Animania: Travel and Fun

Yesterday we took the four hour train to Redfern and another four hours back to visit the Anime convention, Animania. I wish I had have taken photo’s while we were there but I was too shy to ask any one or take my camera out and record some of the dancing, cosplayers or cosplay performances.

The highlight on my day would have been the preliminary Cosplay winners. The first performance was a Code Geass cosplay fight. I fan-girled all over that shit. There were also sword men but I missed that and K-Pop dancers which I highly enjoyed. It wasn’t as big and varied as I would have hoped but still great for my first convention. There was also giant twister and human chess! The voice actor for Pikachu was also there!

I found a video of the K-Pop dancers from yesterday on youtube!

Bellow are some picture of the day mostly traveling:

Sary stayed over my house the night before. We chatted on facebook while we were in the same room.

Sary!

I curled my hair in vintage curlers that were my grandmothers for the first time.

Sary straightened hers.

 Next were the usual train-station outfit pictures but the majority of people were not there on time.

Sary was a fox person.

Xary was Xary.

Nigel was a man in a suit.

I was just me.

On the train:

Kitty was Ad

Xary had no idea Anuan was doing that.

Nawww. :3

 The top hat was passed around to everyone. Some drunks on the train also tried to steal it.

 Pictures of the landscape:

You can see us!

 In the line to Animania: We found a squirtle. 

Nigel and Alex.

You see that kid in the white skirt on the right side? We have no idea who he is and where the hell he came from.

Anna was Yuki from Vampire Knight.

James was Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

Kitty and Anuan were Moist von Lipwig and Adora bell Dearheart from Going Postal.

Next are some pictures from waiting for the train home.

ROVE!

Underground train-tracks.

Billboards.

All of my friends that came and me. I organised where everyone stood myself!

I think this is one of the best edit’s I have ever done. Xary as a Heartless from Kingdom Hearts.

James (Sora) slaying the Heartless (Xara) in a train-station.

Ronnie was the personification of an Absol from Pokemon.

This is Nicole, dressed as Gara from Naruto, with Alex’s Sword.

It’s blurred but I still like it.

Me on the floor of the train on the way home.

 There were no seats at all and I got stuck inside a door at one stage. It was a great day, even though I had horrible stomach pains on the way home and the customer service was horrible.

I hope you enjoyed!

Xara Alice: Artist and Friend.

Xara Alice is one of my great friend’s, who happens to have pictures on this blog. She is also the person who designed, coloured and everything in betweened my blog header. She has always been a great artist, and I envy her for that, and I know she will love that I’m taking her up in this article but would never admit it. Hehe.
Ms Alice has a tendency towards cartoon and comic’s these days, with the assistance of her new tablet. She’s working on small comic, which actually includes me, called Zombie Pocalypse(Yes it’s spell like that). It’s less a comic than a series of picture’s (rule’s) that somewhat relate to each other through the character’s, the basic situation and the fact that they tend to relate to our everyday lives as friends. Also, our mascot is a kick-ass zombie walrus!

Xara also enjoys Naruto, she’s working on the Naruto one hundred theme challenge at the moment, and generally other drawing’s, sketches and artworks.

With that said, she’s isn’t totally consistent and would never be able to run by a schedule but it does mean that her work is inspired and have lots of “in the moment” spirit.

Anyway, she just recently made a BlogSpot and I’ve been meaning to write about her for a while to inform you of where my wonderful header came from and to credit her.
