con dump!!!!! long post ahead!!!
for the past two days, i've been at my first anime con ever! it was really fun seeing so many cosplays and seeing so much art and merch.
while i was there, i was lucky enough to see some bandori merch! i saw this Yukina figure, and even though i didn't buy it, i still appreciated the fact that it was there. i also saw some figures of Kasumi and Ran
there was also some gachapon machines too! i put a token in an Afterglow machine and i got this cute Himari pin!
i also bought a Poppin Party mystery box, and i got Arisa!!
and here's a few more miscellaneous stuff i bough as well!
and yeah, i bought a mini print from an artist there! she was super sweet, and she recognized me from when i went to her stand the previous day. she even sighed the back of my print!

Day 29: Favourite 4☆
It couldn't be anything else (sorry Samurai Eve and NFO Rinko I still love you a lot). Arisa's previous cards were cute and nice but got overshadowed by others I liked more—then this masterpiece showed up completely unprompted. Craft Egg you can't just do this to a girl's heart and walk away like everything's fine
It's like . . . like looking at some sort of fairyland. I have this beautiful illustrated book about fairies that I read a lot as a kid and the background is reminiscent of the art in that, if more pastel but just as sparkly and harmonious. Pink, blue and purple have always been my favourite combination of colours and the yellow adds some really lovely warmth to it.
And the details! The hair the hair oh god. You can see it's kinda wet with the strands clumping a bit and the soft ruffles of the swimsuit and the sheer sparkly bit behind her and the flowers and beads ghhh. And her expression?? Putting aside the fact that it punched the life out of me, it's really refreshing to see something so in character but different to what she typically gets, which involves a lot of flustered shock and awkward smiles in untrained art (including the untrained of this lmao), and generally smiles in trained art.
