I really love attending conventions--it's always a joy to meet so many enthusiastic fans of comics and art and to be able to talk shop and share our passion for all the things we love.
One thing I have always struggled with, however, is sketch/commission requests. As much as I wish I were better at it and could sketch for everybody, it has rarely worked out. I suppose I just prefer drawing in the comfort of my studio where I can hopefully produce work that won't make me cringe with embarrassment. Nobody wins when I try to sketch at a show!
So this year, I decided to try something different and commissioned myself ahead of the shows. I drew whatever I felt like and enjoyed drawing some characters that no one ever requests, at least not from me.
Here is some of the art I made to bring along to Heroes Convention and Baltimore Comic Con this past year (I could have sworn I already shared these, so apologies if this is a repeat post). There were a couple other pieces I neglected to scan/photograph, including another Catwoman and a Wonder Woman, but they'll probably pop up online somewhere and I'll post them here when they do.
All of these pieces are 9"x12". I've included a few photos along with scans to get a better sense of scale.
I also went overboard on a large Savage Land Rogue painting which I brought with me to Baltimore Comic Con, but I'll save that for it's own post in a bit.
All of this art was sold at the conventions, but I do have one more piece to sell and will be posting that shortly. Stay tuned!
