Submitted 10 panels between two conventions for the summer! I’m curious to know if I get into both and if so with what panels?

So I’ll leave some info hear and loop back in a few months.

MagWest

- History in the road to El Dorado (since I can talk about music)

- Geography in Pokemon generations 1-4 (because game)

- Geography in Pokemon generations 5-10 (because game)

- Poorly Drawn Pokemon (testing out as a pane instead of a surprise set up)

GalaxyCon

- the previously listed 4

- History in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (because I’ve updated based on questions I kept getting)

Only from MagWest so far!

Poorly Drawn Pokemon was waitlisted! 👀

History in the Road to El Dorado was denied 😩

Geography in Gens 5-10 was 🌟accepted🌟

«The botany professor,» from Kkokei Shimbun, October 20, 1908. she's wearing a kimono blouse or haori, edwardian skirt or hakama, gibson girl bouffant, a lacy high-collar blouse with cravat and brooch, and a pocket watch with chain

Victorian tea gown that clearly started as a kimono.  It still has the long furisode sleeves, but now they’re gathered at the shoulder and turned around so that the long open side is facing the front instead of the back.  Similarly the back is taken in with curved seams to fit the torso and pleated below that for the skirt.

More prints to showcase hairstyles, two women wearing western wear and two women wearing kimonos.

This next one’s modern, but it involves hoopskirts so I’ll add it in because it makes me so happy.  There’s been different styles of wedding fashion that take kimonos and give them a more modern look.  Often this involves taking a kimono and then cutting and resewing it into a new dress.  Very pretty, but it can’t ever be worn like a traditional kimono again.  But now there’s another trend where the bride wears a hoopskirt with a white skirt, then you take the kimono and drape it on.  The back of the kimono covers the front of the dress, the long sleeves fall across the sides or the back, and you still wear an obi with it.  The result is pretty and the kimono itself doesn’t have to be altered at all.

And because you mentioned steampunk, I have to add in these two:
