Two weeks to go! ::o:

 

Nothing painted in almost a year. Recently moved, everything was packed for months and is still packed, no paint studio set up...

So, is the schedule of events on the Reapercon site accurate? 

I just realized I'd planned on buying some nice brushes from the vendor's hall before my first class, but my first class is at 10am...so that doesn't look to be possible. So...anyone know where I can get quality brushes in the US that can be delivered by or on Monday, August 27?

Competition Minis has a good selection of brushes including Winsor & Newton Sables and have been pretty reliable for fast shipping.

So I finally did something I meant to do for the next time I attended RCon.

 

I ordered myself a pin button with my avatar on it. [Feels like cheating for the Bingo card]

 

Downside is I may or may not receive it by the time I get to RCon. 6-9 days delivery time after manufacturing. And I leave in 10 business days. :unsure: [Fingers crossed]

 

But I'll be ready for RCon 2019, just wait and see! For real! Promise. Sorta. Unless something comes up... HELP!

That's a great idea, Cranky!  Hopefully it gets to you in time!

I just wear xenomorph shirts the whole time. Which is a large part of my wardrobe anyway, so it's literally the laziest way I can possibly identify myself to other people. ::P:

I wouldn't mind having little xenomorph with flower crown pins though :wub: In all different colours. :wub:

Honestly, bringing a new brush you aren't very comfortable with (no matter the quality) really isn't the best thing you can do.  Bring a set from home in a pencil box or a carrying case.  Also, new brushes will still have some of the adhesion substance they use to keep the point will interfere a bit with the painting.  So if you do get a new brush and want to use it immediately, find someone's or your own brush soap and give it a good thorough cleaning. Also, things get lost in Cons all the time, it would suck to lose a new brush day one.

Ah. I didn't think of that. I'm really frustrated right now with my brushes, b/c i can't get any of them to keep a point if the paint on them is even slightly thinned, making blending on small parts nigh impossible.

I should maybe find something wearable, but I do have a Lego name tag that I bought a couple of years ago that I set at whatever table/spot I have claimed at the moment. I want to put together a fishwife costume, like the mini, but with 2 weeks to go it is looking less and less likely.
