Will call was on Friday, thankfully I went because of the lines for it the next day. It started to rain So thankfully I brought a walking dead hoodie with me and we had to wait about 2 hours to get my grand admission 2 day tickets and photo op for Norman Reedus (Daryl). Already saw someone cosplay as Andrew Lincoln (Rick) who fooled quite a lot of people as most of them started taking pictures with him and shouting out "Andrew".

Line on Saturday was INSANELY long, 12,000 people lined up. Imagine an airport passport control right before you aboard, them lines make you annoyed because of walking left, right, left, right and so on due to the barriers. Arrived at about 9:30, meaning only VIP, GOLD and PLATINUM tickets were allowed in first as grand admission are only being let in at 10:30. However, due to so many people lined up for GA, had to wait about 3 hours to get into the building, which I didn't mind to be honest because I was way too excite for my first time at the convention. Some people dressed as walker started walking around and scaring people in lines. Once I turned around and a walker was staring right at my face up close, I slightly jumped and smiled to myself.
Some people, after waiting hours in the line were turned out and were not let in due to them wearing bags that exceeded the allowance, for example only see through backpacks were allowed, only handbags and tote bags or any other small bags that you can just open and right away see what's in there were allowed. Therefore people with normal backpacks were not let in. I got annoyed at the fact that they started complaining about it, considering it literally tells you what you can't and can bring to the convention.

Right as soon as I got in I went to see a few panels, which included Khary and Cooper (Ezekiel and his helper who's name I forgot). They both are funny people, surely made me laugh a couple times along with the audience. Since it was Cooper's birthday, the audience sang happy birthday to him along with khary. Then. Khary started talking about how people didn't care in the show when his men died, but when the tiger died everyone suddenly got shocked and sad. Ezekiel and shiva walking dead Ezekiel and Carol walking dead 

After that, all GA fans were forced to exit the panel and re-exit for the next one which would start in 10 minutes. Meaning, if you got a good seat you'll have to abandon it for the next panel. And due to the line up there is a higher chance of someone else taking that good seat because of the people closer to the exit who get to the line up faster, and those seats are further away from the stage, meaning you'll be further away from the stage than you already were before unless you manage to line up before the panel ends. Besides, right after a panel, it is very crowded so hard to squeeze through to be in the first line for the upcoming panels.

Next panel I saw included Pollyanna (Jadis) :bademoticon: , Austin (Dwight), Steven (Simon) and Steven (Nicholas). It was also a really funny panel, Simon and Nicholas had a really good sense of humour. The crowd especially loved Steven Ogg (Simon). The interviewer asked the audience which one is the most likely to rive over the seasons and the audience mostly cheered for Simon and the saviours, but when it came to Nicholas, Nicholas cheered for himself along with some of the audience, which made it even more funny, considering Nicholas never had an army.

Afterwards, I looked around Olympia, there was a walker maze charging people £5 per entrance per person. There were a lot of stalls that sold merchandise, not just Walking Dead but also Game of thrones, Guardians of the galaxy, Avengers, Stranger things, Annabelle, Chucky and etc. The stuff was a lot cheaper (surprisingly) than what you'd pay in a local comic book store. For example, everywhere I've seen, even online, Daryl pop vinyl figures are £15-20, but in the event, it only cost £10. People were selling all kinds of stuff, jewellery, Lucilles, Daryl's crossbows, giant groots, annabelles in many sizes, talking chukies, keychains, clothes, posters and anything else you'd expect from a comic book store with extra.

However, do not buy food or drinks at the event, it's not worth it, bring your own as a small bottle of water costs £2.50.

I made friends with this lady in the que for Norman Reedus (Daryl) :bademoticon: :bademoticon: :bademoticon: , we started talking about him, how sweet he is and etc. Then spoke about supernatural and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan), about his part in it as John Winchester. Saw Norman act like a diva and get out of his photo op tent then get back in 2 minutes later after he was done making a small circle around the fans.

For the photo op on Saturday, I was group C, so the photo op was at 4pm for me. Norman called me cutie as he stretched out his arm for a side hug to pose for the photo. He said "Awh, you alright, cutie?" before the picture was taken. I said "Can't wait for death stranding" and after it was taken he replied "It will be good, it will be amazing". Shame I could only say a sentence due to the fans having to come in, get a photo taken and get out. I would have wanted an autograph from him just so I could have spoken to him more, however, if you haven't bought it previously, only GOLD and PLATINUM have access to it (For cash sales). Then VIP and only then GA. But it would of been worth it for whatever the price would of been because I would of preferred to talk to him for 2 minutes instead of 2 seconds like I did. I paid £120 for the photo and do not regret it, I love the way it turned out and just being next to him was a great experience, considering he's been my favourite actor for about 4 years now. I also remember how nice he smelled :D as if he sprayed 5+ bottles on himself.

