Ok - took the kiddo to a Brony Convention and spent all my money. This year they were very kid friendly. I got in for only $10! They give a free adult ticket with a kid ticket. Nice.
We went to the Voice Actors panel. The direct had Tom Waits shirt on. Nice. They did basically a whole episode right there for us (I think it was a fan fiction by St. Germain).
Here is her loot.
Signatures of Voice Actors:
Nicole Oliver who does Princess Celestia, Tree Hugger, and Cheri Lee. She gave my kid a free mini comic.
Ashleigh Ball who does Applejack, and my kid’s hero, Rainbow Dash.
And we got a pic with her.
Tabitha St. Germain who plays Rarity, Princess Luna, Muffins/Derpy, and who should be teaching kids theatre in a school some where with her infectious energy. She gave my kid an extra print, and an actual MLP toy/action figure.
Cosplay, etc:
Rairty and Chrystalis
Pinky Pie as a Stormtrooper. Her Party Cannon couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn.
Boba Fett/Luna Mashup
Prototype MLP VR game. The googly eyes on a $600 Occulus Rift set up is genius.
Artwork:
We went to the Foal area and they had stencils to make your own pony. So I made Sashca from KMFDM.
Mashup of MLP and Steven Universe
At the Foal Area, there were not a lot of kids there, and Dana Simpson was going to do a “Unicorn Session”. She thought about reading from her book - Pheobe and the Unicorn, but also suggested she could draw. Me and my kid were the only ones paying a lot of attention, so we said we would love to learn how to draw her characters. So we basically got a one on one drawing lesson in drawing Marigold and Pheobe. I will have to take pics of my and my kids work later.
Marigold’s head.
Marigold - full body.
