MegaCon Sketch Roundup
I was at MegaCon this past weekend where I was selling some books and doing some sketches, and maybe having a couple of Ghardelli sundaes. The books are packed away, and the sundaes, if they ever existed, are gone. But the art remains.
First was for a sketchbook of a guy's son with different super villains.I did Doctor Doom, for Doom is awesome. Plus, it's always nice to do an Ultimate Nullifier joke.
The other was a sketch cover of Deadpool. With all the consternation about con sketches, I figured, why not slaughter all the sacred cows at once?
Mark your Calendar For Triple Shots!
The next Triple Shot buying window will be Saturday, February 18, 2011 at 3:00p.m. Eastern. I'll be at MegaCon, but my automated super computer that's one glitch away from achieving sentience will be handling things.
Triple Shots Orders Open In 3 Hours
Just reminding you that another set of four Triple Shots go on sale today!
Triple Shot: Malcolm Reynolds
Plus, I mean Castle, right? How cool is that?
Rancho Obi-Wan: My First Step Into a Larger World
I visited Rancho Obi-Wan, the largest private collection of Star Wars merchandise (though I don't know who else would have more). It was fantastic. There was so much stuff… stuff I had as a kid, stuff I wanted, stuff I never saw and beyond. I got to play the Star Wars vector arcade game from the Eighties. I played chess against R2D2, who cheats. And best of all, I got to me Steve Sansweet, who is just the nicest guy. After my trip, I drew a thank you piece for Steve. His favorite character is Obi-Wan, and mine is Boba Fett. So I drew our two characters facing off against each other. And in my thank you note I admitted to Steve that, yes, I know that Boba Fett would lose. Heck, it'd be a victory if he walked away with both his arms. But it was still cool as can be to draw it.
And please, check out Rancho Obi-Wan's Facebook page. If you want to see more, check out Amy's report on the fully-functional memorabilia base. Go there if you're in Northern California. Totally worth it.
Triple Shot: Han Solo
Speaking of the Triple Shots, I will be showing them off here at the site.
I'm pretty happy with how the likeness came out,since doing a caricature in my cartoony style is sometimes difficult. And it was fun to look up the reference and make sure that the belt and the gun were right. And yes, I am using my iPad… well, my completely deductible iPad… to pull up reference at my drawing table. It's so nice not have to print out reference sheets any more.
And yes, he totally shot first.
Next Week's Triple Shots Announced
Wow! I hoped people would like my Triple Shot idea, and did you ever! The first four sold out in 20 minutes! So, we're going to do it again.
Next week on Tuesday, January 31st at 3:00pm Eastern Time, another four Triple Shots will go on sale. Same deal as the last time, except that a small shipping charge of $2 is now added to defray the cost of mailing them out.
Last week I did Han Solo, Malcolm Reynolds, Supergirl, and a character of someone's creation. Who will I draw this week?
