Comic Con Post and Mark Gatiss Sign Event!

Hello Everyone!

As you know , I had been for the Mumbai Film & Comic Convention MFCC 2014 and it was a great experience.
Not only am I going to update specifically about the Mark Gatiss Signing event but also the entire convention in short.

So , The whole thing was of three days and I initially had thoughts of not going on one of the days since it would be having very similar events but I was wrong. Firstly my friend and I were very hyped as we would not only be seeing people cosplaying as their favourite manga , anime , tv show or even comic characters but also we would enter a whole new world of new people with similar interests,

The entire venue was pretty small and the first day was empty~
We left really early to be reaching the singing event on time. The crowd seemed a bit faint in the beginning but then people gradually began to swarm up into the venue. I parted from my friend for a while , asking her to wait until my autograph session got over.
I had never imagined in my entire anti-social human being life that I would be able to make any friend by just waiting in a queue for an autograph session. I guess fandoms do bring people together. *cues all my internet buds* Also , the background of the place where we stood was very Who-Lock-ified

The Tardis!

So after what nearly seemed like an hour of waiting , We got to see Mark Gatiss. He looked too adorable in the pink shirt he wore that day -laughs-

This is what i could capture through that crowd standing in front of me.

So , It was almost half an hour since I waited for my turn patiently and then we were given tiny post-its to write our names on , so that it could be easier for him to sign over our stuff.
I had somehow managed to make a decent sketch out of the time I had freed for myself in the day before we left for home. I hoped that he would like it!

As soon as I was let onto the panel , I was very nervous when I approached Mark. He seemed very welcoming and even called out my name asking me "So , How are you doing?"

I legit stuttered while I answered him and I told him that I love both the shows. I then could see him chuckle when I handed over the fanart for the signature. (I bet it's because I messed up his nose!!)

I then , nervously asked him for a High Five which he probably misheard to be a hug and said "Nooooo" So I had to repeat the entire thing all over again after which I got a high five !
I walked out of the venue , very star-stricken.

A Happy Panda is spotted

A bunch of my College Friends cosplayed and I saw really really cool ones too!

There was a cosplay duo that had come from Japan and one of them freaking cosplayed as Sasuke from Naruto so professionally that we could not tell if she was a boy or a girl crossplaying.

I will promote a few of them here , but on permission cause I don't like mentioning names on the blog.

There were so many stalls , right from basic art necessities to apparels to action figures and merch and books and manga and what not! The artists' section was something I very keenly looked forward to and I also happened to meet one of my favourite ones!

Other than that , we ran into a couple of stalls that caught my eye.
Like this particular one right here.

Well Look what I ran into!

Holy Cow!

The overall crowd on the first two days was lesser compared to the last day which is probably the reason because it was a Sunday.
I was surprised at how some stuff from the stalls got sold out on the last day very quickly. (lesson learnt, call dibs on it as soon as you see it)
Plus , I really pity myself for not having learnt the art of shopping at a comic con.

Out of all of these , I managed to buy a Naruto Illustration Book and a Bleach Character book along with two Tokyo Ghoul Keychains and then some free posters and stuff illustrated by artists!

I won't really write much anymore but I guess this was my comic con experience in a nutshell.
Looking forward to the one next year!

Never really thought of cosplaying though -hides-
Anyway , Have a nice week guys!

Bye Bye guys!

The Blog's New Name and Comic Con!

Hello!

I am not updating much but I had to update for the new name I had thought for this blog.
The new name for this blog was initially going to be "The life of a spaced out potato" but then I realised that the name would be too strange and it wouldn't be something I would be able to illustrate in the future.

After various combinations of thoughts, I decided to land on to the title "The Daily Writings Of A Confused Soul." 

Well , I am a very spaced out person by nature and mostly confused , so the name suited out of all the combinations I have had.
Another name that I had thought for the blog was , "The outer space diary of my mind" and honestly , I did not know how I would explain the meaning behind it , so I cancelled it. ( the name seems very very vague though)

Also , lately we've all been watching a lot of good films in our Film Studies classes so I have been enjoying different kinds of films and stuff.
I am also very excited for the comic con I would be going to soon. It is in my home city and this is probably the first ever comic con I am going to go for~
The best part of it is , Mark Gatiss is one of the Special Guests for the event and he's going to have an Autograph session and I reeeeeaaaaallllly hope that I get to go for it!
Can't wait for next week at all!

Well for now , I think this is too much of an update.
Hope you all have / had a nice day!

Bye Bye!
