dementordelta was kind enough to send me pics of two of the drawbles I made for her in the Snarry Suite. (Have I mentioned how damn fun that suite was?)

This one was done using posed Snarry dolls. Sadly, there were no dolls posing for the first one. :(

And finally, the base line art from my Draw Your Own Snarry Tutorial (which was a godforsaken disaster on so many levels.)

I had requested AV equipment that was a live feed overhead display. Very much like the overhead projectors of yore, but because they are digital, you don't need to use a tranparency, you can draw on regular paper, and by magical, mystical zip a dee doo da, the image appears on the big screen. (uh. .. just like the machine that I used for my Colour your own Snape workshop at Azkatraz)

I was assured there would be one there. Then, when the drama of me not going to the con (due to work related shitstorms), I contacted the peeps at Infinitus, to tell them I would infact be going, and oh, did I mention that I needed this magical contraption? Yes, they assured me that I HAD requested it, and that it would be there.

Do I need to tell you that it wasn't? Well, it wasn't.

There was an AV thing, but it was a hook it up to your computer type thing. I draw with a pencil.

My 'prefect' was a pretty damn cute cos-play Snape, and he did his best to find me the right stuff, but sadly, it was not to be. So ... how do I show an 800 square foot room the minute details of shading on a 8.5x11 piece of paper?

I ran to the art gallery's drawble tables and ripped off one of their large easel type sheets, ran back to the room and 'sketched' a quick rendition of my tutorial Harry.

Then, I used stickers to 'tape' it to the wall and proceeded to teach the class fine details by using massive huge strokes. *sigh*

Did I also mention that the table to chair ratio was inadequate? Even though I had spoken to someone about it the day before?

Did I also mention that at the same time as my scheduled workshop, 99% of the con was attending A Very Potter Sequel? (which I had never even heard of before, because I am old and not cool.)

Oh well. It worked out anyway. I had around 30 people show up, which was a pleasant surprise. And the people who DID show up were lovely and fun and very understanding of the multiple snafoos. I honestly was expecting 5 or less, due to the show that was on. The person who had booked the room before me cancelled, because she didn't think anyone would show up.

/rant I'm over it now. No, really I am. ~~sort of~~