I saw Jeffrey (Negan) :bademoticon: :bademoticon: :bademoticon: briefly, hugging a fan. Was Interesting to see him in real life.

On Sunday the lines were quite faster but just because I arrived at 10:30 which was already the time when they began to let people in. This time I only had to wait about 1 hour and 30 minutes because of the faster moving lines than Saturday where we had to wait a lot. Before I got into the loooong line, the security checked for deodorants, which were not allowed apparently and other stuff like usual (e.g. weapons, harmful liquids and etc.). Took a look down at the security's table and saw a huge stash of deodorants, like oh wow, a lot of walking dead fans bring that stuff to the convention. As soon as they check your bag they put on a sticker around a handle as an approval.

If you want to go to the toilet - good luck. Just don't ask, just good luck.

I met Tom Payne (Jesus) Jesus walking dead Jesus walking dead Jesus walking dead  on that very day. We said hi, then hugged then he asked me where I was from, after I answered, I gave him my phone and asked him if we could take serious and silly selfies. He took like 6 when I expected him to only take a few. I think it was worth it considering I paid £40 for it. He was a really nice guy. Then I asked if jesus was gay and he answered "yes", I said "Is he actually?" and he reassured "yep" then I said "Cuz I ship him and Daryl" so he joked saying "Fingers crossed". 
Anyways, I already saw the difference in how much time you get when you're in a photo op (seconds) and when you're in a line for autographs/selfies (minutes).
In the line for Tom Payne I saw a pair of cos-players, one as Jesus and the other as Clementine Clem Epic face 

After that, I watched a panel with Michael Rooker (Merle) Merle walking dead zombified Merle walking dead Merle walking dead , which was also very entertaining, he spoke about Black Ops and his role in GOTG (Yondu).  POP! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 - Yondu Yondu Guardians of the galaxy Yondu Guardians of the galaxy Yondu Guardians of the galaxy 

As I went upstairs I passed Steven Ogg (Simon) :bademoticon: :bademoticon: Simon you got a pen emoticon  without even realising. I so badly wanted to say that he had ONE job, Spoilers to kill one and he killed everyone but one. But oh well, was nice enough.

Next year I promised myself to get at least VIP tickets so I could skip the lines and enter 1 hour early (9:30 instead of 10:30).

P.S. The actors seemed quite short in reality :D and throughout the whole comic con, only saw people cosplay as Negan, Carl, Rick, Rosita, Jesus, Clementine, Walkers, Carol - but none as Daryl haha.

Couple months ago or more we have posted an announcement of this contest, yet we got only one submission -.- We are not sure what to do .-. Did you ever have that passionate feeling about doing a project and ask for help to generous people on deviantart? then realize that most of the people didn't even want to participate because of the lack of prizes? Well, wow.... I don't.. I just can't even describe the feeling.... I have no idea whether we should extend the deadline or not but.... I have no words...
About the contest:

so me and :iconmypinklifecoc: been working on an otome game. Yes, as long as it sounds so cheesy, it's a visual novel game about zombie apocalypse. Of course it sounds so cheesy but the plot may interest you as the purpose of it is to make you sad, happy and intimitaded at the same time. It's about the true nightmare and troubles that will follow you and your story will be based on your choices.

Anyway, the game itself is not why we're here. The contest purpose is to make as many talented artists to participate as possible. All of the entries that will meet the style of the game (that will be digital art) should be or will be in the game. (if you followed the rules and met the style of course)

now a confesion to make about this game:
Since none of us, neither me nor :iconmypinklifecoc: are 'pros' at coloring is the main reason why we're holding the contest. We already are using some sprites we found online (creators will be credited at the end of the games, same with people who entered the contest) but it does not mean the game will be bad: it will have music, sound and probably some voice acting. The trailer will come out. But neither of us know exactly when. Hope to see you play the game though, even if you're not participating, we're glad you're still reading this :D 

Oh and the game will be FREE to play. ^^


Let's start with prizes, because we both know that's mostly why you're here for ^^ (well that and have a good time)

note that you can submit prizes to any places, it would be appreciated as it would help develop our project

prizes:

1st place: 
300 points, 
requests from :iconmypinklifecoc: (she draws traditional portraits)
3 chibi requests from me, 
40 favs,
 forever feature on MY profile, 
a llama and watch from me and :iconmypinklifecoc: 
Multimedia artwork from :iconsls-scifiandart:

