My newest table card for my stints in convention Artist's Alleys.

I figured there was a need for a refresh in the way I drew Tina showing off as a roller-skating carhop (i.e. the waitstaff at a traditional drive-in eatery such as Sonic). The old-school "quad" skates are employed in reality since they are much more maneuverable than in-line skates). This image kind-of languished for a couple of years after I first drew it, and I resurrected it in-time for Anthrocon 2016 ("in-time" being relative--you could say this is what made me miss my train out to the con).I also added my username and the "endless train" of 'Canada hoppers' that scroll across my FA avatar, just for that litte extra authentication :) Just so you know, she hasn't tripped over anything--she's in mid-jump, using the brake on her trailing foot to hold it in place as she makes the leap.

This image is intended to convey my commission rates at conventions. Prices and offerings for online commissions may differ. Those are listed on the commission info tab on my homepage, and should be in line with the commission info journal linked from my profile on FA.

Post-AC, I made some adjustments in the artwork. Previously the pencil/ink examples were full-body images scaled down, but at that size you couldn't tell the pencil from the ink example. To fix that, I went back to the original pencils and inks and extracted the headshots from both that you now see here. It's debateable whether the 'clean pencil' is any more economical timewise than the inks--you can see how little sketchiness there actually is in the pencil version, and this runs counter to the accepted fashion of high-volume convention sketches. Inks on the other hand should require less cleanup of pencils to commence, and this is where I hope to make some gains in reducing time spent on cleanup so I can start inks sooner. It's a habit I need to break, as currently the pics that are to be inked look pretty close to the 'clean pencils' version when I start laying down brush strokes 9_9.

Trivia: In attempting to update Tina's outfit even further by designing a bare-midriff+miniskirt version in AC's 'Alley, I accidentally drew Tina's figure a bit taller and her head proportionally smaller with a different eye shape. After staring at this for a minute or so, I erased the ears, modified the nose, and found myself looking at a human version of Tina that looks a lot like I had envisioned my style applied to human caricatures (think of a combination of my style with that of Equestria Girls). I'll probably post it after some more fine tuning.
