My table sign for FWA, for wherever in the Artist's Alley I manage to score a spot.
Tina's outfit is referenced from a pic on http://www.nifty50sshop.com/ , but modified for modern standards of attractiveness :). I penciled this up in about an hour and a quarter. Ink and color took a little longer. By the way, everything in this pic was inked with a brush...even down to the laces and eyelets on her skates. I hope to maintain this level of competence once I'm behind an Artist's Alley table at the con :)
As this is a single-layer pic (not including the text), the full-size file was still on the lightweight side compared to some other pics I've done recently. Now all I have to do is remember to print and pack it :)
Why use quad skates instead of in-line? Maneuverability, according to folks who play roller-derby. As Tina (who by the way is also a roller/ice skater) is cosplaying a Fifties-style carhop, one might think being able to twist 'n turn in tight confines would be a desirable thing.

Well, consider how old the character is...I've had a lot of practice :)
I'll give credit to "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" for leading me down the dark path of always using stick figures to plot out the pose of a character before building up the limbs with geometric shapes. After that, it's like the old joke about getting to Carnegie Hall...practice.
In this case, because the position of the feet were somewhat important, I actually drew them first, and worked my way up the rest of the body, finding out along the way that I made the legs too long. But it was a stick figure, so little time was wasted adjusting everything so the body would fill up the maximum space without cutting anything off.

Thanks, but at FWA, the artist's alley is first-come-first serve. Since it's open 24 hours during the con, it's not too difficult to get a spot there--just that you may not be in the same location each session.
Anthrocon is a different story. It's AA is bigger than a lot of con's dealer's rooms, but seats are awarded on a lottery basis. If you don't get a slot on the first pick, your name goes on a call-list, and if anyone leaves the AA, people on that list get called first. The first time, I was the second to miss a spot, but got one maybe an hour later.
However Anthrocon's AA is so big, that one may not make much on sketches and badges, unless one has the recognition that comes with doing a lot of pr0n :D (IOW, I made $95 at FWA versus I think maybe $25 at AC)
