W00t, last con of the year!
This year I decided to visit Nishicon, which held it's 3rd edition. A lot of my friends went this time, and I had a place to sleep nearby, so why the hell not!?

Saturday

We had to wake up early because I was traveling with friends from Groningen. My friends somewhat hated me because I was done so fast because I would wear a gijinka that day (Monokuma), which is pretty much only a sweater with a wig. So after we were all done it was time to leave, but we had to visit the supermarket first because we had to get some donuts for bradaan 's  character (Aoi Asahina from Dangan Ronpa).

And thus we left on our long journey with lots o' fog and I also slept a bit, and pics were made but I'll keep those to myself :')

So we got to the convention and it had a lot of parking space which is always a plus. Shortly after we arrived we came across ssjbra-chan who was dressed as Rei of HOTD. We quickly got ready and we decided to hit the dealerroom first. I got to say, the dealerroom was bigger than expected. And it had a lot of variety. Which my wallet and me did not expect. :')

I want one ;_;

Shortly after we also came across some more Dangan Ronpa cosplayers and we took a quick picture together before parting ways. I figured Dangan Ronpa would be somewhat popular, but it was pretty insane how many times people recognized me and wanted to take pictures. And that for a cosplay I didn't work hard on at all ^^;;

I had some shoots as well, first of course with bradaan and Hellbunny46 and after them I made some photos of Evadoll her Pokemon cosplay along with a friend of hers. Turns out my camera settings were completely wrong all weekend so I had to throw 80% of my material away -_-" After this I visited the CMV compo, because a friend of mine was entering. Only two of the five entries were somewhat impressive, especially the last one, holy crap. View it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZXNQ6… So that video got a well deserved first place! I also want to work on something like this one day, so who knows? XD

After that my friends decided they were done with the con and went home ;O; But fortunately I still had a lot of friends at the con :D It was also time for some pizza! And because it's kind of a tradition, we made an epic pizza tower. And senseNcreativity even managed to find us a private room to eat in because you technically weren't allowed to eat your own food at the con ^^; Anyway my pizza was delicious~

There was also gonna be a Miku concert with holograms and such. I have no interest in Vocaloid so I decided not to go, and I figured I'd go to the bingo at the same time all by myself. XD But suddenly everyone wanted to come with me and ditch the Miku concert! And man, there were so many people at the bingo!! I teamed up with Amirine, but boy did we suck or what!!! XD The boyfriend team didn't do so well either though. After that was over, people there asked if we wanted to stay for "Evil Cosplay", where you had to dress someone up in a cosplay using only kitchen supplies. It sounded like fun. I didn't mind volunteering (I'd figured they'd dress me up as a cardboard Gundam or something)... but I got to be a fricking rainbow unicorn and well my whole body hurt after having to sit in that position for so long XD BUT WE WON!! CANDY!! :'D

And after that the hentai voiceover. I didn't expect too much. First some guys from national TV tried it :') Anyway, it was pretty boring...
After that it was time to go home. 

Some photos I took that day;
 

Sunday


On sunday it was time to change into my Saber cosplay :) Her casual winter outfit. 
But first we got to go to the fashion show! It was pretty interesting :)
After that I met up with Lou's Cosplay for a shoot with her Soul Calibur cosplay! I was so happy because she's an awesome cosplayer in my opinion, and super nice as well :D

We were quickly joined by REPLICA-Photography, devamirine: and her BF :) Also a lot of random bypassengers came up to us out of curiousity but we got some great responses. The shoot was really fun to do and everyone was very patient with me. Thanks *bow*

When we got back I still wanted some pics of my own cosplay before it got dark... so fortunately Chastten had some time for me ^-^ Resulting in a few photos;

After that it was time for the Cosplay Fashion show. I was surprised how many great cosplayers were competing, since I figured this would be a smaller con. So it was fairly amusing, although the lighting could've been better. 

After that it was already time to go home but we quickly made some photos of the Fate cosplayers of that day!! ^^

With lots of derp because we can. Photo by Chastten

And that was Nishicon! A bit boring as a convention itself, but the people made it an amazing weekend! So I'll hopefully see you guys next year it Nishicon. 

My loot~ ChiChi is SO cute. No regrets!!
