Description The "Wait a sec..." is NOT instructions for you, but a thought in the picture. If you can see the first page, it's ready for playing. The preview pic is larger than the flash itself, people.

Well, after a whole day of foot-hurt, I figured I'd share my experience at AX with you all.

In the form of a picture book!

So click away and read about my poorly put together adventures and then complain about how much I didn't mention / see at all.

For those of you who are interested but can't be bothered to look at pictures and read squiggly words, I had fun, but after having already been exposed to so much anime over the years, the excitement isn't quite what it would have been like when I was younger. Anyhow, I feel I didn't properly enjoy it this time, so maybe I'll give it another go next year.

Made in Flash

EDIT: I didn't buy that figurine, folks - I got smaller, more conservative figures and a robot with identity issues . Also, the girl speaking in Japanese is saying "There are too many perverts! I want to die already, dammit!" Furthermore, the day I attended was July 4th - what better way to spend Patriot Day than at a Japanese convention?

EDIT2: The secret to the squiggly art is the DisplacementMapFilter and PerlinNoise .

Some days I feel like just staying on the internet and not leaving the house.

Some days is almost every day when you work from home.

True that! XD Freelancing is way harder, because you actually have to force yourself to work

Never plan on going to a con, although, I wish I could go to one that wasn't full of people. That'd be so cool.

I know you probably don't have time, but could you make a tutorial on how to apply the DisplacementMapFilter and PerlinNoise to achieve this effect?

I might just release the source file next time, since it's not like a tightly guarded secret or anything

The 08 AX was my and my sisters first convention to. I heard some people laughing about someone that hit their head on one of the screens at the deviant art guest book. Was that really you?

JohnSu In reply to Areaith [2010-06-22 22:39:53 +0000 UTC]

Probably. If not, then it was someone else who also hit their head.

you should cosplay so some people wont recognize you and ask you for hugs, since your in a cosplay anyway they'll still hug you and take your picture.

i want a hug....*sniffle*...my friends don't hug me enough.(this is Maxi againmaderline's lil sis who loves to not make her own account for things)
im supposed to be going to No Brand Con in Wassa, WI (i live in sussex, WI) and i'll be staying at my friend Vila-Asian's Auant's house along with 3 other ppl one of which is supposed to be driving the 4 of us up there.....but she as a problem with me. she's worried about driving me up there cuz she doesn't know me too well even though every morning at school im standing with are huge group of friends along WITH HER! DAMN my anti-social personality! *grumble grumble*(srry im venting out how angry i am right now but i have a reason to be angry) u see Vila-Asin and i have been planning out this con ever since we meet. that was last year and it was before i meet Meg the girl whoes driving us and who was invited because we needed another car. this is also to be my first con and i was planning on going as Olette from KH2 and actually i already look like her (yay me) but if i can't go then that means that the second most important person in planning this con is being kicked out and being replaced with someone else who isnt even going to make her own costume. isn't life grand?
srry for wasting ur time cuz ur reading my life story but if u do read this far then please respond back to me and make me feel that at least someone notices me. *emos away to a dark corner to sulk*
P.S. ur little avitar thingy looks like Kyouya-senpai from Ouran High School Host Club....unless its supposed to -.-

I do think it’s weird that when someone from America speaks *or try to speak, but fail* Japanese, its awful and embarrassing to even be in the same building. But when someone from Japan speaks English it’s cool? XD
