While I was at Anthrocon 2009, I decided I needed to get a proper badge that would explain exactly who my character is supposed to be and what he's supposed to look like. Then I saw that Meg Lyman was offering a deal on painted badges with your fursona as a cephalopod. So I was all over that, because cephalopods are awesome and we should see more of them. So this is basically my leopard fursona as an octopus.
Typically I go into furry cons with a ridiculously elaborate plan including a massive list of panels I want to go to that I've painstakingly worked out over the previous few days, which for most of the con, I will completely ignore and just get caught up in some random thing I happened to wander into. This is a small part of the reason I consider myself to be part raccoon now.
EDIT: You're seriously telling me this is the only submission on Inkbunny to use the tag "species swap"? This must be rectified, post haste.
