Shame about no Canterlot Gardens this year though.
