Damn these are cool! So you want art you did for people from conventions? Am I understanding this correctly?

Exactly. We raffle these off at every show, and people will frequently send me scans when they get home. But I've only got a tiny fraction of the total in hand, and I'd love to collect a lot more of them here.

How about a villain-centric post this time?
Had a little extra time to do the one on the top, which is why you see more of the figure. And the one on the bottom is an unusual case as well. I drew it for someone at the Draw the World Together/ Omega Sektor minicon over in England a couple years back. But it was done way after the fact, and we've since been unable to contact the owner. I've got the original, so if you're the guy, please let me know!

there are probably a few folks who have gotten the sketches done who dont really frequent these parts anymore. it might be a good Idea to make a deviant art journal about it aswell.
A couple more: the drawing on the top comes to us from the first (and last) annual Wizard World Boston; the one on the bottom is from last month's Hero Con.

Stack 'em up, with each pic on a new "line", and everyone should be good!

Picky, picky.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.

Interesting. In the white reply window, as I'm typing lines, the pics seem to be stacked just as you suggested. I'll see what I can do though.

Ok, ok... enough of the love fest! More arts! NOW!
(Or whenever you get around to it...)
Hey, guys. So I was posting some of the comic-style marker sketches I did at this year's Hero Con, when a cool and unexpected thing happened: people started sending in sketches from other shows as well--lots of them. For years now, I've been drawing these for COH fans at San Diego Comicon, NYCC, Hero Con, and other conventions but they've never been posted on the forums as a group before...until now.
If you guys are interested, let's use this thread to collect as many of these as possible, make a little gallery of it, and finally let the forum community as a whole get a look at them.
I'll start posting the ones I've got in hand, and hopefully you guys'll continue sending in new ones. For the sake of consistency, please email scans of your art to dnakayam@hotmail.com. That way, I can crop, resize, and color correct all the pieces so they look good together.
Thanks in advance, and hope you enjoy the art.
