Compte-rendu Polymanga 2015 (1/2) [ENG]

It was written since May, but I didn't get to finish it until now.
This year was so much fun, I hope next year's edition will be as nice as this one...! ( ´ ﹀ ` )

PART 1 (here) || PART 2 || MORE PICTURES (coming soon, hopefully)

Friday - 03.04.15

Thanks to rl friends (Orona and Twili), I got the chance to go by car to the con. We arrived in Montreux around 10am, but I had to drop my suitcase and get the key of the place I was staying at, so I got in a bit later. Actually, I started to panic only 10 minutes after because the door wouldn't open. (In the end, it wasn't me: a key was missing. p l e a s e.)

Got in quickly and went straight to the artist alley! You have to go through the entire con to access that part, and I was quite nervous at the moment (what if everyone just forgot andthinksi'mabotherahhhaaa--), but also really excited !! (It's going to be awesome -hopefully- !!! meeting friends again!!!) And then I found Kiwi and met Alqu (also Thaïs later). Hhnng lovely people.
(Kiwi was still writing her prices and I kept interrupting her oh my g od)

There was a chair for me so I stayed there for the 4 days............(´•▿•) The artists' drawing contest, Arting spirit, had started earlier in the day, but since Kiwi wasn't starting (.......okay it miiight have been my fault as well. m(_ _)m), I scribbleeeed. A loooot. (It was live drawing, and wow, this is actually stressful.) After Thaïs arrived, Kiwi explained to us how her table and everything worked cause we were going to help! We went through all her merch and HNNNG LEMME BUY EVERYTHING PLEASE. I'D HAVE BOUGHT EVERYTHING. (If they had let me throw my money at them uhhh....)

Saw a few rl friends who told me that most of the panels and stuff were full an hour and a half before the starting time. whoops (I think it was the same for the 4 days, that was kind of incredible). Met again with rl friends to eat lunch. They lent me their 3DS so that I could play pokemon! In the evening, the ally got pretty empty around 6 (the con closed at 8), so I went through the rows to pester a few people jk rather speak with them!!

Saturday - 04.04.14





I wonder how I can wake up without problem when I'm at a con, but for the rest of the break, oversleep every day until noon ? Uuuugh.





Anyway, I asked (extremely nervously fsafhjkasdfga IS IT RUDE ?? IT'S RUDE RIGHT??? I'M SORRY) Kiwi if I could try doing commissions and she gave me the ok!! I finished colouring a quick sample while she was working on her drawing and set a price up! (Kiwi built a stand at the speed of the light THAT WAS INCREDIBLE AS WELL) The first people who asked were couples, couples--- and duos. In the end, I accepted a duo but I was so anxious that I gave them a huge discount.........(´•▿• ;;;;)..........(because I was scared of not getting any other commission....) 

 
Well, it was more time-consuming than I thought (mostly because I'm slow though) and I stressed a lot about them !! Sorry to Kiwi, who had to put up with all my whining and worrying ;;;;; Once I got them done, I went to the Goodsmile booth to buy the things I wanted, but the one I really wanted was sold out (pUNCHED MYSELF INTERNALLY for not going earlier) ! We worked that out in the end though!!

No premade dinner that night cause the Polymanga staff had invited everyone to a pizza party. It was really weird though. Like, really, realllyyyyyy weird. And scary. You could see people literally fighting for a slice of pizza when they arrived. Most of us didn't get one so we grabbed anything that was not pizza, aka drinks and...tissues. Well, free drinks still means freeeee. We also managed to kind of venture into a weird place while looking for the pizzas.


Basically, the organization of the thing was so weird. We got two whole pizzas later though, so all's good. (and somehow ended up talking about cockroaches and spiders and cats while eating mmmhh) oh and Erumin wore her Junko cosplay that day and she was reallyyy cute!!!!

Stayed up late to finish a commission! and then dropped dead zzzzzZZ

I!!! want those figures!!!

And cats!!! and alpacas!! ;_;
