So last year, after SO many years of being in the furry community (since 2009), I was finally able to go to Anthrocon 2024 for the first time ever !

This was my first (in-person) convention, and it was genuinely the most fun I've ever had in such a social setting. I tend to be quite introverted, but being around people with a familiar interest, and even seeing fursuiters/artists I have followed for so many years was such a shock to experience /pos

It was such an astronomical experience to just Exist in such a place you've dreamed of being a part of. Meeting your friends for the first time after speaking to them through a screen for so many years, hugging a fursuiter for the first time (which happened to be a Gir fursuiter :] winning ), experiencing the fursuit parade, and just being there is a feeling I hope everyone experiences eventually.

Anyway, here's a little Art Fight attack I did on Tesh and Marine, which is a redraw of an actual Polaroid I own of the three of us waiting to enter the Dealer's Den :] 💜
