Description Most of you who've watched me long enough probably recognize this old fanart piece.
The only thing new about it now is the signature of a special someone I met at MomoCon!

I had a fantastic time at MomoCon earlier this past weekend! It was the first time I had gone to a convention on this large of a scale! I got a chance to see and do a lot of great things. I ran into some artists I recognized online and bought some neat stuff such as fandom based tea and a manga book of Lupin the Third. In fact, I even decided to cosplay for the very first time by dressing up as Lupin in his Part 1/ Castle of Cagliostro get up.

But my personal favorite moment was I had the great opportunity to meet the producer of Animaniacs and many other cartoons; Tom Rugger! Paul Rugg was supposed to be there as well for a drawing duel, but unfortunately, he canceled and wasn't able to make it. Instead, another lady there had taken his place

Rugeer was stationed at the Walk of Fame section where he, along with many others, could do meet and greets. His line was surprisingly short compared to some of the others there, such as Steve Blum (Cowboy Bebop), Richard Horvitz (Invader Zim).

I will admit, I felt a little nervous as it's not often I get to meet famous and talented people. I was also a bit concerned about what to say as I didn't want to come as too typical or generic. When I showed my artwork, he thought it was amazing and asked me if it was the original. I reassured him that it was a copy and that he could sign anywhere he wanted to.

Not only did I get my piece signed, but I also got a print of one of his new artworks; The Warners, as various DC heroes with Batman!

It was a great honor to meet the person who created one of my favorite cartoons of all time!

P.S. I just realized that in all the years I have been on Deviantart, I've never done an official face reveal, aside from a self-portrait.
So here you go!
