Summary: So my friends and I went there, and damn we had such fun! So many cool cosplayers, and great times to be had. Lines were terrible, but I also got to meet some incredible people?! So all in all a good day!

OH AND I MET SUPERBOY XD

So start of the day, lines, lines, lines

So I dressed up as Dipper pines cuz honestly I don’t have any other costume that fits me.

I went with my sister too. Btw, she’s the one who does some art for me sometimes, the ones I share here (she’s too shy to share it herself)

So lots of stuff happened but well, since this is a damijon blog, let me just share with you the relevant stuff...like how I met my first ever Superboy Jon Kent Cosplayer in my country, the cute, talented, and huge Super Sons fan,  Superboy PH!  He was with his Justice League cosplayers group together with his dad, and man, when we met, we were both extremely giddy and excited cuz I just loved his cosplay (and Jon Kent lol) and he was sooo stoked that someone recognized his cosplay (jon kent needs more love in my country)! And when I showed him my phone lockscreen, which was a Jon Kent panel from Jorge Jimenez’s art in Super Sons 8, he was like, “we were destined to meet up!”

So we chatted a lot about the fandom, and he’s a real huge fan of the series, too. His jacket/cape was custom made, he bought the shoes and he ripped his pants himself. I told him that I came across a booth that was selling some Super Sons merch and he was like “show me!” and we ran back to it. Sadly though, when we got there, a lot of the merch was already sold out. The artists said it was my fault, and they’re not wrong, because when I found them earlier, I nearly cleaned them out, I mean check out the stuff I bought!

how can you say no to this amazing art by @meigeu and @euaruu ??

And they are huge fans of the series too, and when they saw Superboy there was much fanboying to be had lol. As a compromise, I let Superboy borrow my print so he could pose for pictures for with it.

I even chatted up Superboy’s dad, and man, he was just so proud of his kid. He told me that Superboy is actually a commercial model/actor on the side. and to prove just how proud he is, he took out a phone with one of the commercial already on the screen ready for me to watch XD Kinda reminds me of how Clark would dote on Jon haha.

So I learned some time ago that Comiccon Asia 2018 was happening... AND they're having FOUR Overwatch Voice Actors showing up as guests. <3 <3 <3

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS GAME AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN/AROUND/ABOUT IT???

I bought tickets for autographs and photo ops with Sym's and Sombra's VAs despite us still kind of recovering from a massive vet bill recently (which is another long story), and my husband didn't divorce me, so that's good haha. I really hoped to get tickets to see everyone because who knows when they'll be able to come back to this country -- or if they'd want to -- but two is the best we could do. Was also hoping to get a ticket for Zen's VA for the husband, but it was a no go. :( Thankfully, hubby is cool with it, but still...  CURSE MY THIN WALLET. T__T;;

Anyway.... Soooooooo.... I bought passes for their March 25 appearance, and I suddenly got it into my head last night (at 1am saturday March 24... whyyyyyyyy...) to make a small tribute artwork for said OW VAs. And this is the result. Herp. 

I don't think I have EVER worked so fast in my life. I was even able to rush to the print shop to have it printed on A4 paper, so yay!

I'm looking forward to giving copies to Sym and Sombra... but yeah. I still don't know how I'm supposed to hand it over to Pharah and Zen. Hopefully there's a designated gift table, or maybe I can beg a staff member to hand it to them. I'm crossing my fingers. >__<;;;

Anyway, I copied default poses and drew Zen, Sombra, Pharah (sorry I know I can't draw hands or feet ;w; ) in some stylized regional traditional costumes. I know I took some liberties in there, and I also know I may have gotten some of pharah's tattoo symbolisms wrong herp pls don't lynch me, history enthusiasts... T__T;;

For the curious, here are the details:

Sombra is wearing a Baro't Saya with a Panuelo and Tapis, and is holding typical streetfood/snacks-on-sticks haha. It's called "kwek-kwek" (orange-battered and deep fried hardboiled quail eggs) and "bananacue" (fried plantains with caramelized sugar).

Zen is wearing a "katipunero" outfit, and sipping juice out of a fresh, opened coconut (if omnics could drink??).

Pharah is in a not-the-usual-red Ifugao outfit, and is holding sunflowers and wearing a traditional headress.

Symmetra dressed as a Maranao princess, dancing the singkil. She is also materializing a "sarimanok" or Bird of Happiness from myths (aka, "lucky chicken" lol).

Very late post, but I went to ComicConAsia 2018 last month! Pretty alright event, long lines however killed my feet. It’s their first year so I’ll cut them some slack, I do hope they do better next year.
