Now here's the part where I show you all the great stuff I collected at Comikaze 2015! I already posted about my time at the convention and how I met a lot of really cool artists. This blog post is just to show my Comikaze haul!
[IDW's Fiendship Is Magic subscription covers by Sara Richard]
Here are the 4 subscription covers that were drawn by Sara Richard. If you look at the "P" in the Pony part of the titles you'll see her signature where she signed them! There is a 5th cover featuring Rainbow Dash, but she didn't have it at the convention. It was still really great to meet her! She was super nice!
[art & Niobe collected at Comikaze]
From Left to Right:
- Sailor Moon art print by Amber Harris. This particular Sailor Moon fan art really caught my eye. It is well done, but also depicts a version of Sailor Moon in a more stronger and sassier character.
- Niobe comic by Amandla Stenberg and Sebastian Jones, art by Ashley A. Woods. This comic has been gaining a lot of notoriety lately and I had to check it out! The people of Stranger Comics were really awesome to talk to at the convention!
- "Memories of a Kitty" by Sean Danconia. My friend and I passed Sean Danconia's table and saw kawaii Hello Kitty art! We had to have a print! Danconia's work is amazingly detailed and unique! All of his art is something to take in!
[fan art from Comikaze]
- Garnet, chibi Miku, and Bill Cipher are by Melissa Douglas. I had caught her work before at other conventions earlier this year, but hadn't bought anything. This time I snagged some cuties! She seemed to have a lot more art at her table at this convention too. Her Garnet print is what really caught my eye!
- Sailor Mars by Melody Wang. I had previously purchased this print and for a reason unknown, I cannot find it, so I had to re-buy it. Her work is awesome and she is in the process of creating every sailor scout!
[DMC by Darryl McDaniels]
This is the print and the graphic novel from Darryl McDaniels of Run-DMC. I had the pleasure of meeting him and getting a photo with him. He was very sweet!
[My Little Pony art by DrawPonies]
Here are the 3 prints I bought from the artist known as: DrawPonies. His creative pony art drew me in, but it was his charming personality that sold me!
[rainbow narwhal by Bellzi]
I'm not even going to hide the fact that my Rainbow Narwhal by Bellzi is my absolute favorite souvenir from Comikaze! The rainbow narwhal was on display at Bellzi's booth and I really wanted it! Turns out though that one cannot just simply buy the Rainbow Narwhal; no, it has to be won! They are put into mystery bags that cost $40 and there's a chance one will be in there.......and there's a chance that it won't be. Well, I was gifted a mystery bag with a rainbow narwhal in it and I couldn't be happier! I love her! I named her Natasha and she's been a highlight in my plushy collection! Even as I carried her around at the convention I received a lot of positive and exciting comments from people who saw her. - These rainbow narwhals have been at other conventions that Bellzi has attended and it is the same situation where they are put in mystery bags and there is a chance to win one. These are not even listed on their website. So, if you want one, your best bet is to get to a convention that Bellzi is attending!
