New month, new challenge + unexpected surprise!

Hello everyone!

How are things going?
First of all, let me all wish you a happy month!
For me, even though they've been going tremendously bad for most part of the previous month, due to a very close family member's health issues, luckily, near the end of the month it managed to bright up with a cosplay party-contest which I attended.
It was my very first cosplay contest to which I participated and I've chosen to participate with my very first cosplay, since I always wanted to wear it on a contest but never had the chance to do so, until recently.

I can tell it was a wonderful experience, I got the chance to meet other wonderful cosplayers, whose not only their skills were amazing but their personalities as well.
And on top of that, I had a wonderful surprise coming my way! I won 1st place on the cosplay contest!
I can tell it was totally unexpected and didn't believe it was possible! I was so happy that I was first announced to go on top 5 places, which filled me with happiness! Even that would be enough to make me happy. And later on, I got 1st place!

If you don't believe me, here's the article with the photos as well (but it's in greek, so if you need any help with the translation, just ask me! )

*Edit: Also, here's the video with the whole cosplay contest!

At this point, I want to give special thanks to the ones who were there supporting me as well as Azixel , for helping me out with wearing the cosplay, RenePolumorfous for being there with me and also having one of the best Anivia cosplays I've ever seen (I love you! ), Konveekou for being there supporting us, Mary Chan who took wonderful photographs of us (you may find her on facebook under the name Μαρία Χατζηκυριάκου), Dunadan21 for showing us the way (yep, apparently we got lost and were about not to even get there in the first place) and supporting us wholeheartly as well as the rest of the team and the judges and everyone in inspot and game space.

Also, I might upload some more photos of that day, so be patient until my next actual artwork comes.
So, for the time being, I will keep on working on some other stuff, might do some fanart in between before I actually come back on track. There are things I'm currently working on and are unfinished, so, be patient my dear friends!

Stay tuned and wait until my next update!