2nd place: 
100 points, 
1 request from :iconmypinklifecoc:,
1 chibi request from me
30 favs,
a llama and watch from :iconmypinklifecoc: and me
Watercolor artwork from :iconsls-scifiandart:

3rd place: 
50 points, 
1 chibi request from me
20 favs,
a llama and watch from :iconmypinklifecoc: and me
ink artwork from :iconsls-scifiandart:

Every single person who enters the contest and submits artwork will get a llama badge

Now it's time for the rules: 

1.You're NOT allowed to steal someone else's work.
2.You MUST draw according to the theme.
3.Your artwork WILL be in the game if it's the same style as the game (if you're drawing a character that we gave you to draw, it must have the same style and look the same)
I have no idea if you understood this ^ but I hope u did :D
4.You should NOT use bases. 
5.It CAN NOT be a traditional artwork or photography, neither craft or anything like that wouldn't match the game (Means digital art is a must)
6.You CAN'T let anyone else besides us use your submission.
7.You CAN submit as many artworks as you want. Even after the contest is over, support would be appreciated A LOT.

Now this is your task:

:bulletgreen: There are couple themes and you can choose which one you wanna draw :bulletgreen:

1.CUTSCENE DRAWING
Choose a character you wanna draw with the main character (player) and a guy you wanna draw having a romantic/stressed moment.
It should look like a Cutscene of them for example being ambushed by zombies and one of the guy characters trying to calm down the main character. Don't forget it's zombie apocalypse but it doesn't mean they can't have romantic moments. Something like them looking at the ruins of a city and standing on the roof would do just fine. Or one kissing the other passionately. Or maybe even hugging or the guy protecting the girl with his body. Maybe an ironic scene of one of the guys getting bit.
you can even draw the main character doing something with her friends, like running away from zombies or trying to hold the doors to block zombies from coming in.
Plus you can draw the any of those characters (pictures below) holding their weapon and about to defend themselves.
SOME PART OF THE STORY COULD BE BASED ON YOU DRAWING SO CHOOSE WISELY. SOMETHING PEOPLE WOULD ENJOY READING. sorry for caps ^^

A picture should be 800x600 size.

2.GUEST CHARACTERS OR ZOMBIES
 A vector/render (as in a character without a backround or transparent, png.) Like a guest zombie survival manga character who seems dirty bit well equipped, maybe a nurse, police officer (which would come in useful for scenes that happen during the outbreak) or simply zombies. Such as mom zombie, dad zombie or any kind of zombie (but in manga/anime style). The only limit is your imagination. Make us feel surprised, do something you'd wish to see in a game.

Vector/character should be 800x600


3.BACKGROUND

A picture of a backround full of zombies on the street or anywhere would be appreciated. yep, such backgrounds as panicking people, street with explosions and car accidents would be mostly appreciated. Also abandoned house interiors. For anything else you can choose what you wanna do. Abandoned metro, inside of a prison or bloody hospital, it's up to you! you're free to choose whatever you want. ^^

background should also be 800x600 size

now finally, characters for you to see (if you chose cutscene theme) who you should draw: (Most won't have names yet, so it's up to you of what title you wanna choose)

Main character (the player): weapon: Bow and arrows, knife or a gun

Guys:
guy1: weapon: pistol or rifle
guy2: weapon: pistol
guy3: weapon: sword
guy4: pistol and explosives

Main character's best friends:
Abbie: weapon: sword, knife or pistol
Sam: Pistol 

pictures of them: imgur.com/a/HpUzo and imgur.com/a/vYLKT

Now remember, you'll be credited. and awarded with a llama if you won't win. AND your work will be featured in the game if it will meet the style of it (look like characters) again, I have no idea if you got it .-.

we're looking forward into your imagination. And hoping we'll have more than 20 people who'd like to participate.

please support us by sharing/faving this journal.

I am sorry for not being so active. 

Anyway I don't want to write a big comment, so......

who knows that story (the big four in hogvarts)... well, to those, I want to say that I'll have grammar update soon. Since my grammar was really bad. I am not saying that it's good now, but... better then before at least.

hey, can I ask you something?

there is one guy that goes to my school and when he sees me he says hi to me with a smile and we make eye contact while we say it. but I'm the only girl he says hi to. Yes, I noticed that he doesn't say hi to other girls, I'm the only one. even though we don't know each other well, we only talked twice, that's all. also he stares at me a lot. can it mean something? or is he just friendly?
