Kind of the best part of commissions is that I often have almost no idea what they mean. It just adds to the fun!  All I know about this is that it’s a height joke–which makes it all the more appealing to me, as my whole life is a height joke.

I do this every time.

We saw George Perez in the Orlando airport, he must have taken similar flights to ours. That was pretty cool! We didn’t say anything to him, though.

So, now that the show is over, I can post what my entry to the 2012 Artbook was.

This was the second year of the “Dreams and Wishes” theme, and my last years’ entry wasn’t too successful. For this year I did a bunch of quick thumbnail sketches of different thoughts, while I was playing Star Wars RPG at my friend’s house, and eating a bag of Reese Minis. This made the ideas a little weirder and more random, and Lisa chose this one as the most whimsical. I couldn’t tell you what it means, though, apart from “don’t eat an entire bag of Reese Minis in one sitting.”

Now I’ve got two convention commissions to finish off!  Back to the grindstone, I guess!

We set up our booths tonight. See all those empty tables, and space, and floor? Yeah. It’s not going to look like that any more when you get there.  It’s going to be made of people. Awesome and people.

So. I wanted to do a commemorative print for my table and here we have it: Puck has ensorcelled Demona and Xanatos into their Next Generation counterparts’ uniforms. I tried to decide which was the silliest, most Demona-angering Deanna Troi non-uniform uniform, but there’s no way to choose. They’re all ridiculous. So I went with the grey bunny suit, since that’s the one I associate with her.

As to why Puck would magic himself into Data’s uniform, I can’t answer that. Just put it down to Puck being Puckish. He has given himself captain’s pins, at least.

I want to shout out to Jenn on the Gargoyles Reawakening Facebook group who was able to tell me what Demona’s forehead looks like without that metal thing covering it.

Alternate title: Bippity Boppity Boobs.

This is not the entry that’s in it.  We’ve been asked not to post those.  But this year I took more of a shotgun approach and submitted multiple things, and this is the one that didn’t get selected.

Interestingly the one that did get selected also incorporates a pink unicorn.

There you go!

Just in the nick of time, too, because we’re now 12 days, 17 hours, and eight minutes away from the start of the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, where these little fellers will be for sale at my table (H05) in Artist Alley.  Wow!  Twelve days.  And all I have to do now is bag these up into sets, label them, create that Gargoyles print I planned to do and have barely started because of these friggin’ things, organize my print binders, print out my commission order forms, breathe into this brown paper bag, and combat this encroaching vertigo.  And nausea.  Twelve days!  TWELVE DAYS

I’m, um, going to go lie down for a bit.

I know squat about the world of G.I. Joe, but I am reliably informed that Snake Eyes does not giggle. At least, not audibly. I expect to continue to be reliably informed it by many, many people at table H05 in Artist’s Alley the weekend of April 28! Come be one of those people!

Back in the day I would have had to redraw them.  But in the twenty-first century I can just fix it in post production. And so if you spot any errors let me know and I can fix that in post too.

The set will be available at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, and after that, on my Etsy store.  Assuming any are left!
